Just When I Start Feeling Sorry For Myself Again.
I saw this on the front page this morning and was floored. We ate ground beef all the time growing up, but now we buy it once in a blue moon--and then it's from a supplier at our farmers' market. I just don't understand how it's okay to feed shit (honest-to-goodness shit!) to people. And the big companies don't care. Gah. Ammonia-soaked mash? No thank you.

Changing Your Name When You Get Married.
My cousin's wife didn't take his last name when they got married in the late 90s. Hoo-boy did that cause a rift when grandma asked everyone at the breakfast table (cousin and fiancee were not there) what the point of getting married was if the woman didn't take the husband's last name. Aunt and uncle were not amused.

Passive-Aggressive Note?.
According to our neighbors, the previous owners of our home used to run screaming out of the house to yell at people who let their dogs pee on the tree lawn, that strip between the sidewalk and the street. That's just insane.
But I never let my dog pee on people's garden plants, and he's usually doing #1 on trees or the fire hydrant. #2 usually happens in the tree lawn, too. Too bad I don't live in your neighborhoods, right?
Oh, and I hate retractable leashes. Those things are of the devil.
