cue Phantom Planet "Californiaaaaaaaaa!"

He reminds me of my own princess. She is a sweetheart, born without her hind legs fully formed. She is ripped in her front legs and is wanting all the lovez.

If this shit happens in California, I will revolt. REVOLT.

Better than Boston - where ANY drink specials are completely forbidden. ie. no happy hours.

I am...Are we related?

That's the best endorsement for New Orleans I've ever heard. They should put it on bumper stickers.

So glad once again that I moved from NYC to New Orleans. Life is essentially a bottomless brunch here.

No one should make or serve anything with "congealed" in the name.

Has anyone else here had Trailer Park Trifle? The ingredients are Twinkies, canned fruit cocktail, cream cheese, and vanilla pudding. I made this to represent my ethnic heritage (Hillbilly) at a Thanksgiving party while in grad school. (Yes, it was anthropology.) Surprisingly, it was a hit and I had to bring it every…

For the love of god, my mom did that this Thanksgiving. Called it "cheesy pickle dish" (and no, there were no pickles).

I'll just leave this Aquarium gelatin salad right here.

You haven't experienced true MCM levels of barf-inducing horror until you've encountered the beast that is the Ham-Banana Casserole:

It may not be served again after last Christmas when she asked if she should make it and I told her (a few glasses of wine into the holiday) that it looked like an abortion. Oops.

There is a whole BBC series about foods in different eras, from ancient Rome to the 1980s. My particular favourite is the episode about the 70s:

Nobody in medicine denies that vaccines can cause adverse reactions. Adverse reactions can be very bad (sometimes fatally bad), but we vaccinate because those adverse reactions are rare. However, the adverse reaction doesn't seem rare to the unfortunate person who experienced the adverse reaction. It's important to…

But if your son was in hospital the adverse event he experienced will have been reported to the CDC. The CDC collect this information and provides really very reliable statistics on the rate of adverse events reported after each vaccination. There's a lot to hate about the health system in this country, but this is…

This doesn't sound like anything a little coconut oil and homeade bone broth couldn't fix.

I thought I had something similar last night. But turns out, after watching 6 straight hours of Downton, my legs had just fallen asleep.

No they are not both the herpes virus. Cold sores are, canker sores aren't. Canker sores can be caused by stress, hormones, damage to the mouth, etc. A canker sore is basically an ulcer. They are two very different things.
