Does anyone know of a clothing brand that uses a little white button in lieu of a tag? I found this sweater at a thrift store the other day and I have no idea what brand it is (not that it matters; I am just curious). The inscription on the button is unreadable, and the button is so shiny that magnifying it is not helping. And Google is not helping. I thought maybe someone here might have a similar sweater and know...

I think Mary is a damn asshole, but I don't know how much of that is her fault. I'm no doctor and so I am not about to attempt to diagnose a person who I don't even know, but in my -- again untrained! -- opinion is that something is up and that maybe this kind of TV job is not good for her mental health.

Not that it has much to do with anything and I never saw this particular episode of Seinfeld, but this looks way better than his usual hairdo throughout the show.

From now on, when anyone says anything, Jessel should reply, “I’ve never experienced such a thing and have nothing to add. Please talk more while I simply nod and smile.” What the fuck do they want from this woman? Sai sucks and she’s boring and her husband is a cringe-fest.

YUP! I remember my BF was confused that I didn't tell some annoying guy that I had a BF and said only "not interested." I told him that if the guy had been an actual nice dude just trying his luck and not a pushy, arrogant douchebag, I probably would have said, "sorry, I have a BF" instead. I don't fault a guy for trying, but I do judge him by his reaction to the initial "no thanks."

Was just going to agree! My BF got me one a couple Xmases ago, hoping that I would dig it -- I did, and still do!

I encourage my friends to give treats to my cats. They're shy (the cats, I mean) and it can help them to decide to hang out in the living room with us, instead of hiding out elsewhere, when my friends are at my place with me. I have always thought that the animal welfare charities might do better by showing success stories so that people know that their donations may actually help. I think the dire images are not only horrible for people whose brains can't get rid of them (me) but make it seem like the problems are unfixable and never-ending. ETA: speaking of ads and animal causes, I just saw this and laughed. I read it as if the pets are literally carried to safety IN those bags (not to mention, referring to shelter animals as just "shelters" is weird and adds to the confusion).

Maybe. That’s fine (not that I actually think she’s some kind of candy bigwig). But it’s super-dickish to blatantly do in front of the other kids. ETA: I don’t think I’ve ever said “bigwig” in a conversation before now.

And why the hell does the lady care who is what for Halloween? What’s her game, anyway?! F her.

Why is this Dr. Z just loitering around in the laundry aisle in the All Free & Clear commercial? And why is she kind of smug when the 2 women say that they love her*? And they barely finish saying that the (their?) daughter has sensitive skin before Dr. Z just shoves a jug at them. *And why do they love her anyway?

Ahhhh, OK! I’m sorry, I interpreted it in a way you didn’t intend for me to.

Lots of therapy, haha! And so much less “schticky” now. I’ve always loved him but Current Me would probably not be entertained by Way-Back-When Howard, even though Way-Back-Then Me was — if that makes sense. I think I love him now more than ever.

For what it’s worth — probably nothing really, as it’s just an opinion, Howard is a an awesome person. People with a similar mindsets to that of Andrew Tate probably hate Howard.

What was Sai drinking when she wasn't drinking? It looked like a drink-drink. Not saying she's lying (or that I care if she drinks at noon) -- but I wouldn't be surprised if she was, haha!

"Fall sips"! Oh my goodness, there's a commercial for Instacart in which autumn get-together beverages are referred to as "fall sips." No. I hate it.

TY -- I'm full up on true crime, but maybe I'll give that one a try. But I still want something similar to Radio Rental. I'm listening to one now that's sort of like it, but it's just...meh.

It's probably just as rude as its always been; we just see more of the rudeness now, due to an increase in outlets through which people can express it. Plus, it's generally the rude behavior and events that collect in one's memory, more so than nonrudeness -- for instance, the 6 or 7 other FB Marketplace people I contacted ranged from perfectly normal to super-nice, but they didn't inspire me to tell other people about them, if that makes sense.

I feel like Angie thinks she's so badass and intimidating. Also, what was happening with Lisa's face when she was having the makeup done? Did she have a sheet mask on? Because something looked super-crazy wrinkled and...kind of brown? I backed it up a couple of times but still couldn't see what was what.

Years ago, I worked in a Barnes & Noble and, on occasion, had to do the story time in the kids' department. Do you know how quickly one can accidentally adopt the cadence of Dr. Seuss after reading a few books in a row? I do!

I typically don't know and can't guess any sports-related answers other than the super-obvious and maybe skateboard-related ones. But I could probably guess quite a few hop-hop artists. Knowledge bases vary and rap stuff seems just as valid as anything else entertainment-centered in a crossword puzzle. I never see the walk-in tub ones anymore! This seems weird, considering I like to watch the nostalgia channels. Maybe I'm just lucky! Is Ma Ingalls still on them? I do see the same stupid 3 ads over and over during Barney Miller though.

I don't know -- maybe I'll look. The thing is, her table is a great price, discoloration or not. Had she not acted so snottily, I most likely would have gone to get it. Maybe I am screwing myself, as now I will surely be paying more than what she's asking. Eh, whatever. Maybe I'll try once more to fix my old standby (or my old "trying its best to stand(by)."

Oh my goodness, if you are going to put something up for sale on Facebook Marketplace (or Ebay or whatever else) without any details other than a photo, do not get all aggro if people ask! Someone had coffee table that looked like it would work for me -- my cheap yet fabulous Ikea table is finally on its way out after 22 years (!!!). Well, I asked for the dimensions and also if there were stains on the surfaces -- they were very faint in the photos and could have just been characteristics of the wood or spots that I could probably fix. Either way, I just wanted to know and wasn't super-concerned. Well, this lady said, "If you are looking for a showroom condition oak coffee table, expect to pay over $400." Haha, "showroom condition"! The table that I have voluntarily and happily kept for 20+ years was literally $25 even though I could buy something "better." Anyway, rude -- next!

Maybe Jessel keeps a list because she's bad at counterattacks and/or inarticulate during arguments -- maybe she's anticipating conflict and wants to be ready with whataboutisms!

But it's not appropriate. Ubah is an asshole, but what she was, I think, trying to convey (albeit very clumsily) is that a black woman is allowed to be -- and visibly appear -- angry about something (like anyone else in the whole world is) without having a blanket and racist personality label being slapped onto her. She was angry in a particular situation, like many people would be (maybe not this exact situation). "Black woman who is angry" =/= "Angry Black Woman."

I don't get why this is lazy. And there are many people who could guess many rappers' names -- or just know them outright without having to guess.
