I see you cut your own bangs the morning of your school picture, to the horror of your mother, unlike no one I personally know or am.

I usually forgot to tell anyone about picture day, making it a very exciting moment for all involved as I wandered out of the house wearing Spider Man pajamas and my hair serving as shelter for several small birds.

Like Calvin in Calvin & Hobbes. Have you seen the series about school pictures? Hilarious!

My son has a school picture where he (a) had eaten blueberries for breakfast; (b) apparently ate them by lying on the floor and dropping them on his face; (c) did a crap job of brushing his teeth; and (d) arranged his hair so he looked like a conehead. I bought them all. Thirty years later, they still make me snort elegantly. Mornings were hectic back then.

I had a high school ID where I wore plastic vampire fangs. 🦇

I can't believe how many people have recommended this show to me...or possibly, just one person multiple times. Ugh. 2 episodes sent me in search of a time machine to reclaim 44 minutes wasted (or however long two episodes are).

I enjoyed the first season, but lost interest after that. Also, as a vengeful old lady my own self, I thought those women weren't nearly enraged enough.

"How I Met You Mother" I'll come back later, when I've stopped laughing at that typo, and tell you what I think of G&F.

You had a TED Talk?

I'm not a big fan of either Fonda or Tomlin, although Tomlin's Ernestine the telephone operator was hilarious. As for Hanoi Fonda, I liked her in "The Electric Horseman." And I liked them both in "Nine To Five," although I watched that movie because of Dolly Parton. But "Grace & Frankie" ? I have no interest in watching those two old hens trying to be cute.
