Agreed. I think they also can't really base Reek's story on flashbacks - technically, what we're seeing now is exactly what was happening during the events of SoS but we were luckily enough not to be there for it.

I'm trying (and failing) to separate book and show in my mind. They've made a lot of smart decisions to streamline the plot and demonstrate things could were just thought in the books, but they're killing some of my theories about minor characters and events. And I can't help but feel like there are spoilers for books…

Agreed! She's been great this season. I was also really impressed with the monologue in the tub last week - great delivery that affected me differently than it did in the book. These two are really hitting it out of the park.

I agree with Hester below if you want something subtle - and that's a seriously amazing product. It smells incredible and it's super slick and un-sticky. If you want something bold, though, maybe try a cool (blue-undertoned) red. I also really love the bubblegum pink that's been everywhere for a few months now because…

Ha! Agreed.

I'm super pale with dark hair and I always thought I looked like a crazy person or a 1920s prostitute when I wore lipstick but it turns out I just wasn't used to it. I actually look and feel super glam in it now. There's a shade of red out there to suit almost anyone!

That seems legit to me, especially if he knew she struggled with binge eating. It's not normal or reasonable for anyone to eat an entire jar of Nutella (with their hands or not) and she was obviously pretty out of it at the time. His reaction seems pretty fair.

This is exclusively my opinion, of course, and not necessarily (probably?) what your friend needs, but I wish my best friend had told me when I got really heavy really suddenly (I gained almost 50 pounds in one year). She says she always thought I was beautiful, that she didn't want to project her body insecurity on…

Four years! It's amazing how time flies once you get the whole sobriety thing down. It'll get harder as you lose your momentum, but then way easier once you have new routines worked out.

Good luck! It's really easy to take how gross and crazy you feel and decide that it means you're dying. If you have a friend or family member who can check on you that might help with your anxiety (over dying, not in general - I was an anxious crying mess when I quit).

I'm a sober alcoholic and I can't tell if getting my shit together made me more or less judgy towards other addicts. On the one hand, getting sober is hard. Really hard. It sucks to have to fully admit to the mess you've made and to actually try to fix it. But on the other hand, Jesus fucking Christ. Some people…

Thoughts of peace and love and healing for him, for you, and for his other friends and family. So sad to hear this.

So this IS a cool club that most of us weren't invited to!

Regarding families with the lowest incomes spending the most: this is a chance for their kid to show off, to not feel poor. A lot of these kids may not be headed to college (which costs a fuckload more than $1100) and are facing down trying to join the workforce full time.

This video leads to a much happier kind of crying than this week's other news has.

I enjoy a fancy doughnut. And holy shit, imagine a place that does doughnuts AND cupcakes - unstoppable.

Picking your flavors is super important. I don't like the commitment of a whole cake, and I don't like the same flavors as my family members. With cupcakes everyone gets what they want and there's less resentment!

Sorry, folks, I still love cupcakes. They're adorable, the perfect portion, and you get to pick whatever flavor you want. I'm not saying goodbye yet. And what's going to replace them? French macaroons? Really? Cardboard with paste in the middle?

My husband is awesomely unjealous - one of our big pieces of artwork in the living room is from my ex (it's a framed, autographed album). I have a box of old pictures and love letters, he has some from his ex. I think it gets less weird to have the longer it's been since you broke up. Eventually it doesn't seem…

Autocorrect is a nightmare. I keep getting duplicate words because it thinks I'm not done with the word and corrects to give me a new one. And half-words with another word stuck on. Craziness!
