An oldie but goodie:

This is me at work right now.

I like it...Dude didn't really know what to sing so he just started singing "I just don't know" and it worked.

I was not the prom type at all. I had no interest. I was sort of an outcast at school, one of those gothy girls who thinks she's special because she can recite Poe from memory. Yeah. I know.

It's incredibly sad that, despite her very private mourning, whenever she decides to share a memory of him with the world, people label her. Apparently you've never lost anyone. 20 years from now she will still commemorate his birthday in some small way and honor his memory. Those that felt the need to take the time…

Hugs to you. Snappish or not, I'm also a little annoyed by everyone who feels the need to couch their condolences in "Well I really don't like her because of XYZ." Don't worry people, we recognize that you're all way too cool to actually like someone like a mainstream actress/pop singer on a show for teenagers. You…

Why would you post this??

I lost my fiance and partner of 5 years to a heart condition. Our twins were only 8 months old. Something I can say 3 years-post loss of a true love is that it doesn't get better. You just learn to deal with it and cope. I am really glad that she is keeping her head up and staying emotionally strong. Too many people…

they look this happy in every photo. they all make me cry.

This is a lovely tribute.

Oh, go fuck yourself

Y'know, I don't pay much attention to celebrities or their personal lives, but it's damned near impossible not to let your heart go out to this girl. Whatever her career is, she's a human being who loved somebody and lost them, and fuck the circumstances, because however it happened that is universally one of the…

I'm normally fairly stoic, but there's something about losing one's significant other/fiance/husband that just destroys me.

My youngest daughter spent all day cuddling with me, which was great. I made a great lunch and even made dessert yesterday. Of course, now my evening with my kids was highjacked by my Evil In-Laws (tm), but the little one went, said "Hi grandma!" on Skype, completely ignored her aunt, and came back to cuddle me. So I…

All I ever want is brunch. We go to the same restaurant every year, I always get French toast and a mimosa. We went this year, and apparently they no longer serve brunch. :| It wasn't a total bust, though. My potato soup was good, my daughter made me a card that made me cry (her life wouldn't be the same without me!),…

No, not when the beating heart in question belongs to a fetus that is inside of a woman. Her rights always trump the fetus's rights. There should be regulations that have nothing to do with religion and bullshit like that, but everything to do with actual science and safety. So, yes to late-term, medically…

I don't know - why don't we ask the scores of anti-choice hypocrites who staunchly support the death penalty?

Great news for North Dakota. Sadly, Alaska just passed anti-abortion legislation yesterday. They voted to cut all state medicaid funding for abortions except when the mother's health or life is in danger (nothing for incest or rape) and to cut the amendment for a women's health program aka birth control.

I disagree completely. There is nothing identifiable about the child in this picture and I wouldn't put it here if there was, trust me. But showing this photo adds a very powerful visual element to this story that hammers home the severity of the situation that words just would not be able to do. I say that as someone…
