As a white, west coast Canadian, I have no right to comment on this article. But I thank you for the eloquent and insightful explanation of a sad situation. While it's true that gentrification brings a neighborhood upgraded facilities and city services that it ought to have been privy to all along, it also strips that…

My first husband and I were together from the time I was 16. We had a 20 year run, complete with 2 kids, by the time we seperated. Makes sense that you wouldn't fall in love with the same person at age 36 that you did when you were 16. Lots of formative life experience happens. I'm also wondering if the 'open…

Poor Mark. It's like his inner teenager just found out a Playboy shoot does not equal bubbly laughter and non-stop boners. It's a business.

Well said. Also, as was noted during the competition, the European skaters have so many more competitions to participate in during a season. They simply get more competitive ice time to hone their routines.

Jeezuzontoast, I never thought I would be so sick of hearing Sing Sing Sing.

I blame the quad jumps.

It was horrible to watch that fall. I really thought he'd broken his hip for a second. And then, one after the other, the competitors just couldn't make a jump stick. It was like watching the tumble of dominoes. What a day.

It was a terrible morning in men's ice skating all around.

Indeed, as osu86 has said, do not be ashamed. Having raised a daughter through the get-shitfaced-with-her-girls-at-the-club phase, I can most definitely state that sooner or later the odds of coming home without incident will not be in your favor. You may be a 'good person', you might have the best frikkin karma in…

OMG, the house McDreamy lives in! The grounds! The artist loft! McDreamy family and pets! My Patrick Dempsey love just grows and grows.

This beautiful young woman, Elly Mayday, is a very popular plus-sized pinup model here in the Pacific Northwest. She has a rare ovarian cancer and has been documenting her journey via her facebook page for her fans. She has actually lost 'fans' because she is no longer looking as plus sized and therefore must be a…

This beautiful lady, I believe, had her facebook page taken down for inappropriate content at first too. I wonder if that has changed now?

Bless you for sharing your story, and huge internet hugs to you.

OMG I hate that statement "free boob job" with an infathomable passion. Any one who loves someone that has undergone this 'perceived upside' has an inkling of the bullshit and pain involved and therefore wants to wander the world punching these morons in the throat. Bless you, Dear One, for surviving and sharing your…

Seriously, Jez, stop it already.

If you make an O face while reading O you get double the benefit: wrinkles + enlightenment. It's like Old Age & Treachery 101

That is unfortunate, and grossly unfair. You have every reason to share and be pleased about your weight loss. Cripes. I have a few friends who have also used myfitnesspal to great result. The common key is perseverance, I think. The thing that impresses me is that it's not faddy, it's not quirky, it's just common…

Of all the stones and all the tiaras, the ruby always seems to suffer from crappy overall design. There are some fab sapphire, emerald, pearl, topaz, etc. But very few really nice ruby tiaras, and I haven't seen any with stones of substantial size. Kind of sad, honestly.

The Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara really is so pretty, and one of my faves as well.

God Bless Queen Magpie Mary. The woman knew what to do with a vault full of jewels.
