I think the whole point of watching this show is to make me feel less bad about my life. I mean, I have PTSD, but I wasn't kidnapped and put in a bag under a dead neighbor. My mother and father were hideous monsters, but they weren't Command and Terrorist Mama. So, I win?

I'm with you. I thought it was going to be 365 reasons he wanted to marry her. I watched it, and sped through most of it because it was creepy. And why couldn't he wear a shirt? Is he a wedding videographer, and this is a marketing ploy? When we talked about getting engaged, my husband knew that under no…

Just wanted to say this was an interesting read. I liked that she brought up preconceived notions of cheating on this site (and frankly everywhere), but how differently she and her husband handle their sexual situation. I'm glad she's safe and happy, and I hope her husband's medical condition - well, that he gains…

Totally agree. And, I found the original commercial creepy patriotic propaganda. If my daughter joined the armed forces and was potentially being sent to her death, well, I would not have that stoic, patriotic parental pride shit going on. Satire is supposed to use humor to criticize - which this skit did. It…

Absolutely true in at least 3 cases I know of. Of course this is where they gravitate! Best time of their lives/power over the powerless. It's hideous and true and fucked up. I'd also says out a full dozen of the teachers I've worked with in the past 5 years probably fit this profile. Disgusting and terrifying.

I'm sorry for what happened to you; in the past and just recently. Your recent experience of wanting to engage, but being unable to do it is TOTALLY NORMAL. In that it is a normal response ALL of us (in some degree) have to go through when we try to have sex again. You are not alone. I would definitely suggest…

I missed that. I think I even forgot about Stephen, so it probably went over my head. As soon as I saw his face, I remembered him.

this is next level weird - in a good way.

Right? I knew Abby would get it done, but I didn't see the Stephen connection coming. Nicely done Shondaland.

lady rainicorn - I thought Bing Bang was awesome. A nice play on words, wherein all the people who abolish APUSH also believe the universe was created by Chandler's sexual exploits on Friends.

what? But - how? Why? This is disturbing on so many levels. I'm sorry for your pain.

Mellie and Elizabeth: Bitches get Shit Done.

woo hoo! I forgot abt that guy!

I'd be fine with losing Quinn, Huck and even Abby. Fitz should be murdered by all of them. All of them, just get in that fucking house in Vermont, lure him there with the promise of some sexy times. Then, drown his ass in Liv's homemade bullshit jam and some maple syrup. Then Mellie can be Prezzie.

Sooooo true in history as well...

I'm so glad they gave Liv something to do in the negotiation scene. I'm annoyed with Fitz and Jake stomping around trying to save her. I just wish Abby would to save her already.

Which one is your favorite? I think Rachel might be mine. Or Helen.

Marian Keyes is a wonderful writer. Gorgeous language, turns of phrases, character development. AND not everything has to end in an awful collapsed heap on the floor, a la "literature." Sometimes you just want to read something well-written that doesn't make you hate all of humanity, you know?

Well-stated. But you're prolly a woman, so I'll just put that in the chick-lit category.

Thanks. I use as needed most of the time, but I have definitely ended up using daily for weeks on end, but not 3 times a day as prescribed. When I find I've taken the pills for more than 14 days in a row, I cut the pills in half to try and get myself "off" them, cutting back to every other day, every three days.…
