Discussion Post: Alcohol! Do You Like It? Do You Not? Should I Try It?
This is a very self-centered post. I mean, I want to hear all your alcohol stories too of course. Not the “I got so drunk I threw up in a mailbox” ones, but more the “I never liked beer until my friend got me to try this thing when we were on a trip once” stories. But also, you get to give me advice!

Cheese! Or, as my nephew calls it, Chiz! It’s delicious, it’s delectable, no one doesn’t like it. Unless someone here doesn’t like it. If you are a cheese hater, Reveal Yourself Now!!!!

My nephew isn’t quite 2 yet, and my sister has already created her own traditional Dad Joke repetraw (sp?). Apparently it comes on you immediately.

Let’s take it as a given that we have anxiety and worries and etc. etc. Forget all that! There are three very specific things I have noticed in myself, and am hearing from more of my friends than I would have expected.

Happy Day after Mother’s Day! Thinking about mother’s and things has raised some general questions for me that I want to share with the group.

Angie was just complaining about a memoir she read that was supposed to be this woman’s real life love story, but it was all dramatized and hyped up. Which made me think about the amazing “truth is stranger than fiction” real life love stories that exist in the world. Let’s share our favorites!

Continue readingDiscussion Post: Weddings! Let’s Talk About Our Personal Preference!!!!
I was watching a true crime show which mentioned how this couple couldn’t afford a wedding so they had a big engagement party instead? Which completely confuses me. What’s the difference between a wedding and a big engagement party? Anyway, made me think we should all discuss these Vital Issues.

Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Fictional Love Triangle Would You Change the Ending (Jab Tak Hain Jaan, Chandni, Little Women, How I Met Your Mother, Etc.)
This is a suggestion from Saira, she used as an example Mansfield Park where it felt like Austen was going to put Henry and the heroine together, and then got bored and rushed the ending and changed it. And I immediately thought of SO MANY OTHERS. Here is a list of mine, feel free to share yours.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Are Our Personal Feelings on Art Versus Artist?
I’m watching the Farrow vs Allen doc now, and what is so different about it is that it actually directly addresses the art versus artist question. That’s genius, because normally these kind of stories avoid that whole element, and that leaves the audience a bit lost. I think we need to talk about art versus artist more, come up with more tools for ourselves to handle that question.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Which of these 3 Unknowns is More Stressful?
This came to me as I was making myself dinner last night, and I thought it might be a good general DCIB discussion question. I have THOUGHTS, surely you do as well!

I so enjoyed (and continue to enjoy as more comments come in) our post about friendships and what lasted and what didn’t. I want to do kind of a partner post about another sort of childhood relationship that I have found has lasted into adulthood much more strongly, that “my Mom’s best friend” relationship. Or, in Indian English, your Aunties.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Who Here is Still Friends With People From Elementary School? High School? College?
Honestly, I’m curious! Angie and I were just talking about the film “June” where our heroine stays close to her group of school friends into adulthood, which was not our experience. I’m interested in learning about other people, are you like me and Angie, or are you like a movie?
