@stacyinbean: THANK JEBUS, I did too. After the Bride Wars post where some critic mentioned they didn't shoot her below the waist, I was suddenly wondered if they were hiding her pregnancy.
@Your Screenplay Sucks: I read a news story recently about a couple who killed themselves together (overdose of sleeping pills or something) because the wife had cancer and they couldn't face living apart. It was like three weeks before their golden wedding anniversary.
I cried :'( (I was PMS-ing. But it was still really sad and adorable)
I don't get it. Fruits and vegetables aren't that expensive, and processed foods are not only expensive, they give you cravings for more and more of themselves. I think some of these people may have forgotten what real food tastes like.
@TheFormerJuneBronson: And just to forestall any lengthy disagreements, yes, I'm aware that poor people don't always have access, which I think should be remedied, and yes, I've shopped in those poor-neighborhood grocery stores myself, so I know how pathetic the selection is, and how expensive real foods--really, all foods--are there. My issue is with people who have the access and have talked themselves out of buying fruits and veggies for whatever reason. We're far from rich, and live in a lower-middle-class small city, and I'm surrounded by produce, even in the dead of winter. It's not that hard to find something edible. Flash-freezing solves what international transit doesn't.
@DangerMouse: My bestie is an Electrical Engineer and she's the only female engineer in her dept. at her power company. For her sake, I say YES, YES, A THOUSAND TIME YES!!
A German university is now offering "flirting courses" for IT engineers where they can learn skills like mastering the flirtatious text and impressing people at parties. Do they not have Cosmo on the Continent?
Can't we just send them Mystery? PLEASE? Or is that girl-on-girl crime against German women?
@BlondeGrlz is having a BlondeBoyz!: Unfortunately, as I have just ventured from 4 months abroad, Mystery has made it to Europe. And no, I don't want to share the story of how I know.
So, since the harm is already done... Let's ship him over (and all of his colleagues too).
@morninggloria: Seriously, I was always waiting for the day Rabbit would finally put a boot up Tigger's ass...never happened. Frustrated 8 yr old me to no end.
@stacyinbean: haha recently i saw a winnie the pooh movie on the disney channel and i almost cried. why can't all characters be that loving and caring?
@stacyinbean: omg I can barely talk about Pooh. I kind of liked Winnie the Pooh and then everyone I knew suddenly thought I was obsessed. When I was 16, my then-boyfriend bought me a really weird Winnie the Pooh picture frame for our anniversary. When I was in COLLEGE, my grandmother bought me a set of Winnie the Pooh luggage, and a pair of Keds-like shoes with Winnie the Pooh embroidered on them. WTF??? I had to throw out the shoes because NO ONE who wears a size 11 womens would ever feasibly wear them.
The luggage was convenient in that no one at the airport ever, ever had the same suitcase as me. I looked like an asshole though.
@bloodflower: I was in my teens when my mother had two more children and i did A LOT of babysitting. In my home this involved a similarly large amount of Winnie the Pooh. I absolutely fell in love again and seeing my brother and sister do the same was the sweetest thing ever. My mom actually collects original Pooh items and the drawing cell thingies. Cheesy overshare!
@rocknrollunicorn: oh that is hilarious. My first boyfriend bought me a Winnie the Pooh when he went to Disney with his family. I just went and found it and it is dorkily marked '1996' on the tag! I was 14!

That said, most of my dogs have pooh names:
Miss Portia Pooh
Winston Pooh Bear
Cecil McCecil - he is just was just too sessalicious for a Pooh name.
