Thanks for the video links. Those were all really interesting and now I see that I will get no work done today because I am going down an internet rabbit hole on this topic. :)

Definitely my favorite, and sure to ignite a firestorm of controversy!

Ooh, I have to check out their visor. I have recently started to think about getting one of those full-face visors (as shown in some of the comments on this post) to wear when I drive. My friends think I'm insane, but somehow I think you will understand the appeal of that. It amazes me how little people realize (or…

I think you & I are soul sisters, at least for our huge hats and obsession with protecting our skin. I have a pair of those Asian driving gloves that go all the way up your arms, and I wear them whenever I drive for more than 10 minutes. My friends laugh at me, and I always say "I'm allergic to wrinkles. Laugh now and…

more and more women are making their own Facekinis out of used underwear and lingerie

Agreed - hamsters are (generally) pretty nasty. Domestic rats are a much better choice if you want to get a furry little pet for your child. I had both a hamster and a rat when I was a kid (sequentially, not simultaneously). The rat was 1000% smarter, cooler, friendlier, and nicer. Much, much nicer.

the truth is the movie stars only look like movie stars with all the smoke and mirrors

I have an extremely similar rule! I'll try any food as long as it is an actual food that some group of people somewhere on the planet consider to be a food. In other words, I won't eat a scoop of pig shit just because someone says "This is food."

I think I can tell who's the middle child here. Clearly sick of the bullshit and constantly stuck between Over-Achieving Eldest and Adorably Cute Youngest. I feel for her.

I love that they bought their daughter a huge plastic dinosaur. All good parents know that dinosaur toys rock.

I literally jumped a little in my chair when I saw that. Creepy as fuck.

Back off, hater. I have friends who are ghosts. They wouldn't cut someone's fingers off and paste them to a post. They're good folks just trying to make their way and constantly getting spit on by the government and psychics. Don't be such a life-ist.

Am I allowed to actually like that? Because I do like that. I wouldn't classify that as a catcall, even. That's a compliment. Right? (Well, it is to me, anyway.)

But it doesn't actually double as a phone at all, does it? ...I thought the ring actually worked as a tiny phone and I was super-excited!! Then I discovered it just glowed and vibrated at which point I would still have to get out my regular phone. Seriously bummed out.

I have always had exactly the same theory. When couples say they never fight, I feel like that's a huge red flag for much deeper, larger issues.

Exactly. Thank you for making all those points so I could just upvote you instead of trying to type them all out myself. :)

Yeah, that was my favorite part too.

Yep, that's how I think of it too. "Regular" means caffeinated black coffee. "Decaf" means decaffeinated black coffee. If you want milk/sugar/syrup/whatever in it, then you specify that as well. Eh, that's the charm of a country so large it can have this sort of variation from coast to coast!

Only my close personal friends Daft Punk can apparently express how much I love your correction:

Yes!! Thank you. :) She is so fabulous.
