I was really crushing on a coworker until he came in wearing a magenta suit looking straight out of the Steve Harvey collection. Immediately no. Any ounce of thirst dried completely up. Cuz where are you going and why was that in your closet????

My kid was in town this last week to “check on my old people” (not me, my mama nem). We didn’t do a lot while she was here but it was so good to see her every evening & just be in her presence. I almost cried when I dropped her off at the airport but she looked at me like

I hate that you can’t livestream TCM or that they don’t have a standalone app. The “channel” they have on HBOMax or Max or whatever it is now shows the “classics” but not our classics.
