I remember when River Phoenix died, vividly. I was like 13 and completely devastated. Still bums me out.

That is weird. My son is 9 and no one comments on that. I guess they don't need to after they have already commented on the 20 year old though. I think lots of people have kids in their mid-20's.

I am 36 and have a 20 year old daughter (we currently go to the same college) When people find out I always get the 'You look too young..." I often am told I look younger than 36 so that may add to it. I always find myself explaining I adopted her, that she was my ex-husband's child from his first marriage. Then I am…

I wish you luck. I moved about a year and half ago, and can't seem to make friends. I am in school, but the people are all way younger than me. The town we are in is small and the mom's seem to be in pretty established cliques. I don't work so no luck there. Not to mention, I just feel like this is not my kinda place.…

I had gastric bypass surgery about six years ago, and ended up pregnant six months post op. I also know another woman who conceived about 7 years after her surgery. Both of us were lucky enough to have normal healthy pregnancies. It was my second pregnancy and she ended up weighing more than the first even though I…

I think I saw that in a women's prison movie once. I think Linda Blair was in it. I think my parents shouldn't have had cinemax when I was a kid.....

I wish I knew. I moved last year and I am going to school but I haven't made friends there because I go to regular day classes and am 36 so I go with people way younger than me. The other moms I have met at my kids school stuff seem cliqueish and I don't fit well. It is a small town outside of Springfield, MO and even…

Sweet baby Morni! A woman just posted a picture (99% sure it is fake) of a 22 week old aborted fetus on the thread I was talking about earlier. I just had a rage stroke. I am so thoroughly disgusted. I just cannot even take in the absurdity of some people.

Exactly. I do not understand how they can say it is God's plan that the baby live when she is dead. How does that make sense? Of course I feel that way about most of what they say. Like how most tend to forget the whole cast the first stone thing when it comes to judging others.

I have developed a bad habit on commenting on the local news threads on facebook and now I fear I will be recognized and egged or something. These people are hardcore married to their ignorance, and intolerance.

I try to get that not everyone thinks like me, but to be so willfully obtuse, close-minded, and ignorant makes me want to say screw this tolerance thing I try for and fuck them. Sadly, I apparently live just outside the 4th most bible minded city in country which means I am surrounded by these douche canoes

Reading comments on my local news site about this sickens me. This poor man was has lost his wife and the possibility of the child they had hoped to have together and because the wrong thing was done and she was kept on a ventilator he is being called a baby murderer and people are even questioning if he had something…

I think it came up when she was at the boarding school and Fiona was asking about it, then called Papa Legba but couldn't get a deal because she has no soul (which was not explained). But that was the only mention I recall.

Marie tricked her into drinking a vial of her tears which for some reason made LaLaurie immortal. Oddly, one of the very few things that was briefly explained.

And I may be different, but I found it only was an appetite suppressant for so long. After being on it awhile my appetite is not really affected anymore.

I totally want to read this and get in on the discussion. I just have to wait for my adderall to kick in. Seriously, I was in my 30's when I went in for testing. My wonderful therapist suggested it when I described my issues in school and it has helped tremendously. I had gone a long period without it due to being…

Sweet Jeebus I hope not. Fish skeeve me out. It would be a trend nightmare for all my fellow fish phobs.

I started back to college in my 30's with the end plan being law school. I realized it would be hard since I was older and had kids, but it was all I wanted. Now I graduate with my bachelors in May and I am going to grad school (hopefully, I will only go if I get the assistanceship) because I see no point in going to…

Fall of Giants by Ken Follett had several European characters. Mostly based in England. There was some parts set in Germany, Russia, and America. It is fiction but I found some of the ideas in it interesting. That was WW1 but it is the first of a trilogy so I imagine the second book Winter of the World would be about…

I also think there it is not easy for non-established commenters to have their comments seen so new and fresh comments are often stuck in the gray.
