My mom made arrangements YEARS before she died to be donated to the local university medical school. Not only was it free, it alleviated the trauma of me having to deal with all the complications of dealing with what to do with a body when someone dies at home— a friend just called the number while I sat in my…

Well, she’s 42... It wouldn’t be unheard of. (I think we all collectively still think of her as a 20-something socialite)

I did watch the documentary and just still don’t understand.

I suppose I just don’t understand the dynamic. I get someone wanting to join a group, or a commune, or a society—whatever you want to call them—but I don’t understand a group of friends and their families being okay with one guy showing up, asking to sleep on their sofa and btw he’s their savior, though? It’d be…

We all struggle with the urge to respond to idiots :( I know I do.

Years ago a friend of my mom was out shopping in London and only after wandering into a Louis Vuitton store realized she was carrying her knock off LV handbag. She was ready to be mortified but the salesperson greeted her with “omg, you have the XYZ bag, we just got the matching hatbox in, if you’d like to see it!”

Oh! You’re just an idiot. How is asking someone to be a surrogate for free, and to take on all of the associated financial, physical, and emotional costs MORE ethical?

What a shitty take in so many ways. How do you know she wasn’t considered a high-risk pregnancy and didn’t want to take the chance of losing a baby she clearly wanted? As for the concierge team— ummm yes, if I chose to be a surrogate for someone I would 100% feel better about it if I know they had a team of doctors to…

Key words: “modern condo”

I kind of understand what you’re saying, but I just can’t imagine a world in which a 19-20 year old would view their dad’s friend MOVING IN to their house and suddenly giving them “life advice” as being a normal thing to just accept? Like I said in another comment above—if that had been something that happened to me…

Literally copied that quote and was ready to paste it when I saw your comment. I’m sorry, but... something upset your solar plexus? Can I use this excuse at my job? “I’m sorry boss, but my solar plexus just gets really irritated when it comes to quarterly reviews :/”

Felicia’s story sounds especially awful, too. She clearly seems mentally unstable or ill. I mean this without judgement or stigma, but if someone you know starts to believe that their family tried to poison them because the dad of a friend they just met tells them that... it’s time to get that person help.

I know this isn’t the biggest issue at hand by FAR, and this man is a gross person, but imagine being able to grow a full beard and choosing to shave it into that fucking shape instead.

Again, I could understand this more if they gravitated toward him (say, he opened up a yoga studio or something in town and they started visiting regularly) but he LITERALLY just showed up in their home and started giving them “advice” without any of them asking for it. This isn’t at all like they were going to an…

Yes, I do, because I visited Sarah Lawrence when I was visiting potential colleges. Which is why I said what I did—the videos and photos I’ve seen of where these people lived looks way more like a modern condo than something you’d live in while at Sarah Lawrence, even in the immediate area.

The very moment any of my friends’ parents had tried to, like, give me life advice or “counsel” me or something like this bullshit around me when I was in college I would have just said “okay Mr. X’s father, I have to go to class now, goodbye”.  Even at 18/19 I would have known better. 

Yeah, this literally could have been handled in court and no one (outside of immediate family) would have probably ever heard about it.  But, thats celeb life! Publicize the shit outta what you can, I guess?!

This whole story is so confusing to me, and even with all the media coverage I still can’t seem to make sense of it. It seems like he initially “moved” into a dorm at AL but then convinced everyone to come live in his apartment in Manhattan? (and a lot of the footage/photos I’ve seen do NOT look like SL dorms) Did…

Yeah, this is not a story about a woman who had to, like, sell her jewelry to escape a spouse like the headline implies it is.

Gives you that beautiful (bright orange) base tan, ha.
