Is this the actress who does AT&T's Lily? Milana Vayntrub, at the end of the ad.

I think they were donated eggs. Still insane, though. -

Ditto to the other pills, but I'm a self-indulgent adult, so I have fun with the vitamins. -

I actually LIKE the Flintstones chewables. Gummies? Yuck. As a kid, there was this girl who used to sit beside me on the bus and she always had Flintstones chewables on her breath, so I assumed that was her Mom's last task as she shoved her out the door: "Here, take your vitamin!" -
What does everyone else do with their deceased pets? As a child, we'd bury them on the farm, but since I've been living in apartments all my adult life, I felt that cremating them and keeping their ashes "works" better. I currently have four kitties with a few pictures and toys in an adult-sized urn that my family knows to bury with me. I know they also have cremation gardens where the ashes are mixed and scattered.

I think they're trying to sound like Prince.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you had. I have known those who do, though, and I find myself never, ever visiting those people. -

Maybe Berta wants it to be tonight. It's not up to the nurse to decide when her dying patient goes. Maybe dragging it out longer will cause Berta pain. The nurse acts like her dying patient actually dying is some failure on her part. It's not about you, lady! -

Other than my work shoes, it's a comfort thing for me. I would never dream of demanding that visitors take off their shoes before coming in. -

I actually have one of those doohickeys that fits over the top of a door (to the spare bedroom, which is used more for catch-all storage). It "only" holds 18 pairs, so work shoes go in the front hall closet and the house slippers get parked in the bathroom. I used to have a cat who would stick her face into my shoes as soon as I took them off. She would also sniff my work clothes the minute I took them off. The current duo just "interrogate" me every time I come home, sniffing at my shoes, pant legs, grocery bags, etc. They also watch me shower with this puzzled/concerned look that clearly means, "Why are people such weirdos?" -

I work in a hospital - and ditto. And I go into the shower and the clothes go into the hamper ASAP. I usually shower again in the morning because my hair is a mess. I don't understand people who work in a hospital and wait until the next morning to shower. Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! Dumb. Also dumb is the Chobani ad where the nurse on break eats her yogurt with a tongue depressor. Give me a friggin' break! Hospitals are stuffed to the gills with cheap plastic spoons. I have to admit I like Chobani in spite of their idiotic commercials. -

No paper booties on their shoes, but I got a (knock-off) Tempur-pedic mattress a few years ago, and the store sent me off with a ginormous plastic bag that I was supposed to put my old mattress in. I wasn't able to manhandle it into the bag by myself and the delivery guys were a bit perturbed when they got there and saw that it wasn't bagged. They were on the verge of refusing to take the old mattress until I asked them to pretty please just haul it to the dumpster. They said they weren't allowed to carry off my (apparently) biohazardous mattress in the same truck as new ones unless it was wrapped. The new mattress came with your basic metal bed frame that I didn't need, so after the delivery guys left, I went out to the dumpster with the frame. My old mattress was gone (eww), so I just put the metal bed frame beside the dumpster. It quickly disappeared as well. -
As he's running in slo-mo, all I could think was, "He's gonna eat that damned bow." because my brother's dog (a Golden) eats everything. But Gordon's smarter than Daisy, so good boy!

Well of course murder makes you stabby! Doesn't she also come back and catch him at it? And teases him, "Aww, you're nervous! That's so cute." That made me giggle. -

I'm going to plead advanced age. I was in elementary school in the late 60s. It was either that, or, you know, Indiana. Group hug! -
Bwahaha! Thanks for that.

THAT'S Lily?!? Wow. -
I must have made the correct choice, then. I wondered about the party, too, but rewatching it, there are a couple of white girls on the back row (weirdly older than the rest) Really? I knew "man" (as in mankind) wasn't.

Over in the "annoying" thread, I was discussing that Clearasil ad where the mom keeps walking in on her son Stephen and being shocked. Today while replaying the embedded video, I saw another Clearasil ad in the mix of suggested videos at the end, and discovered a whole cute mini story about zombies. It's a bit of a stretch, but they've got 12 hours to keep this guy's girlfriend from permanently becoming a zombie and coincidentally, his zit is gone by then, too, because Clearasil is ALL. THAT. Not sure why we get both choices at the end. I looked, but couldn't find any of the other choices along the way.
