I went to school with someone whose last name was Rose. I’m gonna say it counts because she was aggressive and scary. Her mother was a full-on Margaret White, though.

My in-laws are starting to do this with our kids. Their two sons are their family are getting great gifts. Meanwhile, we live 13 hours away. Both of his brothers remembered my older son’s birthday this year and sent gifts. A month later was my youngest son’s birthday. They sent him nothing. Try explaining that to a…

That’s a fantastic idea! Thank you.

Oh, so you know Kim? You described her perfectly.

My husband got a GC to Applebee’s last night as a thank you gift. We hate that place.

My ex-SIL always got me clothes. We were the same approximate size and age. I’m not showy with my clothes at all. I wear mostly black. Before I got ill, in my thirties, I used to model. I’m not completely tragic. One year she gave me an acid-lime velour turtleneck with a hideous, fake fur vest (like Captain Caveman…

I’m sorry. That sucks.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweet Corgi.

Michaele is now married to Journey guitarist Neal Schon (his fifth marriage.)

Honey mustard, just like all good god fearing people do.

Where I’m from, it’s expected the winner of one of the silly games to give her gift to the bride. In fact, most hostesses buy two identical gifts so each gets one. 

Sounds like you were in A Charlie Brown Christmas-land.

I think it all comes down to the fact that Rose looks old enough to be Jack’s Junior High English teacher. They’re a pair that do absolutely nothing for me romance-wise.

I remember how much he hated Tipper for trying to get parental advisories on music.

Before she passed, my grandma always said she would send the scent of roses so we’d know she was okay. My mom and I, in completely different states, have often smelled them out of nowhere.

Our house came with a “ghost cat.” It’s small and grey. My son and I see it often. My mom was visiting and saw it, too. I have very spoiled kitties. Sometimes, I wonder if it just wants to be around my other cats.
