Exactly. I wouldn't dare pass judgement on a person based on the small amount of available information we have. There's always a chance that she feared retribution for taking the child to a hospital.

I've been reading comments and getting so upset at the judgement without understanding all the factors, and then you show up. Thank you. I stayed with my husband through so much shit. I felt isolated, we moved to Louisiana and my closest family was 9 hours away. I didn't work because day care is fucking expensive and…

I've never posted here before but always lurked. As a survivor of domestic violence, the responses here really sadden me.

Yes - I mean, I don't know the situation, but it's highly unlikely he wasn't abusing her - at least emotionally. Manipulating her...abuse makes your reality disappear. Her sense of logic and her instincts would be all twisted; she'd do things that don't make sense out of desperation (not taking the baby to the…

There is so much victim blaming going on here. Sure, perhaps the mother is also a monster, or, more likely, she is a also a victim of this terrible man's abuse.

This woman might be a monster, but this could also easily be another case where the…

I really didn't mean to say nut the colts, but that's actually, apparently true. And funnier.

here's what I don't understand... Weren't both teams using the same balls? How does this benefit the Pats and nut the Colts?

I don't know what to say that I needed no explanation to identify "Zaldammo" as I like to call him. I read the shit out of These Happy Golden years, semi-pervishly imagining what happens after she tours her new home, built for her by hunka hunka.

I left Newman off because he was an automatic choice based on the Esquire cover. And because literally every woman would choose him.

Sessue Hayakawa, silent film actor. Purrrr

Rudolph Valentino was gorgeous

So....you guys have seen Almanzo Wilder, right? Little House on the GET IT, MS. INGALLS.

How about Montgomery Clift?

Everybody* needs to get with a Steff. Just once. Trust me. No ragrets.

I don't even dig dudes, but no one picked this guy?

I still want to cry if I think about it. Love, love, loved him.

Paul Newman.
