Things changed dramatically, I have to say, over the course of two years. It took a lot of therapy, head butting, bickering, and learning how to talk to each other better. It was tough. We took some time apart, which helped me gain some clarity that I would otherwise not have gotten and desperately needed to…

Isn't this the same video twice? Or is there a difference I'm just not getting? Either way, I enjoyed hearing the song twice.

You are still at that place, emotionally, where your brain is doing everything within its power to protect itself, which is very natural. Took me a long time to learn that that is what I did as well (and some therapy). If you haven't gotten some therapy and/or counseling, please do that if you can and/or are able. I…

That book will help you learn how to detach. It helped me a lot. So so so so much. Listen, he has to take responsibility for his behavior and for the way he treats you. One way he "rewards" himself is by self-medicating by picking fights with you. I am going to go out on a limb and guess that every time you guys have…

People who post that kind of thing don't care that it is triggering to rape survivors. They likely don't know what "triggering" even means. They probably do not even realize that people in their own lives have been raped and have been affected by it. It is just a concept to them. They have likely never been physically…

Moab is great. We were there during a summer season and took a river rafting trip. Great fun. The main drag down town has lots of good restaurants. Try any of them. We had our car, so we drove to the nearby parks and took the hiking trails through them. We loved it so much that we stayed an extra day (for three days…

A good book for you to read is Is it You, Me, or Adult ADD? Get it, read it, and absorb everything in it. I've been exactly where you are, so I'm gonna be harsh with you. This book will help you detach yourself from the situation and from your boyfriend, which you need to do to take care of yourself. YOU cannot fix or…

Didn't he say that his girlfriend aborted their kid and that he came to think of it as how that he has murdered it? Now he's saying that the kid died. Which is it, do you think?

Really interesting TED talk. I always learn something. Thanks for sharing!

E! Online calls out Jezebel by name in their headline: "Lena Dunham: Jezebel's $10,000 Vogue Retouching Expose 'Was Messed Up,' 'Felt Gross.'" They also link the entire interview. She almost asked for an apology from Jezebel. From the E! Online article:

I've always rubbed petroleum jelly into water rings on wooden tables, and it works like magic.

You're right. He responded to me and told me that my facts and figures were bullshit, "Most women who get pregnant go on to have healthy babies because how else could we have 7 billion people in the world." I'm not even gonna touch that logic. Then he went on another rant.

The Norwegians were shocked, too. After Kim skated, they said something to the effect that they believed we had just watched the gold medal skate and that she would make history by winning two gold medals just like Katarina Witt and Sonia Henie (who actually won three).

I did not read that particular article, but thanks for the heads up. I will stay far away.

He really does wear a strong set of rose-colored glasses, doesn't he?

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. Bless your heart. Wishing you all the best.

I hate to jump into this shit storm, but to say that most people who get pregnant have babies who are alive is not true. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says that of clinically recognized pregnancies, anywhere from 10-25% will end in miscarriage. And chemical pregnancies account for 50-75% of…

These people must have been part of a particular sect, because I knew a girl who was Pentecostal when I was growing up, her father was the pastor, and they went to the doctor. She was also vaccinated, because she had the familiar mark on her arm just like the rest of us. I just don't believe that all Pentecostal…

I haven't seen the whole series yet, just about half of season 1, but my first reaction was that she IS Lady Macbeth.

I think you can watch the whole thing on nbc.com tomorrow if you have a valid cable subscription provider. I watched the pairs program that way.
