CD's that didn't include the lyrics were the worst
My mom took my booklet for my Alanis CD. After she found out about the dirty stuff, she let me keep listening but said at least I won't be reading the bad words. I aspire to be half the mom my mom was, but that was a strange one.
I've been trying all morning to win tickets from a radio show. They're having a giveaway every 30 minutes... I've been dialing and redialing as I am cleaning the house, but only getting busy signals.
On my most recent try, I fucking got through... yes!!!!!! But it ended up being my husband. I must have accidentally hit his number instead of the stations without realizing it. He is at work and was very surprised to hear from me. I played it off like I meant to call him.
I let DD watch a Christmas movie last night. It was the Polar Express. I used to work retail and I get annoyed at stores getting ready for Christmas before Thanksgiving...I feel like such a hypocrite.
I am actually laughing at the idea of someone in Disney World receiving a picture of a blonde girl crying with an attached email, "I am applying for the job of Quasimodo."
Maybe I should really do that this week to cheer myself up.
An Ambassador position in NY. "Our Ambassadors represent the New Amsterdam Theater and Disney on Broadway to walk-up guests interested in purchasing tickets to Aladdin or Lion King on Broadway."
I think it would only make the guests feel more excited to buy tickets if approached by quasimodo.

We've watched it a few times recently too. Why do kids like this movie? It's creepy. Uncanny valley AF! The vagrant on the top of the train is threatening, those guys driving the train look like the hitch hiking ghosts from Disney, that part with the puppets was lifted from Tim Burton's fever dreams...

My mom did this with the TLC CrazySexyCool CD. I told her go ahead, I already had it all memorized.

lol this reminds me of something that happened to me the other day. A guy called my cell phone and when I answered he said he wanted to request a song. He obviously had the wrong #. He got really flustered and embarrassed and I considered for a brief second just pretending it was the radio station because I felt so embarrassed for him.
Hahaha! It's 2016. You would think grown ass adults can do a simple task like call a radio station correctly. And yet...
I adore her but my kid is so annoying. Not in the cute curious way. She's all up in your space and gets way too personal. She's the type of kid that would take someone's hat of their head just to be a dick. Did I mention I adore her?

When my H and I first started dating he smoked cigarettes. He had gone outside to smoke and didn't realize the windows were open. He let out the LOUDEST fart I have ever heard. One that you just knew he was holding in for awhile because we were definitely not at that point yet. When he came back in and saw my face you could see him calculating the situation. Girlfriend in tears from laughing + open window = whoops
People are often not really prepared for the level of questions he will ask. Like it's really intense and the questions are hard as fuck to answer, like things people just do not fucking know off the top of their heads. My aunt and cousin are notorious for being like "I literally have no idea what the answer to that is".
Like what happens when something goes into a black hole or where is the nearest black hole to Earth and what kind of atmosphere is on Jupiter and things that are like... typically not standard discussion fare.
Shit.
Our kids are the same age and I don't think DD knows any of those words so color me impressed.
She usually just asks me things like "what do unicorns eat?"
Maybe I don't need that college savings plan after al...
When we first got aol/internet when I was a pre-teen I got online and found all of the lyrics to every song for my then favorite bands (Smashing Pumpkins and Nine Inch Nails). I printed them all. Pages and pages. I turned them into lyric books. I probably used all of the printer ink. My mom was so mad. I'm very WTF to myself that I thought that would be okay. I think I still have the lyric books in a bin in our storage room.

Also that Hot Chocolate "song" almost ruins Tom Hanks.
I pooped the bed once. I was 9 months pregnant and had the worst stomach flu of my life. When I woke up, I almost woke up MH because I thought it was blood or something and the beginnings of labor. THANK GOD I quickly realized it was just shit and got out of bed ASAP before MH knew what was even happening.
BUT YOU LEFT HIM THERE TO FIND THE SHIT AND THINK HE WAS THE ONE WHO POOPED?!?
My h and I want to take a vacation. At this point, we don't care what the destination is, as long as there is a really good babysitting service, since vacationing without them isn't an option.
I don't know my feelings on a SO shitting the bed. I mean it's a given I'd be utterly horrified, but I cannot really imagine this happening unless there was an underlying problem like illness or drinking or drugs or something. I think the shit would be secondary to my concern with the main problem.
I enjoy that HE, who is one of the most opinionated people I know, is conflicted on how to feel about a SO shitting the bed. I know what you mean, it's just making me laugh that this is giving you pause.

A retro, radio-inspired confession: on 90s summer my brother and I and some friends spent an afternoon repeat calling a radio stsation requesting the same TLC song over and over again while eating junk food.

We watched it when DS was like 2. First time either DH or I had seen it and we agreed it was creepy as hell and we wouldn't see it again.

I had never seen this movie or read the book until I was an adult. This movie makes my heart so happy. I literally can't contain myself when we watch it. So naturally I don't fight it when DD wants to watch it every night from the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas.
You just gave me an instant stress headache. I hope you're happy.

Who requests songs anymore? Get that man a Spotify.

My DD is 3, so I think her thought process was "Oooh, I found a movie about a train!". Honestly, I should have known better, but didn't feel like fighting. I would honestly be ok if they just skipped from the hot chocolate song to the part where they get to the North Pole. I wonder if she would notice if I did that, next time we watch it.
I know Larry happened. Please do not try to convince me otherwise. Please don't talk to me about coffee. I don't drink it. I don't caffeine. When I state my opinion, that is me chiming in on a topic. This is not me saying you suck at life if you do or feel differently. If I want to say that, I will. If I want to speak on you, I will.

Oh we are doing poop?
My name is Helenahhandbasket and I am a stand up wiper.
It all started when I was young, as I come from a very long line of stand up wipers.
Yesterday I pooped at work and stood up (as per) but I guess I misjudged how close I was to being "finished" so needless to say I wound up having to use 3 metric tons of toilet paper and wiped my butt until it hurt. I also flushed no less than 183 times, to get rid of all of that TP.
BUT YOU LEFT HIM THERE TO FIND THE SHIT AND THINK HE WAS THE ONE WHO POOPED?!?
Dear god no. What kind of a monster do you think I am?! By "before he even knew what was happening" I mean I jumped up grabbed the pregnancy pillow I had just shit all over and ran to the bathroom to clean myself up. Not I woke up MH, acted horrified, and tricked him in to thinking he was the pooper.
this was really a missed opportunity. I'm belly laughing.
