I don’t wear them but I suppose I’d find them useful in the tasks where I’m always surreptitiously wiping my hands on my pants. I mean I’m usually wearing grimy jeans for that sort of stuff, but I suppose the theory is it’ll make those grimy jeans last longer in days when clothing was more expensive?

I dunno, like the Waikiki mermaids? Isn’t that just a professional entertainer along the lines of a clown? Not to say I’d ever necessarily go on a date with a clown or a mermaid.

I’d say try it. I was pretty leery of the series but bored one day opened the first and couldn’t put it down. I think the portrayal of children growing up and trying to grow out of poverty, the different way it affects them is pretty nuanced, spot-on. Pretty realistic, 3-D characterizations.

Diff’rent strokes I suppose. I remember my mom constantly kicking us out of the kitchen to get us out of her hair. And while I love it when my house fills up with the smells of my cooking, I don’t want to smell lingering beef stew or lamb curry an hour later. Somehow the lingering smells lose all the appeal of the…

Whenever I watch that show and they are demanding tricked out kitchens and then say the dreaded words “open-concept” I know they have no intention of ever cooking in those spaces.Who wants kitchen smells lingering in their living room for hours? Or who wants to spend a lovely nice evening cooking only to have the tv…

Exactly. MetaDramz.

Thats a real bummer to hear, but it sounds just about right. I mean really, how much can you stretch out what amounted to what, one movie and a handful of encounters?

THE DRAMA! If, under these circumstances, the race doesn’t come between Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange, then the universe has no humor.

You were the model bride-to-be in my opinion. I’ve known brides of your mind, and they all seem to be brides in their 30's. Maybe its a reaction to the heights that weddings have got to. Those that have been on the wedding circuit (guests/wedding party) for the past ten years understand the cost involved in it…

I looooove to give cash for honeymoons or even specific ‘experiences’ to new couples. Don’t know what I would do personally if I got married though, just because of the censure of my relatives.

If you really want to give a physical gift, try Wine/beer of the month membership. A month free of those food-subscription boxes.

I mean, I feel like the general point in this case and all case is that one should never expect a gift. A gift when received is appreciated and enjoyed. To give a give is also enjoyed, but damn sometimes its stressful. Sometimes a person feels an obligation to give a gift, like when a close friend has a baby or a…

I believe she said she stopped wearing makeup all the time. Headlines misled her longer quote.

OK but at the time try line he was giving, all the press, was about him being inspired by seeing an ex-girlfriend. How she looked great and was happy, and they just exchanged good wishes and he moved on with bittersweet feeling.

They come with. But one has to bring their own crazee straws

I’m blessed with poor taste in wine ;)

It exists!

Seven Psychopaths meh but In Bruges and also The Guard (which please, please go see)written and directed by his brother John Michael McDonagh are so amazing. And Francis McDormand I am so here for this shit.

I think because its not ‘news’ when something happens to a POC. Immediate assumptions are always made about their circumstances and their background. The perspective is that ‘something’ was always going to happen to them. Vs. The perspective of something happening to a little white girl who had ‘everything going for…

And there still would be interpretation involved because it would be a matter of well how much DNA exactly does “Battery” and “Clocks” share and whats the tipping point. But we are the country who’s legal test for pornography is “I know it when I see it”.
