While I don't think President Obama really meant any offense by his comment, this is still an issue that is good to discuss and learn from. I am a staunch Obama supporter, who worked tirelessly this past Fall on promoting his campaign locally, but even people you like say the wrong thing sometimes. I think it's great…

I'm willing to bet that the majority of children's fears (especially bugs/animals) are conditioned from their parents/people around them. My mom works with animals. She has a business with exotic animals where she brings them to schools and kids' birthday parties/events to teach them about the animals and let them pet…

Yes, thank you! I've suffered with generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder for most of my life, and it's SO HARD. I have to teach the people closest to me how to "react" when I'm having an attack, and thankfully, they are totally supportive and try their best. It's got to be hard when I tell my boyfriend…

An ex of mine is a black male porn star. He pretty much only did interracial work (him + white girl). He also would have to act very "stereotypically African-American"- that is, he'd have to walk, talk, dress, and act like a gangbanger, while in reality he couldn't be more opposite than that.

I agree, but the teacher may not have been trying to be a jerk. Most likely she just didn't know how to handle the situation and felt like she would embarrass the girl if she singled her out alone to talk about her hygiene. The teacher probably thought that if she did a class lecture about it, the child would get the…

Haha, well if there's something wrong with you, there's something wrong with me too! Every episode of AHS, I would say, "Oh this is awful!! But sooo great!"

Oh my, I love her!! Didn't really notice her the first season (she had that very small part as a psychic), so I'm glad she had the opportunity to shine in Asylum! She is returning for the third season, I believe. I would love to get a role on AHS (I do some acting on the side)... I wouldn't even care if they made me a…

Did anyone else watch this past season of American Horror Story, where Lana received that horrific "conversion therapy" at the asylum?* Ugh. AHS has many scenes that are gruesome and hard to watch, and while this wasn't a bloody/gory scene, it definitely stuck with me as one of the most horrifying things... mostly…

Oh wow, you're right, thanks, I totally asked for it by being in a photo of something I sold on Craig's List! Victim blaming- good job!

Thank you, I appreciate it. Yeah, I'm still torn. Other commenters made really good points about telling the fiance, and I agree that she really should know. But I think you're right when you say she is not likely to be supportive of me. I have a feeling that the guy would say he didn't do anything wrong, that I'm…

Wow, thanks for your reply, and I'm SO sorry that happened to you!! That must have been terrifying. ((hugs)) I'm glad that you did something and that they felt the consequences of their actions. Hopefully he/they learned that they can't do stuff like that and get away with it, drunk or not. It does make me want to do…

Haha, possibly! Thanks, that actually made me laugh. He didn't get it for free, but for a very low price, and I know it's worth a whole lot more than that. I never would have sold it for that price if I was thinking clearly; I only agreed to it because I needed to get out of there!

Thanks, they are definitely not in my life! He lives very close to me, so the likelihood that I will see him around town are high, but I'm not friends with him or his fiance (I just went to school with both of them, and I'm FB friends with her but never talk to her). He has my email and phone number now, because…

Thanks, to you & everyone who has replied. You're right. It seemed "innocent" enough to me, although very, very creepy, when he was just ogling me, licking his lips, and saying things to me. That's why I tried to laugh it off at first; I guess that's how I deal with uncomfortable situations like that. When he put his…

Yeah I agree, the vitriol directed at her has always bothered me. She's obviously doing anything possible, including things that she'd rather not do, in order to support her kids, and the media skewers her for it. She's a pretty woman, and honestly I think she looks better having gained a little weight; it fills her…

Sigh. I feel this woman's pain, as I have definitely had very similar experiences.

This was my first thought as well! I would freak out about my boyfriend stretching out my clothes, and I highly doubt he would fit into even one of my very largest and loosest tops. He has at least 6 inches and 70 pounds on me. There's absolutely no way in hell he'd fit even somewhat into my jeans, skirt, dress,…

Don't be sorry for me. I take the pill (and have for years) and it's great for me. No side effects and I don't even get my period. It's great that Implanon works for you, but please, lose the judginess!! The whole point of this article is that women should be able to make their own choices about what to do with their…

Was he from one of the Storage Wars spin-offs? I don't remember him from the Storage Wars with Dave Hester, but I know there's Storage Wars: Other City(ies?)....
