In my old neighborhood I would order from the same burger place at least weekly (they had a lamb burger with feta that was TO DIE) and after a while I noticed they stopped putting new menus in my bag—I tweeted that they must have noticed I order from them a lot. They replied. They noticed.

Since when is it the [all cap] GAP? Is it suddenly an acronym?

As a type 2 diabetic, my endocrine system is cringing hard at the thought of all those carbs.

I lived in NYC during the heyday of this commercial.

After unexpected, lifesaving open-heart surgery last year, I was directed to make major food and exercise changes. As a result, I’ve lost about 75 pounds in 14 months; I’d still like to drop another 1o or so. What I’m finding is that what I eat is almost as important as how much. I’m on a carb-restricted diet, and I…

I heard Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are feuding in heaven.

“If I Can’t Sell It” is genius - she did it in the big, splashy Broadway revue Black & Blue and brought down the house - you don’t get he full effect in the video, because when she turns and strides off at the end, it turns out that the vast, glittering starry background she’s been singing in front of is in fact her…

So when do we start getting the Liz ‘n’ Dick-style GIFs?

I was thinking more Dynasty Does Dallas, but yours works, too...

The animated film had more, I think, to do with the play and film Anastasia, from the ‘50s. The movie starred Ingrid Bergman and Yul Brynner, with Helen Hayes as the Dowager Empress. It’s hokum of a very high order, but the performances are terrific, and the ending is one of the best from from Hollywood’s Golden Age.…

They’ve been adorable, the trip has been a huge hit, and now they’re BFF’s with the King and Queen of Bhutan (she’s Queen Jetsun, which I just find endearing and hilarious). And they get to go home to those two beautiful kids. I have a lot of time for the whole family, really (except maybe the Yorks, most of the…

Yeah, you’re 33 now, we get it.

So how much of this is really “rearranged travel schedule” and how much is “suddenly had sitcom pulled out from under her”?

I saw via a friend’s FB posting this earlier today and figured it was just more clickbait - but now I’ve checked and I’m really peeved. Lots of spam and random noise, but several - going back anything up to six years - from very old friends I would have liked to connect with, includng one from a former colleague who…

...creating a number of spin-off beliefs among African-Americans, including groups like the “Moorish Nation.”

“Violet Trump” sounds like she’d be the short-fingered vulgarian’s old-money cousin, an elderly lady who’s been consistently appalled by every single thing about his life since something like 1978, a woman currently ashamed to show her face at her retirement home’s weekly bridge club.

...the naturopath they saw encouraged them to see a real doctor.

This is basically the look at waaaaay too many Egyptian weddings: foofy, low-cut bridal gowns, with a turtleneck underneath, then the hijab, used as a base for a vast tiara/garland veil combo. Here’s a random (slightly variant, with yards of thick illusion fabric in place of the turtleneck) example:

...but that I will be enthusiastically invited to a showing by That One Friend.

It’s just that she looks so... different. Not really all that much worse, or better, or anything - just not much like Renee Zellweger. Watching the preview for the new movie (which I think is as close as I’ll be getting to it, despite being very fond of the first and more than adequately amused by the second) was just…
