I’m in the same boat. My mom went a little Lladro crazy when we lived in Spain. I’ll maybe keep one for sentimental reasons, but I’m hoping that I’ll get a decent amount of cash for the rest. I plan to use her collection Hallmark commemorative Christmas plates as frisbees.

I’m neither a fan of Fall Out Boy or guyliner, yet I have consistently found Pete Wentz to be freakin’ adorable.

HA! My brother’s ghost would probably keep booting up the Tomb Raider games every time the hauntee left the room for 30 seconds to pee or get a drink. Dick. When my parents sell, they should probably market to someone who likes boobs and gaming.

My parents never moved after my brother’s suicide, so this doesn’t seem creepy at all to me. Your apartment isn’t a scene of horror so much as a place where the tenant succumbed to an illness.

8th here. It was a GREAT weekend to have a birthday.

Thanks! I’m going to try this tomorrow morning. I’m not a fan of super sweet hot chocolate either.

I vacillated between concerned and horrified at first, but now I’m intrigued and excited after giving this some thought. So you just make peppermint tea, and make hot chocolate, then combine them? And it doesn’t taste like a watered down Andes mint? Do you use bittersweet or semisweet chocolate? I have some amazing…

1940's house was the best and I will fight you on this.

I’m still angry about the maid being fired on 1900 House. The woman who hired her originally became uncomfortable with how hiring a maid did not fit with her modern opinions on emancipation and such. If it had really been the 1900's the maid would have no way to feed herself or her family. Participants in this show…

Yes, exactly. During college, I was a nanny for an adorable little boy with down syndrome. At 8 years old, he was developmentally comparable to a one year old. Still in diapers, completely nonverbal, and could not be left unattended for any period of time. All of this wasn’t likely to change much as he got older. He…

Goddamed Brangelina!

This exact phrase needs to be a widespread PSA.

My mom volunteers to teach Crisis Intervention Training to cops. (Yes, the only way this happens in her area is through volunteers.) Basically, it’s a seminar on how to deal with people who have mental illness. My mom says the cops are very receptive, but she leaves the seminar feeling like she just scratched the…

Exactly. Also it would send the message that just because Kim K isn’t shy about showing off her body, that doesn’t mean her body is a free-for-all.

There’s a sufficient amount of water I’m sloshing around in.

I squish em around a bit on the rubber shower mat while showering. That should be sufficient.

I think if that plate had warm, soapy, dishwater running on it for about ten minutes, I’d be okay with eating off of it.

The first time I watched this episode, I was on one of those smaller regional planes. I was doubled over with laughter while hyperventilating and tears were running down my face. Those around me must have thought I was having some kind of mid-air breakdown, and a flight attendant checked if I was okay.

He’s just precious.

I don’t get the Jaden hate. Sure, he’s got an eye roll worthy twitter, but so does pretty much every other teenager. But I’ve never heard reports of him being shitty or bratty.
