Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

the attachment that turns a KitchenAid mixer into an ice cream maker is BRILLIANT.

That exists??? Perhaps we need to add it to our registry. I am intrigued.

My parents are being so unsupportive of my brother's engagement. no excitement whatsoever. they suck so much. I am angry with them.

Oh, that's lousy. He's lucky to have you as a sister.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Oh, boy, Consuela. Lots of ear~ma for you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It would be an excellent addition to your registry, Tep! [link]

That's a shame, msbelle.

Because books.

Aw, how come, msbelle? That's uncomfortable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oyyyyy, belle family!

Is it wrong that I love the Target ads with the cutesy instrumental versions of rap songs? I've seen Push It and also Hey Ya. I do realize I am 100% the target market, aside from not having school-age kids.

I hope not, because I really like those. There was an earlier one that I dug, too, but I can't remember what the song was.

May your brother and his intended begin their lives together surrounded by so much love and joy that they cannot feel any lack in any particular direction.

The whole reason for that "Humph!" kind of parental disapproval is to get you to spin out about it. Once you don't, well, they don't *stop*, but they stop acting it out so much.
