No! I am so mad at me! But I feel like it was almost surely either a crime drama or a true crime doc.

It isn’t—I’ve never seen that. But thanks anyway!

But why? Perishable stuff goes in the refrigerator -- what is so hard for someone, dog owner or not, to understand? And what the hell does someone think will happen because a dog's food is in there? It's not like it's plopped in there, just loose on the shelf. Luckily/hopefully, these assholes are limited to commercials; I'd like to believe that I don't know an actual human who has this issue. I wouldn't sever ties with someone who was initially confused. But I would if they believed that I shouldn't store my dog's food properly. Sometimes I put my cats' food in the refrigerator. No one cares!

He really is. But then, in some of his THs, he seems OK-ish and kind of quirky?

OOOOH, you are not helping me to not lose my mind! Haha, I came in here all hopeful that someone had solved this for me!

This Eric can’t be serious. Surely he must be deliberately playing the role of a villain crossed with a bumbling oaf?

I think it’s more about manpower or something else like that (or maybe even language barriers, judging by the phone reps; it’s difficult sometimes). For one thing, my previous providers have online services. And this current provider links to actual health info and claims, you just can’t get customer service/administrative help online. If there are secure online portals that doctors use to communicate with patients about actual private matters (and it’s great; I rarely ever call an office!), surely an insurance provider can allow a customer to contact them online with mundane policy questions, even if it’s just a message that prompts a rep to call on the phone. Security concerns or not, writing a paper letter to an insurance company about a pressing coverage matter is not at all efficient for the customer.

It looked normal to me. Most stencils for portraits look like a mess of lines. To be honest, that tattoo came out better than I expected, based on the other tattoos I’ve seen on Bravo shows.

Oh my god, I know. My stupid health insurance provider is this way; the Contact Us section of the website has a customer service phone number and not even a fax number, but... a physical address...TO WRITE TO!

I don't know that I would care; Robert Palmer can and I still despise that song, haha!

I totally relate to James's issues about leaving the pets. I have it too, and my cats have not been through what Hippie has. I couldn't care less that Sheana plays with makeup with her kid. Fuck it, lots of people do that. I did when I was little and I barely wear makeup now -- somehow, despite playing with it, I never quite learned how to be adept at it (or even patient enough to allow myself to become adept at it, haha!).

Ugh, this almond milk commercial with the guy singing Simply Irresistible is annoying is so many ways. First, and least, I hate that song. Second, the guy is just annoying for no good reason I can think of (so that’s on me, I guess). But mostly it’s the kid who yells “Mom?!” like he’s tattling on his dad. I mean, I just said I don’t like that dad, but does he not have every right to sing and dance in his home if he feels like it? What is the mom going to do about it — and why would she want to do anything about it?

Hopefully, the allergist will do the patch tests. They're super annoying* but they typically can find the issue, whether it's food, something outdoors, or an ingredient in a soap or another kind of skin or cleaning product. *Especially if you are allergic to the adhesive of the actual patches -- that was a fun 2 days.

I feel like the point (or a point) is that the food for the dog is made of the same quality of ingredients as would be used to make food for a human (or at least a reasonably health-conscious human) and out of fresh things that need to be refrigerated. as opposed to shoved into a cabinet or under a sink. But it's also playing around with the generally agreed-upon image of what the term "dog food" conjures: this is not little hard brown pebbles, so it's not "dog food [as a concept]" though it is "food for a dog." And then, on top of that, it's trying to appeal to the "pet parent" who places their pet's needs on par with the needs of the humans in their lives (I'm not mocking that at all; I am super guilty of it and not sorry about it!). I think they may be trying to get too many themes (all valid, IMO) into one short little ad?

This is driving me crazy: Saanich. I cannot figure out what I watched semi-recently that was also set in Saanich and I am going to lose my mind.
