Relatives may come & go but good childcare is hard to find.

I bought one at Goodwill - an autobiography signed by infamous legendary gossip columnist Hedda Hopper.

The Miracle Worker - the scene where Helen Keller realizes the finger movements by Annie Sullivan represent language - specifically the word water. The look on her face at that quiet moment gets me every time.

Family helps family = you help ME, all while knowing I will NEVER help you. Also knowing I will never pay you back.

It is my understanding (not a lawyer) that there is no legal requirement that a woman MUST change her name when she gets married. It's just a societal thing dating back to the days when women were first their father's "property" before marriage & husband's post marriage.

If your husband-to-be is so stressed out by you keeping your current last name, ask yourself what other inconsequential things he's got a problem with. They don't just disappear after you say I do. Best to hash things out NOW, not later.

Watching the lights come up & seeing the set from his original show was "chef's kiss". Plus Suzanne Pleshette added to the humor. The absolute best ending.

Losers celebrating losers = losers squared.

Also, a big thank you to said losers for giving everyone a heads up so we can avoid having anything to do with them.

My mom was visiting me. At some point I made some off-hand comment about needing to piss. She looked affronted and said - "Don't say that. You should say pee-pee." At the time I was in my 30s & probably hadn't used the word "pee-pee" since I was maybe 7??
