This reminds me so very much of when, during the height of the Twilight craze, I had the great pleasure of being tasked with discussing the 100,000 ways that Edward is not a good boyfriend with the teenaged daughter of a family friend (since it sickens me a little that young girls were thinking that stalker was worth

I guess I am ( I had to Google dolphin shorts - no one would describe me as fashion forward!). I just picture Larry Bird rocking these out, I guess (or whoever you like from Back In The Day - I happen to know some people from his hometown so he sticks in my mind).

All of that makes sense to me. I just think that if they would like to try to shape the conversation into something more than appearance and relationships (and that may be giving some celebrities too much credit), I'm fine with a little trolling.

Leave the red carpet ladies alone! It is a part of their careers to do these events, but it does not mean that they have to smile politely until the end of time while they are asked inane questions. If they would like to try to protest in their own way, have at it.

Actually my first thought when I saw them is that they look like white basketball shorts from the 80's. I know that the 80's have been back for a while, but just...no.

I blamed SBTB for making me believe that boys would ask me out on real dates to the movies and stuff in high school. It happened once. What gives, Fictional Universe?

I am exactly thirty and I LOVED this show. My husband and I sometimes still watch the reruns when they come up. :-)

My thoughts exactly. I still think MPG is gorgeous, but he's the one who aged the most. Whoda thunk?

I LOVED that movie - of course, I also had a scrapbook of clippings about Titanic, which I found while recently cleaning out my parents' basement. Ah, to be young and silly.

I've always had a laugh when I read stuff like that. After witnessing a number of 50 plus year marriages and being with my husband for 12 years myself, when someone in Hollywood who has been with a SO for five minutes talks about how life is complete now or they're "better than ever", I want to go full judgmental

Cry Baby was the first PG-13 movie I ever saw (I wasn't supposed to be watching it, of course). Johnny Depp used to be cool and attractive, is what I'm saying.

I think I'm actually running out of regular ole soap. :-) Thank you for the reminder.

I am a Michigan Law graduate and I would love to know who the hell he thought was going to join him in his ridiculous homophobia at that school.

Also, my husband is pumped to make our son his specialty when he's old enough - homemade pretzel dogs (no joke but his are delicious). Granted I make him buy very specific sausages and such these days, but still, as I write those words, I can hear the souls of 1,000 natural mamas dying.

Good point. I'm back at work now and absolutely none of the moms here seem to think about these things - then again I work in an environment that doesn't seem to attract many crunchy types so perhaps that is the difference.

Thank you. I've been thinking of doing this - especially since my son is too young to be fully vaccinated - but I'm nervous because I generally avoid confrontation.

Exactly. Moderation is a wonderful thing.

My point exactly. On some things I'm pretty crunchy (I'd probably like food shopping with you) but after I expressed some skepticism about their vaccine and essential oil beliefs - very nicely, I swear - I'm fairly certain that this particular Mommy and Me crowd thinks my son is going to drown in a vat of Clorox

Fox News is so incredibly silly. There are ridiculous "stupid man" tropes out there that have long out stayed their welcome, but Frozen, seriously? It's always like this with Fox News - I often truly wonder if we're living on the same planet because it seems like we're not even watching the same damn movie (or

I recently had a baby and I learned the hard way that this was now A Thing that was going to come up in social situations. I joined a Mommy and Me type class because I didn't have many mom-friends living nearby, but I quickly found that almost all discussions devolved into "it's scary how many shots they want to give
