Call me crazy, but I find myself quite capable of feeling sympathy for both famous and anonymous people who die too soon as a result of drug addiction, overdoses, or any other reason for that matter. Just because celebrity culture is weird doesn't mean it's not sad when a celebrity experiences a real tragedy. And…

That doesn't make this situation any less shitty, but thanks for competing at the tragedy Olympics.

I'm not sure I get your reasoning. So are you saying you have less pity for Monteith's family because, though he was at one time a homeless junkie, we don't have proof that he was abused? Does someone with a drug problem have to hit the full trifecta of homeless, abused, AND junkie for your to feel some empathy for…

That was truly touching. I don't know what else there is to say

I agree. I think it would be good to tell the parents that the uninvite wasn't cool. To never invite the daughter is one thing, but to invite and then change their mind for that reason is mean. And I don't think its overstepping your bounds to say so. "None of your business" possibly occurs if you never got an…

I'm more curious about who the fuck sends Save the Dates for a child's birthday party.

To me, it was the being uninvited *after* the fact that makes this messed up. That's just straight up tacky.

Wow. A save the date for birthdays? WTF?

Ugh. That is shitty, shitty parenting, and they should be told it is, but... Yeah, best you can do is keep your daughter away from families that say superheroes aren't for her.

Just had the sex talk with my almost 7 year old son, at dinner. It was, luckily for me, during a narrow window of time when his 3 year old sister was away from the table, and he, as it were, popped the question. He knows about DNA and inherited characteristics, because we both have ridiculously red hair. So he…

ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK MARATHON!!!!!

Well Fox is, after all, the network that houses both Fox News and Family Guy, the latter who actively makes fun of the former. Whoa - it's almost like Fox is a massive business entity whose bottom line is profits, not political agendas! Maybe - just maybe - the whole existence of Fox News is to make money off of a…

When I was still dating, the rule was, "Whomever asks, pays." It worked pretty well. Nowadays my husband usually pays because his wallet is easier to get to than mine (large cavernous purse- much digging) and it makes no material difference.

I can't be the only one who saw the link, grabbed a credit card and then got really sad, right?

Okay, I'll admit it. I fucking Love Hoda and Kathy Lee. I would love to just be able to have them over daily for drinks and shit from 8-11. We'd have wine (seriously, have you tried sparkling wines with bitters? We'd spend the year trying different combos), do an art project from Pintrest, have a snack, and I'd sleep…

And to make that connection—that is the guy that kidnapped that girl on the news. That blows my mind. I see so much news blow past me nonstop. I always wonder how I would react if I was in a situation like this, if I actually recognized someone. And you know he is willing to kill. I have chills.

Mostly some kids in Drama Club. So there wasn't too much sex anyway.

It's not being blase, it's being realistic and letting your children not see sex as a shameful thing. In parts of Europe it's an accepted thing that teenagers (around 16) are sexually active. I would argue against the moving in thing, since that is a level of commitment you get when you can afford your own place.

I've thought about this. While I wouldn't want my teenager being sexually active in HS, judging from my own shenanigans, they WILL find a way. I'd rather they did it under my roof in a safe environment after I've set out the ground rules and given a very thorough sex talk, than pretend they won't have sex, and have…
