It’s HARD to make new friends when you move. I moved to Chicago in my 20s and started a book club through Craigslist and I made a few friends through that but until that got going, it was really lonely.

Revenge on other people shouldn’t involve me pooping myself in a delivery room and then paying $1500 for the experience. Not to mention the sleep loss, stretched out body, screaming infant, diapers formula . . . Revenge shouldn’t destroy my happiness quite so much. Instead I’d just tell the scientologists that my ex…
I also think it was a little of both. She made as much as any other 90210 cast member and yet is the only one who is constantly complaining about being broke.
A penny for your thoughts, a dime for your dreams . . .
I’ve moved across the country twice.
I just have a gut feeling that one of the other ladies was like “Come on, Betty. I know we’re doing this to make a statement but I’m also hungry. I wanted a bread stick!”
New personal hero: The guy who offered Betty Friedan bread sticks. I hope he didn’t do it sarcastically.
But don’t forget the fabulous hats!
I loved how in the intro to the original Los Angeles season they say: “This is the TRUE story . . .” and Jon breaks out into a country twang song of “TRUUUE STOREEE!” and to anyone roughly my age, I can say “This is the TRUE story” and they’ll go “TRUE STOREEEEE” and we laugh and the kids around us have no idea.
I sent an audition tape to Hawaii. When they reject you for The Real World, you get a nice letter and a photo of the pretty people they liked better than you. I saved that letter somewhere.
I’m very sorry this happened to you.
I’m so sorry this happened to you.
I’m sorry you went through that.
Thank you. It’s been more than 15 years since this happened so I think time has made it easier to not only discuss but own what happened. My sympathies to you. I’m sorry for anyone who goes through things like this.
This is what’s sad for me - there are women who haven’t had these kinds of experiences but I have. Once I was with friends and we were talking about rape and I said “I kind of sort of was. Not really” and they just stared at me. So I talked about the situation. An abusive boyfriend had a key to my apartment. I went…
I agree. I didn’t like her in AHS, I would have voted for Dunst. But that being said, it always sounds slightly immature when people start talking about who “deserves” to win an award. No one deserves an award. They’re nice bonuses and they’re primarily chosen based on a few random people’s opinions.
I’m really sorry you went through that. I think it’s hard to admit that abuse isn’t something that happens to other people. My ex never hit me and that was my weird thing like “Well, he hasn’t HIT me so he isn’t abusive” even though he grabbed me by the arms and picked me up and shook me and he would punch the wall…
Yes. The prom stuff, the self-depricating jokes. This is me. And my first boyfriend was abusive. (I just wrote “borderline abusive” and deleted the borderline - it’s still hard 15 years later to admit that he was abusive).
I was just thinking of Milk Money the other day and I realized that my parents actually took me to a movie where children pool their money and hire a hooker so they can see her boobs and then she falls in love with one of the dads. How was this made? Am I remembering this incorrectly?
I watched it with my son last year and it freaked him the hell out that Kevin was forgotten. He was like “Would you ever leave me home alone?” and for months afterwards when I was like “Ok, come on, let’s go get out of here” he’d start freaking out and be like “Don’t leave me home alone!” I should have focused more on…
