I've always tried to take it well because I know they have good intentions, but particularly when it happened I heard some phrases so much that I wanted to scream at the people saying them.

It would be nice if there was some sort of phrase or word that really captured what you wanted to say without saying something meant to be helpful but can be rather offensive. At least if you know someone well enough a hug is a good way to go.

The angel thing got to me quite a bit too. It is very difficult for people to know what to say, and ignoring it is certainly not the way to go. The one thing that I have wanted is to have just one person ask me what her name was. She was a person, and she had a name. It makes people more uncomfortable to talk about…

I lived in Seattle, and used to get this and it was fucking AMAZING. I had to move to Vermont for a few years (one year left!) and I wanted to scream and cry when I realized that there is nothing comparable in this stupid rural area!! Sure, fine, farm share blah blah blah. But it's not THIS. This was heaven on my door…

My daughter died a few years ago, and I heard a lot of the same thing. No one should ever utter the words "they're in a better place." to someone who lost someone they love. No, she's not, she's in an urn on our bookshelf. People say these things because it comforts them to offer words that make them feel better. I…

It's not magic, it's illusions!

It's something, and it's small and big at the same time. It's will allow kids who are far more vulnerable to feel safe and accepted and to belong. It will teach others to be more tolerant and loving. And if those kids are from families with homophobic and intolerant parents it may cause them to question what's right…

Fascinating.

Oh Amanda Bynes, I am so so so very sad for you. All the sad faces.

I'd vote for him.

I actually associate A&F with disgusting and smelly. I hate walking by their stores and will veer to the other side of walkway to stay as far away from that awful cologne as possible. I certainly don't think cool and sexy.

My biggest problem when I was younger was having a long torso. EVERY shirt at that time was made to fit at the waistband and I was just too tall for that. I still to this day have to fight the urge to pull the hems of my shirt down, even when I'm wearing a tunic length.

As a tall person I look like I'm showing WAY more leg then my shorter friends when I'm really not. Heels just add to that. My skirt may be mid thigh, but it looks shorter.

I would be furious to find out anyone was taking creepy skirt shots of my daughter, regardless of who they are or what they hell they think their reason is. And then she goes and posts them online? So they can end up on r/creepshots? Fantastic job there lady, way to lead the moral crusade.

My ex was tall, athletic and attractive. I am slender and petite. I was the smallest girl he had ever dated, by about 10 sizes. I know that even though he had never said it, he found larger girls far more attractive then skinny girls. I know that he found me attractive, but our dating to him had more to do with…

God do I love pockets on dresses. And skirts. LOVE.

I'm done.

In response to the first person, speaking as someone who is....very comfortable financially....I REALLY enjoy spending money on my friends. There are a lot of people who I may not be super close to, but I really care about. I enjoy getting them things that they may not be able to get for themselves. I never expect…
