No worries about spoiliers for me (apologies to anybody else who might be reading). I actually get so into what is happening to characters that I have to spoil myself or I´m too anxious to keep watching. Drives my husband crazy. He thinks it is beyond weird.

I had to do some serious Googling after Creepy Guard framed…

I hear ya on that. Actually, when I wrote my first response I had a few episodes left to go, so I didn´t know about Larry´s decision to go on NPR and blab like a source for Gossip Girl.

I totally understand the hate, but I really like how the show makes me reconsider myself and the things I take for granted every day. I like how they show Piper being forced to adapt to situations and solve problems that she otherwise would never have.

For me, I don´t mind Piper. I love the other women on the show…

Agreed! Piper goes to prison and Poppy acts like it´s all Piper´s fault when she, Poppy, does nothing to keep the momentum going on their soap business.

Wow, that really sucks about your circle of 'friends'. Congratulations on your baby, though!

You´re right, it is all about making the choices that are best for you, but there´s always some asshole who disagrees with your particular choice. First, it was your mom because she thought she was going to miss out on being…

I agree. I think a lot of stories, movies and more have used Merlin as part of their mythology. I´m really into Arthurian myth, but I think he´s a little played out. (Although if this show becomes a reality, I will probably watch.)

I think it would be neat to focus on the lesser-known stories or characters of King…

Thank you! I would love to get out of the grey permanently, but I´m still not clear on how it works, despite reading the FAQ 4 times.

Love me, everyone! Love meeeeeeeeeee!

I hate how this stuff is so ingrained into a lot of women they don´t even realize they are doing it. I support the sisterhood, and I get the societal pressure and all that, but it always manages to blindside me.

I work with a group of awesome ladies. They come from different backgrounds, have lived in several…

Yes! Yes!

Yes! What you said there, all of it.

I´ve even had this problem on online dating sites, for god´s sake. They can´t even see you, but they will guilt trip you for not being nice enough in rejecting them, or other criticisms. Yeesh.

Once, I had stopped checking my profile for a bit, and when I logged back on, I had 20…

In terms of body language, what Biebs was doing there indicates that he was extremely uncomfortable and feeling vulnerable. I think it was a function of him being nervous onstage, not necessarily him trying to draw attention to his crotch.

Around 1:54, he actually completes the gesture as it usually looks: he clasps…

No. That is some stupid shit. I get baggy and saggy and all the gangsta, from-the-projects connotations there. He´s trying to seem manly and tough. I also think it´s stupid, but I get it.

These pants, which are cut several sizes too large in the thigh and tight like skinny jeans around the leg — they just make it look…

Yes! I remember being really surprised at the movie when I saw it because, well, despite being awesome, it had a bit of a formulaic wacky set-up. (And yet was awesome in the end.)

I was convinced that at some point, Romy and Michele would get angry at each other over some small slight and begin using the lies against…

Omigod, I have to read the book again. I agree with everything you´re saying about Anne and Diana. Love Anne and Gilbert´s relationship.

Well, thank YOU for that! :) Ha.

I don´t know an anti-depressant from a hole in the ground, but I have heard about those side effects. I´d like to be Mother Theresa here and say that our sex life doesn´t matter as long as he gets better, but it DOES.

Ok, wow. I never would have thought of that. I will probably not be able to take him to his appointments, but I would like to attend at least one at some point and show my support, shake hands with his doctor, etc.

I can definitely talk to him about them beforehand, though, and see how he´s feeling.

Thanks for the…

'How can I help?' Got it. Ok. I think usually he says, 'You can´t.' But I will keep asking.

Thanks for your personal perspective there. As I said, I´m scared I will actually do something horrible and make his situation worse. I am an emotional person, too, and sometimes I get frustrated or angry (not at him, but at…

Argh. I thought it would be something like that. That´s what worries me - it´s so hard just to be supportive. I want to DO something to make it all go away, but of course I know that I can´t fight his demons for him.

I´m also a little concerned about anti-depressants. As I said, he hasn´t had his first meeting with…

Someone in the thread asked about how to handle a SO with alcohol problems, so I thought I would throw my hat in the ring.

My husband is depressed. Truly depressed. He lost his career at a very large tech company more than a year ago, and since then has not been motivated to find a new job. He is paralyzed with fear…

If you´ve come to the realization that you need to be away from him, it will probably do you far greater harm to stay with him just because of financial need than it will to strike out on your own. Yes, it will be tough to be alone for the first time in years, and your living situation will be turned on its head until…
