15 Under Appreciated Babette Moments From Gilmore Girls
Anna Rankin

While most might know her from All in the Family or Nine to Five, I love Sally Struthers for her role on Gilmore girls. Portrayed as the crazy neighbor lady and town gossip, Sally Struthers plays Babette Dell on Gilmore Girls. A lot of her best moments were small moments, thrown in there for some color but were always hysterical nonetheless. Enjoy some of my favorite moments from her. Whether giving advice about men, tormenting her poor husband, or being the crazy neighbor next door, Babette is the best!

1. Eastside Tilly; I kind of liked how they always referred to her as one of the top town gossips, but we never actually saw her. Their descriptions of her were really all you needed.


2. I believer I can recall a few different times Babette felt the need to run through the street after Luke, but lets be real...each time is as entertaining as the last. Note how she's running...



3. Then there was that time that she admitted how one becomes a town gossip. Now all you have to do is get on Facebook to creep on peoples conversations, oh how things change. Definitely one of my top Babette lines "location! location! location!"



4. Then there was the time that she hung Morey from homemade gallows to scare the kids on Halloween. The things we do for love.


5. And then made him drink 30 bottles of coke so she could use the bottles. Poor guy didn't stand a chance.



6. But let's not forget the time she wanted to make him a jungle....


7. She always had great advice on love. Never afraid to tell it like it is.



8. It probably came from all of her own weird experiences...like being in a cult.



9. The time she truly set the bar for nightmares of boyfriends in the past. Only she could have this story in her past...



10. Then finally, the time she described Spring perfectly. "Pow-color coming out of your yin yang!"


11. Her love for her gnomes is about as standard as it gets for a crazy neighbor lady. Pierpont was the one with the pipe, remember?


12. Without Morey, she easily would have been the cat lady. But it's nice of her to keep Kirk in such high regard.


13. And we can't forget the time that she deemed squash 'sexy' in a town meeting.


14. The time she admitted she has a thing for weather men. Never would have crossed my mind to compare them with fortune tellers, but that's priceless.



15. And finally, the time she conveniently neglected to mention that she was describing a game of Twister.



She may have been a side character, but she had some hysterically creative moments thanks to Amy Sherman Palladino. All that to say, Stars Hollow wouldn't have been the same without the colorful Babette Dell.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
