Russell Crowe's performance was so terrible that it instantly became my favorite performance in the entire movie.

I KNOW. And the worst part is that my mom has never seen the musical live and dislikes the wttw version because lets face it staged readings aren't THAT exciting... and so she thinks his performance was "great" and I'm just "picking on him" for being a mediocre singer.

UGH. My feelings on Russell Crow in Les Mis remain a constant "WHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY".

And they still chose Russell Crowe....

40 Degrees is the new 80 degrees. I live in Chi-beria.

I have a deep and abiding love for Chuck Taylors, but they are possibly worse winter shoes than flip flops. The rubber sole, once it gets cold (and boy, does it get cold FAST once you're outside) is like holding a block of ice to your feet. I made the mistake of wearing them to a football game in November, and I am…

I can see how it is not fiscally responsible to spend on a haircut when you need meds. Maybe the meds she is forgoing is pain meds. Being that she was with someone that turned into an addict, maybe she thought twice of personal comforts through medication and thought a day feeling like a princess was much more…

Did everyone miss that she spent that after getting her tax return and DID eventually in that same time frame, see a Dr. about her prescription needs? Regardless, F anyone who would criticize her getting her hair done ONCE. Raising one kid by myself NOT in poverty takes all the life out of me some days. And sometimes,…

If her Rx is uninsured, it is quite possible that $90 wasn't going to be a drop in the damn bucket.

Gilbert had the gall to spend $87 on a haircut in the same scene where she laments forgoing her own prescriptions because they cost too much

Working 16 hour shifts.... all week.....for days on end
LET THE WOMAN HAVE A NICE HAIRCUT WITHOUT RIDICULE!

I've done this with reputable rescues. We don't have or want pets, but we want to make sure that animals are adoptable should a family want them.

Paczkis! Heaven. Let me add this to the list of things I miss about living in Chicago.

here, lemme eat some of these paczkis and I'll be well on my way.

I watched The Walking Dead and Talking Dead...much more entertaining than a way-too-long awards show.

Barbie paid New Kids on the Block's Donnie (in doll form) to have sex with Skipper after their date. As an attentive older sister, Barbie wanted to ensure that Skipper "had a good time."

I do the exact same thing. If I'm really mad...venting. If I am really, truly sad, depressed, heartsick....radio silence. I know there are times I should reach out, but I just feel like such a damn burden, which only makes me feel worse.

Hey girl who's friend pulls away... Umm, I have severe depression, and my best friend (who lives a few hours away) has had some major issues with post partum depression, her husband being an asshat, all that kinda thing in the past few years, and when we had/have simultaneous breakdowns, we don't rely on one another…

I keep getting confused by people from other states talking about liquor stores (another Illinoisan here - oh and welcome!). Here, liquor stores are just one of many retail establishments that sell all kinds of booze, and sometimes snacks and lottery tickets. Same with my home state of Michigan. It appears that in…

God bless Illinois. Even the hair salons will booze you up.
