No beatnik. Joan Didion was, for most of her life, a self-described "Goldwater Republican."

I have a structured settlement, but I need cash now. Call JG Wentworth 877-Cash-now!

Duh, how else are we supposed to find information about diploma mills and ambulance chasers if we're not watching daytime TV commercials?

Maybe her statement has more to do with the fact that this "legacy" is something that she is still financially tied to? Either way this is sad.

Methinks someone who has been reliant on the money that the Cosby Show, as a classic TV show that is still syndicated, still probably brings in is not happy to see that income slow down.

I had the same reaction. It's incredible what they can do with hair/clothes/makeup on the show (not that she was ever unattractive, but you know what I mean).

I used to be a hostess and the number of people who would spend 10 minutes chewing me out was incredible. Other than busboys I literally had the least amount of power in that whole damn restaurant, but I'm glad you feel important, asshole.

Sadly, these family members are actually the best of them (aside from my kids) - for some reason they were just in an especially mean mood that day. I've just never really been accepted by my family (I've always been too fat/too plain/too geeky/too introverted or just had the wrong job/education) so I'm not sure why I…

Ew, who the fuck tells someone to get plastic surgery? What awful things to say. I'm sorry and I hope you have some cool family members who don't behave like cartoon villains and can commiserate with you.

I'm quitting smoking, for many different reasons, and I feel like my skin is going to peel off. It's one of my only pleasures in this life. Gahhhh...the weekends are gonna be the worst.

Saturday night confession: Ever since I posted the video of the toddler singing Let It Go I have been sitting on my couch scream-singing "LET IT GOOOOOOOOO, LET IT GOOooooOOOOoooOOO!!!!" and the dog left to go sit in a closet and my BF quietly put headphones on and I think is trying to sneak into the closet with the…

Your kids love you and think you are beautiful. And you will likely raise them to be much different than these appearance-obsessed and truly *ugly* family members. And as Dorothy Parker once said, "Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone."

Good evening, folks. Having my own personal pity party today. Still trying to shake off (without much success so far) the hurtful things some close relatives said to me a couple days ago - that I should get plastic surgery to change my face to something less hideous, and that I should get under psychiatric care,…

Humanity who are mean to service people, this is for you:

My god. I think I like the 2014 video. It's the End of the Year and We Love It to REM's End of the World.

I worked at a fairly large cadillac dealership in the service department. The service department consisted of a very long building with service stalls on both sides and the dispatch office (where I worked) was right in the middle. I was one of the very few females employed in this department. It was a fun job but…

This isn't so much a "quitting" as it is a bridge burned. Consider it the best time I quit giving a fuck.

For me, it was three weeks ago when I said fuck it, I need a positive change in my life. My mental health was damaged, and people were dragging me down.

I'm not in NYC, but I've taken cabs where it has become an uncomfortable situation, with prying questions about personal life, relationship status, do I live alone, I smell really good, etc., although I've never been assaulted or kidnapped in a cab. And I've never had a conversation with a male friend who hailed the…

One of my friends was raped in a NYC taxi. He had dropped two of us off and she was the last. Unfortunately none of us got his medallion number or his name off the posted license, so when she went to the police they didn't have much to go on. We could say where we hailed the cab (around Union Square), the time (3:00…
