I think so. I also give him credit for talking his way out of a situation that he recognized as being dangerous.

Isn’t this more of a figure of speech than actual murder talk?

It takes a lot of analytical thinking and imagination to be able to conceive of a plan involving hit men and actually follow up with it, skills that she could have used in a myriad of ways that did not include KILLING her parents. In no culture or situation is murder somehow more acceptable than being exiled or…

I have no idea how to be independent but I know how to hire a hit man!

THIS. A thousand times this. I really don’t think that there is ANY culture in the world where killing your parents is somehow better than running off or becoming a disgrace. In fact, murder is pretty universally frowned upon unless it is to appease the Gods or the murderee is your tribal enemy. Come on people!

I feel like killing them is also cutting ties with them, but maybe there is a cultural nuance there that I do not understand.

I don’t think that word means what he think it means.

why didn’t she just run away?

I would try cetaphil. Something for oily or mixed skin types. And something that has spf in it already. Having some spf will protect you some but yeah if you are in the sun a lot I would buy a stronger sunscreen and apply it regularly (find a mineral one at the health food store).

Can you be my finacial spirit guide?

You go you!

You poor thing. Half these stories are “the worst thing I ever saw on a plane was myself drunk.”

this one wins!

Recently, I was flying back home to take care of my sister after she had been in a pretty bad accident. I chatted briefly with the woman next to me, exchanging stories and small talk and told her as much. Cut to the flight where there is some of the worst turbulence I have ever been in. So bad people are filming it…

In the end, he did, and the story she wrote was a marvel of empathy and disclosure.

It’s a perfect parody of an interview with an American artist.

Though I read it having no idea what Gnip Gnop is and was truly pleased.

Am I mistaken or does she seriously have her kitchen/dining room right next to her ring? Hope everyone likes the taste of horse poop and dust in their food!

This makes me proud to be from West Virginia.
