Is it weird to dislike the Jardiance lady but also feel bad for her -- the actress, I mean? I am envisioning her feeling accomplished and proud for landing a decent, mass-market kind of gig (perhaps after nothing but few and far between late-night infomercials that made her question whether she needed to reevaluate her career path). Then, she does an arguably OK job with the nonsense that was expected of her. And then -- perhaps inexplicably, perhaps perfectly understandably -- instead of just tuning out the commercial... a nation decides to collectively despise her! (Though, maybe this ^ whole scenario will inspire a Lifetime movie detailing her plight and she's back on top!)

Ooooooh, speaking of pet peeves, man (extremely protracted frustrating peeves). Surely someone can do this before I shuffle off this mortal coil?! Come on, please, finally! Damn it. That said, that case was one of the ones I used to give idiot My Favorite Murder a chance.

I gave them a couple of chances with cases I am already familiar with (that’s how I decide if I can trust a podcast, haha!). They said so many wrong things that I just couldn’t believe their popularity.

Have you tried Truth & Justice With Bob Ruff? It's my absolute favorite. He is a true deep-diver into the cases he covers, which are mainly focused on possible wrongful convictions (and he and his audience have been instrumental in helping get people freed). If you like the meticulous details of an investigation, you may like this podcast (but if you want a new case delivered in an hour once a week, probably not). I do like some of the funny ones (usually less about the crimes themselves than they are about the documentaries about the crimes, if that makes sense) as well and I do get what they're doing. However, there's a way to do it and so many do not know that way. For example, I despise My Favorite Murder and if I had a dollar for every time someone suggested it to me, I would have a few extra dollars! I have been a true-crime follower since forever (like I remember when Forensic Files was called Medical Detectives) and I get kind of bitchy about the more recent and tabloidy contributions to the genre, and even more annoyed at a lot of the enthusiasts -- especially when they think I would like something stupid like Wives With Knives and Killer Women and other shows that do not even get details right. I don't mean to be a "gatekeeper" about it, but ugh.

Oh, then me too! The sorority girls always looked at me and my friends like we were gross anyway, even after they started trying (and failing) to dress like us.

Maybe they have to pass a dance class called “Audience-Participation Contingency Planning.”

What is GDI? I wondered the same thing! And do they consider what the person is wearing? I have not reason to assume the guys are anything but gracious, but I wonder if they think about these things?

Holy fucking hell, Ebay has become so annoying for selling! It's like a guessing game to figure out why your listing isn't showing up right or how to make a change later. Because my foot doctor has advised me to quit some types of shoes, I have been putting some of my pricier barely/never worn stuff up (that and the fact that I work at home now and don't need as much clothing. Mostly the first reason though). It's always been a tedious process, as I like to be very thorough in the hope of avoiding excessive questions, but it seems even more so now. I am not perfect at this by any means, but this is not a task on The Amazing Race -- please just tell me in detail what it is that needs to be fixed!

No worries -- just didn't know if you meant someone else!

OK. But I didn't claim it was gated. And I honestly don't care whether a kid has a golf cart.

I don't mean the lady at the beginning. I mean the lady at the end when there is a huge group of people dancing in a parking lot.

It was hideous, and not because of its length (I love a super-short skirt). It looked like scrubs and/or a bedazzled normcore Walmart shirt that a grandma would wear. No shade to anyone/anything* that I mentioned above (especially no shade to grandmas!); I just assume that is not what Garcelle was going for. *Well, yes, always shade to Walmart, but not for this particular thing.

Well, thank you! Now help me figure out why it bugs me, haha! It's not like I don't have space in the cabinet, so what's my damn problem? Maybe I feel pressured to have so many vitamins, haha!

My vitamin subscription is so annoying! They send the next month’s only about a week after I open the previous bottle. There’s no way to adjust this apparently and they swear there’s no error. And I swear, I feel enraged when I see the “we’re getting your order ready!” email! I just can’t figure this out. That said, I also can’t figure out why it gets on my nerves so much either! It just does!

Can the ColoGuard people really not come up with a better song than one that not only rhymes “accomplishment” with “astonishment,” but awkwardly shoehorns them in where they don’t quite fit? They have too many syllables for the song, which is just My Way and surely can be parodied in a much more natural-sounding manner. Did they just think that these particular lyrics were just so great that they needed to be crammed in at all costs?! Also, shut up, Home Goods people dancing in unison to that terrible Tom Tom Club song — especially you, smug-face lamp lady in the front.

I had a jar (some kind of pasta sauce (I think; maybe it was roasted red peppers for sauce) once that just would not open no matter what I did, to the point where I knocked on my neighbor's door to ask him to do it. He couldn't either. I threw it away -- I probably just ordered Thai.

I hate a bedskirt, but NO to visible box springs (unless they're some kind of solid color that looks deliberate). Ours is off white and I hate it; I got around the bedskirt hatred by just putting a black bottom sheet over it. Come ON, Meredith!

I looked it up; it's some community called Daybreak. It's odd and quaint, but not necessarily in a bad way? Definitely looks movie-settish and almost resort-like, and my macabre brain can think of lots of things that could go very wrong under that surface, ooooh! But again, it looks pretty nice, if you like that kind of thing. ETA: I actually could totally get behind living in such a place if all of my friends and I just kind of took it over en masse.

Golf cart or not, I do not understand Whitney's yard and neighborhood at all -- the layout, the aesthetic, none of it.

In a way, it is real -- meaning that if it isn't Bravo producing certain story lines, then it is real people really being shady. Sort of like lying vs. acting. I hope that makes sense; it was hard to articulate in the way I wanted to! I kind of like her too. I find her to be sometimes funny and snarky in a way i like.

It was good! I loved the sets and wardrobe so much.

Maybe it's someone Dorit actually knows! OooOOOOOH!

I have heard about burglars waiting few weeks for victims to replace what was taken, and then go back and do it again. I can see this working due to many people probably assuming that odds are against their home being targeted twice. Or if they can't afford a super high-end alarm system after the first break-in.

My friends and I use to laugh and laugh at Chick Tracts in college! Sometimes, being bored art kids, we'd use them to decoupage random things and then leave those things around campus. But a security guard once caught us placing a broken old TV decoupaged with Chick Tracts and candy in a patch of trees. I don't know why or how this came about. (I feel like this information is somehow a dead giveaway that I'm a Gen X who went to college in the early '90s.)

I don't mind Whitney either; I kind of like her. I feel like Lisa is very annoying, but generally a nice enough person.
