Have you ever had a friend tell you great news...which you didn't take very well?

Marci’s car becomes a rodeo event. The end of the Swarovski crystal water bottle. More about less underwear. Are we losing our memories? Our favorite Marines.

As we record this, the weather of the world is coming to a dramatic crescendo.  And all we want is for some people to quit taking showers. Also, we got an award. We had no idea, and probably it’s better that way.

Planning your vacation? Make sure the person who buys tickets knows which seats you hate. Turi’s spouse gets a reminder. Student housing flashback, which, Marci points out, is not just for students.

The reputation of the Subaru comes as a surprise to Marci. When to give up on the Pride Parade (hint, it involves rain). The plague of grasshoppers

How do you pack for a trip? Does a giant pile of junk in the middle of your floor sound efficient? Marci has fond memories of her sojourns to Canada, and why the guys liked it so much.
