Why doesn't Costco open earlier than 10AM?!
didn't it used to have special earlier hours for their Executive-level memberships? or maybe those are the earlier hours. - edythe

My alcoholic and abusive father left and divorced my mother when I was 11...I haven't see him in over 25 years. I grew up poor since he refused to pay child support. Now I hear that my mother is considering remarrying him. I'm speechless...
whut? - Mary Carmen
also, did you find your phone yet? - Mary Carmen
Again...I'm speechless...oh and had to get a new phone...still trying to get all the contacts back in - furrworld
Oh my, I wouldn't know how to react either, though I am sure it would be negative. - Friar Will (:^)
Yea me and my brother are just like there are no words right now... - furrworld

:( - Anne Bouey
At least you're an adult. My parents, who divorced when I was 8 would still hook up from time to time and at one point mom moved back in. She left us with my drunk father. It confused and infuriated me. I have no love for my mother to this day. That warm fuzzy feeling you're supposed to have for mom, NOPE. - G Dub of the Carolinas
I guess...I kinda feel like that lost kid I was at 12 again you know the kid who just shows up at the neighbors house at dinner time hoping they will have some pity and feed you cause your drunk dad took off and your mom is too busy partying all the time to even remember she has kids...ok I'm bitter. I said it. - furrworld
dude, if she wants to fuck up the remainder of her life, let her. you don't have to be a part of it. if she doesn't realize what she is doing or how it hurts others, she never will. can't change her. - Mary Carmen
I can't be a part of it and neither will my brother. - furrworld
Well there you go. Just imagine how much less complicated life will be now that you don't have to worry about her. I know it sounds harsh, but she is making a decision that has some serious consequences. - Mary Carmen
She's the only mother I got even if she is a sucky one..I will always worry about her. Classic child of an alcoholic. - furrworld
Sorry I didn't mean to minimize what you're going through I think the main point was going for was I can relate. - G Dub of the Carolinas
@g dub you didn't no worries. It's sad so many people can relate to this. I appreciated your comments. :) - furrworld

This will be an absolutely and obscenely unpopular comment, and I mean no disrespect to you, but they're living their lives. They're just two kids in love. Like the rest of us. Take the alcohol out of the equation (and, yes, I know you can't) and it's suddenly not a thing. I'm a kid and I'm a parent; I understand the absolute disconnect that occurs when children start viewing you as a... more... - Akiva
I was thinking the same thing. Love does make people do irrational things, but then again, love isn't everything, which is something that people don't realize. Especially when you are a parent, and someone has done your child wrong, then love goes out the window. However, not everyone thinks like me, so this is when you get a scenario like this one. - Shevonne
What Shevonne just typed. I'm terrified of Rochelle's fiancé. He's going to be in control of my children. I don't at all like the feeling of powerlessness. I'm absolutely desperate trying to see him as a good father and goddamn him if all of the evidence points to yes, that he's a good father, a good man. I want to hate him for stupid reasons but I can't. I need him to be my best friend... more... - Akiva
The hardest thing to do is realize your parents are people. Furworld, bounce that thought back and forth. Compassion for the failed person and disassociation with the parent part. - Janet-The Bottley Crue
As much as I would like to say they are 2 crazy kids wanting to be together I will never get the memory of my drunk father viciously beating my mother in front of me when I was a child...not a smack...pounding her with his closed fists...that's not love and that's a big reason why I wont have anything todo with it. - furrworld
I'm so sorry. I know this is something very hard for you. - Shevonne
Wow, i'm sorry - SteVe C
Knowing a lot of the backstory of this, I can say that this is not love. It is probably loneliness on both their parts. If I had to wager, I'd say more on your mom's part than your father's. You have to let your mom make her choice, just like she will have to accept the repercussions of those choices. Nothing I know of your dad makes me think he understands or comprehends what love... more... - Mary Carmen

"Have you ever noticed how crowded restaurants are on Valentine's Day? Every table is a two-top, the menus are often fixed, and the staff frantically busy. After several misfires over the last few years, I've given up with going out that night, and instead focus on lovely dishes we can make at home.

The Greatest Love of All - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
""The Greatest Love of All" is a song written by Michael Masser and Linda Creed and originally recorded by George Benson for the 1977 Muhammad Ali biopic The Greatest. The song was later popularized by Whitney Houston. Creed wrote the lyrics in the midst of her struggle with breast cancer. The words describe her feelings about coping with great challenges that one must face in life, being strong during those challenges whether you succeed or fail, and passing that strength on to children to carry with them into their adult lives. Creed eventually succumbed to the disease in April 1986 at the age of 36; at the time her song was an international hit by Whitney Houston" - edythe from Bookmarklet

DIY Scratch-Off Valentines
"Making scratch-off paint is easy; just mix 2 parts acrylic paint to 1 part dish soap. Go ahead and print out the card or get the Polaroid photo you want to cover ready. Tape off portions of the card that don't need the paint or just use a stencil to make sure your scratch-off paint is only applied where you want. Let the paint dry, and you'll probably need to add a second coat to completely cover your message or photo. This method makes for a cute valentine—if you need a creative way to say ‘I Love You' consider giving it a try.

