110 Powerball winners, claiming at least $100,000 a piece. Was the clue to be found on Lost? No. Perhaps on The Young and the Restless? Nope. It was in the cookies. Mmmm cookies.
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Morning, y'all. Just a little hung over, which is good, since I have to work today.
Billy Crystal looks terrible, I think -- he's right up on my list of why not to have a lot of plastic surgery.
I knew she was my age-ish. I think her playing a parent role on The O.C. might have been one of my less conscious reasons for not tuning it in.
I like that about The OC, actually -- parents of high school kids aren't necessarily middle aged and shlumpy.

I just felt old seeing someone I still think of as new, and young, playing a parent of teens. Mark my words, when Alyson Hannigan, SMG, or CC is the mom on a teen centered soap in five years' time, you'll know.

But I know I could reasonably be the parent of a ten-year-old already. There are people I was in high school with who have kids in high school now. I'm good with that. I know I'll be a middle-aged parent of a high schooler, but not everyone is.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I went to a basketball game at my old high school and ran into a guy I went to grade school with. He laughed and told me his oldest boy was on JV. I'm standing there holding Owen, trying to calculate how old I'll be when he gets to high school.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I've read more tha one print magazine (I say print, because I have higher fact-checking standards for these than for online works) that claim Melinda Clarke is 32. Or, let her claim it.
What career objectives??
I had to write one of these. I think the real idea is to see whether (a) you have a plan; (b) the plan is realistic and achieveable; (c) you understand the steps needed to achieve the plan; (d) you really want to do this; and (e) you are literate and able to write a persuasive essay.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
MC never bothered me because at least she's a character who plausibly would have had kids very young. It's more of an irk when it's a character whose supposed to have gone to college/law school/etc., had a professional career yadda yadda, and it's just handwaved that the actress is only 12 years older than the kids.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
SURVIVOR!! First off why does Ian like Katie so much, she annoys the hell outta me and has proven herself to be one of the least trustworthy people. The women are totally stupid for not voting off Ian. I mean, I want Ian and Tom as the final two, but how can the girls not grasp that they will NEVER win immunity against the guys? Caryn, shot herself in the foot in the hugest way - insane. I could almost see Jeff going "um, you might wanna shut up now, cause they are all gonna vote your ass off."
CSI was one of the more boring episodes that I remember.

Art Crawl!!!
The OC: I didn't realize that the Caleb actor has a pilot. However, the Hailey actor has one for Fox therefore, I don't think that character will be back.
I liked the way that they killed Caleb. Also, I think that next year having Julie Cooper out and about all with her own money , not having to answer to anyone, could be alot of fun. I couldn't tell who it was shooting in the promo.

I know I'll be a middle-aged parent of a high schooler, but not everyone is.I'm not saying it is unrealistic. I am saying it is depressing to watch someone I best remember as the ingenue, play the mother.

She could be, but I bet they're letting her claim it. Imdb lists her d.o.b. as April 24, 1969. Her father was a soap opera actor, so there are probably soap fans (usually obsessive by nature--speaking from experience) who remember her birth. Her father was on Days of Our Lives for decades, playing Mickey Horton. She was on DoOL from 1989-90.
