At the stroke of midnight on New Year's eve I squealed "Happy New Year!!!" then tumbled over the bed and swooped in to smooch my cat. He leaned away.

Same here. I gained a few pounds and I hate it, basically because of how I got it: by eating a lot of junk food, sweets, sugary stuff, and processed food. I've had those moments where I know I'm not hungry, but since the food is there I just eat for the heck of it. I really have to stop doing that. I've lost a couple…

I have a small battered, patched up green pillow that has been with me since I was an infant. I avoid taking it with me on trips because I get terrified by the thought that somebody will mistake it for junk and throw it away. That being said, I have a fancy cream and gold pillowcase that I stick it in and then put on…

Maybe there's something more to the story? Maybe all the years that they're married he never really felt that she loved him, and the fact that she's still holding on to those letters just confirmed his worse fears?

Recreating a disastrous voyage...what could possibly go wrong?

And what kind of fashion style is a "niggabitch" anyway, and why do they think it could be taken as something positive or flattering? So they could call someone names, but no no, they shouldn't be called racists, that's off limits. Look! They even have minorities!

Could it be the classic case of "I want my mommy"? I've been in a few difficult situations where I knew I could take care of it as an adult and my mom really wouldn't have been much help, but still.

It felt like seeing a long lost friend!

I wants it my preciousss, I wants it now. *shakes wads of cash at the trailer* That small snippet of the LOTR theme at the end is a wonderful foreshadowing.

You do that please. Our local shelter has a lot of interesting, spirited animals but kid volunteers write their bios so they end up with bland blurbs filled with grammar and spelling errors. It makes me a bit sad since there are thousands of pets out there and everything needs to be done to shine interest on as many…

Double awww at your story! So Mama Angie approached you guys with her kitty family in tow? I love hearing about animals finding their forever home.

I should have known he wasn't going to be available for long. Nobody can possibly resist that well groomed mustache and tiny top hat.

This gentleman I'm sure is a well bred beacon of culture and taste. I feel like slipping my hand through his arm so we can go on a fashionable and engaging afternoon stroll.

I don't even remember where I got it. I don't know if I absentmindedly picked it up at Walmart or my mom gave it to me or I bought it from some kitschy store. But yes, it was a set. Blue and green turtleneck sweater with a matching scarf with mini pompoms on the end. I...I buy stuff all the time for my (ungrateful)…

I bought my cat a sweater and scarf set. When I put the sweater on him he acted like it was a suit made of biting ants. He slunk around in shame then finally plopped himself on the floor and refused to budge, all the while staring at me with mutinous dagger eyes. I never made him put that on again. The scarf I gave to…

I second Fox Mulder. I've had daydreams where he was going to be my big strong FBI protector and in turn I was going to be there to soothe and snuggle him when he's angsting at night about his little sister. *nods*

That floppy hair....urgh seriously, I thought that hairstyle was da BOMB. I loved Nick Carter and Leo Di Caprio because of it, I crushed on other teen celebs because of it, I was convinced I was going to marry a man with that hair. Gah.

It says up there the mom is a nurse. Now I don't know the starting wages for nurses in Omaha, but I'd peg it around more or less $20 per hour. Maybe this lady wasn't exactly doing the layaway for lack of funds? That was the only part that made my eyebrow raise a bit. The rest is all good though.

Yay! Yes, we liked building the regular ones, but with the girly set we were more focused on making something with a story, like we'd plan our future houses one day, then build a princess' mansion the next. It was great having legos that fit in with the way we played.

My sister and I had pink and white Legos back then. It was like a 'build your own mansion' set or something. There were pink, silver and white blocks, pink and white lego sheets, then little purple corner blocks and purple and white heart shaped gate toppers. My sister and I LOVED that. We had regularly colored legos…
