You're not stupid. Sounds like you had higher expectations of trying to reason with this guy than he was obviously capable of. I loved when Melissa McCarthy responded to Rex Reed she didn't feel the need to explain why it's fine for her to be the size she is, she was just like, 'he must be unhappy and I'm happy so…

Since Paula is not looking for work, I'd like to hire her but with a few qualifications:

I've always had a fear of driving and have only met one other person who has admitted to having the same fear. I got my license in high school in order to work part time at Baskin Robbins and drove the long way each time so I only had to make right hand turns. I remember one time a co-worker asked for a ride home…

I'm glad this site is anonymous in admitting something here. I'm mid-thirties, married to a wonderful husband and two perfect kids (perfect mostly when they're sleeping at least, during the day is a different matter), and yet I think if I had never met him (would never have 'settled' for one of my exes just to get…

People who have enough going on in their own lives and are happy with their lives don't degrade other people like this. Your co-worker sounds like the one who deserves some pity.

It's beyond me why you and the other commenter decided that to not be in love with Obama means I think Hillary Clinton walks on water. It is possible to be more nuanced than that. I'm seriously not being snarky, if you want to disagree with me you have every right but putting words in my mouth that I don't even feel…

I find the general mood in the country that people are trying to be more aware nowadays of when women are treated differently and people, mostly men but sometimes women, are called out more on it. No doubt a lot of this happens because of the internet and how almost everything is captured on video, although anything…

I know this is a post about Peggy, who certainly deserves to be talked about, but it made me think of the Betty Draper character and I remember at the very beginning of the show people thought she was interesting and then that general feeling veered wildly into a deep dislike of her. And I definitely remember one of…

I never said it was dastardly, that kinda sounds like it being evil. I thought it was uncalled for and demeaning to talk about her professionally and then laugh about how hot she is. Although I don't doubt he had no intent of it being demeaning it can still be demeaning. It's all about context and it didn't sound…

There's always such a disconnect for me when I realize Angelina Jolie is in her mid-thirties. She certainly doesn't look any older, maybe younger even at times, it's just when I think of the size of her family and all the stuff she's done, I feel like she should be in her late forties or something.

Wait! I mean, just hold on here, people! How are we now supposed to know if the young woman you know, deserves that contraception??? I mean, it's like it doesn't matter if the sex was consensual or what she was wearing or if she's religious or an honor student or what her race is or how her parents feel about it…

I'm not sure where you read that I was a Hillary fan. I would rather move than have Sarah Palin as a VP or President but I sure didn't just shrug when sexist comments were made about her and say well she's worse than others so who cares. You're reading things that aren't there to fit a non-existent narrative of you…

Omigod, I TOTALLY forgot the equation where if someone is more arrogant to you it means you're not arrogant at all. Oh, wait, that's total bullshit. Obama's not a token saintly minority hollywood likes to use so often so they can say, here's a black character so we're not racist and yet he's 100% good so we don't…

I've voted for Obama twice, would do so again, and while he's certainly likable ("enough") and I admire him as a political leader as well as his family, I never liked his personality as much as my friends and the public in general do. I don't hate or dislike him strongly, but the arrogance I felt he had when he ran…

Roger Ebert, through his movie reviews, tweets and writings in general, made me think of him almost like a college professor whose class is always full, takes the time to talk to all the students that show up for office hours, and is remembered by them as having been their favorite professor. I never met him but…

I think I should incorporate this language into everyday use:

YES! I love that show. And I thought Bob was such a great character - comic relief for sure but also a badass inside of that fumbling constable.

I read your post and a bunch of the responses and one, I hope they're helping at least for you to see that people who don't even know you care enough to try to help you feel better. Two, like a lot of the responders at one time I felt very similarly to the way you feel. I was definitely depressed after getting…

The fooler :)
