Poor girl - she lost her close friend and then was treated like crap throughout the duration of her testimony. I feel like the prosecution also did not prepare her well enough for what she was about to face. This whole story makes me incredibly sad.

The harm is that the entire time you are presenting evidence and making arguments in the context of murder 2, which the prosecution clearly was not going to get Zimmerman on, and not explaining to the jury how manslaughter fits. The prosecution never brought up the possibility of manslaughter until it was obvious they…

She looks fantastic!

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Christian Bale. I've loved him since "Newsies" and "Little Women".

Be kind to each other. Try not to take out any frustration on him that is unrelated to him. Also, carve out some alone time for yourself - it will help keep you from getting on each other's nerves (which will happen regardless, but you can at least lessen the rate of occurrence).

Anytime. I really feel for you - this is just bad behavior on her part and incredibly hurtful. Frankly, I also question the values of your mutual friends - that the wedding is "her big day" is no excuse for her to be an asshole and treat loved ones badly. I really, really hate this prevailing mentality that just…

Nothing good can come of this. I think you need to pull away, even if you do feel sad about losing him. Otherwise, I think he will break your heart.

I totally see where you are coming from, but I could also see why she would be unhappy, if this is the way you couched your explanation. It would have been better to say something like, the girls I dated in the past were superficial and materialistic, and our relationships suffered for it (without mentioning how hot…

I would agree with your sister. I would consider places like Michigan, Ohio and Illinois part of the midwest (in fact, more so than the Dakotas).

So I had my bachelorette party last night (it was low-key, but tons of fun). I am seriously hurt today - just don't bounce back the way I used to. Now I am parking my butt on the couch, ordering pizza, and watching "Game of Thrones" and "Mad Men". Hope everyone is having a restful evening!

Judge not, lest ye be judged.

I think the high divorce rate stems partly from the pervasive pressure to get married that exists in American society. Despite the fact that there are increasingly more and more people staying single, we have it pounded into our heads by the media, friends, family, etc. that the default state of happiness is being…

Not depressing at all. If it weren't for the TV show, these people would never have gotten as far as they did. They were lucky it lasted as long as it did, and now they can return to obscurity, which is frankly where they belong.

I don't have much of a problem with him either. He was beautiful back in the day, and I love a number of his movies. Plus, I hear he's actually very professional and a really nice guy. He's just a little cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, so I'd rather he just kept a lower profile (as he seems to be doing these days) and act.

I'll grant you Olivier Martinez (I think Gabriel Aubry is much more attractive), but Viggo Mortensen is quite attractive when he's all cleaned up imho.

She's an asshole (a) for being so shallow as to rule out including a friend in her wedding party due to weight and (b) for actually telling you that she is excluding you for that reason instead of coming up with a kinder excuse. She does not sound like a friend at all and frankly, it seems like she's going to be a…

I'm with you. Bath is gorgeous.

As my father always used to say, you must respect the ocean. Also, the best way to get out of a rip tide is to swim parallel to the shore.

I have a butt-load of student loan debt, but my fiance is marrying me anyway, because, as others have noted, marriage is a team sport (obviously, it helps that I am paying it down responsibly, but still). And your partner can never celebrate your birthday because his dad died the same day? I get that the first year or…
