This cannot be emphasized enough. My state’s number of cases is growing by leaps and bounds, and yet still people were out partying for St. Patrick’s Day this weekend. To quote several people who were interviewed on the news, “I’m young and healthy, so I don’t need to worry.” Absolutely no concern for anyone else’s…

That is EXACTLY the sort of relationship I want with my neighbors.

My husband and I once made the mistake of getting friendly with the couple who moved into the apartment next door to us. At first it was nice and casual, then over time they started showing up at our apartment every night after work, wanting to hang out. We’re both introverts who really need the time to decompress…

Any post featuring Nick Drake’s music deserves a star. 

Pretty sure they used that line in the trailer specifically because the delivery was so awesome. 

“Friend? Some ‘a your foldin’ money’s come unstowed.” I never get a chance to use it but I love it.

Preach. Trent Reznor is second only to David Bowie in my house of worship.

I’m a young Gen Xer (born in early 80), and agree with you on a lot of this. My co-workers are primarily Gen Y, and I’m astounded by their lack of independence, and even more so by the fact that they seem to have no desire for any. One millennial I know didn’t even learn to drive a car until she was 26 (and we live in…

I couldn’t agree more. Owen Teague’s performance was so nuanced and brilliant. The look on his face when Eve and Amanda kissed in the final episode was a perfect mix of surprise and desire.

Goddamn, this girl is amazing. As my mom used to say when their friends heard 11-year old me blasting Zeppelin from my room, “We raised her right.”

My husband had these for a while-he ended up finding out by accident that he had EXTREMELY high blood pressure (240/160 was his reading at the doctor’s office-and they took it 5 times to verify that number was accurate). His BP went down as soon as they got him on medication, and the headaches disappeared. His doctor…

You have no idea how much I wish more people were considerate enough to do this.

I work in local government, and this is now my new favorite acronym.

I thought my husband and I were the only ones!

Every now and then “Ladies Night” pops into my head spontaneously, complete with the “Chaka Khan!” at the end. 

Good on you. More kids these days need to watch those disturbing children’s films-they’ll get much more out of them than the silly crap they pander to kids today. 

I saw all of these so-called “scary” movies at a very young age (Dark Crystal, Watership Down, Neverending Story), and loved them to pieces. I found them fascinating, not really scary at all. And to be honest, I can’t think of any other kid that I knew in the 80's who was genuinely upset by these films (perhaps when…

Ugh, I cannot STAND open mouth eaters! For me it’s the one of the worst examples of bad manners that you can perform. ESPECIALLY when they’re loud about it. 

High five, fellow Breyer horse collector! Sears always had exclusive models too!

Same here. Don’t know what it is about that scene, but it gives me the shivers every time.
