I have a friend who to this day breaks into cold sweats when she sees red balloons because of that beheading scene.

Oh Jesus Christ, my dad used to make these charts for his prophecy bible study classes at my church. All kinds of PTSD here.

I've always called them the Left Behind series. I was forced to watch those things as a PRE-TEEN. Yep, had my first panic attack at 10 when I was home alone and the sky turned a funky color.

Oh my word, SO IMPORTANT. I was raised by a mother who made it absolutely clear that I was her ONLY reason for being. She wasn't a healthy woman, was very melancholic, and if I hurt her feelings or disappointed her in any way she'd seriously take to her bed for days at a time. I never saw her have any hobbies, outside…

Yeah, you're not the only one. Or you wouldn't be if I hadn't crawled into bed to discover the *newly minted* husband snoring away. All efforts to wake him up and jump his bones were sadly, horribly ineffectual. DAMN YOU LADY PORN!!

On numerous occasions I've had very close friends tell me I'll regret not having them when there's no one there to take care of me when I'm old. To which I say, 1) that seems like a shitty, if not outright unethical reason to HAVE a child, and 2) there's no guaranteeing they'd take care of me anyway! Some people are…

Oh, I know! I LOVE her rings. Mine was from Etsy too, from OneGarnetGirl.

Ooh, good to know! The peachy-pink color was what I was after, and the pink sapphires I kept seeing were very PINK pink.

R2D2 was the first thing that popped into my mind.

I have a morganite in rose gold, which I wanted more for aesthetic reasons than political ones, if I'm being honest. I do know that morganite isn't as hard as diamond though (7.5-8 i think) so I'm uber careful about it. Don't wear it to sleep, in the shower, when I'm doing anything sporty outdoors, when I'm doing the…

I keep on hearing people talk about wanting a Pam and Eric spinoff. Yeah, that'd be great, but I need more Lafayette. WHERE THE HELL WAS HE IN THE FINALE?

Oh, the Pirin tablets might be my absolute favorite moment of the whole thing!

Albert Goldman: Whatever I am, he made me! I was adorable once, young and full of hope. And now look at me! I'm this short, fat, insecure, middle-aged THING!

It's on Netflix right now.

Was already weepy. That brought out a sob.

And instead she's being replaced by yet ANOTHER of Meredith's half siblings.

I said this upthread, but the worst part to me was that Harris was telling people the child looked peaceful when he discovered him, with his mouth and eyes closed. Nope. Detective says child's eyes and mouth were WIDE OPEN.

I think he thought this would be the easiest way to get rid of the kid without making himself look like a monster. It's the type of situation you hear about from time to time, and even more lately. I think he was counting on the sympathy from other parents who would consider this their worst nightmare.

Apparently Harris told everyone that the child looked peaceful when he discovered him, with his eyes and mouth closed. The detective said the child's eyes and mouth were wide open. WORST PART OF THE HEARING.

She's already on the loose. All over HLN's page. Just waiting for her to start calling him "Tot Pop."
