In other TV news, has anyone else been plagued by those Idaho Potatoes commercials? I seldom watch daytime TV but I was sick so today was an exception. Anyway, there are these crazy commercials stressing the health benefits of Idaho potatoes ("not just any potatoes!") with this really raspy-voiced lady who pronounces Idaho like "eye-ho" and it drove me nuts (it could also be my cold). She also claims that "exercise and a diet with potatoes" help you to stay trim, which is true in some contexts but it nonetheless made me laugh because I can totally see somebody going to a grocery store, looking at potatoes, and remembering, "oh yeah, potatoes help you lose weight!" #tyrafaketoenails
I worked at a tanning salon in high school (ooooh the stories) and knew a couple girls that came in who had acrylics on their toenails, but never as long and gaudy as that. I'm not sure the reasoning behind it, as I was always too weirded out to ask. #tyrafaketoenails
Whoa. That Sandals commercial's version of "I've Had The Time Of My Life" sounds like the Kidz Bop version. Except, sung by adults who should know better. #tyrafaketoenails
@GirlFailer: This was during the campaign, and she was in Iowa trying to get some votes (From the HBO documentary "By the People"). I think she is interrupting him/poking fun when he won't commit. #tyrafaketoenails
This is pretty embarrassing, but I have had an acrylic tip on my toe. My cleats were too tight when I played lacrosse, and after a long game, I lost my big toe-nail. I was super self conscious about it, so I went to the nail salon and those nice ladies fixed me up with a new talon. I'm glad I'm not alone. Thanks Ty-Ty. #tyrafaketoenails
I don't have HBO either (cheap cheap cheap birdie) but I DO have a rockin' boss who burned me a DVD and I watched most of it. Before falling asleep...
It is uplifting. And it IS tempting to blame the POTUS for what he hasn't yet done that he's promised but keep in mind - he's a pragmatist and saddled with disasters unforseen. And despite accusations from across the aisle I believe he is trying like hell to be fair and bipartisan. #bythepeopledocumentary
I'm pretty sure I'm horrified by the Teen Wolf photo spread. That's not just shirtless, that's... I feel like I should call social services on the photographer.
Owning a somewhat cozy condo is not the same as worrying about whether you can make rent next month. Struggling to save is not struggling to live. This has always been my problem with Obama, and every other politician who tries to win votes by pretending he's just an average guy — i.e., all of them...
@Keep it cool: My point is that most people are not struggling to live in the U.S. MOST. They are struggling to save. Again, MOST. I'm not saying that we don't have a portion of our population struggling to live, but it's certainly not in the majority. We are not a nation of poor people just trying to make it day-by-day. We are also not a nation of rich people. We are a nation of mostly middle-class who are struggling to save. Just because you see "plenty of people struggling to live" doesn't mean you aren't exposed to a dispropotionate amounts due to geography or socio-economic class.
Again, before people start bugging out about how we have poverty and a lower class and you live in a studio in Bed-Sty with 5 people, my point is that MOST Americans are not struggling to live. #bythepeopledocumentary
@JinxyMcDeath: Ah, I see your point more clearly now. I agree, we do not have a population that consists of people living on 1$ a day, but we do have a population of people who can't pay rent. I mean, I'd rather be homeless here than in Africa, that's for damn sure. #bythepeopledocumentary
