ennui

Costco sells Charmin.

I agree. He's falling in love with you but you haven't met him yet? Run! He's not a hopeless romantic, he's unstable.

"Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)" is my personal anthem. I will always be grateful for being introduced to Chris LeDoux. And "The Dance" brings me to tears. I watched his tv special, Live from Las Vegas, and thought he was funny.

It depends where you buy it. I find the rolls from Costco are y'ooge and last forever.

I was watching the news this a.m. about the tragedy in Times Square, and the man they interviewed said "and we took pictures, just like everyone else." I'm not sure what you do with those photos, but they have them. I can't imagine being a victim, and all you see is a circle of people, phones out, taking pictures.

But sometimes those are the only spots available. I don't drive an SUV, but it's not a compact car, either, and I guess my pet peeve would be the lack of adequately sized spaces. And now they take away more parking spaces to install charging stations.

Many greenhouses have been driven out of business by foreign competition. It's crazy to think roses are flown in from Colombia and Ecuador, but they are. However, now that pot is legal in many places, those greenhouses are back in business with a new crop. I kid you not.

My guess would be the reduction in trans fat. Saturated fats probably taste better, but are very bad for you.

I am not a fan of Michael Jackson, but he was MTV in the beginning. He revolutionized music videos, and the Thriller album was huge. In addition, he was a child star, familiar to millions from his TV appearances with his brothers. He grew up before our eyes. It was exciting.

I remember thinking that Clint would be the big star. Good thing I didn't bet money. In Texas, they call Strait "King George."

IT CC cream. With all the raves, I expected more. Plus, I had an uncomfortable burning sensation on the skin near my nose. Me, too. I also like the other L'Oreal mascara in the slim gold tube. I know it when I see it.

Clark Gable, It Happened One Night, and the walls of Jericho. Now, they'd just sleep together. Thinking of Clark, The Misfits would never get made because of the blatant, horrific animal cruelty.

The internet can't agree on how often to wash towels since there are a lot of variables. Mostly, they need to dry quickly; the longer they stay damp, the more likely to breed bacteria. Did you know there are 3,000 types of bacteria found on paper money? Blech. Paper money can reportedly carry more germs than a household toilet, and flu viruses can live for 17 days on a dollar bill.

This is what I meant. For example, the bottle is $10 at the grocery, but $20 at BevMo + 5 cents for the second bottle. I'll make an effort to go in BevMo and browse around.

Tell him that a person on the internet thinks he's destroying the environment by wasting water and soap. Ask him why he's still dirty when he gets out of the shower. (This is the Pet Peeve topic, after all.) :)

zoemom, I'm sorry your job is stressful. It always takes a while to learn new things, and you certainly have the background and experience. How are you with the names of pets? I wouldn't be offended if someone forgot my name but remembered my dog. :) If it doesn't work out, remind yourself, "I was looking for a job when I got this one." And don't forget to file for unemployment. It never hurts to ask. I'll remind all the older ladies looking for receptionist work -- H&R Block is the #1 employer for seasonal workers. Apply in July, interview in the fall, work through tax season. Highly recommended.

I was charged twice for something last night. I was tired and I didn't notice at the time. I called them this a.m. and they said to bring my receipt and they'd give me a refund, but it's mildly annoying nevertheless. I don't use the self check out because I'm usually buying wine.

And Ho-Ho's. Eating a Ho-Ho was a ritual unto itself. Peel off the chocolate, unroll the cake, lick the frosting.

I have a souvenir shot glass that says "Eat, Drink and Be Merry for Tomorrow You May Be in Utah." :)

Knitting engages your hands, but electronic games engage your mind. I've known people who read books while their SO watches tv, and I wonder why bother being in the same room. Monkees ... I liked Davy Jones (duh) even though I'm a lot taller than he was. I also liked Mike Nesmith.

Another funny memory ... a friend and I had a stopover between flights at the Salt Lake City airport. We decided to have lunch, ordered wine ... waiter came around to see how we were doing, and we ordered another round. When he returned with the wine, we still had some remaining in our first round, and he explained that we could not have more than one glass each on the table at a time. Bottoms up!

I studied the flyer once, and since you have to buy two to get the second at 5 cents, the price per bottle works out the same as one bottle at the grocery store. (I hope that makes sense.) chessiegal, I've lived a few places with liquor restrictions. I remember being surprised to learn that Irving, TX is dry, and I had to go to Dallas to buy liquor. Granted, it was only 10 or 15 minutes away, but far enough that I had to plan ahead.
