I didn’t speak to her much after that.

My late husband wasn’t vegetarian. I got asked if I cooked for him and told the person that I cooked vegetarian meals. I told her that if he wanted meat he bought and cooked it himself. No big. She then said that I was a bad wife for not cooking him dead animals.:/

I’ve been a vegetarian for almost 20 years and most of the cooking I do for myself is vegan. I don’t bother anyone about what they eat and bloody well hate self righteous vegans. The normal vegans keep it to themselves. The annoying ones go online and yammer about bananas.

Same here in Colorado. The recently immigrated population celebrates it like mad.

Bunch of northerners. They all disliked each other immensely but agreed that my grandfather shouldn't be raising those kids.

My grandfather was a town cop! How bold do you have to be to pull this crap when the entire police force knows the kids? They were warned to run home as fast as they could if any of their aunts or uncles approached them on the street. Fences were mended when they were older but it was nonsense when they were young.

Bless you. That’s way too young and I hope you’re able to stay strong and hold onto the love you had. We lost my mom when she was 44 and 25 years later I still have an occasional long, ugly cry about it. My condolences.

My grandfather was left with three children under the age of six when my grandmother died of cancer. His in-laws (approximately ten aunts and uncles) spent years trying to kidnap the children from him. He had to send them to school in a taxi and it picked them up afterwards so that the roaming family wouldn’t attempt…

Tammany, tammany, big chief sits in tepee... Anyone else read A Tree Grows In Brooklyn? I remember the election scene with the kids hollering along.

Ruby Keeler is first, Taxi a very close second. (Don't know how to embed video.)

It took my hair a while to adjust to conditioner washing. It seemed kind of limp/lank for a while and then it perked up. I have to use a lighter conditioner for it, like a cheap VO5. I can go exactly two weeks between actual shampoos this way. (I can only do this in the winter though. In the summer my hair refuses to…

This thread has me laughing so hard I'm crying. Eastern Europe is a strange place indeed.

I remember my mom switching between Diet Rite and Tab. I recall Diet Rite tasting less swill-like. Someone explain Moxie to me. It tastes like carbonated kerosene.

I live in the Rockies and love it here. But the Keweenaw Peninsula is still the most beautiful place in the world.

The Jehovas I knew (grew up with a JW best friend) drank like fish and beat their families. I have no love for them. Seemed like such a joyless cult.

The UP is the most beautiful place in the world. In the summer and fall.

Prince and Vanity in the same year. Someone please check on Morris Day.

I just texted my best friend and told her my teenaged self had just died. We listened to Purple Rain in my bedroom over and over. This really hurts. RIP.

Little George is adorable (just like his dad was) and that cake sounds amazing.

That Manivet is kind of Edwardian interesting. But I can't see anyone actually wearing it. Most of these dresses leave me sad.
