Sadly, I'm feeling like "screw Thanksgiving...Let's have Festivus instead." Not feeling blessed or thankful. So dumb that my mom, who doesn't Cook with a capital C is making a big dumb turkey for three people that eat together always. But she's happy that she learned how, so, there I'll be, faking it again.. still not as bad as sitting in a state meeting while some idiot who never heard of irony is all "so, Erika, tell me what you hate," and I think "This. Right here,"(Possibly you.) ETA: Yeah, Jen. Can relate.
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.

chex mix: another thing I hate about lack of power in life is that I always sound like some elderly Holden Caulfield pissed off about phonies...once you hit fifty? That doesn't seem cute.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Now tagless for your comfort.
My high school’s football team made it to the state championship game.
I got a FB message request with info about a private tailgate party, which I “liked” but didn’t plan on attending, for a variety of reasons.
Then I was promptly removed from the group by the woman who sent the invite. Guess I am not welcome.
WTF, people???

Our wings are not tired.
Wow, Cashmere! I'm speechless.

She was never my favorite person but I busted my ass on our class reunion.
Maybe she just thought I wouldn’t travel. But she could have given me a chance to respond.
Whatevs.
