I think you are right about not wishing it on others. I just want to point out though that people with dementia do suffer. There is a period of time when you are aware of what is happening, and you are aware of what you will become, and of the burden you will be on your family. Alzheimer's runs in my family and it…

Whoa! I missed that it was Pete in the mirror!

I wondered that, too. We don't know that Pete revealed anything, only that Ken assumed he did. It could have been several people, including Peggy, not realizing the risk it was to Ken. I think it was Peggy because they have that pact and it would put a strain on their friendship.

Yes, he was. How interesting. And he was "begging" Megan for a baby, but she said no way. You're right. They are chipping away at the gender expectations. A little bit of feminism goes a long way. For boys and girls alike.

Pete is suffering from the Masculine Mystique. This idea of what life is supposed to be like for a white guy from a rich family, that being king is supposed to be the goal and supposed to make him happy. But it doesn't work, because their is no self-awareness in it, no ownership of it. It is just what he is…

Is it the first on Long Island or the first in the country, because I know there was one in Seattle in 2004: [seattletimes.nwsource.com]

Little off topic, but the paintings reminded me of a blog I read about why nude women in classic art are always covering their crotches while nude men are showing off the full monty: [melissahuang.com]

I had a Teela eraser. For some reason, I erased her boobs off and then regretted it. I wish I still had that eraser.

Think faces or vases.

Sort of related (but sort of not):

Just want to clarify that it is in Congress in Washington, DC that the anti-bullying legislation is getting mucked up, NOT in Washington State.

Catepillars are shaped like a penis and Reince Priebus is a dick. It's like Reince IS the caterpillar. Obviously he isn't going to wage war on himself, that would be stupid.

Talk about missing the forest for the trees!

I read a study a while back that tracked women on their second pregnancy. During the second pregnancy, the women ate more healthily and exercised more than they had in the first pregnancy. And GUESS WHAT! On average, the women gained the same weight during BOTH pregnancies. Meaning you are going to gain what you…

Protesters can be anywhere the public is allowed to be, including the sidewalk outside of public middle school. Unless they have entered the school without permission, there isn't much you can get a restraining order for.

Last year, I went to the eye doctor for a check up and she did this test to see if I can see these 3-D images on this little card. I couldn't see them, which meant that my eyes don't communicate with each other the way normal eyes do. I see normally in life and have excellent vision, though, so I had never noticed a…

I was amused because usually shows find any reason they can to keep the female character out of her clothes, while the male character she just had sex with is dressed and out the door. But in this episode, Damon just refused to put on any clothes. After he got out of the shower, he refused to even DRY OFF. He…

Yes! I'll have to look that up!

I'm afraid I haven't seen the movie you are talking about, so I don't know. I prefer the camp of the show to the dark of the movies.

I know the tv show is full of ridiculousness, but my favorite scene was when all the world's leaders had been dehydrated into vials of colorful powder by the Joker. They were all waiting to be reconstituted by Batman at the UN, and Batman stopped to put money in the parking meter for the batmobile. Robin was…
