I bought my spouse a Slurpee machine and we have one daily!

I once leased a cow for the summer and we went to Switzerland to visit her and bring home a lot of cheese.

I have been to Switzerland three times because my in laws lived there for awhile but never to visit a cow! I have definitely missed out!

frequently make up songs to sing to my cat about things he enjoys, like breakfast

I am going to bookmark this and show to DH the next time he catches me singing a song to the cat (usually the song is about how handsome the cat is)

I am 50 and do not understand all the plastic surgery and dermatology jargon on the beauty and fashion thread. I just have a little tub of moisturizer from Trader Joes.

I eat 3 meals and many snacks every day. I don't know really know what macros are. I've never been to a gym.

My kids never played an organized sport and they always had access to junk food. I don't think either of them has ever even watched a sport. They are in their 20s and did not turn out overweight.

(yes, someone did post that they thought this was trashy, and others agreed)

Me too! And big ones - 1/2 ct, old mine cut, buttercup. European, love bling, especially antique one.

I have no kids and don't live in the DMV but I spend about 26 hours per day on DCUM

I think organic food is a huge, hilarious scam

I fly basic economy always - including to Asia, South Africa and Australia.

I give cash as gifts to everyone for every occasion unless they say "no gifts" in which case -- surprise! -- I don't bring a gift.

At Stanford, she had a 3.99 GPA and won the top Academic All American Athlete award for the whole country. That's super impressive considering the amount of swimming she was doing at the same time.

I notice that she also doesn't wear diamond studs in the daytime.

The hell she doesn't!

What are those? They look like opal studs.

They look like rose cut diamonds to me

Oh, do tell...

Reckless abandon. It was amazing, dangerous and would do it again in a heartbeat

How is it dangerous? Why did you pick the 20something?

No protection and he was hot and hung and firm.

This sounds like what every average college age female would do. Unless you are 45 and married, this is NBD.