Plan Your Next Road Trip with The Ingenious US Interstates Subway Map - http://lifehacker.com/5884012...
Plan Your Next Road Trip with The Ingenious US Interstates Subway Map
"The U.S. Interstates as a Subway Map infographic is a subway-style map of America's interstate highways, and it's pretty handy for quickly planning a cross-country trip. You can see at a glance how the highways connect and the major cities along the way. Although the map's lines aren't geographically precise, for planning a trip, this design by Cameron Booth may work even better than traditional maps' more accurate road representations. For example, if you're driving from Teaneck, NJ to San Francisco, CA you already know you're going west so all you need to find is that straight red line for I-80 cutting across the map. Also really useful are the map's circles representing the cities along the way—"stops," if you will, and "transfers" for other highways." - edythe from Bookmarklet

I got threatened with arrest today for taking out my trash.
Apparently, Deutsche Bahn employees really, really, really don't like it when the general public uses their trash bins for recycling. - Cristal Blue Persuasion
As we don't have paper recycling bins in our apartment complex, it was suggested, when I first got here, that we use the bins at the Regional/S-bahn stop across the street from where I live to recycle our paper stuffs. - Cristal Blue Persuasion
Today, I got accosted by one of the DB peeps, who, from what I could (barely) make out, asked if I was going to throw my trash in the bin, that I was not allowed to, and, would call the police if I attempted to do so. I said that I wasn't and walked away, with the guy yelling after me as I was doing so. - Cristal Blue Persuasion
Yeah, it was rude, but y'know, it's -20 C, I'm trying to get my errands done, and threatening me with arrest for my attempts to help the environment, in the gotdamb cold, is NOT the way to influence my way of thinking. - Cristal Blue Persuasion
I came home and told hubs we either find another place to recycle the paper stuffs, or we stop separating the paper out from the rest of the trash. I am NOT having this. - Cristal Blue Persuasion
Yikes! - Melly Botts
Eek! - Helensleydale
Should've moved to Ireland. If you were in Ireland, they probably would've asked you what time they could pick it up to recycle it for you. - Bubba Botts

That's weird. I wouldn't worry about arrest, just a rude SOB. - Eric

Here, some towns have mandatory recycling, and some towns don't. People living in the towns that don't, that care about the environment and are willing to go out of their way to dispose of their stuff properly, usually find a nearby town that does and then cart their recycleables to that town's Department of Public Works recycling yard. They never ask you to prove you are a resident before taking your stuff, they just assume you are. Maybe this is an option where you live? - April

What You Should Do with Your Extra Money
"If you have "extra" money, use the 10 Year Savings Strategy. If you have extra money, use the 10 Year Savings Strategy to save for predictable expenses in the next 10 years (wedding, kids, house, etc). Set up specific sub-savings accounts for each of these items. (Interesting sidenote: I surveyed people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, asking them what they wish they'd saved for 10 years ago. Here are the actual results [http://www.slideshare.net/ramit...], but in short: People in their 20s wish they'd saved for travel. People in their 30s wish they'd saved for buying a house. And people in their 40s wish they'd saved for retirement.)" - edythe from Bookmarklet

Buffy getting an abortion: Joss Whedon on the big decision -- EXCLUSIVE | Shelf Life | EW.com
Whedon: "You know, things like Secret Life [of an American Teenager] and Juno and Knocked Up – even if they pretend to deal with abortion, the movies don’t even say the word “abortion.” It’s something that over a third of American women are going to decide to have to do in their lives. But people are so terrified that no one will discuss the reality of it — not no one, but very few popular entertainments, even when they say they’re dealing with this issue, they don’t, and won’t. It’s frustrating to me. I don’t think Buffy should have a baby. I don’t think Buffy can take care of a baby. I agree with Buffy. It’s a very difficult decision for her, but she made a decision that so many people make and it’s such a hot button issue with Planned Parenthood under constant threat and attack right now. A woman’s right to choose is under attack as much as it’s ever been, and that’s a terrible and dangerous thing for this country.

