And I forgot to add...A shot of Goldschlager (or any good cinnamon schnapps) is really tasty in a big ol' glass of cider.

Love me some hard cider. I've been drinking it for at least 18 years, even when it was hard to find in Montana and Minnesota.

How stupid is a hacker to not understand that a receiver (speaker/video screen) is in the parent room, and the monitor (microphone/video camera) is in the baby's room? Still an asshole, but also a really stupid asshole.

There are two lesbian RV parks in the US. Apparently it is a really secret thing. I was told by someone in the know. ;)

:)

There are letters from Napoleon to Josephine, in which he says, in effect, "I'll be home in a week. Stop bathing. I can't wait to smell you." That's awesome.

Ivar's? Now I want Ivar's and I haven't lived in Seattle since 1986. :'( Ivar's is absolutely amazing!

I'm a Christmas Eve baby, myself, and I love it. We even had my birthday in September one year (BORING!), just so I could see if I was missing anything. No one ever has forgotten my birthday, and I often got extra gifts as a kid, because family felt bad. I also NEVER got a combined gift. I've only gotten Christmas…

Tee hee hee. My husband is a political science professor, but was studying for that before we knew of the family connection.

No, but it is possible to be a descendant of John Adams and not John Quincy. I just always say both. Actually, it is Abigail that I think rocks.

Yeah, my husband is a descendant of both John and John Quincy Adams. So what? It means something to us, but we don't subject the rest of the world to our special little snowflake-ness. *rolling my eyes*

You ARE kidding, right? This craptastic new commenting system where one can't see anything without major searching is the reason you can do the book club? Oh, I'm calling major shenanigans.

I agree, untensil. It is all about viewing the past through the lens of one's childhood, and not using adult analysis.

...and cherry pie.

I really wish, looking back 20 + years later, that I had taken both home ec and shop. Prep for life was a great class, but all three would have been so much better.

This!

Why is that weird, Molly? I've known men with beautiful long hair that I've envied. It is hair. Gender neutral stuff. Everybody's got some hair.

Nobody said that the woman who wrote the joke or the woman who wrote the piece were scowling. It wasn't even implied. They just WEREN'T smiling.

I assumed they knew that due to the fact that they started it off by saying "Funny or Die" made the visit. *shrug*

Carole Mortimer! I still look for her in used book stores. The obvious daddy issues are so weird/funny now, but when I was in high school, I would nod knowingly to myself, thinking, "oh, yes, the right high powered man in his 40s would totally see how mature I really am." ROTFL!
