We have been avoiding major divisive issues, but I think it is time to take a firm stand and face our differences. Yes, it is another Food Rules post!!!!
Continue readingI 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 readingI have a friend who had a really sucky week so, for Friend Movie Night this week, I want to pick something that has really truly NOTHING sad in it. And it’s HARD!!!
Continue readingThanks Miss Braganza for the idea! I love this question! And I suspect many others at DCIB will also love this question.
Continue readingWhat fun! For me! And hopefully also some of you. I’ve been on a minor Christie binge, and I just put up a detailed Christie post, and now I want to just chat.
Continue readingThis 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 readingI’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 readingThis 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!
Continue readingSo many questions! Warning, do not read on if you feel faint of heart! Or have a “thing” about feet.
Continue readingHa! “DCIBing”!!! I love it! It’s like “being”, but with DCI in front. If you see what I mean. I may be sleep deprived, I was up late working on my puzzle.
Continue readingLet’s learn about each other! In all the most important ways! That is, the little things that don’t actually matter but we care about deeply.
Continue readingJust want to check in with my DCIB folks, give us a space to share and support each other and say “oh, you do that too? Then I’m not crazy!”
Continue readingWhat a festive discussion topic! In this time of 24 hour Christmas music everywhere, I know there are songs you have gotten absolutely sick of.
Continue readingAnother fun discussion post! Santa Claus! Do you know him? How do you know him? Have you raised your kids to know him?
Continue readingI 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 readingHonestly, 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?
Continue readingI feel like we just don’t TALK any more! Also, I am missing my casual office conversations from work. What did you have for lunch?
Continue readingIt’s snowing in Chicago right now and my work has been a series of disasters since 8am, so I need a distraction. Let’s talk SRK.
Continue readingThis is universal, right? It wasn’t just me who woke up between 3 and 13 after a weird bad dream and then bugged my parents?
Continue readingAnother random fun discussion post! Tea! Counterpart to our “coffee” discussion. Get all your tea opinions ready!
Continue readingA vital question! Which hopefully will get us all talking a bit, because I like it when we talk, and also I am procrastinating about writing my next Shahrukh review.
Continue readingI feel like the DCIB community is mostly made up of people with slightly off beat taste. So I suspect there will be some interesting answers to this question.
Continue readingLet us put on our adult content hats, block the computer from our children and spouses, and escape into harmless fantasy for just a moment.
Continue readingA vital timely question! And now that we are all about 6 months in, I think we have a good sense of the importance of this question and what factors needed to be weighed and considered.
Continue readingThis may not make sense to anyone else, but I find it a fascinating though experiment, so I will just shout into the ether and see if anyone picks it up.
