Not as exotic as Portugal, perhaps, but we went to Indianapolis this weekend to visit my friend Jeanne. Well, to be completely accurate, we went to Carmel, Indiana, and never left my friend's house the entire time. It turns out we had a lot to catch up on, for instance:

-- The August 2002 "KFC-throwing incident" and subsequent breakup of 3LW.

-- The 3LW/Cheetah Girls overlap and rumors of bullying by/towards Raven Symone.

-- Raven Symone's Instragram Live with former 3LW members where she made and ate a sandwich.

-- Raven Symone's song "Raven's Pie" from her sitcom "Raven's Home."

-- Raven Symone's recent weight loss.

-- Whether it is a good idea to fast for three days straight but "drink a lot of water."

-- Weight loss solutions generally.

-- That Nutrisystem commercial where Marie Osmond acts really passive aggressive towards other people who has lost weight via Zoom.

-- That Paragard commercial where the woman sings and dances about her birth control.

-- The fact that when you google the Paragard commercial you also get a link to a website about suing Paragard.

-- The way the media covered Amanda Bynes' legal troubles (not related to Paragard) back when she allegedly "cabbed it" from New York to LA and tried to set someone's driveway on fire.

-- Whether it's now socially unacceptable to just not care that much about Britney Spears.

-- The fact that we always kind of thought Justin Timberlake was a secret shit.

-- How we went through a period when we really liked "Rock Your Body," though.

-- Whether we like Dua Lipa or not.

And so on and so forth. It was an epic weekend!
