Sweetie, I'm nearly 50 and I feel exactly the same way. We're all trapped.
"It's probably a bad idea to call the Dowager Countess a "chicken lady" but really funny all the same."
I agree. She much more closely resembles a chihuahua.
He doesn't seem to realize they ARE home.
We served "mutilated monkey meat, chopped-up baby parakeet".
Please tell me "Almost Heaven" Meth Virginia is still number three.
It made me think of the tongaroom.com
As your unofficial WV correspondent, I would guess he was probably ignored because every single one of our relatives has been trying to get our attention with their (real and imagined) sicknesses for years. Those shoppers were just suffering from empathy fatigue and needed something pretty. And cheap. Before you get it.
Here's my favorite WV-based university in(fighting)-joke:
If you see a guy wearing a Marshall University hat, you can bet he went to Marshall. If you see a guy in a WVU hat, you can bet he went to Wal-Mart.

I believe any unauthorised gathering in Oakland is considered potentially incendiary.
That's where I live...Huntington. It's true, and it is indeed heartbreaking.
Is a tomato confit permissible?
I like to joke/brag/bluster about living in WV. But seriously, the number of obese children I see on any given day is staggering. It's incredibly sad to see them out with their parents, cramming terrible food into their shopping carts. They don't know how to eat well, and they don't care to learn.
I'm also a couple of generations ahead of the college kids at my work, and some of them have no idea how to prepare any food that doesn't come from opening a bag or can. Their mothers fed them from bags, and that's all they know. They're all fat and don't care. *sigh*
Clothes come in every size.

How about just two fucking carrots?
Do we own the same place?
In the Big City--Huntington. But Charleston is nice-ish too.
I would like to invite you all to come to WV. We've weathered the economic downturn because we're still waiting for some kind of upturn. We have tons of jobs just waiting for anyone with half a brain, as most of our citizens have no brains at all, or are in some other way disabled and incapable of working. You may have your choice of positions, from professional management to burger flipper. Anyone in the medical field can write their own checks, because our medical professionals are dying from prescription drug addiction or obesity and the entire state is on Pills. If you will keep your job longer than 3 hours-1 day and not claim disability from "mental anguish", you are a shoe-in.
Seriously, my husband was fired two weeks ago. He works in environmental science and has seven years of experience. He is definitely middle aged, as both he and I spent our younger years trying to become rock stars instead of starting IRA's. He has an undergrad in history (+4 useless), and a Master's in Environmental Science from an in-state university. He's sent out three resumes, had two interviews and two job offers (third interview next week). He hasn't even gotten his first unemployment payment.
You can buy a nice house in a nice neighborhood for 120K. For 250k, you can have an awesome house in an awesome 'hood and fire rockets and cannons from your back deck without attracting the attention of the police (refer to an earlier post of mine). Taxes and utilities and cigarettes and gas are relatively cheap. Come on in; the job-hunting is fine.

Re: all the oblivious headphone-wearing rappers and singers: I like to walk right up to them and shout, "WE CAN HEAR YOU!". I guess that makes me classless too for yelling in public, but at least they rip out the earbuds long enough to grunt, "What?".
They allegedly just outlawed "bath salts" here in WV, but these jackasses are still finding them online and at smaller stores that are flying under the radar of the po-leece. Judging from his skin, he's smoking meth too. That, your granny can cook up.
I can absolutely vouch for the fact that you can shoot a firearm (several) or a large mortar (depending on the occasion) within city limits of Charleston, WV, and as long as you paid at least 250K for your house and your neighbors don't complain, it's all good. Of course, we all wear suits and dresses, and hold glasses of Veuve Cliquot while doing so. But we still do it. U.S.A.!
