Apparently, Ms. Barbara is not aware of what true friendship means.

Well? I kind of admire them and am a little tired of always hearing this crap about their friendship being "bizarre."

"'She was a horrible decorator. Money cannot buy you taste. She would put plaid with stripes and all sorts.'"

I say it is YOU, YOU WHO ARE THE BIZARRE AND UNHEALTHY ONE, EX-STEPMOM

Who cares if money can't buy you class, when it can buy you two hundred dolls?

How could you possibly know this? I can barely keep track of my own friendships let alone know what's going on with two rich women I've never met. Do you work for either of them?

I can believe that Oprah can be a not so pleasant person but nothing is trashier than shit talking family members for personal gain, so Team Oprah on this one.

I just don't like the idea of rewarding someone who has obviously positioned herself for this for so long.

Hillary has two of the most powerful forces in 21st century American life on her side right now: gender pride (and the temptation for an easy feel-good-story in an era of ugly reality) and nostalgia (over the perceived economic success of the Clinton years). It is difficult to see how she loses.

and Jimmy Page and Chris Brown and Ozzy Osborne and James Brown and Slash and Axl Rose and Vanilla Ice and Tone Loc...

It's unfortunate that a Dave Chapelle skit made light of a very serious and saddening (and apparently, ongoing) situation.

I just remember when she was on that Disney show my little nephews were on and I took my nephews to a taping. She stayed at the end, and said hi to ALL of the kids and signed stuff and took pictures, and when she talked she got down to their level. Her own team had to pull her away hours later. I can't hate.

The only reason I found her unlikeable was her poor taste in friends/significant others. If the story is true and an indicator of something, then my main beef with her is gone.

I *love* putting together IKEA furniture! It's like a puzzle that you do with a hammer! What's not to love?

This was a rollercoaster of emotions for me. The rush of elation that more women are doing the DIY house projects, swiftly followed by the crushing depression of a list that includes changing lightbulbs and hanging pictures as major achievements in home improvement projects.

*sigh*

Yes, exactly. I point to the Great Curtain Rod Hanging Disaster of 2014, where I spent most of the time standing back, watching my boyfriend fight and argue with curtain rods thinking "why didn't I just do this myself?"

I'm the handy-lady in our house (read: apartment building). The job gets done more quickly, more nicely, and more cheaply than if anyone else does it.
