Haha - it’s like they are outing themselves as hourly workers without paid vacation days... Sad!

You are correct! Meg Ryan’s character decides to write a book all on her own. Joe Fox never offers her a job. Although she does credit him with inspiring her to write her own book (when she still doesn’t know it’s Joe Fox and just thinks it’s her random pen pal). Still, that is hardly making her dependent on him.

No - this is the part where I admit that I watch this movie every year and have it completely memorized. It was also filmed in my neighborhood, and I walk my dog where they finally united in the end every day. So it’s basically my life. Joe Fox’s ex girlfriend wanted to give Kathleen Kelly a job, but Kathleen Kelly…

It’s strange because the Vick thing got so much press - I guess since he was actually caught and arrested - but no one ever paid any attention to Pitbull’s comments on Howard Stern about being a dog fighter and participating in dog fighting. I hate it that he calls himself by their name, because he’s an animal abuser…

He is a certified world class piece of shit. The story of how he got “his” name is that he was on his way to a dog fight and his friend suggested it. Torture of innocent animals, so cool! Also he spreads the incredibly stupid myths about pitbulls having locking jaws, etc.. He’s an idiot and a sociopath, just like…

That poor puppy! He looks so emaciated and terrified in the photo. Disgusting! People like this should be banned from ever owning a pet. This is going to seriously diminish my enjoyment of re-watching “Just Friends” every Christmas...

Wonder if my Republican single-mother sister will regret her choice... nah - she’s had 2 abortions and still votes Republican every election. I’m sure she’ll find another way to rationalize it...

I am crying with laughter and I don’t know WHY and it’s actually making me feel a little bad about myself!

Having experienced a slightly similar situation myself - I didn’t take the money and I can’t recommend that feeling of satisfaction highly enough. My mom refused to come to my wedding because my father would be there (they divorced ~20 years ago, both happily remarried, and no he didn’t cheat, she’s just crazy). She…

I think it’s great that she’s donating the money, but I think it’s sad that she basically had to. I’m all for the concept of “hazard pay” and she earned some.

THIS. Kurt Metzger has a long and gross history of being a rape denialist and harassing women online. This is hardly the first incident, and there’s no way Amy Schumer didn’t know about it. Also, super gross of her to be only asking him to stop because it “comes back to” her, versus “stop because this behavior is…

No - this was in Florida (because of course!) - these creeps are everywhere :(

I’m sorry that happened to you. Whenever I’m in a roomful of women and the stories start coming out, I always think “this is so much more common than anyone realizes...”

Ugh - I had the same experience in high school - my freshman year. This guy who was a TA to one of my teachers hit on me, and I had a total breakdown and told the guidance counselor - and he denied it, and they tried to make me APOLOGIZE to him for my “misunderstanding.” That pervert is probably still teaching.

YES - this place is total garbage. The animals are illegally purchased from Indonesia and life lives of complete and abject misery - several investigations into this disgusting place have been done.

And I’M pretty sure those orangutans live a life of abject misery.

I’m sure your friends are nice people who truly love their dogs and look out for the ones they adopt out, but unfortunately bully breeders, even the ones who aren’t “backyard” breeders - are still contributing to the enormous and heartbreaking problem of the overpopulation of that breed. I own a pit mix that I got…

My nutritionist demands it as well - I get it over with by making a green juice in my vitamix (baby spinach with some lemon juice, stevia, ginger, water and ice) and chugging that down.

And of course, breaking with the rich and storied tradition of all of our former presidents moving into struggling neighborhoods to single-handedly revitalize them upon leaving the White House!
