Growing up, my mother would go on these cleaning tears, and it was terrifying. She threw away a TON of records because I hadn’t listened to them in a little while. So many great Disney records (the LP 33's not just the little 45's that dinged when you turned the page). Clothes, books, toys...nothing was sacred. …

We need an AMA with Matt Paxton.

Banana bread is the BEST use of overripe bananas. I concur!

So I carry a lunch bag still (and I’m 44) and I carry a banana for breakfast. However, IF I don’t eat first thing in the morning and I have Ritz crackers in my bag (as I am wont to do), those crackers will taste like banana. It’s awful. I like bananas (they are best when they are still a bit green) but overly ripe…

That cat mocks you. Openly.

+1 for Paperboy.

I’ve been to a place where they make Parmesan cheese and prosciutto in Italy. A dog in my kitchen is nothing. ;)

That’s Chimay. And when you trip on her and burn yourself and look at her, she looks so sad. “Why did you step on me? What did I do to you? Why do you hate me?” I don’t even have the heart to tell her to get out.

I don’t know. They are pretty strict about using the appropriate tees and someone watching out to confirm. The whole thing is just weird to me.

Had two of those.

My sister’s dog is a freak when people step over her. My dog just lays there and eyeballs you. “I dare you to step on me.”

+1 large opossum that I call Bitey.

This sounds fishy to me. I used to work for a group that would sponsor hole-in-ones at various tourneys. When you call up to buy the coverage, you had to tell them the golf course and the hole. I would have already called the course and confirmed the hole lengths (from ladies’ and the men’s tees). The insurance…

I used to set these up and we absolutely had to confirm that the hole was long enough. We also had to have someone on the big prize hole to watch and validate. If we chose a hole that wasn’t long enough, it was our own problem. I remember making tons of calls to the golf courses for measurements and hole…

Can we add a counter-height dog who may or may not lick ingredients within her reach? Also, she gets to lay right in the GD middle of the kitchen floor while you are cooking.

I’m hoping for locusts.

This is Morongo than the Florida State mascot, and they really ought to Pechanga that poster.

Last night I told my husband that Phyllis Schlafly was dead, and his response was, “Good.”

We sit in front of a box at the Rose Bowl and there is some asshole back there that pours himself drinks, hollers at people and makes an ass of himself the entire game, he does not stop this behavior for the national anthem. In fact, I notice that quite a few people around me can’t even be bothered to put their drinks…

I went to a Baptist K-8 and had to pledge allegiance to the American flag, the Christian flag and the Bible. That was some high level creepiness there. I still know those damn pledges by heart even though I am an atheist now.
