The article said that the dog was taken to the rescue group across town. LA is a HUGE city. If the dog escaped and was found I would think that she would have been taken to the nearest shelter. Instead, the dog winds up not at a shelter but at a rescue group that sells dogs at profits? Seems suspicious.

I'm glad to hear that they do good by the inmates, but its pretty heartbreaking to hear that people would intentionally commit crimes just to get needed medications. How awful.

I agree. I live in the Midwest and while we have great Mexican restaurants (due to the immigrants being enticed by the slaughterhouses like Tyson, but I digress) but we have no Italian places to speak of except Olive Garden. I grew up living an 1 1/2 away from the nearest city large enough to have one and it was…

Infirmary? In a jail? Holy shit - that's fantastic. Are jails where you are from more like prisons, then? Because here, in the Midwest (not rural necessarily - but not like Chicago or St. Louis) the jails are podunk and tiny. The idea of an infirmary is laughable. Its a closet that's locked and contains medications.…

I used to get pretty upset about people using this as an insult but your take on it convinced me its actually the.most.perfect way to describe Perry and others like him.

Iowa here. All the different schools in our area have stopped teaching cursive starting about 10 years ago, except for the Catholic school. What I really was shocked at was that now the schools have stopped teaching keyboarding because of texting and tablets.

I come from a small-midsize midwest city. Our diversity is almost zilch. When my son was born last year, I went to our local bookstore to buy boardbooks to read to him. I was ECSTATIC to find "Multicultural Babies." The story is simple - its basically all babies (and therefore all people) are beautiful. And they have…

My exboyfriend called himself a cracker and honky all the time. All.The.Time. All his friends did it. So you can't just make a blanket statement that white people don't call themselves by racial slurs either. I (personally) feel like cracker/honky (as a white person) stings less (if at all) than any other racial slur.…

I have an irrational hatred towards Laura Linney. Don't ask me why or how it got started. I said it was irrational.

I'm sorry that you don't like that phrase. I happen to love it. I had severe post-partem depression coupled with Borderline Personality Disorder. I felt like a disaster. A horrible mother. An ugly woman. Who would want me now?

ust let me know when and where! I'll bring my mom and sister, my stepdaughter and my son!

First off, let me say thank you for also supporting equality!

Yes! This! Prior to my pregnancy last year that's where I typically fit. The 14/15/16 range. Sometimes I could find something that fit in the smaller sizes but it was rare and everything in the plus sizes was just too baggy to look nice. Since the pregnancy, I've gained weight, so the plus sizes fit better but I'm…

That book scared the shit out of me when I read it in highschool. It scares me even more now because it seems everyday there is another bill or law that strips away our rights.

I have never seen that particular pompeii painting... that is so flippin cool!!!

Atleast from my standpoint, its not outing them because being gay is a bad thing, but rather exposing their hypocracy in publicly condemning and voting against LGBT rights and the engaging in the very acts they decry as abhorrent.

So much this.
