Can't say much about the Ikea one, but I got a craigslist frame and loved it. Let me step back though to how I got through the icky part. I found a basic one with a metal head and footboard that I thought was really cute but the paint was scratched and dinged. But, yeah, craigslist frame is dingy. So, I got it,…

Take him to the dermatologist, because they'll devise a good plan of attack that doesn't involve you cleaning his skin. More than just creams, they'll probably recomend dietary changes and medication, sometimes even laser treatment to deal with/ prevent disfiguring scaring. I know this because after 16 years of…

She could have also not understood what she was doing? I hesitate to comment on her mental state until a psychologist has commented.

I saw nothing in this blurb/article/whatever calling him a girl or laughing at his perceived lack of masculinity. The point to me of this photoshopped image is that 1. his mugshot smile was dickishly unnecessary in a place where he should be taking a hard look at what an asshole he has become, and would be more…

I actually think he was photoshopped onto this model because the dress resembles the prison jumpsuit he wore for his mugshot, not because they are calling him a girl

In the middle of all this handwringing over your friend's consensual sexual activities,

All you can do is keep trying. And then try something else, the same thing again, something new, etc., until you can't try any more. And then try again.

Raises hand. Up until a couple months ago, I was an every-night wine drinker. NOT a bottle, not falling down in the street, not drunk driving. Just get home every night, go straight to the fridge and pour wine. Usually 1.5 glasses, maybe 2. Never more unless I'm out somewhere. But every. single. night. without…

We need more stories about high functioning alcoholics. Everything I read is geared toward those who have been arrested, lost their jobs, etc. How can we judge if we are sliding down the slope and on the way to some "rock bottom?"

Yes, I was saying that. I didn't say there's anything wrong with a woman "wearing the pants" (or in this case, the hoodie). Many relationships have one person who is more aggressive, or takes the wheel more often. That you inherently think that it's an insult to suggest that the woman is the stronger one in the…

So, Jon is totally annoying, HOWEVER, I really did not understand Liz's total repulsion and continued mocking of him about this. Maybe it's just because they both appear to have the maturity of a 13-year-old boy, but she just seemed so unnecessarily mean and weird about the whole thing. I can picture ragging on my…

Getting basketballers involved in this campaign is such a brilliant move that I'm shocked she didn't do it earlier. Also, I LOVE her mugging for the camera after her dunk. She is the BEST.

Ugh, this is putting an unacceptable dent in my mountain of hatred for the Seahawks.

I don't think it's odd. It's a Haitian name, and apparently it means "bringer of the light" :)

Okay. It's gotta be because I'm on some crazy cold meds, washed down with some champagne and watching the SAG AWARDS, but I literally started bawling when Lupita Nyong'0 won. Apologies for the spoiler alert. Mama been drinkin'.

Burt (now Rebecca Rose) runs this town weekday evenings!

FYI: TheAdlerian is a sneaky and bizarre troll. It's best to ignore them.

I doubt you empathize with anyone.
The other woman wasn't acting on anyone's behalf except her own. If she has such an issue she could've taken it up with the family, or the neighborhood association or the police.

And that's fine for you. But no one gets to tell anyone how to mourn or not mourn. Anericans, in general, have real issues with death. Dwelling isn't healthy, but this child's death just happened. And ignoring death sure doesn't make it go away.

You know Brandi...you are making it harder and harder for those of us who enjoy your fuckitall attitude to defend your antics. Getting fall down drunk? We've all done it...telling everyone to go fuck themselves? If we haven't we wished we could...but like between the black person comment and now this...I'm just…
