Ahhhh, my soul's a bit too sullied for that and I've never cared much for religion. But I see where you're going there. The hope is that I can claw my way out of joblessness (my other cross to bear right now) and maybe just become one of those people who can distract themselves with money, travel, nice things, etc....

Awwww, thanks. I think it wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't also lost my job and had so many close calls getting a new one. I think if I had less stress in general and money to actually live a little, it would be somewhat ok. I would/could be distracted by traveling and going out and hobbies. But all of this is colliding…

See the awfulness I just posted as someone 10 years your senior....

I'm turning 40 and am almost embarassed to celebrate with family and friends because I feel like my status as a single woman will overshadow everything. The concern/silent pity feels palpable even though they will all be putting on a happy face for me. And it's not like I am one of those wedding obsessed girls who…

I CAN'T with these "youtube celebrities." Of course I am an Old and my demographic doesn't count but I am sure there are fellow Olds and maybe seven ome kids who feel the same way....

It's such crap though. Wonderful, amazing crap that no one can turn off once they see that it's on!

But the danger in that show is that out of nowhere suddenly a bbq grill attached to someone's testicles will show up on the scene or there will be in-depth talk of a parasite eating the back wall of someone's eye. There was even an old lady stuck in a toilet on one episode. It's an assault on the senses. And this is…

I've met her and can tell you this statement is truer than true. It's her lack of self awareness which is something to behold that's the real takeaway though.

It's going to be the 'Showgirls' of this generation. It will wind up living in so-bad-it's- great cult infamy.

I don't get it either. He's not bad looking but certainly not jarringly good looking....

True story. My gusband worked at one of the most exclusive hotels in Hollywood where Prince stays all the time....and almost every day His Purple Highness would order a black and white milkshake from room service. Calling it in himself. I've waited sooooo long to share this snippet and now the moment has finally…

We forgot the fake Amish on TLC who decide to run away to the big city! Not to be confused with the fake Amish who run an organized crime ring on Discovery. It really is hard to keep track of all this crap.

You forgot all those wedding dress fittings.....

Don't forget the Wallendas! With special spiritual advisor, Joel Osteen. Oh, Discovery, how far you have fallen.

For me, more puzzling than the kids or none debate was a friend's wedding I went to as a single (even though it's always more ideal to have a warm body and dance partner to hang out with, this was a little awkward but fine since I wasn't in a serious raltionship or even dating anyone and knew other people there, etc.…

Yes, commercial. You've made the distinction - that's exactly what I meant. Whew. I was starting to lose sleep over this exchange. I just knew I was wrong *somehow*....I just didn't know which way. Thanks for your dedication in distilling the nuances. I have actually also flown in small planes with experienced pilots…

That's great for you and for your family. Doesn't sit well with me personally. It still seems logical that someone flying day in and day out has less of a chance of encountering a situation they can't handle (beyond some sort of plane failure that was impossible to detect/predict before take off) than someone who…

I didn't jump on anyone. If piloting planes was as easy and accessible as driving cars, the skies would be overcrowded. It's logical to think that there are generally less fatal air accidents when people who fly every single day of their life are at the helm, versus when a weekender is at the helm. Show of…

I reallllly want a classic chocolate chunk or double chocolate option. I don't need yogurt bits! Or gluten free. Just Girl Scout-ize the classic cookies!

I didn't know that about him. I know accidents can happen to anyone but we hear too often about small planes piloted by enthusiasts versus full time professionals going down. I would venture to say the majority of small plane crashes happen to those who enjoy flying as a hobby. At least, that would seem likely.…
