I guess you've never lived with a teen aged boy. It's tough when there's only one bathroom. And I think the baby cowboy stagger is hilarious, have seen it many times. But I grew up in ancient times, times of cloth diapers and rubber baby pants.

past tired of Slimfast ad "it's your thing, whatcha wanna do?" when the lyrics are "it's your thing, do what you want to do?"

I knew what the count down in the commercial was for, just didn't know about the song. thanks for the info. and I still like the women in the ad.

Kariyaki, I love the women in this, the one is starting to her grove on and the look the other one gives her - funny! But since I don't follow any music recorded since about 1970, my only exposure to this song is this commercial and one time on Dancing With the Stars. So, what are they counting down? Why is there a need for a final countdown?

Loneharanger and Carpediem, I think we've spent too much time thinking about underwear! lol, I know I've spent entirely too much time thinking about these things. Carpediem, thank you for that link, I kind of thought it was something like this.

Just what are "meat sweats" anyway? Actually, I really don't think I want to know. Maybe the name of the garment wore by women that covers the lower private parts is different by region. I don't mind the word "panties", but it is usually preceded by the words "pair of". Not sure why they are pairs, maybe because there are two openings for two legs? But I say panties, and it doesn't bother me, I'm older, so maybe it's generational also. The raggedy granny panties that I wear are utilitarian, not in any way sexy. New ad that disgusts me, it's target audience is probably the same as for Ashley Madison. This time there's no scummy guys singing that cheerful ditty about lookin' for someone other than my wife, ife, ife,ife. I wasn't looking at the tv, but swear I heard a 12 year old girl talking about having what men want, at "We Are 18" , skeevy, skevishness.

editorgirl, you're correct, my mistake. and thanks for the info. I'm old, I get confused easily, all these trashy/tacky shows and networks all run together.

Dear Payless Shoe Source: "bogo" is not a word, it is an acronym.

Kim Z was not good, but I don't think she was Master P bad, more like Kate Gosslin bad.

Since this is Anna's thread, I'm going to say how gorgeous she is and what a smokin', hot bod! I love to watch her.

I'll be friends, don't eat breakfast out because I hate eggs and coffee. Ads for all medications have lists of side effects that are horrible - there's one about deciding between pimples and death or diarrhea. And I think all the sleeping aids can cause hallucinations or doing weird things while asleep - I have bought things on EBay. Fortunately they were things I was looking at, but hadn't made up my mind about. And apparently last night I played a game on line - fortunately, a free one. Young children that cannot be understood by anyone other than their parents should not be in commercials, talking or singing.. I'm 60+, I like big band music for dancing, but it's not what I grew up with, I'm more a British invasion, folk music person that loves the 50s too (including Elvis). Back to topic, just what is Steven doing though out his life that his mother gets so indignant about. I get the teenager closing his laptop, but is he looking at porn while giving a business presentation also?

I have a question about a tacky show, "The Haunting of..." I am curious and I've looked all over and can't find the answer, missed the beginning, episode is with Audrina Patridge. What city are they in? This was a particularly insipid episode. Ms Patridge seemed to be parroting everything that Ms Russo said.Some of the shows are rather interesting, but lately they are all getting on my nerves.

I am not sure it's an earworm, but the newer Life Alert has music that sounds so stressed, thundering, boots on the ground, militaristic background when the first responders get "the call", it makes me laugh.

just watched segment on Jamila Murbarak (not sure of spelling), apparently she killed her Duke husband in France. I wasn't paying a lot attention until the French accented police official was interviewing her - all I could think of was Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther. Probably shouldn't be laughing at someone being accused of murder, but couldn't help myself. Let me correct this a little, I misstated. What I laughed was the French police official, not Ms M'Barek (thank you Admiranda for the info). It was so Inspector Clouseau, I couldn't really listen, I was busy laughing.

I don't think I want a mattress with enough technology to tell me how I slept.