Buffy's choice: Joss Whedon gets political [and Buffy gets preganant]
"Voices arguing for a woman's right to choose in America's anguished debate over abortion have discovered an unexpected ally: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The new issue of the Buffy comics, published on Thursday in the US, sees the Chosen One taking some time off from staking vampires through the heart to deal with what publisher Dark Horse called "a rather personal problem". Season nine continues, after issue five's cliffhanger revelation that the Slayer was pregnant, with Buffy deciding what to do about the unwanted pregnancy – the result of a drunken night at a party. Eventually she decides to have an abortion." - edythe from Bookmarklet

feels weird that fat was considered enough of an insult that lagerfeld felt the need to apologize and jezebel called him out as though he said she was a bitch. i mean, adele certainly isn't a slim chick. and while we all struggle with language and the baggage that comes with it, we should pause to remember that fat is a descriptor. it shouldn't be used as a value judgement. - tiffany
I'm not sure if Lagerfeld's comment was really just a descriptor, Tiffany, at least not as it appeared in the Metro (which his apology suggests was edited to the point that the context became confused). He's making a comparison between two singers, but the bulk of his comments have to do with physical appearance as opposed to musical talent (the other singer, Lana del Rey, is discussed... more... - Soup in a TARDIS
wow. thanks for all that back story, soup. all i knew was from that jezebel post, where it said he called her "too fat." - edythe
Soup, just for my own strange curiosity, do you have a source on the Lady Gaga quote? I can't find anything she's said beyond articles refuting that claim. I've heard that there were obsessive fans making inappropriate comments about her weight and other things on Twitter when Adele was winning more success, but it seems like in reality the two are friendly and that was all generated by Tumblr drama. - joey
@Joey, I'm having trouble finding an exact quote but in trying to track it down I've found a few (unconfirmed) reports that much of what Lady Gaga said about Adele's weight was made up and spread through .gifs, which perhaps was the tumblr drama you referenced. If so, my apologies to Lady Gaga and her fans (gagaites? gagans? do they have a collective name?). @edythe, Lagerfeld's... more... - Soup in a TARDIS
Well she is fat that is the truth surely you cannot call her skinny, but the point is being fat should not be considered as a negative point unless you're a GP and talking about health issues. In that case being skinny as bad as being fat. By hushing everyone cannot change the discriminante mindset, should make it clear that people have different body shapes and body mass and that is absolutely normal and acceptable - Nemo
Soup, yeah, what I had seen was that people made animated gifs from a Lady Gaga interview with Anderson Cooper and made up the quote and then passed it around Tumblr with a fake response from Adele...the whole thing is so bizarre and the idea that people on the Internet are creating these false feuds with things never said and then having fan wars is just so morbidly fascinating to me... more... - joey
There is something slightly arresting about the idea of fans manufacturing a feud, even down to the point of falsely attributing direct quotes. It makes me wonder if at some point we'll get rid of actual celebrities altogether and instead people will just fan a loose but generally cohesive collections of ideas, values, and preferences. Clearly the individual celebrities actions, words,... more... - Soup in a TARDIS
Hah. Indeed. - joey
Lagerfeld's comment was that Adele was "a little too fat". That goes beyond being a simple descriptor and wanders into judgment territory. But this comes from a guy who seems to think any woman with a waist over 26" is plus size, so there you go. - vicster
@vicster I was going to say that. I guess the reason it made news cause it was Adele, but he has been calling everyone fat for the longest time. - Shevonne
He didn't apologize for judging her about her weight. He apologized for calling her fat. and our reading of fat as an insult - both Lagerfeld's and ours in this thread - is problematic to me. I admit that its a subtle difference. - tiffany from Android

What We Can Learn From Old Animals - NYTimes.com
"It is not hard to argue that we live in a youth-centric culture, one in which young age and beauty are almost synonymous. And that obsession does not end with humans. Puppies and kittens melt hearts; images and videos of baby animals flood the Internet. But rarely does an image of an animal in old age ignite the same interest and adoration. In an unusual project, Isa Leshko, a fine-art photographer who lives in Philadelphia, set out to capture glimpses of animals at a time when they rarely attract much admiration or media attention — in their twilight years. The photographs, part of a series called “Elderly Animals”, are intimate and at times gripping. In one, a thoroughbred horse named Handsome One, age 33, stands in a stable, his hair wispy and his frame showing signs of time. In another, a pair of Finn sheep at the advanced age of 12 embrace as an elderly couple on a park bench might. And in another, a geriatric chow mix named Red lies with his paw under his chin, the signs of glaucoma apparent in his onyx-colored eyes." - edythe from Bookmarklet
"“On a personal level, I’ve been terrified of aging after dealing with my mother’s situation,” Ms. Leshko said. “My grandmother on my mother’s side also had dementia. I’m terrified of developing this disease.
