Toyotas FTW! They run forever... so I’ve (we’ve all) been told. So far so good - my Dad gave me a Toyota Avalon when I got divorced and I’ll keep that no-payment baby until the monthly maintenance exceeds a payment!

This might be my favored “Filed To:” EVER.

Thank you Kara and loyal citizens of Kinja for bringing this much-needed return of the the vaunted, beloved Shade Court to us when we needed it oh-so-intensely!

You have fahbulous taste in vacay partners. I have a tendency to make over-the-top gourmet snax buffet for friends, no matter the hour, when we’ve been smokin’; may I please join the vacay?

This is my ABSOLUTE favorite! It’s so embarrassing when it creeps into my head and gets stuck there — like, how do I explain this song being stuck in my head and occasionally laughing hysterically at (seemingly) nothing?! I love both of the Shy Ronnie digital shorts with her.

“Dear God, what IS that thing."

Agree. It’s of her own doing, too. He’s got deeply personal reasons for his opinions of Hillary - the real motivator for him; he’s not so much pro-Trump as anti-Hillary. We all try to respect that his real opinions and his vote may not match up due to this one issue... except my Mom, who’s decided his reason, which he…

That’s a very close approximation of the end of our conversation, yes.

That’s sort of the personification of what I think I hate most about his candidacy: it’s inspired people who were (I thought) better than this to feel free to express their basest, worst opinions. I would have been happy to see many of them hide that part of themselves away forever.
It sucks to hear that kind of thing…

Should clarify that my Mom, who was always a Dem when I was growing up, has recently stated her support for Trump because that’s who my brother-in-law supports. That’s the entirety of her reasoning. :(
Your Mom seems great and I’m glad to hear about her!

Big fan of your Mom right now.

Absolutely correct! My older cat, Rocker, just gets a little grumpy if his evening wet food is forgotten, but his tiny doppelganger climbs curtains, people, and seemingly flat walls when wet food is not presented early enough in the evening for his liking. The little tuxie, MooFooey, he would DEFINITELY…

You’re not having a stroke, but I felt the same way at first!
She needs punctuation - or a proofreader. The “truth is, [the] last thing we need right now is more hate - in any form.”

I want to believe, too! Bobby, Bobby, did you apply to go to Mars?! Are you friends with Elon Musk?! Did you build a backyard rocket?! OMG ARE YOU THE DOCTOR?!!!

“The cross fitters of the military world”!! 😂 I snortled so hard; thank you!

Some guys from the unit jokingly refer to SEALS as the vegans of SOCOM. One of the first things they’ll tell you! (I’m vegan, so they think they’re extra hilarious here.)

Pretty sure Josh is eating with CAG guys; SEALS wouldn’t miss a chance to be in the photo. ;) (Ah, interservice competitiveness.)

Rant deleted and replaced with this:

Welp, everything about this Dirt Bag made me want to puke except the Zayn Malik thing I don’t really care about. :( Also a good friend who was invited to the Warrior Games ended up finding it upsetting instead and work is a mess so BLERGH, where is my happy trashy dirtbag now?! (Not your fault, Rachel; just venting,…

I’m with you on that! My big takeaways were:
1) I guess dancing in a cube is a real trend? (I’m old and this is super dumb.)
2) I didn’t think anyone could pull off the onesie but Rihanna definitely can.
3) Again, I’m old and I hate how boring DJs and EDM have become.
Please enjoy literally anything my forever fave spins:
