I’m incredibly sad that Drop Dead Gorgeous hasn’t been mentioned here yet. And Where the Heart Is. And while the lead characters are drag queens, the setting for To Wong Fu, Thanks For Everything is decidedly blue collar.

My aunt was the same way - build, hair, utterly welcoming to anyone and everyone. She was a moderate cook, but she was one hell of a quilter.

I actually used to want kids. Then I realised that, thanks to PTSD, I can barely handle it when the dogs are barking their heads off and they only do that 1-2 times a month. So, yeah, it’s better for everyone if I maybe avoid kids.

Jesus, one of the trials was hinged on the testimony of a six year old who was told she was responsible if the accused went free and that he would kill her next. By both the DA and the kid’s own grandmother.

What is it with tyrants and tiny hands?

LUSH stores are everywhere in the UK, and I would love to go into them more often... but I find the staff are so aggressively friendly. I get bad enough anxiety when I’m in a town centre to start with, I don’t need staff asking if I need anything when they literally just saw their colleague ask me the same thing 30…

You look at that, and you just know that the nanny or her PA or someone on staff had to build the damn thing. And make the lemonade. And probably then buy it.

Also, Alana is only 11 so her ‘dishing about her boyfriend’ feels kinda creeptastic. No 11 year old has a ‘love life’ worth reporting on.

Holy crap does she look like Rose McGowan in that photo. I had to read three times to be sure it wasn’t Rose.

I don’t want to read too much into things, but a lot of W’s recent comments and such make it feel like he’s aware that he really fucked up? I mean, even at the time it felt like he didn’t really want to be there, and that’s part of why he let the scum around him take the lead. I mean, as soon as he was done, he…

I come from Columbus, OH, where for years it was a guarantee that any home game for the Buckeyes would result in a riot on campus, regardless of the results. Tipped cars, broken windows, and it was always even worse when they actually won. Imagine adding guns into that mix.

I’ve been through the same. Hell, when I was in the process of planning my exit from the relationship, I went along with his advances more than ever. Because at that point, I was so nervous he would find a way to keep me, or hurt me. He had been freezing me out for weeks beforehand, I’d been waiting for the other shoe…

Now I’m not a six year old, I agree that is a terrible name.

My mum went to school with two members of the Tree family. In her class, she had Douglas Fir, and in the year below her was Merry Christmas. The whole damn family was tree-themed.

I once had a temp job that involved manually typing forms into a computer. We had a target of 300-400 every day. I came across so fucking many gloriously terrible names that way.

I was 5 or 6 when Beauty and the Beast came out. After seeing (and thus obsessing over it), I was legit mad at my parents for like 2 days that they didn’t name me Elizabelle instead of Elizabeth, because then I could’ve shortened it to Belle.

One of my favourite touches with her characterisation is that she can be silly. Her reaction to Ezekiel was perfect, just seeing her delighted at the utter madness of this Medieval Times wannabe with his goddamn tiger.

As an abuse survivor, Carol means so much to me. I had a hard time explaining why the episode that was just her and Darryl a couple seasons back hit me so hard, when she talked about how ‘I wasn’t me yet’ when she was with her abusive husband. I got together with my ex when I was real young, I never had much…

I’ve found that it’s a show watched best in chunks. If I watch week to week, I get bored and forget about characters or stop caring. If I watch half of a season or a whole season together, then it becomes much more rewarding and you learn to appreciate the quiet or goofy moments.

I still remember hearing a Kidz Bop version of Follow Me, which is 100% not subtly about a man encouraging an affair. I seem to remember they only changed enough lyrics to make it radio safe.
