Yes, this is my dachshund/cattle dog mix as well. Including the second where you can see the pure joy suffusing his brain switch over to “uh oh, Mom’s going to be mad!” and he’s tired and his elbows hurt and wants to stop but is afraid to. (Whereas in reality, by the time I catch him, I’m always just so relieved that…

That’s because Green Day are amazing. I will seriously cry buckets on the day I hear they break up. Other artists that are on mainstream pop stations and thus get scorn from people who think they’re above popular music but actually deserve every kudo for their talent ever: Eminem. Coldplay. My Chemical Romance (though…

And if you’re still in the “planning to get” stage but are worried about senstive neighbors, adopt an older dog. (YMMV per individual dog, of course - my beagle mix never, ever could have been considered quiet in any way, shape, or form, at any age.)

Apparently I need more sleep. At first glance, I misread the headline as “Recycle Plastic Plants at Lowe’s or Your Local Garden Center”. Then I blinked, and read it again, and got “Recycle Plastic Pot at Lowe’s or Your Local Garden Center”.

Well, I think I’ll save this link and read it in a couple of weeks! Since I’m pretty sure I did everything completely wrong. *sob*

Well, we all have our flaws! (Besides, I’m really a rare-sports fan. Baseball is just the only one of the big four that I enjoy having on in the background. I’ll put curling on instead in a hot minute.)

Plus, some of us chicks are the sports fans. It’s been several years since I bothered with football, and I never cared much for basketball or hockey, but I’ll watch almost anything else that’s on. I am so. thrilled. to be back in Mets-on-TV country, and my ex-husband learned to rue the day he introduced me to F1. Come…

You’re literally the first person I’ve seen to have said that, so I looked it up too. You’re right, it’s not technically a juvenile detention facility. From the description, though, it sounds like it’s part of a larger complex that does contain juvenile detention facilities, and functions a lot like one only without…

There is a vast difference, however, between foster care and juvenial detention. That’s where the outrage is mostly coming from. Sending the kids to foster care? Shitty, but a legitimate option when they’re being emotionally abused. Sending the kids to juvie, whether or not as punishment, is a fucked up thing to do.

That was already enshrined into law a century or two ago.

Well, I’ve had a girl crush on Helen Mirren for forever now.

It’s your turn, Heather. No, Heather, it’s Heather’s turn. Sorry, Heather.

I’m going to go against the flow and say that while there might be individual jokes that wouldn’t fly and a lot of caution going in and a few loud critics who don’t get it, in the main Blazing Saddles could still be made today, and would still be considered a comedy classic.

I’m sure it’s far, far worse if you’re black, but as a white person you’re not guaranteed any real friendliness either. I just moved back north after living in Columbia for 5 years. Even though I’m not the most social person in the world, the first six months there were almost unbearably lonely. People there are…

Have some empathy for Chun-Li! Big breasts bouncing around unrestrained during vigorous exercise are incredibly painful.

I question how often even a regular and prolific baker or chef uses specialized cookware at home. I do own a ton of stuff, way more than I need, including an unnecessary number of single use cooking appliances, but not a bundt pan, and can count on less than one hand the number of times I’ve missed it. (Yes, I meant…

If anything has fucked up his chances at the presidency, it’s this one promise. Pot has wide bi-partisan support. I know/am related to way more staunch Republican stoners than Democrat.

Actually, that means “check all of your electrical sockets”. At my previous house, I suddenly started smelling the very faintest traces of smoke throughout the house for no reason, but it went away after a couple of weeks. A few days later, I went to do my laundry and the washer wouldn’t turn on. I found that the…

Appropriate name is appropriate.

America doesn’t give a shit about FIFA, either.
