Thank you for thinking I'm cool. I had been waiting for someone to notice ;-)

I suggest reading my other comments and discussion on this post - I can't type the same thing over and over any more :)

I've typed this like 10 times already, but I suggest you look at some of the other conversations I've had with the other commenters on this post

Absolutely. And that seems like a reasonable healthy attitude to take, you know? We've all been through shitty stuff and it can be a great and mature thing to do to find the positive in what happened to you - definitely more so than just sitting around going "why me, why me, I wish I could change time!".

I agree with the whole idea of focusing on the positive, and it's immensely comforting to have an idea that your life is functioning along some sort of plan. I think for her specifically, these quotes are troublesome because they seem really forced - her full quote was

Yeah, absolutely. The full quote from the article reads

Oh lord, nothing raises my eyes like the whole "I don't mind that X happened to me, because without it, I would never have found the love of my life!!!"

No, I don't see myself as a big fat cow-like creature. I just know that there are many out there who would see a 175 lb woman that way. I am fine with me. And with other people at whatever weight they choose to be.

I don't mind. I'm 5'7" and 175 lbs. I think this weight is interesting, because in most of America's eyes, I am a big fat cow-like creature. But I used to weigh 230, so to me, I am thin and healthy. And I really am healthy as hell. I have great aerobic capacity, my blood pressure and blood numbers are perfect, I sleep…

Seriously though, GTFO of here, Leathers.

I want to do things with her and James Deen.

A funny, happy prostitute sounds like a pretty cool person to me too. I'm no statist.

Why lose weight when it's easier to just sit on them?

Maybe everyone's experience isn't exactly like yours.

"[G]round search crews had to be flown in Saturday morning. Others took to horseback, while helicopters buzzed overhead."

Well, I did say something to one cousin via PM but she still didn't take the pic down. Then I wrote a status about how people shouldn't tag me in pics of my mom's grave. I mean—we have to tell people this now? It's so weird!

Hugs and continued healing to you. Losing a sibling is so hard and sad.

I've been waiting for this. It's the anniversary of my brother's death. It's a hard enough day on it's own, but I'm having to avoid facebook since half of my huge family has taken the opportunity to write messages 'to' him on their walls. I know everyone grieves in their own way, but this is something that bothers me…

You know what's a good way to fix a strained relationship with one's famous half-sister? Talking about it to the media.

All the sibling shade-throwing might be justified.

Thank you! I'm so sick of her saying in order to be the perfect wife you have to make your man feel like a man and be super submissive. I'm even more sick of people taking her seriously in this day and age.
