I am very sorry for you and your family. Wish there was something that could help, but you just have to go through it, and try to take care of yourself.

I wonder if she knew about the plea deal coming up and if it was a factor in her attempt. I assume the family was told about the deal before the public, but who knows at this point. Nothing has happened as it should have.

I found this about Missouri, but it says as of 2014.

I looked this up and in Missouri the age of consent is 14 if the other party is under 18, so I guess legally speaking it wouldn't be considered statutory rape at the time because I believe he was 17. Not at all defending him, or saying she wasn't raped.

That blows. I am sorry you had that happen.

I have gotten some good ideas on pinterest. I have to cook kid friendly but we all liked chicken pot pie soup. Think that one is from food network.

Whatever makes your days easier. Break ups suck, you aren't hurting yourself or others with a profile. Sometimes we need the ego boost casual dating can be, and it can be a good distraction.

I appreciate the validation. It was a dick move.

Plus, it helps to realize they may have the same fear. After all they have picked pictures that are flattering and likely don't look like that all the time.

Thanks. I know I wrote the post, how I interpreted the situation and maybe he saw it differently. I was hesitant to bring it up because I know I am crabby right now. I am waiting for a doctor's appointment next week to get a cortisone injection in my hip and the fact that it has been hurting for two weeks is wearing…

Me too, and now I have a ton of clothes that don't fit and two pairs of jeans that are uncomfortable. I am not buying bigger sizes! Well not until I done with school and get a real job but by then maybe I will have gotten my act together and lost the like 20 pounds I need to.

Oh, yeah it was a long time ago. She moved because of the smell and he clomped around in high heels all the time. She wasn't offended by his choice but by his lack of grace.

My sister lived in a two family flat when she was first pregnant and her neighbor stored stuff in mothballs in the basement so the smell would come up through the vents. She had bad nausea, and had to leave open jars of noxema around the house to smell to cover the mothballs. Why, noxema? The world may never know.

So, today I sent my son in to ask my husband if he wanted some lunch. He said sure. I then went to ask what he wanted. He was pretty snarky and said, "If I don't know what we have how can I know what I want." Sorry. I guess I forgot to give him time to read the menu. Then after I made lunch, that I didn't even want or…

I had one of those guys. In the end I felt like he continued to talk to me because he liked how much I liked him. I was a push-up bra for his ego.

Every time I hear The Blaze I think of the Billy Crystal scene from Princess Bride, when he says, "To blave, which means to bluff" So in my head his site is The Blave

I was reading the horrid comments on the local news station's facebook for this story, and one woman commented on her appearance by saying it is sad because she is pretty and could get a man. I had already argued with this idiot in other comments she made. I called her out on several things including her atrocious…

That was on cable the other night, and I mentioned it at my mom's on Christmas eve. Turns out a large percentage of us saw it on the tv guide and watched a few minutes of it. I guess we are more alike than we think.

I just hate the whole idea of an A minus because it hurts your gpa and an A plus doesn't help it. Seems to me even on a plus/minus scale an A should be an A and the others can have the plus/minus.

Exactly like that. I mean do they realize they are speaking to other people on a dating site so they should not act as if it is humiliating. Not like it is uncommon to meet people online anymore. It isn't like saying we met in an AOL chatroom for heaven's sake.
