I've been to Stavanger once. It's a really nice place. We had hiked up Prekestolen, then stayed the night at Stavanger.

Serious question: do ears get bigger as we get older? My dad's ears just seem to be getting bigger and bigger.

I thought I was a fat little kid, because that's what the other kids called me. But I was looking at pictures of me as a little kid the other day, and it turns out that I wasn't a fat little kid. I was just normal sized. It really makes me mad that I let the other kids call me fat and that I let that internal dialogue…

Oh, that sounds like so much fun! Go, if just for the great restaurants! Scandal is really cooking with gas these days! (forgive the old-school styling ;) )

This is really good to know! For next time ;)

Be sure that you get 100% pumpkin and NOT pumpkin pie filling!

Cool! Let me know when you're in Oslo next, and if you have time to meet up, maybe we'll find a place near where you're staying?

This is off topic, so please be patient! I'm an American living in Oslo, and I'm looking for friends. If you live near or in Oslo, would you like to meet me and be my friend or at least meet for coffee? I have a car and know how to use the t-bane. Thank you!

Where do you live? I live in Oslo. If you're near there, maybe we can meet up? :)

Do any of you live near Oslo by chance? :) I'm looking for friends!

Me, too. I grew up in a semi-religious house. My mother had drilled it into me that if I ever had sex, she'd throw me out of the house and disown me. So when it happened, I could never talk to her. She made sure of that. My boyfriend at the time had pretty much groomed me for it when he raped me. Then it happened…

Jezebel's Reporting on Steubenville

You're welcome. A year or so after my brother died, I had the luxury of going to therapy. It was the best thing I ever did. It turned out that there were many other things going on with me besides my grief over his death, but that's ok. I learned so much about myself and my relationships with my family. When a family…

Thanks for posting this! I really enjoyed it.

*hugs*

I found last night's episode to be really upsetting. I don't watch Downton for that kind of realism. I watch it to get my period fix in and to enjoy the costumes and nice clothes and to hear the English accents and hear the nice music and enjoy myself. This was just awful and makes me feel icky. Those two have been…

I don't know you at all, but it's a big feat weaning yourself off of any drug, so I congratulate you for doing just that, and for keeping yourself clean. You do yourself no favors, though, for downplaying that accomplishment, and you do yourself no favors by telling yourself that people would not miss your passing,…

Oh, my! He's so attractive. I got really distracted, no THANKS TO YOU, ROOO! Actually, all thanks to you ;)

I'm such a fangirl of Michelle's. I stopped watching competitive figure skating after she won the silver at the Olympics to Tara what's her name. Michelle was ROBBED, robbed, I tell you! Michelle is such a graceful, womanly skater. I love her style and was so very disappointed when she did not win the gold.

I'm not allowed to Recommend, else I'd Recommend the hell out of your comment. Well said! Hear here!
