I re-use towels, but I also live in a swamp and none of the good towel drying areas in my house are connected to the ventilations system, which means they don’t always dry as well as I would like, so I change towels about every 3rd time. I could probably try hanging them to dry in the den or something, but then they…

I find him funny in small doses and exhausting when it’s just him. But I also respect his openness about his addiction/sobriety, his openness about his struggles with bulimia, his openness about his mental illness, and his political activism.

Yeah, I tried to parse it for a minute and then wandered off. Like, it’s weird AND boring. Not a combination you see very frequently, but also not enough to capture my attention. Although Tinsley’s was almost as bad (false eyelashes fix everything even a mugshot, or similar).

In the politics of friendship I win the popular vote (zzzz). And I had to go re-watch it to figure that out, because I also could not remember.

In fairness it’s like...aunts and cousins, not like my mother in law or sister in law or anything. My husband’s family is huge. And there are 35 ways to spell “Megan” now.

Ehh. I have in laws who still can’t spell my name and I’ve been married for 12 years. And it’s a super easy name to spell. There just also happen to be multiple spellings and they can’t remember which one it is. They aren’t shading me, I promise. I think she just spelled them the way they sound to her and didn’t…

I think she just likes older men. Chris Martin was 14 or 15 years older than her. It’s not my thing, but I don’t think there’s anything particularly creepy about it considering she was an independent adult when it started and did not have any kind of relationship with either of them prior to becoming an adult.

So 1.) Jennifer Lawrence apparently just digs significantly older men. It’s not my personal thing, and if I was going for an older man I don’t think Chris Martin or Darren Aronofsky would be on my list, but good for her, I guess? 2.) This Selina/The Weeknd thing makes me worry because she always appears to be…

This makes so much more sense. I was like...30 minutes? 8 weeks? Most noise complaints don’t even get a fine the first time (at least round these parts they generally just ask you to turn it down and keep it down. If they have to come out again you might get a fine. I was at a few parties in college that got shut down…

8 weeks of jail time for 30 minutes? I just can’t help but remember the time in college someone blasted Papa Roach’s Last Resort for 24 hours. Or that time I lived above some really nice potheads who would listen to Cypress Hill on loop for DAYS AT A TIME and these people think 30 minutes of a not great pop song is…

If it sounds completely insane and impractical it was Hildi. I have never recovered from the one where she stapled fake flowers to every wall in a bathroom. I still shudder to think how gross that would have gotten if anyone actually left them up more than 30 seconds after the cameras stopped rolling.

It is. Any music is fine. Whatever you listen to. I play the radio a lot and then just figure out what songs she responds to. There is a lot of Mariah Carey and Bruno Mars in our house right now (Bruno’s a bit iffie on the content, but hell, she’s not even 2. I’ll worry about it if she shows up at daycare talking…

I have no idea why, but the ABC song is the only thing that works to get my toddler to brush her teeth/let me brush her teeth. But it’s magic and she’s actually hearing the ABCs so whatever.

I highly recommend wheels on the bus because you can just make shit up. I once sang a version with approximately 45 verses because it was working and I could just make up a random thing to be on the bus making noise. Old MacDonald Had a Farm also worked for this reason, and I knew I had been singing it a lot when my…

She’s a grown woman with agency and that means accepting the consequences of your choices. Like, fine, you can choose to be with him. But other people do not have to choose to associate with you any longer, or hire you, or trust you.

If you look at it from the perspective that my 35 year old cousin was considered a “geriatric” pregnancy, it makes more sense. Granted 4 years is still a decent amount of time, and plenty of women get pregnant in their late 30s, but in general doctor’s still considered it advanced age by mid-30s.

I hated it and everyone said it was so sweet and romantic so I had no idea it was actually that dark. I think some leeway can be given for the fact that most of what he says is “You’re beautiful” and many of the other lyrics aren’t that comprehensible?

In college one of the guys in my husband’s dorm played this song on loop for 24 hours straight, and it didn’t occur to any of us that maybe someone should check on him. (He did not kill himself, by the way, I think he just liked the song, but still).

Every Breath You Take. I know people who think this is a love song.

I’m gonna disagree about sippy cups. Those are intended to save my life when we are in public and keep my toddler from dumping water on everything, everywhere. she uses a real cup at home (mostly. she really likes to put all of her food in her water cup while eating and I don’t know why this is the one thing that…
