Why We Miss the Old Theme Songs
There was a time when TV theme songs mattered. You heard the first few notes, and you knew what was coming on.

High-Waisted Pants Are the Sweatpants of Real Clothes
High-waisted pants are honestly the best. They hold you in, they don’t roll down when you sit and they don’t make you feel bad about having a tummy. (It’s 2025, that really should be standard in clothes by now.) There was a time when putting on real pants meant giving up comfort just to look […]
