I’m Gingham McVie and you’re listening to NPR.

I saw this on Instagram and it’s something I’ve thought at least a thousand times.

Because it’s true

Let’s look, shall we?

I’m cutting off early Beatles stuff before the album, Rubber Soul, because that’s my definition of early. I would go a little earlier, but this will prove the point.

The early stuff: “I’ve Just Seen A Face,” “Please Please Me,” “Love Me Do,” “I Saw Her Standing There,” “P.S. I Love You,” “From Me to You,” “Hello Little Girl,” “Ain’t She Sweet,” “She Loves You,” “Can’t Buy Me Love,” and “I Want To Hold Your Hand.”

That’s off the top of my head.

Rubber Soul and later, we get “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “I Dig a Pony,” “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite,” “Yellow Submarine,” “I Am the Walrus,” “She Came in Through the Bathroom Window,” “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,” “Why Don’t We Do It In The Road?” “Mean Mr. Mustard,” “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer,” and what has to be the weirdest — “Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey.”

If course, the still did love songs and “Hey Jude,” but the weirdness far outweighs the sweet early stuff. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

By the way, if you haven’t seen Get Back on Disney+ yet, do yourself a favor and watch. It’s nothing short of amazing. And you’ll see both love songs and really weird stuff. Fun times.

I don’t know which is worse.

“Accidentally consuming worm eggs.” As if someone would do that intentionally.

Fact: I babysat at least twice a month in high school and three times a week for one entire summer before my freshman year of college. One family never had food. They only ate out. The only food they ever had was Carnation breakfast bars.

I hear you, I hear you. It’s only the end of August, but I have ideas. Boy, do I have ideas.

Etsy is my favorite site for special gifts and things you want personalized. It’s the best. The only thing I don’t like about it is people do mass-market products they pass off as original. The same image, same shirt, cup, etc. I ran into a lot of that while putting this post together, so I filtered these ideas.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that the former president was indicted for the fourth time last week and a mugshot was taken. I knew Etsy would be living for that image and we would be blessed with good Christmas gift ideas. Of course, I’m sharing my favorites with y’all and because I’m not a supporter of the former president, I found shops that do not appear to be supporters of his either.

Enjoy.

I don’t have a deck. But now I want one.

Don’t answer that.

Read the directions to the hair mask and I’ll be right back.

Am I supposed to shampoo first, then condition, then mask? Or only shampoo and mask? Or only mask? I cannot be mindful of my solitude because I don’t understand the directions.

Another legend has gone. Bob was a big part of my childhood as host of the Price is Right.

Yes. But at a Michael’s.
