I was just sick when I heard that. Since when does Christianity espouse jihad? Convert them or kill them? Jesus Christ! The worst thing was see my Facebook wall covered with people posting this and saying they agree with him ... I've hidden a dozen posts at this point ...

Maybe ... and this is just a maybe ... they (we) remember the "This Love" days? When he wasn't QUITE so douchy? I don't know ... I went through a period a couple years ago when I will (begrudgingly) admit that I thought he was hot. But right around the time I saw the video for "Misery," I was like ... damn ...…

I came here to post the same thing! Love me some Al ...

LOL ... in grade school, my best friend's mother read romance novels ... and anything else that was racy. We had access to ALL her books. Ruth was awesome ... very open. She said when we were ready to read things like that, we should have access to them. So, I read the Flame and the Flower... and the Wolf and the…

Thanks ... the hugs are appreciated.

I know right ... I think I said something childish back ... something like, "Yup ... I'm a liberal. And YOU'RE a cracker ..."

Yup ... living the dream right here. My brother waltzes into town twice a year, does some simple task that Mom has around the house and hosanna ... he is amazing. I call her everyday ... check on her ... fix her computer issues ... took her to get a new phone and taught her to use it.

I finally confronted my brother. He lives in southern Tennessee just north of the Alabama border so I only see him once or twice a year. He's said offensive things for YEARS ... and I always let it go. He would say the "n word" and I would just clam up and go home angry and upset. Finally I thought, "Enough!"

It's odd how some story lines are so fluid ... Cerci and the constant scheming and her winding up the way she does (spoilers) ... but Dany's storyline just seems to DRAAAAAAG. Get on with it!

I agree with another commenter ... It's not that the Sand Snakes aren't awesome. Really they have a great storyline. But it's SO late in the story to be introducing another family line. It feels like it's taking away time from other stories that I care more about.

Hahaha ... I just couldn't get into it. I think I was so heartbroken about the Red Viper's death that I just thought, "I'm done."

It's odd how Jon's character has changed. I used to LOVE his character ... but ever since he sent Sam off ... I don't know. He's colder and distant. I'm just not so interested in his story. I like Brienne much more in the books than in the television show. And Jamie? Jamie is awesome! I felt for him ...…

They're my least favorite. Followed by the sand snakes. Yeah ... I get it ... they're bad ass women. Whatever ...

Well, I agree about Asha. I enjoyed the story of the love interest who was infatuated with her since they were young and wanted her to be a traditional wife ... when she just wanted to kick ass. Stories about Theon were alright. The whole kingsmoot and the two uncles ... that stuff just about killed me. It went…

Mine is the Iron Islands chapters. All that Drowned God shit just about killed me. The chapters with the Kingsmoot? It was EVERYTHING I could do not to skip those ...

Way back in the day ... 25 years ago ... my best friend joined the Navy. Shortly after boot camp, he called me and made me an offer. If he was married he could live off base and earn more. He tried to sell me on the idea of getting married ... after all, we were friends ... and I'd get to live in exotic locations…

A friend of mine talked me into going into one of those "group hypnosis" sessions ... hypnotherapy for losing weight. The basis of it was basically ... you like french fries? Now imagine this nasty chicken fat every time to see french fries. I will ADMIT that the first time I saw french fries after the treatment,…

I'd agree with you on most cases ... unless you have a work-issued cell phone ... in which case it would come pre-installed. But hey ... if you're getting a free phone? Maybe pick up when the boss calls ...

It strikes me that Beiber's trajectory is similar to Leif Garrett? The only reason I say that is there was a Behind the Music kind of show where they interviewed Garrett AND the best friend he paralyzed in a car accident five days before his 18th birthday. Garrett DID apologize ... but I got more of a "poor me this…

There are some GOOD souls out there. Our friend had every reason to be bitter ... he went to the doctor only because he thought he might have carpal tunnel due to his hand "going numb" only to find out he had ALS and was going to die in under two years. His two sons were young ... he and his wife were in their…
