Thank you for saying this. I'm also a single mom, son was a surprise, boyfriend was a jerk. I have my own business and am far from rich but am managing and have a wonderful, polite, bright little boy. It can be tough as hell and yes kind of lonely sometimes, but every parent I know, not matter relationship status,…

Same thing happened to me. I got the DVD for my little boy, saw his name in the opening credits and turned into a sort of squeeing fangirl.

It is revolting when anyone is a victim of violence I agree. But the fact that someone is brutalized because of their sexuality, race, religion, or gender is particularly disturbing. That total strangers want to hurt someone so badly just because they view the person as an "other" or "less than" is something totally…

No please no more friggin' hipsters here! Stay in Brooklyn! Our rents are high enough!

Also never had a problem getting cabs to Astoria no matter what hour, generally as has been pointed out most of the cab companies are HQ'd in LIC so I even get off duty cabs w/ no problem. Also I've noticed that after they drop me they'll just head over to LaGuardia which is close by. But when I lived further out…

These women are awesome and brave, they really are. I am always shocked at the distortions and outright lies the right wing zealots tell about Planned Parenthood, pro-choice beliefs and the faux concern they claim to have for those poor brown and black babies. Well the black ones, the brown ones may be illegals so…

@WookieCookies: That would be great. If he does't like what they're wearing he can threaten to "tear out their endocrine system".

Yet another reason I will NOT fall asleep on the train no matter how tired I am. And duh, it clearly thought R train meant it was ok for ratties to get on board as well!

@AndPreciousLittleofThat: I think so many parents want/need to bask in the reflected glory of their child's success or live vicariously through the child that it becomes the only lens that they view parenthood through.

I hold this woman in such utter contempt. She's a liar and a hypocrite of epic proportions. Every single thing she rails against she has done herself but I guess that's o.k. Ugh.

I know it was just the clip pausing but it looked like Baba Wawa nodded off while telling the story which made it all the funnier.

I find this sad and also impractical. Raising these young women to be totally clueless about how the world works and to rely on her father to think for her basically is asking for all kinds of trouble.

This is insane really. When BabyFlair was born he was a little scrawny thing. Then he gained weight and was the cutest little chub baby, healthy as a horse. Now at three because he's active he's skinny again. I'd like him to eat more fruit and veggies but we're working on that.

@mordicai: I agree that they shouldn't be afraid in theory, but the Potter fandom (which granted is batshit insane as a whole) is notoriously hard to please and snarky. They would complain whatever she did. Also as Ron is based on her best friend and Hermione on herself maybe it just seemed like the logical thing in…

What's interesting is that the Hobbit stand ins for the stars in the LoTR films were not white except for maybe one so what's the big deal about an extra being non white?

@mordicai: And you know what, she was smart to do it that way. If she had made one of the main characters a person of color everyone would have bitched about the way they were portrayed, guaranteed.

I know this is getting a hearty laugh over at ONTD and also both Phleps twins denied it.

I'm proud to say I once dug my high heel into a guys foot for doing this to me when I was about 19. I was so meek at that age my actions even surprised me. Then a few years ago I got felt up and was getting off at the same stop so I harangued that asshole all the way from Lexington to Park Avenue, he practically…

Wow. Possibly the most literal example of adding insult to injury I've ever seen. Talk about refusal to take responsibility for your actions. Nauseating.

@DeccaLeChat: Well according to some folklore single women go to hell and lead apes so if you're gonna burn anyway off with you to the fridge!
