I get the same ad, surrounded by ads for Ebglyss, which treats eczema, a condition I do not have. The number of ads I get for Ebglyss should have given me eczema by now

My husband took their certification for his job (data analytics) & that's when I learned Amazon barely needs the revenue from Prime Video or website orders, they make it all off renting out their cloud. I'm an unemployed housewife who can't figure out the new remote

I was surprised by the friends who showed up for my mom's funeral, like "but they didn't even know her" until I realized "oh my god they're here for ME" & I will never forget who upended their schedule to come give me a hug on my worst day.

There's your problem, Disney invests too much in guest containment. Launch them into a souvenir shop & we'll talk

Watching Invasion of the Body Snatchers with my ex, yelling "kill her! she's an alien!" at the screen & he said "My god, even if you were an alien I would never kill you" and I burst out laughing because I realized it was the nicest thing he ever said to me (he is a very distant memory now)

I was a Hulu subscriber from the get-go, I've watched so many hours of it every week for 15+ years. I HATED having to cancel it. I don't even like Kimmel! But I can't support bowing to a fascist. If they can lose me, they can lose anybody.

With you all the way! Fall made me so depressed in Michigan. Since I was a kid I HATED winter, and fall was "impending winter." One thing that made it worse was people lecturing me about how I should feel differently; why just be depressed when I could also feel invalidated & alone

We got the "I really need that enamel pin set, 2 posters & a limited slipcover" edition in 4K because we are suckers. Luckily that film was WAY better than I remembered, or possibly ever knew?

An enamel pin set featuring themes from the 1976 classic horror film CARRIE

I need to look into this possible alternative to Only Taking The Cats To The Vet When They Feel Too Unwell To Fight Me

Also I don't think I ever saw the full De Palma cut of Carrie before?? That movie isn't just horror good, it's GOOD good! Cable robbed us of so much more than the boob scenes, it deflated the whole atmosphere.

Cute gal, I wonder if she's gonna make it in the biz

I watch horror flicks all year, but in October my husband volunteers to join me. This weekend we watched HOUSE OF THE DEVIL and Brian De Palma's original theatrical cut of CARRIE and he loved them both! God I married well, I really did.

I don't have a doorbell cam, but my neighbor does, which is why he stormed out with his macho buddies to beat me up for standing too close to his truck until he realized I had paused to let my 12 yr old dog sniff an interesting rock.

Paranoid idiots, all of them.

I lived a half block north of Detroit's famous 8 Mile & worked in Detroit for years, no major crimes whatsoever. I lived on 100 acres in rural North Branch MI & my 80 yr old neighbor was murdered & had her fingers cut off by her grandson's buddy who wanted to steal her jewelry.
