What a great way of completely missing the point and making this article about a stupid girl and a stupid kid and not shedding any light on the horrific situation in which immigrants from Africa find themselves when trying to cross to Europe. This is a story about a little boy and his father desperately trying to make…

Yes. My name is common enough that I am not really google-able, which I am very happy about. At the same time, it is not so common that I had the problem of being the fifth girl in my class with that name every year— I think I knew one other person with my name growing up. That’s the sweet spot.

See, there are moments I love using the English substitute for my name, because people have no freaking idea how to pronounce it or spell it.

I worked as a nanny for a couple families in Spain and about 4 here in the US...all with children that age that get weird about broken bananas or the wrong person opened it. Only in the US did this happen. The European kids ate whatever was put in front of them...even if they said they didn’t like it, they ate it. I…

Oh God the dollar dance. So weird, so inappropriate. The only thing I disagree with you on is cake. Because cake is my favorite food.

The bouquet toss is enough to make me skip a wedding. It seriously is one of the most humiliating rituals of modern life. It’s especially awesome when you as a grown woman try to sit it out, but are informed that you no fun and spoiling the bride’s day, if you don’t go out there with the pre-teen crowd while everyone…

I’m not bothered by the porn. I’m bothered by the fact that Jeb decided that in 2005, in the twilight of the home video business, he thought it would be a good time to invest in the brick and mortor home movie rental busines. I mean, i know people can’t see the future. However, look at this nugget from Wikipedia about…

My mom is mentally ill, and did a lot of damage to me because she wasn’t treated until she was almost sixty (I’m still not sure she ever got the correct treatment, but whatever). But I find that I’m angrier at the members of my family who knew the things that went on and did absolutely nothing to help me when I was…

Thank you so much for this. I’m one of those “middle ground” people you wrote about in the third paragraph, and I still go around in circles with my brother and father about my mom. (“Oh, surely she wasn’t THAT bad!” Oh, no, Mom railroading me into coming out to her at age fourteen, then publicly humiliating me a few…

What fascinates me is how important having (or being) a good seamstress was to duplicating (or improving upon) the fashions on the plates. Imagine the hours selecting the right (affordable) fabric for the gown, the right lace for the trim, the right beading, the right tassels, the right rosettes, the correct hat,…

Is that what was decided after the intended narrative didn’t catch on? LOL nice try.

Yesssssss. Her head is saying, ‘Get my shawl, Geoffrey, the stone garden wall I’m leaning on to brood is chilled from the rain” and the dress says, “Another crumpet with lavender honey, don’t mind if i do!” Which is to say, both hat and dress are AWESOME but they are not on the same team.

This is why I’m not allowed to time travel

Yeah, I’m putting on my “THAT COMMENTER” hat. No Sarah Hyland’s dress and hat do NOT go together. Who wears a pheasant feather with a white floral? Is this something people need to be TOLD?

Charles somehow managed to get the perfect combination of his parent’s features to create the worst result.

Okay folks, it’s time for another round of “No, That’s Not a Thing.”

Gender identity is not a ploy to get laid and/or see naked women.

I wonder what would happen if Americans took a fraction of energy they put toward sneering at the poor and directed it at challenging the corrupt corporate tax breaks and loopholes that actually are bankrupting this country.

Quite possibly that person will live off of black beans and rice for the rest of the week. It's remarkable that you judge their purchasing choices. (And automatically assume that they plan on needing assistance forever based on one purchase as well)

GOP: Businesses have an inalienable right to discriminate against gays (even though the Bible does not command them to do so).
