I work with a woman who got on FB and ranted about everyone who was criticizing Joel Osteen ... insisting the church WAS flooded and everyone should stop spreading fake news. The blowback was stunning. SO many of her friends blew up at her ... posting story after video after picture ... all proving the church was dry…

Holy cow ... we have the same friends. One of the guys I graduated with had a year long train wreck broadcast to the world on FB. Each day, I woke up to see which side of the coin we were on. “She is a psychotic bitch who is off her meds.” “I love you honey bunch!” “She just broke into my garage, kicked over my…

Your class sounds fun!

Okay so ... first things first. I realize we all read articles and then suddenly we are projecting our experiences onto other people’s lives. I know that ... I get that ... and yet I *have* to comment on this article.

I guess I just don’t see how that’s a problem. Does someone HAVE to have their dogs with them? If the quarantine in Australia is an issue for a person and/or their pets, then they shouldn’t travel with them. The average tourist doesn’t have a 30 day vacation away from work anyway (at least if they’re from the states)…

Okay, now I’ll give you that one ... I loved his reading of the book ... EXCEPT the word poseur. LOL

I agree. Is it going to be covered in a literature class? No. But I thought it was a fun, light read. It was SUPPOSED to be a list of everything 80's. If you don’t like that going in, you aren’t going to enjoy the book. As an 80's baby myself? Heaven is a place on Earth!

I came here to say this very thing. I read the book ... then got the audio book read by Wil Wheaton. I love his interpretation ... for instance, the text quoted above “Japan? Did I study JAPAN?” It’s silly, don’t get me wrong. But it’s a fun time waster.

It’s not that I think Jon overreacted to LF. It’s that the scene was written HORRIBLY. When Jon threw him up against a wall and started choking LF, why oh WHY didn’t he say, “LOVE her? Is that why you sold her to RAMSEY? My sister was abused because of YOU. I don’t care if you love her ... you don’t have the RIGHT to…

You’re 100% right ... I do recognize that it’s cowardly of me to see the situation and not try to do something to help. I need to reach out to her, offer to take her to dinner, and try to just talk this out. She’s so proud (not around her children, I’m sure ... but I’m talking about our relationship) to talk about her…

Yes, you’re right. I’m not living in the house or inside her head ... so I don’t know her motivations or what’s going on in her heart. I will say that I suspect part of her response stems from embarrassment. She sends all her children to the same private Catholic school that we both attended. One of her posts said…

See, that’s what I would’ve expected from her. In an alternate universe, if someone said, “This is going to happen ... how will your friend react?” I would’ve said that NO ONE would be more supportive. Hell, I imagined her painting her house like a rainbow flag! She was just as open minded and adventurous as me. In…

This times 1,000. The daily conversation is getting more and more childish. Trump regularly calls people “losers” ... and we need to rise about this bullshit and find common ground. I’m a democrat ... so my example was the words of a Republican ... but I’m VERY aware both sides are guilty. We can be better than this…

I came here to say the same thing. Listen, I can’t stand Trump as much as the next person. Considering I’m on dialysis my heart breaks with the health care debates and all the “unhealthy people did this to themselves” talk that’s going on with the Republicans ... even with all that, I’m not okay with joking about…

I’m friends with a woman that I’ve known since high school. We’ve grown apart but, through the wonder of Facebook, I still every aspect of her life these days. I was shocked when her daughter came out as transgender and told the world that she would now be known as a boy. I wasn’t shocked at his announcement ... I was…

I feel you. Not to be TMI over here ... but the sex was good ... and he was perfectly functional. It’s not like he was saying, “If they hadn’t cut me, I wouldn’t be having these issues.” There were no issues. But again ... not my body ... not my penis.

As someone with an inherited kidney disease ... as someone who goes to dialysis three times a week AND works full time ... as someone who leaves my house at 7:00 in the morning and doesn’t get home until nine o’clock some nights just because the treatment to save my life runs long ... fuck you.

I didn’t ask for this. I…

They exist. I could you introduce you to my ex-boyfriend. He got laid ... A LOT ... and still complained loudly and frequently about his circumcision. It didn’t seem like a problem to me at the time ... but I was young. I did tell him once that, although I thought his penis was fine the way it was, I understood that I…

That’s so weird you should say that. My mom was due mid-October and I wasn’t born until November 11th. I just wasn’t coming out. They finally scheduled a c-section and took me ... but I wonder just how long they planned and letting me cook in there. I’ve heard the story so many times ... and she asked the doctor…

My fiance was born on December 28th ... which is exactly halfway between Christmas and New Years. I can’t IMAGINE how much this has sucked for him over the years because I know how much it sucks NOW. You can’t schedule a party for either weekend ... because people are either celebrating Christmas or New Years. His…
