So weird to say this but The Shining.

The movie was never that scary to me until I was pregnant and had children. Just like that, it became super creepy and almost too much to watch.

AITA for refusing to call my coworker by his preferred nicknames?

My coworker “Andy” just returned after a hiatus due to unprofessional behavior. He seems happier and hopefully more calm. He asked us to start calling him “Drew” and I straight refused. I mean the guy has so many nicknames for himself and everyone. So annoying. So, am I the AH for refusing to call him Drew?

(hint: I’m firmly on the side the AH here. Just call him Drew, Big Tuna.)

It should be called “the ruse” because it will never stay that way. Lies!

This could totally go in the confusing perspective sub. It took far too long for my brain to understand what I was looking at.

The Whopper is my favorite burger anywhere. And I totally understand how people can argue with me. But the chargrilled burger mixed with the PERFECT ratio of ketchup and mayo. Perfection.

My mom stressed like crazy the last time she came to visit us in Topeka thinking we were going to get slammed by tornadoes. Like couldn’t sleep. Brought prep supplies. Not a tornado in sight. The weather can be cranky at times, but not worth cancelling over. Don’t cancel due to fear. Come. Enjoy yourself!

James Cordon is widely rumored to be a real dick. She may have been reacting to his general dickishness. Or she might be an asshat too.

I thought Carrie Underwood was a huge beyotch after watching her on Carpool Karaoke. She was so aloof and seemed miserable. Turns out she wasn’t the biggest beyotch in the car after all.

I’m a big fan of Theodore Roosevelt. I’ll take that one.

My oldest didn’t want the tooth fairy to come and take his teeth. It was like a huge win for the tooth fairy really!

I got to see the last full Fleetwood Mac tour. Lindsay’s been kicked out for now and Christine has gone to the rock concert in the sky. It was glorious.

I was reminded the other day that Taye Diggs is stunningly beautiful.

I want to sing the song about Cebus but I fear no one will understand. A little boy had three Cebus.

She posts on Topeka, My Dudes on Facebook from time to time. I have the same question. I think she just does it for funsies.

It truly is. I just happened upon the first one at a used bookstore and decided to pick it up. Now I’m like a Roosevelt groupie. Can’t get enough about the whole clan.

Awesomeness! Thanks for the recommendation!

In the same vein - Senorita is…awful

Not true

I just have to say how much I love that a scientific dermatology journal clarified this fact.

Theodore Roosevelt (he hated being called Teddy) is like a past version of Ron Swanson.

So fascinating. I could talk about him for hours. I’ll never not recommend Edmund Morris’ trilogy biography of him. Well well well worth it.

Phew - I was worried I was the only one.

They had a breakfast buffet with a SALAD BAR. For a non breakfast person like me surrounded at all times by breakfast eaters, it was like manna from heaven.

You’re not real man!

Use a flat head screwdriver to help you either push the tabs to the side or pull the tray down.

Why did I read that? Why did my stupid brain have to be so curious?

It’s so easy to pass judgment but I can say as a parent that it can happen so easily. My husband and I were bringing in groceries. The baby was asleep in her car seat so we left her there. I figured he saw her and would get her when he was done. When he came in, I noticed that he was going through the motions of getting settled, taking shoes off, getting ready to sit down. Thankfully, I knew she was out there and knew that he hadn’t brought her in. She was only in the car for 2-3 minutes. But in a second, our lives could have ended up like this. He assumed I had her. I assumed he had her. Split second decisions.
