My dad was a dentist. No, it's not a scam. It was not uncommon for my dad to see children with teeth that severely rotted out. Usually it is due to poor diet and hygiene, but it can be caused by medical problems as well (reflux.) My cousins were a good example of the poor diet and hygiene. No matter how much my…

How terribly sad. I feel for the little girl and her family, but it is something that happens from time to time.

Pretty much anyone who pays the application fee and yearly dues gets accepted.

Yes. Always taking applications for new bffs.

shutterfly had the templates, then I did a little photoshop magic with some internet pics. For a little bit extra, shutterfly will even send them out for you. They have a lot of promotions so you can usually get a good discount if you look for one.

Just got the umpteenth card in the mail of happy couples/families/pets looking all coordinated and lovely and wishing me a happy holiday.

Shockingly, this movie does pass the Bechdel test, barely.

Don't forget, he spins in a few tortured circles before zipping it up and storming off.

Does anyone else really hope this "friend" is Josh Hutcherson? I do.
