My niece and I noticed an overwhelming proportion of Jessicas on "Snapped" during a marathon viewing one weekend. It has been our slang for homicidal woman ever since. Also, they are almost always involved with a bad seed named Trey.

The knot-tied-dishrag is my kittens' favorite toy too! They go batshit bananas every time. Another diy-pre-recycling toy idea is, when you get to the unusable end of the toilet roll, pull the last couple of sheets through the tube. Toss on floor. Watch pets go nuts. Recycle when toy is completely torn apart.

Yeah, I'm wondering if this is just a cover for an escort service. Which is fine if all are consenting (not trafficked) adults.

My father was an evil person and his father before him was even worse. I cringe whenever I hear my own last name. I thought of changing it to my mother's maiden name, which is a cool name btw, but that would have just been kicking the can down the road.

Yes, but I actually stole it from the web comic XKCD.

You've misplaced the hyphen:

...You're a grown ass-man, make a grown ass-man face...

Rene Denfield wrote a book called Kill the Body, the Head Will Fall about women and aggression and violence. She argues that since women are not taught how to be physically aggressive or how to fight, that when they do get into a physical confrontation such as another woman or a child that they are actually a lot…

I have never in my life even entered a Wet Seal store, but I think I'm going to go buy a t-shirt or something from them this weekend. Good job, Wet Seal PR people (I mean that most sincerely.)

I'm guessing that they had discussed marriage somewhere along the line, like many couples do before actually getting married or even engaged.

You should never have to say that. A martini is made with gin. I'm not quite sure what that other drink made from vodka and served in an upside-down cone-shaped glass is called.

Scotch has actually read all of those hardcover books on the shelf and may have even written a couple.

Lambic is that guy who really really tries hard to make everybody like him and is often disappointed because nobody remembers his name.

This is why I don't sleep with married men. I'm a middle-aged lady and many (many!) of my friends have hooked up or gotten into ongoing relationships with married men at some point. I have no pair-bonding instinct, and marriage for myself has never been on my to-do list, but if a person has gone out of their way to…

Ugh? Really? This is just horrible and wrong! *Scaly* beast? No! All evidence points to dinosaurs having been covered in feathers.

I think I'm the same way. I hate when people apologize for being upset about something because they perceive my condition to be worse. No, you know what, when your expectations and hopes are undermined or thwarted it is upsetting, and that can be everything from getting fired from a job you loved to getting decaf…

My boss literally walked by my office and asked in a very concerned voice if everything is OK because yes, laugh-crying. Cakewrecks has the same effect.

OK, this post is over a year old but I'll play:

In 1973, the draft ended and the U.S. converted to an All-Volunteer military.

TheWireMonkey, here, there and everywhere. I mostly lurk on Ravelry though.

When my brother married his wife she had a 2 year old. She would say things like, "he's babysitting while I'm working" and he would have to correct her because he said you can't "babysit" your own kids (he was all in as stepdad from day one); Rather, he was taking care of my niece while her mom worked. Same for…

Swatch, the Boston Terrier at Mood (of Project Runway fame) patrols the floor on weekdays. Not sure if he's there on weekends because it gets pretty overrun by tourists which might be dangerous for him. He's really gracious about having his picture taken. A lot of the fabric stores in the garment district have…