Watching reruns again. I don't mind when mom mentions daughter's figure and what daughter should or should not accentuate. Many mothers and daughters have those discussions over the growing up years. But it feels on the creepy side when dad says, my daughter has a beautiful figure and she should show it off more. There was one episode that dad had raised daughter, there were many beauty pageants in their past and he had been involved with her gowns/costume selections for years and this was another shopping trip. But mom and dad sitting on the couch and dad talking about daughter's figure rather disturbs me. Dad's should be be telling daughter how beautiful she looks and that she looks gorgeous in the dresses, but some of them just make me uncomfortable.

you're welcome, glad I could be of service, saber.

I only got to see a few acts and none all the way. It rained hard, thunder & lightening, so satellite was out for most of the show. So, I don't feel I could judge the acts, did get to see most of ventriloquist act, but missed some of the beginning and had trouble figuring out how much Howie was involved. I guess because I didn't see much of the acts, but got glimpses of the judging, I realized why Heidi annoys me. She starts every statement with, "I mean..."

As for the humor used, every profession that works with people in their worst moments, hospital ERs, firemen, police, lawyers, psychiatric workers, all use a dark, inappropriate to share with the outside world, humor at times. It's what helps them get through the awful things they see and do routinely. I worked in psych for a long time and some days, you had to crack jokes over what was going on or you cracked. Coping skill, and you don't do the jokes with the patients or the hurt, this is strictly between co-workers.

New one for me in the scratch head department. Peptocoper. A huge Pepto pink, radio controlled, helicopter flying into a conference room and dumping out Pepto Bismol. I think caught a fly in my open mouth.

Having been a migraine sufferer for most of my life, I went through the Imitrex injection stage. I can never inject myself. I practiced and practiced with the empty injector and would pull it off every time. I had a friend who also had Migraines, I could let her do the injections, and I would sit with her when she used it, but could not do the injection. One time I asked my soon to be ex-husband and no matter how many times I told him not to jam it onto my leg, that you just put it against the leg, he jammed into my leg - hurt like hell, and I would never let him do it again. I suspect he was punishing me for my many misdeeds. So for someone who has never used an injector to help anyone, it might be a good idea for a voice explain how to help.

I'm crabby again. Jan from Toyota is not JUST a receptionist, she a receptionist, now maybe promoted to car salesperson. I'm not crazy about Jan, I just don't like the phrase that anyone is "JUST" something or other. It's really a rude to say that Snap card holders buy whatever looks good, don't you? Why shouldn't people with Snap Cards buy what they want to eat? Maybe they do have microwaves and toasters, you don't know. And maybe they purchased those things before they lost their job and their car broke down, etc. They should sell off everything just because now they're on Snap? I despise the Eggo ads, and that dates back to when they first came out. It kind of goes with the mom's who can't get their families to eat home cooked meals, but as soon as they switch to frozen chicken pieces or take out, everything's fine. I was brought up with choices - eat it or don't, but don't come in the kitchen looking for something later. And why is obnoxious behavior awarded and promoted - not any particular commercial, there's too many of them.

applecrisp, there's nothing really wrong with the Elizabeth MacPhearson books, they are just not as good as the Appalachian books. I even like her 2 science fiction books and the Dale Earnhart book. And The Ballad of Tom Dooley was so sad. I think my favorites are She Walks These Hills and The Songcatcher. Topic? I have nothing, will have to sleep on it as usual.

I became conscious this morning to an episode of Deadly Women, as my brain began to function, I was listening to the Frankie Silver case. Took place in the Appalachian Mountains, Kentucky, I think, late 1800s, I think. It is an interesting story and if anyone wants to know more about it, Sharyn McCrumb's "The Ballad of Frankie Silver" tells an excellent story. Ms McCrumb's Appalachian books are among my favorites ever. She is a wonderful story weaver. But if you like her, skip the Elizabeth MacPhearson books, not her greatest.

Can't help but laugh at the Arby's Italian sub, "what about Arby's don't you understand, Giuseppe?" Most of the time, I think the voice is too excited about meat, but this one, I laugh. I don't know if it's the same actor on Arby's and ADT, but the ADT guy, says "I'm ADT". I continue the thought, "And you're not." Too many years ago, I watched too much SNL.
