Exactly. And we really don't know how much this girl is doing of her own free will.

It's a crappy situation. Letting her die is not the answer, though. She will die without chemo, and the fact her mom is "she's fine, she's not going to die" completely undermines the "I just wanted a second opinion!" part.

I heard an interview with her mother this morning and she said, "This isn't about death, she's not going to die without the chemo." So, uh, yeah, I don't trust the mother's sanity.

BUT IT PIIIIIINCHES. OMG. YOU DON'T GET IT. IT PINCHES! IT PINCHES MY PEENER AND THAT HURTS!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Long Ride. I hope you're doing ok. Turning 30 isn't the milestone everyone makes it out to be. In fact, you're only a day older than your 29 year old self. I turned 30 in an airport after a huge delay meant I had to stay overnight in Le Shit Motel with 2 cats and screaming 5 year old. We had to board…

Childhood is insisting you are too grown up for a nap. Adulthood is wishing desperately that you could squeeze in a nap.

I'm the third act of every movie you've ever seen

I really like this one. I made my Game of Thrones Crown of Love and Beauty cake using this as the base. http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2007/09/l…

Will. Do.

I wished my husband liked lemon things as much as I do...so I could make stuff like this more often. Fortunately, my three very best girlfriends and I all share a passion for things that are lemon and/or key lime flavored.

I think a 30 year old getting an allowance from their parents takes them pretty much out of my "sexy" column.

My mom is about her age and says the same shit. I think there's a kind of cool girl syndrome with middle aged conservative women that's pretty hard to shake. It seems to be a combination of growing up believing that men can't control themselves when they're horny, so it's women's responsibility to not be all slutty…

Did Princeton Mom's kid rape somebody? I mean, seriously, is that why she's so desperately trying to downgrade rape to a playground bullying incident?

I tell him that and he laughs it off, then proceeds to do it again and hour later. I blame myself and every other woman who has ever loved him—we've somehow created this person who thinks that everything that he says is interesting all of the time, even when it is completely antithetical to the listener's interests.

Go ahead and let your eyes glaze over, they do when we talk to them about rape culture for more than thirty seconds.

Dearest Russell,

The Conservative media will never be happy. Obama could give everyone in America a puppy and they'd say it was an act of aggression because some people are allergic.

It's really difficult not to hate this woman. I grew up in this kind of smug, judgmental, repressed religious environment. People thought they were so nice and generous when they condescended to hate the sin, etc., but the stifling of individuality, of independence, of sexuality of any kind was just so fucking stupid.…

I honestly just feel sorry for this woman, because she's lost something beautiful, but she's too limited to ever really know it.
