Messi the Puma.

You must, MUST, Google for him right now. I have never wanted a wild animal for a pet as much as I do Messi....cat smell and all.

Google “sans poils” and go to Images. It’s delightfully unexpected.

I have several pairs of Croc shoes that look nothing like the original Crocs, including the heels that came out a couple of years ago, and I love them without shame. I work in a law office now, and could easily wear some of them into federal court and no one would notice. 

Back in the day, like 14 years ago, I was an…

I need your secrets!

Yeah, I don’t think the teenagers get too geeked up about Von Maur, or Williams & Sonoma...

30 years ago, on a Friday night, that place would have been packed! :-(

I HAD to go to a mall Friday night to return something that I had ordered online (you get your money back faster if you just walk the return through at the brick-and-mortar).

It was a ghost town, half the stores are empty, and mostly there’s these really shady kiosks. It makes my 46 year old/1980's girl heart break a…

Don’t forget B. Dalton’s. 

I’m former EMS, and from a family with a long history of law enforcement (I mean generations here, going back to sheriffs in Indian Territory up until the present day), and I live in OKC, knew lots of people who died in the Murrah bombing or lost loved ones. My mom watched that happen from her own office a couple of…

Martha Plimpton is a pretty level headed gal, and was River’s first love. But she was not willing to deal with his drug and alcohol abuse if he wasn’t going to change anything, and even though she was fairly young, she had no problem calling out people, including his mother, who enabled him.

Her description of…

NONE of those kids were in any way prepared to actually exist in mainstream society...and then they were all groomed to be “child stars” in Hollywood? It’s kind of amazing only one of them died young. 

One of the Phoenix sisters, a passionate anti-vaxxer (SURPRISE!), lost a two year old child to pneumonia, but blames “off gassing”...basically saying modern homes are evil and chemicals from carpet, etc., poisoned and suffocated him.

I recommend reading “Last Night At The Viper Room” for a peek into the Phoenix…

Rooney Mara HAS no facial expression. It’s like her “thing”.

Side note to your side note? I have a confession.

Kate Mara, Rooney’s sister? Completely freaks me out. I hate to drag on appearances, but I cannot stand Kate Mara. It’s almost a phobia.

She is super tiny, and looks like a kid in a Margaret Keane painting, and they keep giving her these roles where she’s supposed to…

They have a logic that teaching kids to swim increases their chances of drowning...so much of the population lives close to water, and they are afraid that anything that encourages a kid to get into water will also encourage risk taking in the water. Drowning is one of the highest causes of child death in the…

Ugh. No, I didn’t know about the high suicide rate in the survivors. I have been keeping up re one of the survivors....Peaches, I think, is his nickname? Survived horrible inhalation injuries to his lungs, living with his parents, will never be the same.

I work for a law firm that reps county jails. You are very, very correct on all points. Most folks in county are deliriously happy to get hard time in state or federal. 

You know, particularly on the “high end”, the restaurant and food service industry is owned and managed by a higher than average population of people who identify themselves as LGBT, especially on the east coast. Same for waitstaff, bartenders, and the chefs and his/her kitchen staff. Many of the employees in the…

Posted twice, sorry. 

And why, as a woman approaching 50 years of age...is she wearing a JACKET with anything at all spray painted on it...to SOUTH TEXAS in THE SUMMER??
