LOL!! Oh how awesome to imagine that scene taking place.
I have sympathy. I was disappointed by the album too. I got a free download of one of the tracks from Starbucks which I did download, but the album sounds so depressing. I thought their holiday album would be fun and enjoyable, not sound like hipster funeral music. I expected much better from them.
I absolutely loved that show, but it did traumatize me somewhat. Like one episode when they exhumed the dude who had been poisoned by his wife and they showed the corpse after it had been buried for like 6 months or something! Totally creeped me out.
Oh I know! I really don't want to have to worry that some maniac will dig up my corpse and prop it up in some macabre party at his house. Definitely going for cremation here as well.
Great job! I did the lightning bolt across the face last year and it took forever to get it just the way I wanted!
It's no Skorpios, that's for sure!
Did anyone see the episode of QI where they taught how to pronounce his name properly?

My favorite Gap purchase wasn't even a clothing item, it was the Earth scented candle they had back in the 90s. I loved it.
She was on Big Love.
Ha! That's great. We had a regular who would always ask for extra hangers no matter what she bought. If she bought a baseball cap, she'd want like 5-10 hangers to go with it. We eventually discovered that she ran a vintage clothing store and we were basically supplying her with hangers for her own store. Yet even after we discovered this, we still gave her the hangers.
I worked at the Gap for 5 years back in the 90s and it was exactly as you described. We got ripped off constantly but we were never able to do anything about it.
I'm glad they finally at least made the return policy tighter. People would bring in jeans that were probably 8 years old, with no receipt, and were able to exchange them for a brand new pair back then. And the holiday returns were a joke. People would bring all sorts of stuff in to exchange. A few would rip out Gap tags from clothes they owned and then sew them into non-Gap clothes and bring them to our store to return. And we would accept clothes that were clearly never purchased at at Gap and give them store credit!

I agree with you about JT. I think he is a terrible actor and not very entertaining. He thinks he is way funnier than he really is.
I never had a case where that came up, but if the parent can prove it was prescribed by a physician, I don't think it would be a problem.
It would be similar to pain medications, I would think. If someone buys hydrocodone off the street and abuses it, that is a problem. If someone takes hydrocodone that is prescribed, that is not a problem. Now if it is prescribed but the parent is so high from the meds that they can't properly supervise the child, then it could be a potential issue. But lots of parents out there take medications so proving that the meds interfere with proper parenting would be difficult for CPS to prove.
CPS doesn't (or shouldn't) be trying to remove any kids due to a parent taking a medication that was prescribed by their doctor. And if CPS made an issue, a parent's attorney would have a very strong defense since the meds were prescribed.

I worked for CPS for several years. Parents are absolutely allowed to consume alcohol and keep it in their home. Drinking is legal, so it doesn't matter if it's during an investigation or not.
Unless the case has gone to court and the judge makes an order that no alcohol be kept in the home (like if there were concerns of substance abuse), having and/or consuming alcohol is fine. If some CPS worker is trying to remove a child because there is a 6 pack of Bud Light in the fridge then they are crazy, and would likely be laughed out of court when it appears before a judge.
Drinking while nursing? Not so good. Caring for young kids and getting bombed during the daytime, or showing up at school meetings reeking of alcohol? Not good.
So don't worry. If you have kids you are most certainly able to drink.

Wait, my tonsils were just like this! Huge and nasty and alwasy caused problems. They would get all inflamed and almost touch each other. I could barely swallow anything.
I had mine removed at 21, just like this guy. I had chronic strep throat and/or tonsilitis for about 3 years and then finally had the surgery. But then unfortunately I still had throat problems for the rest of my 20s, so if he is like me, his problems may not be over now even with the surgery.
I'm so sad now. I could have been a potential world record holder, even if it was for something disgusting. I feel so cheated!!

Seriously though, I'm always getting Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio mixed up.

I'm with you on this. Not terribly bothered by the price jump. What I pay per month is still a hell of a lot less than cable.
I got rid of cable about 5 years ago when I wanted to cut back on expenses. It was a big adjustment at the time, but there are now so many things to watch online (once I started looking I was amazed how much there is), and with Netflix, Redbox, and borrowing/trading DVDs I don't miss cable at all.
After several terribly experiences with my former cable company, I'm just thrilled to finally be able to spend my money someplace else!

Me too. Knots Landing was great. I miss seeing Abby Ewing act like such a bitch while wearing 5 pounds of eye makeup.
This comment is one of the funniest things I've read on Gawker in a long time. I burst out laughing. Excellent!
I've always thought that she looks like a troll. A decently attractive one, but still a troll. Does anyone actually like her?
