You're gettin' weirder, Facebook

Facebook still wants to teach me how to MAKE A MAN LOVE ME.

Or perhaps they think I shouldn't be so picky. Looks like they want me to venture outside my species.
What scares me the most is that 802 people liked this post and 174 shared it.

I fear for the future.

You might think it's funny, but it's snot

We took Mom and Grandma out to lunch on Mother's Day. We went to a chain restaurant. They serve good food and the service was lovely. Other than the fact that it's a chain, there's nothing wrong with the place.

Until... I saw this at the table across the way.

There was a portly gentleman sitting with his uninterested wife. He was (presumably) sitting across from either his mother or his mother-in-law, but I couldn't see her.

This is what I did see.

He had to blow his nose.

He didn't use his napkin.

He didn't get up and go to the Men's room.

He blew his nose on the inside of the hoodie he was wearing and continued his conversation with his family.

Lovely.

There's a right way to wear open-toed shoes

And then there's this.

Hint. When your toes are dragging on the ground in front of your shoes, it might be time to go up a size.

Another sign of the apocalypse

According to American Apparel, The Disco Pant is back!

Start hoarding canned goods and build a bomb shelter in your backyard. This one's gonna be a doozy.

Also, why isn't the model wearing rollerskates? That look is wrong, wrong, wrong without rollerskates.

The best part of my grocery store visit on Sunday

This pic.

Because I honestly couldn't tell if they thought it was a best or a worst (they talk about outrageous butts and guts below, but I'm still flummoxed).

And it's just a spectacularly funny photo.

Weird new phase in life

I bought a new bathmat. And I love it. A whole bunch. It's blue and fuzzy and looks like a sea anemone made for my feet. And walking on it is the embodiment of happiness for my toes.

Surely this is sign that I've turned a strange corner in life. I'm ok with that.

It's fuzzy and blue and every time I walk in there, I am thrilled anew!

I'm a poet!

I know it!

Big-ass dilemma

Ok, it's not so much a dilemma anymore, because it's over, but I wonder if I should have done something differently.

I was at  the checkout at IKEA about a month ago. (For the uninitiated, once you're at the checkout at IKEA, you've already had to wander both floors of the whole store--they put you on a kind of track.)

At the checkout, I looked at the woman in front of me.

She was wearing tight yoga pants. REALLY tight yoga pants. Even that doesn't explain. The yoga pants were so ill-fitting that the top half of her ass was hanging out of them (no underpants). I'm not exaggerating. HALF of her ass in the wind. And she didn't know. DIDN'T KNOW! (Though how she couldn't notice a breeze back there, I have no idea.)

I thought about stopping her and telling her (though, frankly, I couldn't puzzle out a nice way to say "Excuse me, half of your ass is hanging out of your pants."), but then I thought she's realllllly close to getting to her car. And maybe she could get to her car in blissful ignorance.

If I told her, she'd be stuck with the knowledge that she'd walked over a mile through a store like that.

HOW COULD SHE NOT KNOW???

So I stayed silent.

What would you have done?

Also, how could she not know?
