He's very, very pretty, but he's young enough that even typing that makes me feel a little squeamish. Hiddleston and Cumberbatch are a little more my age range.

I watched the Shining when I was five. My parents took me to the drive in. I suspect that I was supposed to go to sleep, but I did not. I watched it again in college. Still he scariest movie I've ever seen.

So, your 10 year old, my 10 year old and his friends, and Beth's 9 year old...so is it an age thing? Does this mean these things you posted (or their two years from now equivalents) are what I have to look forward to in a couple of years? Please the gods, no? Please? I don't mind minecraft...

This is funny. It's like there are two separate you tubes. My kid and my friends' kids obsess over teen/college age youtubers, but not these ones. It's all about minecraft. I know, because my kid never stops talking about it, and I listen some, sometimes, waaaayyyy too much about Diamond Minecart, Sky Does Minecraft…

The "Little" is officially part of the name on mine. Like, corrected by the parents of you forget it official. O.o

Omg. Lol! I have a friend who named her two kids after herself—one got the first name, and the other got her middle name. It's really weird, and the boy has suddenly decided on another, too tally unrelated and utterly common name he insists on being called.
Also, I find Chrisarah amusing, because my older siblings were…

Yeah, eye-oh. I think Io is a god, but I'm not sure where the "Little" part came from.

Well, it wasn't this year, but I know a Little Io.

As a parent of a boy Quinn, I sure do hate seeing this feminization trend. It makes me feel un-feminist, but there it is.

I've met a woman named Kitten. shrug

I agree that it was clear that Kristoff was a better match, and she had more time to get to know him better, and wish they hadn't made Hans a bad guy. They could have made it really nice—he's a really decent fellow, and their good friendship opens up a great new trade agreement or something. :)

My nearly 10 year old boy and I liked it. We were gobsmacked by the weasely Hans, but he'd been saying he thought the other guy was a better fit all along anyway. He totally took it in stride that Anna saved Elsa, and couldn't understand what the big deal was that she saved herself at all. He fully expects women to…

I think the most significant aspect of this movie, and one I haven't seen mentioned, or only obliquely, is that the act of love came from herself. Nobody saved HER, SHE saved someone else. They said an act of love, but the presumption was, based on all the previous movies, that someone would have to love her enough to…

And ironically, it isn't even a religious taboo. Many religions include polygamy, including Chrisitanity! It's just a modern taboo, with no basis in reason whatsoever.

It's not at all impossible to avoid. Don't watch tv. I started to say I couldn't remember the last jewelry ad I saw, but I do. It was on a hotel tv. :P We do have a tv, but we use Roku instead of cable or satellite, which comes with much less advertising.

Ok, I live in a pretty liberal college town in the otherwise conservative Midwest. I belong to a secular homeschool group populated by a fairly high percentage of atheists. So I live in a pretty unusual situation, I guess, but stay home dads are not uncommon, and they are welcome at our events. Even the families who…

I don't like hazelnut. :P but I do mix chocolate syrup with sunflower seed butter. That's tasty!

My son is allergic to eggs and turkey, and I can't have dairy, and we're both gluten free, so out thanksgiving is a little different than normal. This year, we just had a couple if friends over, who both happen to be mostly vegan, so combined with our allergies/intolerances, I just went for a vegan meal.
We had…

Well, it does depend on where in America. I've heard northerners are more like Canadians in this respect, and some friends who are recent implants from Iowa are shoe removers, for a bit of anecdata. :)

I buy men's fleece pajama pants. I'm tall for a girl, and they're the only ones long enough, and they usually have enough room to allow me to wear long underwear under them, and still feel lounge-y. Plus, you can usually find some stupid cartoon character or whatever that makes them fun. I'm wearing Grinch ones…
