Sapphires are awesome & they come in all colors of the rainbow! Blue, pink, purple, orange, green, yellow, red & on & on. Red sapphires are a bit special & get their own classification as rubies. My engagement ring is a yellow sapphire.

I'm an American & have an aunt named Elaine. Eh-laine is how she pronounces it & most of the Elaine's I know outside the family as well.

Trigger, big huge trigger. :( Now I'm bawling. Hearing this song reminds me of my Dad. It's going on 2 years since he passed away & this just made me miss him so intensely.

You could try replacing part of her food with canned pumpkin puree. Not the kind with spices ready to make into pie, but plain canned pumpkin. Nutmeg is poisonous to dogs, so it's important it be plain.

I agree 100% with you. I can tell you I wouldn't have gotten my MBA if my employer hadn't paid for it. With no out of pocket costs on my part it was more a case of it being a waste not taking advantage of the opportunity. I continued to work full time & went to night classes.

I don't know why, but out of all the stories yours makes me particularly sad.

Haha! My fiance's parents have the most overstuffed fridge I have ever seen in my life & it's just his mom & dad at home now. It is full of so many leftovers & old stuff I'm afraid to eat anything from it unless I have personal knowledge that what I'm eating was recently cooked. They tend to keep stuff waaaay past…

No moldy Chobani here, I've recently been obsessing over Noosa. The lemon has lemon curd in it. LEMON CURD!!!!

Lol. My old dog Mayday (1/2 Chihuahua, 1/4 Cocker Spaniel, 1/4 Golden Retriever- he looked just like a gigantic Taco Bell Chihuahua at 17 pounds weight) was so darned smart that I had a progression of words for bath time over the years.

Thanks! I'm torn right now between plunking down the money for real linen or going for cotton again. If I can get my fiance on board I'll go for the linen. It's pricey, but the sheets last for decades & I'm currently only getting 2-3 years out of each set right now. I guess I'm rough on them.

Hear hear! I'm with you. Robe in the bathroom, robe in the bedroom. In my small apartment one is always within short reach. And I agree wholeheartedly, sleeping nekkid is the absolute bestest justification & pleasure of investing in & owning nice, high threadcount sheets.

Do your buttcheeks seriously spread far enough apart when you sit down in bed or roll over that your actual chocolate starfish is in direct contact with your bedsheets? I'm pretty darned sure I couldn't do that no matter how hard I tried. Even with prying my cheeks apart & holding them in place while conducting above…

Ok, you seriously had me in tears w/this post. LOL!

Holy shit! Was my ex-husband cheating on me with you two ladies as well as the tart from HR at his job?! Dude really got around, I had no idea he was that prolific. Ha.

Haha! I can totally relate. I was on it briefly around the time of my wedding. When I took it by itself I was okay. However, I woke up sick with horrible bronchitis the morning of the wedding & had to go to urgent care the day after. They prescribed me several things which included an inhaler, antibiotics, cough…

I'm with you 100%. I had registries at Target, JC Penney, Macy's & WalMart when I got married 8 years ago. I tried to choose stores that most people would have near them so it would be easier to shop. And nothing too expensive. Macy's was mostly just so I could register for china. I had zero expectations of…

My cousin was diagnosed back in 1987 & he was in his late 20's at the time. Treatment wasn't what it is now, and he did get very sick a few times. But it was good enough even back then that he's still going strong today. The doctors back then were giving him 10 years at the most. It's been 24 years & he's a…

It's the Deadspin guys isn't it? C'mon, it's gotta be.

My personal favorite mascara is Shu Uemura Stretch Xtreme Precise Finish waterproof mascara. It's kind of hard to find & a bit pricey at $25, but well worth it in my opinion. I also love Shu Uemura's Precise Volume waterproof mascara & Shiseido's Perfect Mascara Defining Volume.
