Well, I wasn't anyone's parent at the time—and the kids' parents all gave me two very enthusiastic thumbs up—so I didn't have to make excuses to any one! It was a joke I said once that became a tagline that parents/colleagues got a kick out of—and as far as kids spotting bullshit, maybe? I don't know? All I know is…

In the grand scheme of things I see you point, but in a preschool context, it's part of the job description to help kids start to contextualize and manage their emotional reactions. Getting grape jelly on a sandwich instead of the preferred strawberry is not grounds for a category 5 meltdown...this wasn't a…

I feel the same way. Especially because, as disgusting as the trolling is, it's one thing to do it over the phone/computer (impersonally)—and quite another to escalate it to breaking and entering and, it sounds like, stalking. That isn't trolling—that is felonious and truly terrifying behavior. If the two events are…

I am (w)racking my brain to figure out WTF is going on here...the death threats—ok, as mentioned, there are some vile, pitifully lonely people who are so desperate for attention that they'll seek out the "LULZ" through something as sick as harassing a grieving woman with completely fraudulent and unfounded "death…

Her step father was a truck driver? I looked it up and posted a link in response to KristenfromMA elsewhere in this thread...her (early) life doesn't sound nearly as cushy as you describe it. I actually think in that article, SJP very honestly discusses the kind of psychological whiplash one can get from having so…

No, you're right!

When I was a preschool teacher, the parents would come and tell me that they busted a gut laughing when little SuzieQ or TommyJ repeated my catch phrase at home when crying over some silliness, "Miss MamaMagistra says I shouldn't waste tears over this because my life is not that hard!" I did an "extended version"…

True—but she was living a private(ish) existence out there in Oregon? Sure, she'll always be a tabloid joke (hence the Beyonce lyric) but she WAS living her life as "not just the other woman"—till she plopped herself on the cover of a magazine and said, "Hey!!! Remember me?! I WAS THE OTHER WOMAN!!!" I think that's…

so this one made me so mad/sad, I had to let it percolate before I could articulate my exact opposition? Dollbaby, here's the thing: FEMINISM = letting your masculine/feminine/you-name-it-side ROAR without being blatantly and legally discriminated against for having a vagina. No one wants the boys to turn in their…

sigh. Rachel is waaaay more mature than I was at 8...or 18. I probably would've foregone the note and instead started to get VERY interested in whatever Lego construction/ "stupid human trick" being drunkenly performed at an illicit keg party (age 8 or 18, respectively!) that Shawn's friends Timmy and Gavin *just so…

SO funny you say that because (a) yes, it is; and (b) I never fail to put it on because the grand finale Bella number (w/ Just the Way You Are/Pricetag/Don't You Forget About Me/etc) never fails to simultaneously give me goosebumps + tears of happiness + make want to warble and hop around along with. EVERY TIME IT'S…

Setting aside the very questionable ethical/legal issues this whole thing might stir up, can we talk about how ANNOYING that press release is?! Jesus, it reads like a really cheesy casting call for an E! reality show...but IRL it's written by/for a police operation?! It sounds so...smarmy. "The worlds oldest…

Well, your day certainly shouldn't revolve around how any anonymous internet commenter feels about you—that'd be ridiculous!

Oh yes—there it is.

That kale is so hot right now.

Especially since she signed a prenup.

You know, I am just reading that Kode is doubling down and standing by its story. I would imagine they would only do that if they had legitimate sources/first hand knowledge of the interview's veracity, so I'm going with SO TRUE on this one.

That's what her camp is vehemently claiming (obviously)—but even some third-party sources are giving her the benefit of the doubt on this one. Callie summarizes some of the shadier points above—no author given on the interview, spelling errors in the piece, and, I mean, Lindsay is on this giant press tour right now…
