I thought the word would have been 'authentic' or 'authenticity'. It was so prevalent in so many comments by famous people that I wanted to scream. Now, 'slop'? I never would have picked that word. Not in a million years.

When I lived in Massachusetts we lived next to a golf course. This was in 1960. Our backyard abutted the wooded and wet land that had a winding stream on it. It meandered back and forth in a tight configuration. A small barbed wire fence split the 2 properties but there was a good 3 foot opening under the wire that my brother and I easily ducked under. We were walking around in the stream and the sandy soil. Wild ferns, tiny pine cones, green little fish and turtle eggs looking like golf balls lay partially hidden on the banks of the stream. And quicksand, which my brother sank into. A large uprooted tree lay nearby. I watched him sink into the quicksand and my childish brain hoped he would sink lower and lower until only a dead hand raised in supplication to the sky with no one to save him would remain. No such luck. He yelled for me to go get help. I just watched and waited. After all, this was my tormentor, the one who enjoyed punching me. Maybe karma would come calling today? Nope. He grabbed a tree root and very slowly pulled himself out of the quicksand. bah

White - one of the hardest colors to wear. Stains stand out the most on white. Just a drop of color draws the eye to it. White is associated with weddings. It shows off dog and cat hair way too well. It shows dirt on hems that you can't hide. White clothing carries a higher stress level from the wearer's concern for stains and blemishes, etc. White coloring is just too much trouble for every day wear.

Looks like she's expecting.

In all my years I have never had gingerbread do what I want it to do. It crumbles, it splits, it sags!!! It won't stand up or stick. It's too soft or hard as a brick. I have never had a gingerbread house stand and stay as a "house". I put jello at the top of my food list of items I deeply dislike. Gingerbread is #2. You want gingerbread cookies? I can do that! You want a house? Leave. grrr

I hope they gave it a rabies vaccination before releasing it.

I'm always amazed with people who find a cache of gold/silver coins and they announce it to the world. All that does is bring in the weezils wanting to claim them for their own. "Oh, these coins? They've been in my family for decades, maybe longer." Put them up for auction if need be. Historians would be interested, obviously. Although in some countries like the UK you need to declare your findings and the gov't wants to take a bit.

They aren't Christmas songs since they have nothing to do with Christmas. They should be called holiday songs.

Nope. Only in my nightmares..

They forgot to remove the dark blue painter's tape covering all the molding on the walls and doorways!I would spend tons of money repainting the walls and ceilings a white or off white color, maybe a light gray. The floors are very pretty without all that blue paint. But the rooms are so big they don't give off a cozy "I'm home!" vibe. More like "Hello? Is anyone there?" vibe. Definitely not worth 3 million when you add up all the repair bills. And that lawn?! sheesh

I don't like this list at all.

I like Mr Del Toro's movies but - as a boomer, perhaps? - I grow weary of trying to watch movies that are so dark that I can't really make out what's going on in some scenes and I cannot appreciate the sets and scenery when it's so dark. I understand that darkness creates a spooky atmosphere but come on! 2 or 3 shades lighter might make all the difference for some movies.
