Eh. He’s cute, but if it were this guy:

Maybe they were just canoe-dling.

Happy birthday! Mine’s today. I’m having a BBQ cause I can’t cook and I have friends who can. I buy all the booze so it evens out in the end.

I did not know that an all-potato-salad party was my secret desire until I read this.

The only time I’ve ever been unhappy about being invited to a potluck was when I was too broke to feed myself! I think as long as you don’t ask people to provide something expensive (unless you’re positive they can swing it, I guess) you’re good. Happy (early) Birthday!

I love potluck parties - happy birthday!

Oh no! You must cancel because a cranky writer in the Internet says they are bad. But I say potlucks are great. And why not put some stress off the host? You are a busy person, no doubt, and it is your birthday. Friends should lend a hand.

Exactly. Pyrex and Fiestaware are the bomb. Screw plastic.

I think other states also do the same thing but perhaps it’s not well know. Like in Colorado where I grew up around Denver: you could bet your ass that a bunch of athletes would come from the Cherry Creek area or from Jefferson County because that’s where the money was.

I love all you stupid bitches.

If you’re a stupid bitch, that makes me a miserable cunt.

I once completely made up a book for a book report about people who survived the Holocaust. The teacher was so interested in the stories that she asked me for a few more so I made some up on the spot in front of the class.

I’ve been a stupid bitch my whole life.

I remain 100% against the death penalty.

Everyone grieves differently and certainly, if someone DOESN’T react the way these people did, it’s perfectly fine and normal. But it seems unnecessary to sneer at them. Like...hm, should I let people deal with death (and escaping death) in a way that works for them even if it doesn’t make sense to me, or should I…

Wait, what? Any organ from her dead father is quite literally a “piece” of her “Dead Daddy”. The hardest of hard functionalists would agree.

Yeeeah. Her father died. Another person’s father ALMOST died, but didn’t, thanks to her father’s heart and decision to be an organ donor. As a daughter who DID lose her father, she can probably empathize with how grateful this man’s daughter was to not lose her own father, and easily feels connected to that family and…

Jeebus, can’t you just enjoy the fact that these people didn’t find it awkward and the daughter was happy and the dude was happy?

idk if it counts as “beauty”, but I made two new dresses this month and I think I look pretty good so I’m posting them.

I signed up for Sling for the games. There’s still interruptions for crap lifestyle bullshit but they have coverage of random stuff. We are watching archery live. Going to watch soccer and rugby with my daughter later.
