Stranger Than Fiction was so good. Its too bad it didn’t get more buzz.

Yep. I get that the demographic of the writers skews younger, which is fine for the pop culture aspect. But aside from a few well written longer pieces, the same style of “reporting” is being applied to subjects regardless of their gravity. I’m so sick of snark in everything. It’s not even new! I’m a Gen-Xer and we’ve…

WWoolworths used to have a small, depressing bird and fish section. I figured it was along those lines.

My parents are nerds. My mom really wanted to go into engineering in college and started out as a math major but got talked into a “practical” major for a woman - dental hygiene. She took premed courses for it and made a good living but left the field as soon as our family moved. My dad was our city arborist so he was…

Yeah Kimmy’s attempt at office politics was odd and really didn’t work. It’s not like work is all that different from real life interaction. She’d already handled far more complex issues working for Jacqueline and her family. Weird season. 

Max was my favorite. I really liked how realistic her relationship with TC was, so many shows were just promoting the standard “love conquers all until you divorce” idea. It was rare to see a couple who might want a relationship but had other priorities that came first.

I’ve been watching mostly for Titus, especially in the last season. It was inevitable that Kimmy’s journey would run its course - there’s only so many new things she can experience. It makes total sense for the show to wrap up.

I have to give kudos to my parents because they’re quite tech savvy. Both are in their early - mid 80s but keep up with what’s going on. My dad has been working on/building his own computers since you could get the necessary parts from Radio Shack, so I think he’s always wanted to be in the know. My mom didn’t want to…

I shuddered just reading this reply!

I had a co-worker who thought her iPhone (newest model, natch) had to be connected to the internet to charge...

I asked for the hardcover for Xmas. I never ask for actual gifts because my non-work activities are super specific and too expensive to gift. So if I don't get it, I'm throwing a tantrum like nobody's business. 

I’d take President Velociraptor over 45 any day, at least the raptor would know how to cooperate with others. 

Mariah has a much wider vocal range, Ariana is much more comfortable in that first soprano range. She’s got a solid voice to be sure, but this sounds less like a whistle and more like hitting one note. It’s a little odd, maybe it’s supposed to mirror the earlier parts of the song where the verse is staccato? I went in…

I personally would not want my birth control to be dependent on my partner. It’s not a trust issue, aside from my controlling ex, I’ve never been worried that a guy wanted to knock me up. I would just be concerned that they might forget to take it.

My mom (Catholic) took the same pill I take, she only had my brother and me. Even more telling, my Catholic mom was an only child! And grandma and grandpa were very much the love birds. My grandmother was also an only child. My grandfather’s family made up for a lot, he was the youngest of 11, but there were huge age…

I think the real take away is do what’s right for you, whatever your goals might be. For a lot of people I think it’s just getting to a point where they feel comfortable in their bodies, whatever size they might be.

Mmmm Wawa’s fresh pretzels.....

That makes sense, I guess I thought the problematic memes had been around too long be relevant in this context. Maybe I’m not giving pop culture enough credit, I always assume it’s got (and has always had) the attention span of a gnat.

I re-read “when has your fave???” a few times before realizing it was a stand alone phrase. Is it a rhetorical question or the newest version of “I can’t even”? 

But I like Grumpy Edwardian ghost George! He looks like he’d haunt things really well.
