Vanessa's topless lesbian porn photos helped her get started in her career. Jeri's marriage to the politician broke down when he explicitly made it clear that he expected to "share" her with other connected men at a private sex club, that was part of the marriage contract; she complained and divorced him. Beautiful…

I invite you to hate me while I mention the elephant in the room that everybody is forgetting: Raising one kid to the age of 18, at best estimates, costs something like $200,000 AFTER TAXES.

(Apologies if this posts twice; I tried to submit and it seemed to disappear.)

Eh, old people and weight obsession. My grandmum and my honey's elderly mom were fat phobes. Along with their racism (well one was racist, the other one wasn't.) So if someone had a few extra pounds, they thought that person was stupid, or dirty, or just plain unacceptable. Very strange.

I hear ya, Lindy. It's a mixture of fatigue, growing tired of the endless daily decisions of "choosing your battles" and deciding when and where it's worth talking about, and sometimes just wanting to pretend it isn't real so you can get through the day without increasing the size of your frown lines.

Sometimes a hospital is pretty screamingly, obviously Catholic — calling itself St. Mary's, for example. But the irony is this: my elderly mother in law received excellent care at a local St. Mary's. But you'd never ever, ever, catch me going there, not even in an emergency, because it is one of those "no abortions…

If you really love someone, you commit to working through each of your issues. True love isn't for sissies. It's making a commitment to love someone even though s/he isn't perfect (and you aren't, either.) And it only works when both partners are on that same page. This kid is just part of the "disposable…
