My ex is a sometimes recovering alcoholic. I have had my kids (they are all adults now) in therapy since they were little. I have taken them to al-anon and talked to them extensively about alcoholism, drug addiction all of their lives. It is a conversation that needs to be made all the time. Addiction is usually kept…

Yeah White Sox! I lived on Addison & inner drive and still rooted for the Sox!

I always used to give them a number 1 digit off. It always was easy to remember.

Actually, a friend of mine did run into Nic Cage (can I call him that?) and trots out a picture regularly of him with her in the background giggling. No such luck for me. I am strictly D listers. Flavor Flav, Michael Jackson's creepy father, some sheik or other. Although Dianna Ross showed up at a "Mommy and Me" once…

I live in LV too... but I only see Flavor Flav at the grocery store.

Because the Catholics were Irish who were considered lesser than the protestants. One other way to dehumanize the persecuted. THAT being said, this is some sick sick bullshit. These girls were forced to carry to term, treated like vermin because they were no longer virgins and then the babies were disposable. WHAT…

Only if the politician is a Democrat....

Exactly!!!

One of my son's best friends hasn't eaten bone in chicken since he was a child. He saw the chicken spinning around and around with its little wings waving at him...

Plus, I've got a birthday/graduation party for my daughter.... I will be buying LOTS of stuff at Costco this week!!! Not much booze, she is only 18. The adults will have some refreshments however.

I don't know. I know a vegan very well that has been following that diet since she was a child. She is brilliant, but is ALWAYS sick. My daughter's fiancee is a personal trainer and met her for the first time. He was really impressed how good she looked for someone in their 60's. Except she is 31. True story.

Because fox news would be out of business.

Or passing preventable diseases on to fragile newborns and elderly because of their right to not vaccinate.

I don't remember what I did when I was eight.... maybe play kick the can in the neighborhood?

I think that the drawings are great! I hope he gets this fixed soon!

I'm from Iowa... but now I live in Las Vegas. They are not much alike.

Yeah... I never give a shit. I just tell them to move over and stick my purse in part of the space they were occupying.

Actually, my dad had dementia from lack of oxygen during some COPD episodes and it actually did make him exactly like the crazy uncle (although not Tea Party level crazy... he still had some class!). My mothers Alzheimer' s was different though. She just did some crazy things like take off all her clothes when we had…

Really, it could be anything. She could be desperate to save her children or she could be out of touch with reality or just an awful person. The is not enough to go on. I have known situations where the mother is crazy mean and vindictive and others where that would describe the father. Most divorces, while painful,…

Fuck you.
