Kittens for you — Audrey and her idiot brother, Fabio. I had to put down my 20-year old many years ago, and I still get choked up thinking about her. Such is life!

Lisa: What a whimsical building. Who says science can't be fun?Bart: Me. I smell a museum.Homer: Yeah, good things don't end with -eum, they end with -mania, or –teria. Will there be beer?

I know people are going to hate this episode. It was very staged and mostly pretty badly done. But the bit where James May was imitating a particular puppet made me laugh so hard I wet 'em. Also his exasperation with the Peugeot driver. Really, from that point to the end I can't remember when I've laughed so hard at…

I'm an olde so, you know, off my lawn etc. However, I have to say, as an olde, I'm content knowing I'll die thirty years before these brain trusts. It's a fair trade for not having had to spend my 20's, 30' and 40's in a culture where this seems like a good idea to ANYONE.

I pull eyebrow hairs, and am terrified to move on to other hair in case I end up finding that more satisfying. So far they grow back, but probably not forever. I'd rather use more positive stress-coping mechanisms, but at least this one's cheap and won't kill me. I'm pretty much at peace with it.

That's another thing! Detangling was a huge issue for me, now — nothing. I guess it doesn't work for everyone, but I'm just annoyed I never tried it before!.

I'll try it! Thanks.

Interesting — my experience with water is the same. Doing nothing, it's still way better on day five than it used to be on day two using shampoo/conditioner. That's the reason I decided to try this, I never found product that didn't leave me with greasy gross hair inside 36 hours. Whenever I'd hear someone say — your…

Me too, and they were born in 1918 and 1920 respectively, so plenty long ago. I'm not actually sure what my dad's beliefs were, but he certainly NEVER expressed any religious feeling whatsoever, and my mom (still kicking at 94) was a full-on non-believer. But, they made all of us kids get some exposure to multiple…

Anyone else no-poo? I made the switch mid-December and my hair is fantastic, plus my skin appears to have cleared up! (Confounding factor, I also moved around the same time — maybe a change in the water? That last house was a shithole.) I'm doing the baking soda/vinegar thing about every five days, but I'm still…

So sick of this fetishization of "choice" over making a good one. And not just regards vaccination, i.e., I can throw my recyclables into a landfill because CHOICE. I can take my groceries home in 17 plastic bags, one bag per item, instead of in a reusable bag because CHOICE. I have never put anything in the bed of…

I had to fly from Seattle to San Francisco for work, and scored a last-minute cheap upgrade from Alaska Airlines back when that used to be a thing. After I'd boarded some dude came by and said I was in his seat. I assumed Alaska had made a mistake. I haaaaaaaaate flying, so getting that seat was major. I determined…

That dance move at :42 was awesome.

The Ringside if you're meat eaters. Or even if not, those onion rings!

No sex talk, I think my parents left it to the schools. However, as the youngest of seven and with several older siblings who had "shotgun weddings"/terrible marriages, they (well, my mom at least) were firmly on the birth control train, leading to this scene.

A very old acquaintance of my mother's — born in the late 1800's and who lived well into her nineties — ate Dr. Scholl's Foot Balm daily, as a sort of laxative. My mom still has the correspondence this lady got back from them, after she wrote complimenting their product. It was basically: JESUS GOD WOMAN DON'T EAT IT

When I moved from Washington State to San Diego I hired my out of work nephew to drive a huge rental truck — the biggest you could rent without the endorsement. He was, um, not an experienced truck driver. He wasn't a kid though — he was probably in his forties at that time. (My family is weird.) We had to drive over…

I have two comforters and a heavy bedspread on top of the mattress, underneath the bottom sheet. This protects it from sharp claws (kittens especially have very sharp little claws), and also provides enough insulation that I almost never turn the heater on. But even if there's a puncture, you just patch it like you'd…
