I definitely run into issues that are annoying, but they never are so bad that I want to do the shopping myself. Lately, I have been lucky to have a shopper who is also vegan; she knows not to replace my yogurt with dairy yogurt or my burgers with real meat ones! Yup, that latter happened once...in the very same order where they didn't give me any paper towels at all because they were out of the kind I ordered. Logic!

24 spaces seems like a lot for curbside* -- and, on top of that, not a ringing endorsement for the store's ability to get the curbside orders out quickly. *which I will admit that I do for any shopping I dislike and/or have no time to do (mainly grocery shopping; I despise it, so I place an online order and go get it on a break from work).

THANK YOU! I have long declared that Hershey's Kisses taste like the smell of baby vomit. People think I'm a lunatic, but I am not -- I am wise and sensible! Also, though, I can't 100% hate Hershey's because my cat loves the Xmas Kiss commercial with the bells and it is so cute to see him get excited when it comes on.

I'm just debating a viewer's ability to conclude who does most of the parenting based on what we see. And also based on what we see, Scheana's dealing with a neurodivergent condition that makes it difficult (and that's an understatement) for her to make changes, regardless of whether she should (and I bet that she knows perfectly well that she needs to, for her own benefit as well as her mom's, Brock's, and Summer's). But OCD is a bitch; you can logically know that something should be different, but it's not a switch that can be flipped just like that. That said, I can understand Brock wanting to be able to more freely enjoy the honeymoon phase (but being insensitive about Scheana's OCD issues is probably not the best way to get there). As for the bathing suit store, I hope that was a routine for the camera, because he was being a real dickhole. Wait until you get in the car, dude; the bathing suit lady doesn't need to know all this! ETA: Also, no, no, no to that swimsuit, Brock. Ooh, warn a person! But yes, yes, yes to Graham's little curly hand-paws! I love them so much.

We see like 10 minutes total per week, if that, of Brock and Scheana's home life; I really think it's impossible to ascertain from that whether Brock does "most of" the parenting. Regardless, though, one or the other is likely going to be doing most of it; rarely does anything split exactly 50/50 in couplehood. Also though, is it bad if he does? Maybe he likes it and actively wants to get in on it? Maybe his schedule makes more sense for certain parts of it? Maybe he's trying to be different in this round of fatherhood? I'm not a parent, but I'm almost certain that there's no rule that a woman has to do "most of" it. I hope that James and Ally changed course and tried to implement a "slow introduce" with the cat and the dog. The whole "they'll work it out on their own" plan is generally a notoriously bad one. Better to do that and find out later it wasn't necessary than the other way around.

Ugh, White Diamonds. So cloying and so strong and so upsetting. I am sorry to insult anyone who wears or loves it -- it's tomato, tomahto and that's fine and you should love what you love; I just cannot. It does to me nose and throat what Febreze does, which is basically make them close/clog up.

Re. Josh fishing for weight-loss compliments, I don't think that's what he was doing (or only doing; he deserves to give himself a some props -- heart U, Josh!). Anyway, he mentioned in a podcast that it was in part to explain further to viewers that a lot of time had passed since some of the earlier, "bigger Josh" footage in the episode, and to get ahead of a barrage of social media comments about it. I think he said they started on this one in 2018.

I would bring my own towel too, but I suppose if someone forgets, you'd want some around. Plus, if I have a pool at my house, I am probably going to have a few designated pools towels regardless of whether I'm having a party. I will watch the new show, whatever it's called -- though I prefer to think of it as not the Jax show, but instead the Kristen show. Haha, I feel like that is pretty much exactly what I am doing already.

Oh, never mind!

I bet they do that shit periodically to try to make people feel like they need to go for the premium membership. That would be FB showing you something they think is pertinent to you. He’d probably also show up in that list if you looked up someone who knows/knew you both or someone with a school or workplace in common. It’s totally possible that he also got you in his suggested people list, but he generally wouldn’t have any way of knowing you looked (though I’m guessing that some kind of super-techy types might know of a way to do it).

