I’m glad it helped you feel better. It’s also true. Good-hearted people who work to be helpful to others are thin on the ground these days, and we need every one of you.

Ch’an Buddhists in China have a practice that I have latched onto since I read about it several years ago. When they lose someone, they identify the traits the person had that they most loved and want to keep in the world, and do what they can to embody those characteristics in their own lives. So what would you want…

I think this is a pretty understandable emotional reaction.

Feel free to ignore this, but: your ex is being kind of a dick. Maybe not on purpose, but it’s awfully convenient to want to be friends without actually supporting you (in part because actual support isn’t something he’s really in a position to provide). And he does NOT need to bring up this new person to you, at all.

He has decided to fight til the end. It’s how he’s attacked this whole thing, and how he will continue to attack it. There’s only one more treatment type he can go through, it’s a five day stint sort of thing so if it makes him so miserable he doesn’t want to continue, he doesn’t.

Lol, seems easy for him to say “let’s stay friends and hang out”! Take care of yourself.

If you are ok with just being friends with him, then I say ask him over for Thanksgiving. Maybe you could say you’re hosting a “Friendsgiving” and would love it if he came. That takes the pressure off of him and you. Invite a couple of others who may be alone, too. Have fun!

What kind of insider knowledge could she possibly have that would exonerate him?

Was she drunk when she wrote that statement? Why would she think that sounded good at all?

“I’ve known him for five years —a veritable lifetime—and not once did he rape me as a 17 year old, so nothing to see here. BRB, there’s a handsome black man not paying attention to me and I’ve gotta make that shit public.”

The statement was so maddening my mind shut down. It’s like she read Kevin Spacey’s apology/coming out and was like “Kevin, hold my beer.”

I think she highlights a very important message for today’s youth. Never tweet. Nothing good can come of it.

I’m so disappointed in Gabby. Like why??

Even though I was warned and I’ve always know Lena Dunham is putrid trash, I was actually surprised by how revolted I was when I read her statement.

You know you’re about to have to do one of these for Gabby Douglas, right?

If Roy Moore loses, it means redder-than-a-baboon’s-ass Alabama is sending the rest of us another Democratic senator.

The chortle evoked by ‘creep-adjacent ‘ brought the dog over to worry-lick my face.

get many of their ideas into Bill!”

“If Democrats were not such obstructionists and understood the power of lower taxes, we would be able to get many of their ideas into Bill!”

Sorry, how does Moore’s wife think that revealing his history of sexual assault is an attack on her?
