It never ceases to amaze me, the excuses people with addictions will come up with to excuse or justify their behavior. And it's really just sad, for everyone involved. Not to excuse my husband's behavior, but he has ADHD, is on the autism spectrum, and had a lot of learning disabilities growing up. He was raised…

Okay, so my soon-to-be ex-husband used to (well, I guess still does, since it never really goes away) have some major addiction issues. He used a lot of coke and, when I got pregnant with our first child (we'd gotten together while he was in recovery, which in retrospect wasn't the best time to start a relationship),…

This has probably been said already but.... with Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride both being on TTD, I feel like they're pretty much the two safest characters right now. If someone's going to be killed off, it's probably going to be whoever the mystery guest is. I could be wrong (and I hope not, because I love both…

Yes. I threaten to move to Sweden all the time. Or Denmark. ;)

Yeah, I'm a registered member of the NDP party, but I'll be voting ABC this election. Whoever has the better chance of getting a majority government and kicking out the Conservatives will be getting my vote....

Great. Now can they also remove "God" from it? Not that I object to people having faith, but I don't feel comfortable singing my own country's anthem because of it. Being inclusive also includes respecting those without religion/faith.

I do not blame her in the least.

While other people I know run screaming at the sight of a spider or other creepy crawly, I've never really been bothered by insects. I'm not afraid of snakes, either, or most of the other things that people are terrified of (though I'll admit to REALLY not liking rodents- but, really,…

Statutory rape is a tricky thing ins some ways. On the one hand, I do agree that some teenagers look a lot older than they actually are, and I could see how, theoretically, they could lie about their age and have consensual sex with an older person. I'm also uncomfortable with the fact that without so-called "Romeo…

(Also, I might have been exaggerating when I said I had a shit-tonne of gripes about the show. Those are basically my only two gripes. I actually really do like it, I'm just such a fan of the inner senshi that it bums me out not to see more of them.)

Yeah, I think you really can't do right with Moonies, because people are going to be pissed off no matter what. I loved the manga and the anime both, for different (and often conflicting) reasons. I guess, when I first heard about a new anime (before I learned it was going to be closer to the manga), I thought about…

I had no idea who is was until Dracula, honestly- and then had a total 'SHWING!' moment.

A friend of mine pointed out that Luke Evans is gay and, therefore, is unlikely to be interested in anything I have in my pants. Which is fair enough, I guess. That said, I doubt any of my hetero fantasy celebrity boyfriends…

Luke Evans is welcome to have a starring role in my pants any day.

Don't get me wrong- I have a shit-tonne of gripes about the new show. It bugs me that they're basically re-hashing the manga (which is great and all- but I would have loved to have seen new storylines), and that so little time is being spent exploring the other senshi. On the other hand, though, I'm like, "Fuck it,…

What does it say about me that I just want to buy ALL OF IT. Sailor Moon maxi pads, little plastic tea cakes, whatever. Sure, I might wind up alone and surrounded by shelves of cheesy merchandise, but at least I'll die happy-ish.

FFS, yes. I had a friend of the family (who was one of those 'close enough that she should be invited but not so close that she needed to bring anyone') RSVP less than a week before the wedding to let me know that she was coming- with six other people. All her kids (two of them under five) and two of their…

I can't speak for all Muslim women (or, really, any Muslim women, because I'm not Muslim myself), but a co-worker of mine wears all sorts of amazing, bright colors. She has so many colors of hijab, and they always match her outfit and she always looks incredibly gorgeous and put together. She also wears a ton of…

Can people be friends with their exes? Sure. Can I? No. Absolutely not.

Don't get me wrong, I have no issues being friends with people I've dated, people I've casually slept with, people I've been interested in in the past. But if I was ever in love with them, and it ended (regardless of who ended it), I just…

Absolutely stupendously fantastic eyebrows.

I won't lie, I am so out of the loop and have no idea who either Giuliana Rancic or Zendaya Coleman are (don't worry, I intend to Google later, so I don't expect anyone to have to fill me in). That said, I understand the remarks made about Zendaya were because of her dreadlocks, and it sort of baffles me because when…

Nice. I already live in the Rockies. I'm set.

I've already given lots of thought as to why I'm in a pretty good place for if a zombie apocalypse happens. Nestled in the mountains, a small rural farming town with a population of less than 15k (and that's REALLY spread out), and far more guns per capita than you'd…
