Pierce Brosnan in The Foreigner. Which also stars Jackie Chan in one of his very few roles where he’s NOT playing Jackie Chan.

The nutrition information on fake crab never seems to provide any information on whether real crab was used for flavoring. “Probably not” won’t do when someone in the family gets violently sick from ingesting real crab. I hope some day to find some fake crab that’s kosher certified so I’ll know my husband will be in…

Their fridges are made by Whirlpool. We had one.

I’ve lived with cats for most of my life. Some cats will let you turn them upside down like that, but I’d say most will not. They don’t like it, and when someone with about 500 razor sharp claws doesn’t like something, you’re gonna know about it fast.

Warner Brothers used to send out bales of animation cels for people to buy. They came to the university where my husband was working in the 70s and I (a stay at home mom with no car) asked him to please go buy something for us. He refused. “I’ve got too much work to do.” Sometimes I still want to smack him upside de…

If you’ve got kids and you insist on having white furniture.............

Kinda like Bush the First being amazed by a bar code scanner.

Years ago we lived in an apartment building. The guy upstairs worked for the biggest Ford dealership in the area. They let him cruise around in a company car. His idea of parking a car was to roll up to the curb and just throw it in park. He was also a lush and went out and got drunk nearly every night and drove…

Toasted English muffin. With butter. Real butter.

I had my wisdom teeth removed under local anaesthetic when I was 24.

Not one bit of the standard “wedding” stuff is either required or necessary. It pretty much all exists to drain your bank account and wipe you out emotionally with all the frustration.

If there’s a charge for soda water it should appear on the menu. 

That works, but the magnetic mat has the advantage of being infinitely reusable. It even comes with its own dry-erase pen so you can write on the squares what the stuff in them is.

I find this helps with the lost-hardware problem. A lot.

Some places still have those great hardware stores. I recommend Virgil’s Hardware in Glendale CA. Of course that’s not available for everyone, but if you’re in the LA megalopolis it’s well worth the drive.

Some restaurants have an option for both water and carbonated water in their self serve drink dispensers. They are both dispensed via separate levers, not the push buttons for carbonated high fructose corn syrup and chemicals. The carbonated water and the still water are both free.
