You know what is much, MUCH worse than having to make an appointment for the Genius bar? Having to MAIL IN your laptop in order to have anything fixed, which is what 99% of other other computer companies require. I love that I can make an appointment and just walk in to the Apple store and have my shit taken care…

It totally is!!!

Me too. And somewhat annoyed at myself for caring? Oh well. Congrats to them!

All of my grandparents were farmers. Exactly one of their 8 combined children went on to also farm. That life ain't easy, yo, and it sure as hell ain't glamorous. I loved going to their farms and eating vegetable fresh from the field/garden. It was nice for a week at a time when you weren't expected to actually…

Does his mother want to pay for the wedding of her dreams? Because otherwise, you do you. If she wants to be a part of her son's life she will show up with a smile. (My friend to her soon to be father-in-law who was complaining about the location of their impending nuptials, "If you'd like to pay for the wedding…

Sweet Home Alabama is starting on Oxygen, which is one of my top-10 "I've seen it a zillion times but if it's on tv I can't not watch it" movies. I *should* but doing dishes and cleaning up after the brunch I hosted today but instead I'm reading Jezebel and debating the merits of browsing cookbooks and menu planning…

Read cookbooks. Make something new.

Best. Gif. EVAH!

I think it depends on where you are in the country, at least in my experience. I'm a white European mutt who grew up in Texas. In Texas I was never asked, "so, where are you from?" or "what are you?" because, duh, I was Texan. And white. And most white people in Texas have been in the U.S. for a long time and…

To the tune of "Oh My Darlin' Clementine":

I MUST NOW MAKE IT MY MISSION.

True story: he lives like two blocks from my apartment and yet I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN HIM!! And supposedly works out at my gym (though idk if that's actually true). Multiple times when sitting down for a drink with a friend in my 'hood they've been like "oh yeah, so I saw Matt Damon as I was on my way here to meet…

I love me some good fizzy water. It has replaced my diet soda fiz, except for the occasional random craving where nothing but fake sugar will do.

Yummmmm. I rarely drink diet (or any) soda, but if/when I do, Diet Dr Pepper is WHERE IT'S AT. NOM.

Lucky! I tried to do the "small smile no teeth" thing for my passport pic and the woman made me retake it. Apparently I didn't look murderous enough.

ME TOO!!! I was just coming to say the exact same thing. My passport photo totally looks like a mug shot. I hate it. (I think it would be a terrible pic anyway, bc it was just one of those days, but it's truly atrocious. And I don't usually complain about ID pics. My driver's license is just fine, but it was also…

What did you say? Also: strong work and praise the lawd, lol.

OMG. Wow. That is both fantastic and horrible.

OMG. OMG. O.M.G. Her outfits! And this post on the evils of the bikini is KILLING ME!!!! http://www.themodestmomblog.com/2013/07/the-no…

Indeed!! You need PATIENCE!! (Pray about it, Adjust his diet, Turn in early, Initiate often, Exercise good hygiene, Never belittle him, Consult a physician, Express non-sexual affection). In other words, this is also your fault and you should be the one to fix it!
