"I don't want to get into a discussion of Palin."

You weren't defending "slow people" (by the way, not the most sensitive term for those with mental disabilities). You repeatedly, seemingly purposefully, have misunderstood what this whole story is about all through the comments. And when someone tried to explain it to you, you would jump down their throats and say…

How do you have a star? Obvious troll is obvious.

Are you high? The whole article is about how a lot of people think Trig is *not* Sarah's child, and attempts to provide lots of evidence to make that case.

You can absolutely call 911 for a mental health emergency. When I was an EMT we routinely responded to people in crisis, and were happy to be able to help them. We took them to the hospital where they at least got some short-term treatment and help. Would a call to a licensed counselor be better? Quite possibly, but…

Ha, that's hilarious. It reminds me of when I worked at Cook County Hospital in Chicago in the early '00s before it was moved to a new building. Elevators each had an employee to press the floor button for people all day every day. There was nothing special about the elevators that made them difficult to operate, it…

Well played, indeed.

Well aren't you quite the animal lover!

Ah, got it, wasn't clear. How about the time when I started to ask my mom how she got this big bruise on her upper thigh (she was wearing shorts that slipped up), when in a dawning moment of horror I realized it was a sort of combination bite mark/hicky. I stopped mid-sentence, and she just cracked up at how…

You're pissed that your parents after decades still have a healthy and enjoyable sex life? How inconsiderate of them!

I posted upthread that I grew up in the same (very small) town as LT—assuming it's the same wife he had at the time, there were plenty of police visits to their house, and the assumption was that it was for DV. IT might be unfair to speculate, but I would not be at all shocked to find that his wife is a victim of…

Ugh, I grew up in the same town as LT and would see him around sometimes. Let's just say it was an open secret that police were frequent visitors to his house, the assumption being it was for domestic violence calls. After seeing how big he was in real life, the thought of that was just terrifying.

Glad I read down—was about the say the same thing upthread!

Great to have reply notifications back, but they don't "Clear" after you click on them to read them very consistently. Just this morning, I came back to 11 new notifications, but they are in fact all old ones that I'd already read over the past few days and had originally cleared, only to return all at once this…

Great grandparents!

I think I had the same jeans! Mine were from Gap, I believe. I also had a (cringe) dark red/almost maroon pair that I lurved. I too wore my green jeans with a body suit, cardigan or flannel shirt (I was very self-conscious of my large boobs), and faux Doc Maartens (my parents refused to spend that much money on what…

The last few days I've been having comments fail when I submit them. I'll refresh before trying again to make sure they haven't shown up before trying again, and it won't be there. I'll try again, that comment will work, and then 5 minutes later both (or embarrassingly three, depending on how many times I've tried)…

@I_am_a_genius_I_mean_this: Cleaners? Ha!

@ZoraJD: This is really interesting and something I was unaware of. Can I ask, those who don't shave their legs, do they also leave their armpit and pubic hair untouched as well, or are those shaved, or does it just depend on the person?

@obsidian05: Very well said, thanks for bringing some reason into the discussion.
