I have purchased 10 or so canvas bags for about .50–.99 cents from Goodwill over the course of several years. They are almost all new, mostly from pledge drives for public radio/tv/arts centers, and they show no sign of wear and tear—after, like, 20 years—and are WAYYYY better than the "reusable" crap most grocery stores hawk. I keep one in my purse (for clothes shopping, makeup at the drug store, etc), one strapped to my bike, a few in the car and a few in the kitchen. Maybe twice a year I get to the store and realize I forgot a bag.

Honestly, it's amazing to me that people can't go to Goodwill, drop $3 (or more), and have 3 (or more) canvas bags for the rest of their life.

Those kids are probably screwed up for life, carrying their own f-ed up perversions (in a bad way) and gender roles into adulthood. The father should be locked up forever.
Nov 20 mitten commented on SL Letter of the Day: Hot & Drunk.
One word: Run.

Anyone whose tried to make it work with an alcoholic will say the same thing: Run. Unless you want to be a babysitter for the rest of your life, because it never ends, run. Unless you want to watch a cute 22-yo turn into the inevitable ugly drunkard at the bar, run. Unless you want to go to Al-Anon, therapy, counseling, rehab, hospitals—and this is just for him, hopefully he won't grow into a physical, mean drunk and beat you up—run. Unless you want to keep alcohol out of the house and your own life, and befriend and socialize only with sober people because his sobriety (if you're lucky and he sobers up) will become the focus of both your lives, run.

Someone gave me the same advice once, and taking it, without hesitation, after years trying to make it work with a wonderful, sweet, sexy alcoholic, was a decision I frequently breathe a sigh of relief for.

Nov 20 mitten commented on I Hate You, Garrison Keillor.
It's not that his opinion is so horrible—everyone is free to appreciate and emote about whatever kind of art floats their boat. But his dismissal of any other kind of art, complete with homophobic and sexist put-downs, is lowbrow and ignorant. He comes off as repulsive, rather than "humorous."

Perfectly put, Dan. If you hadn't used the F word, I'd forward this to my Grandmother, but unfortunately she has zero tolerance for bad language and would turn it off as soon as you got to that word and turn FOX news back on. Too bad.
Nov 18 mitten commented on "Let his days be few... Let his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.".
Am I missing something? Can someone please explain to me why the secret service quit working since Obama became president? Seriously, I thought shit way less inflammatory than this was illegal, or at least enough to get you a visit for the secret service.

Totally uncool. That "moderator" is clearly a complete tool.
Nov 17 mitten commented on Electric FAIL.
omg, that is PAINful to watch.

My boss makes me dance like a phony ass puppet half the time, too, so maybe it just hits a little too close to home.

What a kid! I'm in love! I have to watch it again so I can quote his most quotable lines for the rest of the day.
