I love it when the old folk happily spout their views, no matter how ridiculous/racist/unfounded they may be. And the kicker is that they operate under the assumption that everybody obviously agrees with him, otherwise they wouldn't spew their thoughts like a geyser all the time.

It's beautiful and really sets off her eyes. Fabulous, A+.

I adore sweeter Rieslings. Woo!

Yep, I found out later that I was madly allergic to about 90% of clothes detergents on the market. Luckily, I grew out of it to some extent and can now use some choice scented fabric softeners, like Downy, but I still have to use hypoallergenic soap for anything that will touch my skin.

I went through that phase until I was...14 or 15? But I just had super sensitive skin and anything other than very soft materials or denim fabric softened within an inch of its life made me itch and break out in hives. I feel for your little man. I lived in fleece, t-shirts, and wind pants. But not sweat pants,…

Welcome, Mark. I think we're all going to get along juuust fine.

I think a lot of it does come down to the Diana factor, but it's pretty common knowledge now that she habitually...retold events in such a way that she was the victim. Not saying that marrying into the Royals is a cakewalk or that the Queen was a loving mother-in-law, but Diana rather exploited the situation to garner…

I believe she lives in NYC.

My spayed female mini-dachshund has a particular blanket that she likes to hump to oblivion. This is her favorite pre-bedtime activity. If the blanket isn't on the bed, she'll drag it up there and give that blanket what-for until she falls into a post-coital coma.

I want to stroke his beard lovingly. Maybe condition it a little.

This shit is one of the things I dread most about becoming pregnant. Can't eat this, can't do that, can't even THINK about that thing.

I love you.

I feel like the love story really makes sense in the context of the plot and its development. But that's just me. Tris is definitely not like, "OMG! I so, like, weak! Please help me, musclebound brooding hunk!" If anything, she's the character that generally takes control and kicks ass. He supports her, but their…

Unf.

My mom was school age during desegregation (we live in southwest Virginia). And we're talking multiple levels of segregation - at that time, our tiny town had (and I quote) a poor black school, a poor white school, and a Catholic school for the rich white kids.

This season is KILLING ME. Julia and Joel are my favorite couple and I just can't handle it. I can understand the attraction to Ed because, hell, I'd probably hit that but DAMN IT, JULIA. Joel's trying to fix it and you just fuck it all up. Just stop.
