"Rock stars have kidnapped my son!"

I think it's definitely the culture of the entertainment industry and I can't imagine the pressure these women must be under to remain young-looking forever. Even insanely beautiful people do shit to their faces and I find it so sad, but I don't judge them at all. I can't imagine what I would have done if I were in…

It seems to me like he was fucking with her personally. My husband gets extensions for all kinds of reasons, including "being really swamped" and "taking vacation." That judge had it out for this woman and I hope she sues his pants off.

Because judges grant extensions for ALL KINDS of reasons. My husband got one to turn in an appeal late because he was really busy. He got another one for our vacation. The judge was intentionally being a dick.

Yes, and health officials have all been trying to COMBAT the paranoia.

If you are thinking about suicide daily, please please PLEASE seek help. Making low income is not a reason to kill yourself.

A friend of mine worked in the handbag department at Nordstrom, and that's how we figured out how all those society bitches can be photographed with the latest handbag at every event. They would buy the latest, use it, even get their picture in the paper carrying it, then return the damn thing. It drove my friend nuts…

There is a super popular independent bookstore in Austin that pays similarly. The urban legend is that to get a job there, you have to a) be friends with someone who already works there, and b) that person has to vouch for you to management that you have other sources of income. Most people who work there do it for…

I think it was less racism and more lack of insurance. I am convinced that despite his race, if Duncan had had insurance at the time of his initial arrival to the hospital, this whole situation would have looked very different.

I didn't realize Engagement Chicken was originally based on a Marcella Hazan recipe. Marcella IS a magical empress, though, so maybe the claims are true!

Exactly. And I'm sorry, but I cut some slack to some overworked ER nurse who probably sees hundreds of people every day for not jumping to the EBOLA! conclusion when s/he first met Duncan. People are kind of ridiculous for expecting that from our overworked and underpaid hospital staff.

Well, I asked my PA about this when I went in for what I suspected was strep, and she said that the symptoms of Ebola are similar to many other illnesses in the first stages of the disease. A hospital is unlikely, even if the patient indicates they have been to a certain area, to suspect the most unusual thing using…

Yep, they've used my content to lead into the Halloween scary stories last year and for the Horrible Bosses stories. They've used multiple of my tips. I still can't get followed, and there are known trolls around here who post horrible racist shit and are followed. I got followed by Kitchenette after one post. I…

I think the fact that the CDC is blaming the hospital is sort of bullshit. How could health professionals in Texas be expected to suspect something as unusual as Ebola? I do agree that they should have given him better treatment, but that has to do more with our fucked up insurance system than it does anything else.…

"it really bugs that we're relegated to the greys along with shitheads like this." YES, YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES. What the ever-loving fuck to do I have to do to get followed by this blog? I have had stories main paged and used to lead in to other stories, I have given them tips they have used to make posts. UGH. I…

Ugh. He replied to me too. Dismissed but ugh. Also, i wish dismissed posts would go away from our alerts as well.

Yes! That would be awesome. I didn't know it was so easy to jump IP addresses. Damn.

SO SICK of this. Why won't they ban the IP address?? He just keeps coming back with different burners.

My sister-in-law, an otherwise lovely person, always leaves Thanksgiving dinner early to go shopping. It really pisses me off. It's my husband's family's year for Thanksgiving this year, and I am looking forward to it about as much as a root canal.

Trust me, servers and delivery drivers remember who tips well and who is shitty.
