After I had my hip replaced, I developed an issue with one of my tendons where it would snap onto the wrong side of my hip, knocking me off my feet and causing an IMMENSE amount of pain. It would happen without warning and I could go weeks between incidences. I had a steroid injection into the tendon and it seemed to…

Maybe I’m super tired, but on first glance I saw a bunch of Kylo Rens.

I feel obliged to add Michael Patrick Thornton (Private Practice) to your list. His personal story is quite interesting too- http://www.dailyherald.com/article/201603…

Courtney Stodden has somehow reached the uncanny valley, but from the opposite side. :(

Flip phones were entirely too easy to throw once you completed the angry hang up though. For me anyways... It just seemed like the logical extension of the motion. My anger issues usually resulted in broken phones. But it felt damn good!

I most definitely feel you. Mine is a slow creep until the time changes, and then all hope is lost. I’ve found over the years that no one thing is my cure-all- it’s a balance of meds + light therapy + exercise (that part being the hardest). Plus not wanting to kick people who talk about the “winter blues”. And I try…

I have such a conflict, because I love so much of fall- pretty colors, and pumpkins, and a reason to wear scarves and sweaters again - but the SAD creep is god awful.

Yes, thank you for asking! It was a hip replacement and I’m feeling mostly normal again. And back to sadly boring food.

I wasn’t trying to gain weight, but while experiencing severe anxiety leading up to a surgery this past spring, I put on 25 lbs in like a month with the EXACT diet you described. It was kind of amazing, though expensive. So much wine and pasta, and really good Mexican, and like 3 separate sushi binges. I kinda miss it.

The more offbeat eyeliners are often applied so it’s not the first thing you notice. I wear green eyeliner occasionally and my co-workers are convinced my eyes just look greener some days or that I’m wearing browner eyeshadow (not sure how that last one works).

Wait, wait, hold up- this series is SUPPOSED to be all about ugly stuff? I keep visiting these posts and thinking I’m now old and deeply uncool. I’m just... whoa.

Separate but (not really) equal! Sadly, this will be lost on the coontown Redditors.

Both of those cases really haunt me. I don’t live far from where the Grimes sisters were found, and hate driving down German Church Rd- not because of the “spooky” factor, just the violence and how badly the case was handled. Then the Bradley sisters case was so odd- their mother initially being uncooperative, and the…

I am very guilty of the behavior described in the first letter, but with one friend in particular. If I don’t have an “out”planned, our conversation will last all damn night. And conversation is generous, it’s more me saying “uh huh” ad nauseum while she talks. I love her dearly. Talking to her on the phone is…

Just gotta throw my two cents in about the Coola sunscreen- I LOVE the stuff, and this one in particular. It doesn’t rate on the top EWG selections because it’s scented, but i’ve worn this formula everyday for the past two months and have zero complaints. I am pale as pale can be and will burn after 10-15 unprotected…

I was in a straight wedding with a rainbow palette, albeit slightly more muted colors. It also happened that gay marriage was passed in our state only a few weeks prior to the ceremony. When another bridesmaid and I pointed out the scheme could be misinterpreted, if you will, from afar, the bride was livid. From then…

But the terrace in the WBEZ office is so wonderful!

The whole thing is so heartbreaking. It really struck me that he didn’t plead out because he wanted a clean record but his life was irreparably damaged in a different way.

You’re correct, it was the New Yorker. I had just read it last week: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/…

I find this clip to be really endearing, though I realize that’s the magic of reality TV at work. I also see some of Janice Dickinson in Caitlyn’s facial expressions and think a Janice/Caitlyn MAC campaign would be the tops.
