did she say he raped her? no. she said he behaved in an unwanted sexually-charged behavior to her. reading comprehension isn’t your strong point, is it?

and if he was “only” 14, and is now 27.... that would be 2002, not 2006.... so was he 14 or was he 18?

they deserve protection as much as they deserve an education.... which means “none”. Because only the boys matter.

and the Today show, that THRIVES on trotting out this band ‘o’ freaks and gives them a bully pulpit to “make an announcement” everytime one of their multiple women gets knocked up. As if getting knocked up is some kind of once-in-a-lifetime event....

YES! thank you when I was home full time (granted, i ran a licensed day care home in those years) I managed our entire family budget/income. what’s distasteful t0 me in this article is the implication that these women have no agency in their own financial lives

priscilla’s looking a bit like the girl from Nightmare Before Christmas

agreed; however I will simply not give them money. I don’t feel the need to lambast them for their greed.

35 years ago, I was on a road trip with friends the day Mt St Helens exploded. We had to reroute thru Yellowstone. I will never forget coming around a bend in the boardwalk, to find a buffalo standing about 25 feet away from me. Nor the idiot tourists dashing around me to get a picture “with the buffalo”

does he have witnesses? no? when then it’s his word against hers and we should ALWAYS assume innocence....

I find that dress amazing. For something like the Met Gala, where it’s balls-to-the-walls, it’s perfect and breathtaking.

why is he responsible for his grandmother? are his parents, aunts, uncles not around?

yeah, but we’re not joking about the rain. 9 months (mid september - july 1, basically)

I” in the Pac NW too - just remember that *most* of the country is much more formal than we are here. So ‘business casual’ by PNW standards is ‘way too casual’ is most of the country. Good luck on your intership!

I’m so sorry you’re in this situation. The cynic in me says that if he’s not interested in reconcilation, then why has he reverted to being Mr Nice Guy? You know him better than any of us - just take care of yourself. If he doesn’t want to reconcile, then you shouldn’t be “taking care” of him, IMVHO

having my own stuff around me is critical to my mental health.

I am so sorry. I have lost both a beloved kitty and a beloved dog in the past two months. I know you loved your kitty and he had a good life with you. Pets take a huge chunk of our hearts when they leave us.

I doubt she knows who Sally Hemmings is/was

weren’t we just discussing whether (some) men brag about their affairs? and someone here was all “no, no, no, men are all ashamed of what they were doing”?

apparently both of them were married. which makes it shittier still - the pain they both intentionally knowingly caused their respective spouses, the disruption to their work environment. and, yes, I will judge. don’t hurt other people - that seems rather obvious. cheating hurts the spouse. period.

I’m wondering if I should be impressed that this group of right wing evangelical types actually admitted Catholics are Christians....
