I believe the Goldman family sued to get the earnings from the "If I Did It" book that he wrote, since they won a wrongful death suit against him, and he filed bankruptcy or something so he never had to give them any money.

Elizabeth Wurtzel was on NPR this morning, and she said that she had a contract for a new book, but then her editor left the publishing company, and no one ever followed up with her about the contract.

As someone in the publishing industry, I would advise saving your money, unless you have unlimited wealth and grad school tuition doesn't mean much to you.

Someone put ecstasy in my econ teacher's coffee, but not in my class. He had always just had a mug of coffee on his desk before, but after that happened he kept his coffee in a thermos on the filing cabinet behind his desk. Pretty sad, because he was a cool teacher, close to retirement.

I got a pistachio one from my mom, and at first I was not crazy about the color, but now I love it!! It goes perfectly with the super-retro 1970s kitchen in my house. (It's a rental.)

I think a big difference between the two, is that while L. Ron Hubbard just straight up wrote his own book, Joseph Smith claims to have been revealed ancient scripture to translate, by a divine being.

I was also raised in the church, and was active for a few of my adult years, and while everything you have said is true, I think it's important to note that while women hold leadership positions, they can never hold any position of high leadership over the church as a whole. They can preside over the women and…

My dad just called to let me know that my cat, Gus, has gone off to kitty heaven. He's been living with my parents since I moved from NYC and didn't have a place that allowed pets. My other cat, Monster, went off to kitty heaven about 2 years ago, so hopefully they are reunited and once again enjoying spooning with…

I would recommend checking the online classified listings of any local papers/news stations. I know my local (SLC Utah) news station has a great classified section that is actually more helpful than Craigslist.

ME TOO!!!! I rented a movie from iTunes about 4 hours ago, and IT'S STILL DOWNLOADING!!!!

This brought tears to my eyes. I'm so sorry she's gone, but hopeful for the new pup that you will be bring to you life.

Nice! My home is unfortunately filled with spiders, as most of our living areas are in the basement. I hate spiders, but I've become pretty adept at just killing the sons of bitches as soon as I see them. Today though, I saw the biggest mother fucker yet. My dude is away for the weekend, and I actually considered…

I believe in Bette Midler's version of Gypsy, she also sang her songs live, and it was glorious, but she's Bette Midler, so she can pretty much do anything. I'm excited for Les Mis though, I have high hopes!

I was raised very conservative Christian and have a lot of friends who all got married very young. About half of them are divorced now. I also had a Sunday School teacher tell me when I was in high school that religious people get married so young because they are horny, and advised me to not fall into that trap of…

Ugh and you know that kid isn't acting either, he probably really is that annoying in real life.

Oh my gosh, what a horror story!! I'm so sorry you had such a difficult experience! I'm glad IUDs are more common now, because I've been able to find a lot more first-experiences to read about, and have an array of ideas about what to expect, and what questions to ask my doctor.

I am definitely going to look into that one, it looks like a great option. Thanks!

Thanks! All the positive experiences I've read about seem to outweigh the negatives, so I think it will be worth it.
