This is about to unleash Kenny Powers-style chaos.

it’s good you’re here to help clarify and explain her relationship of nearly 30 years to her.

Maybe some folks don’t understand some other folks? I expect Deb was actually trying to convey through humor, that she was uncomfortable being a “hug type” rather than the actual hug. 

Or...ya know...don’t buy them a smart phone?

These are people who lost a child two years ago. Foul play was not suspected.. He is dead, they are grieving and merely seeking closure. Can you really not understand? People mke dfferent choices ran you would, frequently. Do your best from now forward not to question how others choose to manage their grief.

If the next one isn’t called “Fast 10 Your Seatbelts”, then there is no justice. 

Wow, you are a nasty piece of work. To read all of this material and just dismiss it in favor of judging others and stating how superior you are. Truly incredible.

Exactly. I’m many years removed from having kids this small, but I wasn’t when that WaPo article came out, and it was heartbreaking not because I couldn’t imagine it happening to me, but because I absolutely could see just how it might.

Right, but the whole point of the article is that they did not leave their children to die in a hot car because they were “busy at work.” I’m surprised that’s all you got out of Gene Weingarten’s work on this subject.

Only the most hubristic of people think this couldn’t happen to them. I am generally against charging these cases unless you can prove the child was forgotten on purpose. These parents suffer so greatly after. It’s harrowing.

Faked suicide attempt to try to get house arrest. If it had been a hit attempt, he’d already be dead.

My first thought was that it was orchestrated as a ploy to get him a nicer stay - “Your honor, this man isn’t safe in jail... I recommend house arrest...”

For real.

And yet, when Michael Weatherly was accused of harassment, she backed him. I don’t get it.

Well, after the update, the question now is, “When did they ever hear him say that?”

You’d have killed her pops.

I don’t know what I’m going to do when 30 Rock leaves Netflix. I’m genuinely distraught.

I haven’t seen it because of a lack of cable, but I’m happy that it sounds good! That’s nice. What an interesting way that our country has turned to coping with the insanity of America at the moment—nostalgic television. Warm, fuzzy TV. I’m into it. Gotta fucking tune out the horrible news sometimes and pretend we…

This whole topic makes me feel weird and uncomfortable, but I do know that an average bottlenose dolphin weighs about 200 kg, and last year I read that scientists have discovered that a dolphin is about 10 times stronger than the fittest human. I don't know about this whole dolphin sexy-time thing. But they are…

Actually, dolphins are the only other mammals (besides primates) that have sex for pleasure, so it's possible she didn't just "tolerate" it because she was "in heat."
