I know that Gigandet sounds like an asshole here, and it was so long ago he probably should've kept it to himself. But I do kind of empathize when he talks about the actors not even caring enough to know their lines. There's one show I was an extra on about a year ago, the actors were so difficult it was unreal. The…

I always wonder how much truth there is to that kind of thing. I know a lot of people who will use their SO as an excuse when they're trying to avoid someone they don't really want to hang out with anymore, or some function they don't want to go to.

I know vegans who won't eat yeast...which is a less complex organism than a plant is. I know people who claim to be vegan, but eat fish. I think a lifestyle like veganism attracts a lot of weirdos who just like attention.

Thank you for saying this. Even in LA, I hear a lot of homophobic language from young people. Mostly on the bus and train, sometimes younger co-workers. Some of them even hate on Pride. (I've asked..."It's a big party, what can you possibly have against a big party?" But they are not feeling it.)

I am watching Midsomer Murders and knitting. I took one of those "What's your REAL age?" quizzes online the other day, and got a result 30 years higher than my actual age.

Oh dear. How awful. I hope that no one intentionally harmed that poor kid.

Love me some Stanwyck.

Obviously I don't know him, but sometimes this is a sign someone grew up in a dysfunctional household. I know that's on the questionnaire for adult children of alcoholics (telling lies about small stuff that doesn't matter). I grew up in a home where my parents were like, "NO ONE CAN EVER KNOW THAT MOM & BRO & GRANDMA…

I think you dodged a bullet. You said he needs a lot of validation, maybe he just wanted someone who had an easy to parse worldview he could glomp onto.

If the insurance will cover it, get a list from them of therapists in your area who take their insurance. If not, google "Sliding Scale Therapy" with your city name or zip code. Finding a good fit for therapy isn't always easy, though. If the first person you talk to doesn't click for you, try someone else.

I think it might be pregnancy & toddler. Also, being a SAHM can be kind of draining when kids are young (I don't have kids, but have seen this with my aunts and cousins). Are there other adults you hang out with regularly? I think sometimes the working spouse can become like the link to the outside world for the…

I think I get what they were going for but this is the clumsiest possible World Cup tie-in. They should've referenced traditional national costume, or the colors of flags (matching the jerseys?) or something. This calls for a facepalm, I can't believe someone okayed it.

I like that Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield do the sign thing. Most celebrities are come across like, "The paparazzi photographing me is the greatest tragedy ever!" I like that these two have more self-awareness than that when expressing their annoyance.

It is so strange to see the way people treat celebrities. Fame kind of blocks the sensible part of people's brains or something. I used to work at a Guitar Center and sometimes we would get bands in there. A woman I worked with there had just gotten engaged, and I STILL saw her give her phone number to some lead…

Thanks!

Some doctor's offices open early, but not all of them. Also, sometimes they get behind because appointments go longer than expected (if they discover a serious issue with a patient that requires discussion). So you're better off taking a half day off or whatever. Most specialists I've had to see (rheumatologist, for…

Oh, eww.

I'm a little depressed. I have been eating almost all day long, although I did clean and go for a walk earlier. Just...feeling blah. Tried watching the Ricky Gervais Show to cheer up and that just made it worse, because I felt like they were beating up on Karl, who I identify with because he seems like he might be…

Just wanted to say Alateen is also there. It's like Al-Anon for youngsters.

Well, if you had stayed it could be setting you back by making you depressed or whatever. I think it's good that you follow your conscience, a lot of people don't even seem to have one. It sounds like you're still working, not that you walked out of your only job in a heated moment. So I don't think you're being…
