@k.trujillo8: Oh god, your heart must have sunk to hear her say that. Thank goodness she is communicating with you on such things, though, because I think that makes all the difference.

@HarpMadness: yeah, kind of hard to cover a story if you don't speak the local language...so I'm pretty sure non-English speakers would not be sent over for it. I'm thinking they probably meant ENGLISH SPEAKING WITH NO FURREIN ACCENT press.

@Spike49: Word. I think abusers are probably really skilled at rationalizing anything...since I imagine that's the only way someone could molest his own daughter in the first place.

@Nadra: Oooh, do tell, what else has he lied, I mean "unreliably narrated" about?

@Bunsen Honeydew: Yeah, but after crying did the abuser go home and after a few days start abusing his daughter again (while maybe feeling a little guilty about it this time), or did he get help?

@Ariadne27: I'm in DC and got mine without any problem whatsoever, and I'm a single lady. I had educated myself before the consult, which I think helped, and the doc just asked if I was planning to try and have kids in the next 3 years.

@DorothyZbornak: I think it's more the unfortunate placement of her hand on her abdomen.

@o-line: Ha! I'd forgotten about checks and check-pluses!

@morninggloria: That really sucks.

@PrincessOfPower: I'm totally cool with naked sexy pics between sig others, but what bothers me is not that she thought it's a normal thing to do, but that she thinks anyone who doesn't is sad.

@shoroko: I read other articles that provide more details on her statement that she dragged him out the back over the three rows of seats.

@Ri_L: Yes, exactly. Case in point—"There was a lot of traffic on my home from work today-LOL". Sorry, but why would that make you laugh?? It didn't, so don't write it. Damn.

@shoroko: An Escalade has huge windows. There is no way and no reason for her to break the back window and then claim that she was able to drag her unconscious husband over three rows of car seats.

@dietgrrl: Very true— a boyfriend's mom lost her favorite cat when his collar caught on a fence he was wriggling under, very sad.

@ablative: Ooh, no way! Must resist urge to spend more money...

@GoldenRatioφ (aka -girl11): Secret Services is housed under the Department of Homeland Security these days. It used to be under Department of Treasury until Homeland Security was created, and there are many who say its quality has declined ever since.

@ablative: My biggest complaint with Wii Fit is that after you finish one exercise, you have to stop and navigate to the next one. I think it would be great to queue up like 10 in a row so that you get a 30-minute workout without a lot of stopping and starting, which certainly does nothing to improve endurance.

@magicwaffle: Oh god, I forgot completely about NARCs! We had a new guy start in high school who was a little odd seeming (read: not preppy like everyone else), so he was labeled a NARC and totally alienated.

@sequined: I think you can pre-emptively block someone even before they are your friend, so that they will never show up as a friend suggestion, and to them it will appear as if you don't exist on FB.

@Meglantine: Such a sweet story!