I haven't tried to "spy" on anyone via Linkdin in a while, but I use it only for professional stuff anyway. But I can say that with Facebook, no one knows if you look at their profile or if even you see a message from them (until you actually open the message all the way, and you can mark it unseen as well -- I think the same goes for Linkedin). It's very easy to ensure on FB that you connect only with those you want to connect with.

I like it. Reminds me of a vintage '70s one I got a few years ago -- I wonder where I put it?

SAME! I wondered all of these things! No kind of path-type thing across the grass -- everyone's heels must have been sinking in on the way to the actual party floor. Ugh.

I am not pretending to know Kyle's needs or feelings or even motives, or commenting on whether or not she is a jerk -- and I also don't know how to convert the freedom to go to kids' soccer games against a romantic presence. But not all of us are willing or happy to be in a relationship like this. I'm not. While I can fully appreciate what a partner's sacrifices and contributions may "afford" me, they don't, for me, make up for a too-frequent absence of the partner or a lack of balance between personal and professional endeavors. If I feel single, I'd rather just be single. I don't need a partner, so if someone is not able to be one, then why bother? (And I say that not in judgment of a person's reasons for not being able to be a partner; I just think don't be one if you can't be one). For whatever Kyle may be, I tend to doubt that she'd toss the marriage for negligible reasons.

If someone ever asked me what my favorite part of the Kit-Kat was as if it’s some scintillating conversation starter, I’d have to start screaming. What a stupid commercial of stupid-sounding people.

I feel like Lala has always periodically decided to try out a calm, wise, Zen version of herself. I am not saying it's fake or real, just that I think I've seen it before -- and seen it come and go. She also has a tendency to use a phrase to death; right now, it seems to be "wear" in terms of labels (societally/peer- imposed labels, not clothing labels) and trauma.

Right. But it's still not inconceivable that some one can make a profit. Again, everyone, I an NOT expressing an opinion on these sites here (I mean, I use them, they're fine, whatever). I object to the dumb use of "signs" in the commercial, that's all.

Even though it’s my job to be upset by all of the grammar errors, I don’t really care that much outside of work and I also fully accept some as just part of language evolution and as colloquialisms. But “less” where “fewer” should be is painful, especially in advertising.

I mean, that's fine -- it's certainly not the only grammar/usage issue in commercials, as we all know. But it still isn't a correct statement, which was what annoyed me. People earn dollars, not signs.

Well, it's the same as any resale operation, garage sale, or secondhand/vintage store; a seller makes money in the sense that it's money that they wouldn't have if they hadn't sold the stuff. And there's obviously no way to determine whether someone may end up with more money than they started out with; it clearly depends on what people sell, how much they sell, and how much they sell it for (like any other kind business). So, people definitely could make money in that way as well. I am not sure why this is becoming so confusing, as it's no different than Ebay, but my only issue was that the commercial said "dollar signs."

But it makes no sense to say that your stuff will earn you "dollar signs." It earns dollars. It's for anything, not only high-end stuff, so it doesn't really matter what's in your closet, and you don't send it to Poshmark; you just send it to the person who buys it -- same as Ebay.

Poshmark commercial is telling me that my stuff is just "dollar signs to be made." Well, thanks, but I'd rather have the actual dollars.

I have to make myself remember it.

I think it’s OK for you to clear out what you don’t want — and I say that as kind of a hypocrite who also has trouble with this kind of thing. But if you’re keeping it out of some sense of obligation, it kind of cancels out the good part of having it! And you have the memory of your mom whether or not you have the china. Could you pick out a piece or two that you might actually use and donate the rest?

I agree. Whenever I think of it when I’m making food, I will use a vintage Pyrex bowl or my green lemon-grinder thing (I’m sorry; I am completely forgetting what it’s called!) or my very-favorite-since-I-was-little Flame Chef cobalt blue casserole dish (it’s not the one that actually belonged to my mom, but it’s the same; I scoured the earth for it after neither parent had any idea where it got to over the years). I also move my coffee from its can into a mason-type jar and I scoop it with my lovely metal scoop. Using something special for an everyday event is such a simple way to make myself happy — and feel less silly for having a lot of technically unneeded stuff. ETA: Jadeite lemon juicer! That’s what I meant!
