Which is why she’d be perfect for the show!

Yes! The wrapping room could be like a secret lair for all of the good gossip.

That’s why I’m leaning Candy with Tori as a side character.

Thank you! I went with the Merrium Webster version, but apparently Kinja didn’t like it:

You know who should join RHOBH. Candy and/or Tori Spelling. Imagine the hijinks that would ensue! Also, why is Kinja flagging my spelling of hijinks? I swear that’s how it’s spelled.

Sweet Jesus, the clots! I’m not due to see my doctor until winter break. I’m thinking/hoping it’s just my plumbing cleaning itself out after years of BC.

I’ll commiserate with you. I’m a lady of a certain age, and I’m currently not on any BC. My periods have returned to my pre-BC days, and I feel like I’m in high school again. I actually had to buy some super plus tampons for the first time in forever, and let’s just say that even those aren’t lasting 6 hours. Ugh.

Oh, wow. That’s a bit presumptuous. I think part of my problem is that I’m old enough to have gotten a gmail account when it was still in beta, so it’s just my name - no numbers, middle initial, or anything. I think people just assume, perhaps like your individual, that an email address will just match the name.

I love those random name twin emails. My married name is fairly common around the world in English speaking countries. One of my name twins works for NBC New Zealand. I’ve received her plane ticket confirmations, scripts for TV shows, contracts, and her mortgage paperwork. Name twin in England just tested negative for…

I’ve taken to saying talk to/ask your/check-in with your adults to my middle schoolers. They’re a bit more savvy, so I don’t often have to clarify by saying grandparents, aunts/uncles, guardians, the adult that you live with. My school district is actively starting to use families in their phrasing instead of parents…

I realize now that my comment offers little info; sorry about that. The kid who started the fire in Oregon didn’t set out with the intention of starting a massive forest fire, but he was intentionally throwing lit firecrackers into the canyon. I think in some of these cases one could argue criminal negligence at the…

And how is this any different than the kid who started the big Columbia Gorge fire a few years ago?

My mom is the type to save everything - wrapping paper, gift boxes, gift tags, etc. She has a whole bin for my sister and I that she has used year after year since the early 80s. My sister and I both still get gifts from Santa because he made sure my mom hung on to those gift tags!

I did when they first got started, but it’s been a few months.

Me, too. The shuttering of Splinter only rubs salt in the wounds. I still haven’t quite found a solid Gawker replacement.

For a great blast from the past, check out the comments on The Concourse.

Is it wrong of me to wish that someone had chucked a roll back at him à la the Bush shoe thrower?

Can we build a wall out of paper towels?

Great idea. Why not use some of the heavier duty military style ones? Some super quick and dirty research gives a rough estimate of about a 45 lb carrying capacity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAVs_in_the_U.S._military

I’m starting to think that, too. I have my second opinion endodontist appointment coming up, but I’m going to bet they’re going to say it’s not worth it.
