Amy appeared to struggle in ways that other people, not just artists, struggle. I too never thought that she would die so soon and I am sorry that she's gone so young. Just as I'm sorry that thousands of people, and a lot of those people are children, are starving to death at this very moment.

That was the trailer? I thought it was a short film.

Unfortunately this occurs outside of Texas also as I experienced it in Louisiana.

Agreed on the Regina King - that Southland episode was amazing.

I'm a sweater too and my jeep does not have air conditioning here in Texas, so I understand. I compromise by wearing cotton tees during the summer - which lasts almost 9 months here in Texas.

This makes me sadder than I can express and supports the fact that kids need exposure to all sorts of dolls and people of different ethnicities.

I can't believe this guy isn't married again already. Sounds like a catch. (I wanted to do a little baseball-esque type thing in his honor.)

What does it mean to "fit into corporate culture"? I was told that the new VP didn't like my hair style. Nevermind that I had this hair style the entire time I worked my way up in the company from the bottom.

That bit that involved baseball caused my brain to glaze over.

Highlights for me:

She was given a choice of a procedure or letting her body to it naturally. She decided to allow her body to handle it which is good since the baby was alive.

I listened to a few minutes of this and thought the same thing. Why are you singing about the one who didn't work out on your wedding day to someone else?

I'm from New Orleans and spend my life there being asked if I was from another country/city/state. As a child I didn't understand this, but by junior high I completely understood what that question meant. I was expected to speak a certain way because I'm black, by both black and white people, and to this day that…

Or spending actual time with said kitties.

As someone working two jobs and going to graduate school, with a mortgage payment, I get having expenses. The point of serving on a jury isn't about compensation and you can state that it would be harship for you to serve.

I understand it doesn't help financially. Gratefully my job pays for serving for jury duty and I've only been on short cases.

I think I just lost brain cells reading that part.

Still not an excuse for cashing in. Having sat on several cases myself I can not imagine talking about the case publicly and cashing in on it, especially when it involved a child's death. Because the media does something horribel does not mean we all need to go there.

One of my cats does this. I'm sure he's part raccoon.

When I waited tables in the French Quarter I carried scissors and a small can of hair spray with a small lighter glued to it.
