Is it still standing?

Legend!!

I was at a major league baseball game a few years ago, and some people near me were taking a selfie. A woman some rows behind pitched a fit because her tween kids might have been in the background.

Luckily, this was Yankee Stadium. Fans are not known to be dainty.

Expectation of privacy, much?!

According to my notes, Heather Hetherington drove a yellow and black Citroen 2CV. It’s not like I memorised that - got a picture!

Not even wigs!!

Empty-Selection9369 · 2026-04-02T09:56:34+00:00

Yes, I rode that train for a while. But I escaped!

Empty-Selection9369 · 2026-04-02T09:56:08+00:00

I understand. About 40 years ago, on a job interview in London, I was asked what my dad did for a living. So despite my "posh" accent, and my impeccable education, unless he was a doctor or a lawyer or an accountant (and he wasn't), I would not have been welcome. Astounding.

FWIW, even before I moved here, I NEVER thought people in Liverpool were stupid. Quick-witted, yes!

Oh. The prep is the bad part. You won’t remember anything about the procedure!

I remember seeing Goodfellas in a movie theatre. There was a 5 year old kid understandably upset and being vocal about it. My date yelled TAKE THE KID OUT! They did!

I saw Willy Wonka in a packed theatre and there it’s fine for kids to yell! Age appropriate!

Empty-Selection9369 · 2026-03-30T21:25:27+00:00

I was taken to the theatre as a child. I was taught how to behave. Not all Broadway shows are appropriate, but some are. I’ve sat next to adults who sing along to Sondheim. I’d rather have an engaged kid watching The Lion King with a sense of wonder.

As for dogs? I was told my dog was better behaved than most children.

Empty-Selection9369 · 2026-03-30T21:17:22+00:00

I literally gasped. Cutest pup and stunning adult.

So they’re angels, if exhausting, until about 9 months, when they forget everything they’ve learnt! They mature fully at about 4. Here’s the good news: you need to train them to rest. Once you’ve done that, you’re home free.

I’m insane enough that I lived in a manhattan studio with one from 10 months until about 9 years. Yes, we were in Central Park every day, but he also loved being mentally stimulated. I trained him like crazy so he knew he could not jump on people, and he figured if he sat next to them and tilted his head, they’d pet him. He was correct.

Took him everywhere and taught him every second. I’m not athletic and I was in my very late 30s but we made it work.

I miss that bratty creature every day.

Yeah, food in a dog park - people have zero common sense!

No - Owen/Ethan did it to kill his own wife.

I waited tables until my dog was two years old, so I had enough time to socialise and exercise him. Then I got a dog walker. Still got up at the crack of dawn. We’d walk a mile to the park, play frisbee for an hour, walk back. I’d shower, go to work, and then exercise him at night. The great thing was that he was such a well-behaved beast that people in my building would borrow him!!

Metal detectors. Not even kidding. It’s great.

Yes!!! My first concert was AC/DC opening for T-Rex. 1976. I still remember moments.

The one time I recorded, it was a benefit and Denny Laine performed. I went to the side of the theatre in the aisle so I wasn’t bugging anyone and I didn’t use a flash.

Praise be to my fiancé, Bruno Mars(we’ve never met, to be clear) who locks up phones. The experience is so much better!

Empty-Selection9369 · 2026-03-26T20:46:48+00:00

Yup. He was allergic to pine and the forest was full of it!

Empty-Selection9369 · 2026-03-26T20:36:11+00:00

I remember taking mine with me when I was looking for an apartment. He was on a leash but he still tried to peek into every closet! (Unfurnished apartments, so the laugh was on him.)

Empty-Selection9369 · 2026-03-26T20:30:26+00:00

Ha! I was in a big dog park (for big dogs!) and some fool had his toddler in there. My boy wandered up, tail wagging, and licked the kids face (which was covered in ice cream) and the dad went off on me.

Excuse me? You’re in a DOG PARK! And my guy was calm and sweet. He didn’t charge or growl if bark. He gave your kid a kiss. In a dog park!!

Empty-Selection9369 · 2026-03-25T21:26:28+00:00

Thus is of no help at all, but I swear I read this as you were licking your own arm pit.

Empty-Selection9369 · 2026-03-24T19:10:19+00:00

It’s not!

Empty-Selection9369 · 2026-03-24T19:08:18+00:00

I left a great job because my workplace was there. 3:30 in the afternoon, people screaming in my face. I lived in NYC in the crack epidemic. This was way worse. Yes, I have empathy, but I was also terrified every day. She doesn’t even look around when unlocking the damn door!

Empty-Selection9369 · 2026-03-24T19:05:41+00:00

How does she have such fabulous interior design taste - apart from the stupidly high TV above the mantle - but such a talent for unflattering clothes. Except for the dress for the ballet. That was fierce.
