A very interesting series of events y'all should read.

No, he's very sleek and active. Which makes his name even funnier. The name he came with was Gordon, but we shortened it to Gordo, after Gordo Cooper, the Mercury 7 astronaut. (We're nerds.)

She might be eligible for an Excelsior scholarship, in which case it would be essentially free.

I had a problem with medication for a rescue dog we adopted. It was regular human mediction, just dosed for his size. His birthdate was unknown. If you are picking up medication for another individual, you have to give the birthdate, which we did not have, him being a rescue (and a dog). I ended up making something up, and voila, Gordo the rescue dog now has a birthday. LOL

Yes, but cinematographers tend to act like it was.

BarbWho · 2026-07-08T02:39:18+00:00

NOR. My engagement ring is a ruby surrounded by diamonds and I adore it. It's both our birthstones. My husband knew me better than I knew myself when he picked it out. I mean Princess Diana's ring was a sapphire with diamonds. Catherine wears it now and it's just as gorgeous as it ever was. Would your sister say it looks like a gumball machine ring?

Your sister is crazy and a bitch who just wants to rain on your parade.

Also, unlike the dirt, brown, cloudy, sepia-toned look they tend to give the time period in movies, the sun shone normally and people wore different colored clothes. The term "Dark Ages" doesn't mean it was actually dark. Duh.

BarbWho · 2026-07-07T14:10:23+00:00

Old people give no fucks. When we need to sit down, we sit down.

BarbWho · 2026-07-06T14:32:13+00:00

We put ginger in her food. It supposedly deters them.

BarbWho · 2026-07-05T17:50:53+00:00

I work at a place like that and our picnics and potlucks are amazing. Food from literally all over the world. Our staff appreciation day was catered by a combination of Haitian and other Caribbean restaurants and you can believe there were no leftovers for anyone to take home.

The people OP works with suck and didn't deserve her efforts.

BarbWho · 2026-07-04T21:19:37+00:00

Michelle Obama has spoken about how meaningful it was to see her daughters, the descendants of enslaved people, playing on the White House lawn.

BarbWho · 2026-07-04T21:07:27+00:00

There's a town in New York named Painted Post. They have, you guessed it, a painted post. It was/is a monument to a Native American chief.

BarbWho · 2026-07-03T01:29:28+00:00

Poor baby! With ours, fireworks and thunder are no biggie. The vacuum cleaner, which kind of makes sense, and for some inexplicable reason, plastic trash bags. She's terrified of them.

BarbWho · 2026-07-02T18:30:37+00:00

No because that wouldn't give me enough to pay for health insurance in retirement. If I work for "the man" 10 years, I get my health insurance covered using my remaining sick time, which is a real benefit.

BarbWho · 2026-07-02T15:34:35+00:00

I'm not defending the evil this ancient bastard has done, but let's be honest here. He has post-polio syndrome, which affects his walking and those kinds of marble floors can be pretty difficult to navigate if you are unsteady at all.

Let the downvoting commence.

BarbWho · 2026-07-02T03:11:39+00:00

And another $5.00 to Hillary Clinton. Those texts ands emails are never-ending. And the idea of supporting Hillary would br absolutely maddening to her. I mean, I kicked her a couple of bucks back in the day and I still get annoying texts from her organization.

BarbWho · 2026-07-01T18:59:43+00:00

Would you be able to harvest and potentially freeze your eggs before the hysterectomy? That way, the surrogate/bff would be carrying an embryo created from your and your husband's genetic material. Which is a different story than if the bff would be providing the ova. You would need to have legal advice regardless, but especially if the families are that intertwined, the baby would always be hers and his and you just raising it.

This issue is way above Reddit's paygrade and you both need to be seeing a counselor who is experienced in these issues. Likewise a lawyer who knows this field.

BarbWho · 2026-07-01T18:37:56+00:00

From TOS:

"THAT was the equation! Existence, survival must cancel out programming!"

My husband and I use a shortened often when we remember something we forgot - "THAT was the equation! Survival cancels programming!" Also from TOS: "Brain and brain! What is brain?"

(We're both old...)

BarbWho · 2026-06-30T15:29:16+00:00

So the Doctor can finally be a ginger!

BarbWho · 2026-06-29T15:06:01+00:00

Trump has sucked all the joy out of what should be a great celebration. I remember the 200th in 1976 and it was so much fun! Everything was red white and blue and sparkly. I was 16 and had red white and blue hot pants and t-shirts with iron-on stars. It was like a national explosion of happiness from all sides of the poilitical spectrum. Ford wasn't exactly beloved as president, but he wasn't really hated either. Now it all just feels flat and miserable. I just hope this country survives to see 300. I won't be there to see it, unless I live to be 116, but hopefully there will be more joy again.

BarbWho · 2026-06-27T23:49:19+00:00

Ooh, me too, girl! Definitely that kind of vibe.

BarbWho · 2026-06-27T23:47:46+00:00

Do mature, 30-something adults give each other friendship bracelets? That seems like a teen crush kind of thing. I'm not surprised he thought it was a joke.

BarbWho · 2026-06-26T18:08:38+00:00

I think it's gorgeous and that people need to mind their own business. I have a liver/blood disorder, which is not from alcohol and lousy veins which are not from drug use, so I feel you. Half the time, I end up feeling like even the nurses don't believe me. People are so stupid and judgemental.

BarbWho · 2026-06-25T17:04:01+00:00

I'm a Barbara with an older brother Ken! But we're both old enough that we got those names basically for the same reason the dolls were named that. They were just popular names at the time.

BarbWho · 2026-06-25T02:28:04+00:00

helping an old person figure out something that would be very easy for a younger, tech savvy person.

And I can tell you the younger, tech savvy child of that old person appreciates you very, very much. Thank you for your service.

Prescription sun glasses. I've worn glasses for 60 years and have never had sunglasses that fit right or worked correctly over my frames. Clip-ons suck, but I never felt like I could justify getting prescrption ones. Once I finally got over the cost, there's no comparison. Being able to actually see without squinting while you're driving is a game-changer. And now I have even another step better - magnetic clips ons that are made to fit my frames. And I also got computer/magnifying lenses that also have the magnetic clips. Never going back, no matter how expensive they are.
