I say, what about Fred Ward, who would have been 42 at the time he and a 14 year-old Haim starred in “Secret Admirer”? In the first episode of the second season of The Two Coreys, Haim confronted Feldman, saying he had been sexually abused at the age of 14 by one of Feldman’s acquaintances. Declining to identify his…

California has become the latest battleground in a nationwide push to relax or eliminate the statutes of limitations on sexual-assault crimes, recently passing a bill that would make it the 17th state to allow rape victims to pursue charges at any point after an attack. Gov. Jerry Brown must approve or veto the…

I did/will do the same! The soundtrack and Jamie Dornan are the only appeal. He was so good in The Fall that I can’t not watch him in whatever shirtless, plotless movie in which he stars.

This breakup (between me and the Obamas, that is) is going to be devastating even though I know it’s coming.

You can bet that the mobile carriers are now getting increased revenue by setting up the payment system for the full price of the phone rather signing up for a two-year contract for a discount. I guess people bitched about being under contract for two years because they want a new phone every year? Basically, it’s…

I’m struggling with this right now. I’ve lived alone for 13+/- years and want to cohabitate with my SO but I live in the Bay Area and I know that if I can’t handle it I won’t be able to afford to move out on my own again. (I’m fortunate that my current rent is well below market value.) I definitely don’t want…

OHMYGOD, I never eat the food others bring to a potluck unless I’ve been to their house. I mean, what if one person has a gazillion cats and lives like they should be on an episode of Hoarders? I realize they can make the same judgement of me and that is fine. I usually bring a sealed, just picked up at the store,…

I was raised in a barn (yes, literally) and I always feel guilty eating animals that didn’t have a proper name. All of the chickens, goats, cattle, pigs, rabbits, that we butchered and froze over the years all had names. We knew what they were fed, and how they were cared for. Plus they did all taste better!

Mechanic Father of mine stressed using the parking break every dang time and especially if the engine is running. I’ve always driven a manual transmission and he said that even if you put it in gear and turn the engine off they can sometimes “disengage” and roll. He also said (on older vehicles, dunno about new cars’…

Jesus, that’s bleak... and spot on. *sigh*

I empathize with your plight. I struggled with the “higher power” concept too. I finally just focused on something tangible, like a tree or rock, as my outside source. For whatever reason that allowed me to move on with that particular phrasing dilemma and I was able to focus on the true problem at hand. Keep doing…

Try NA. They don’t care what your addiction is to and they’re less caring about who your higher power is as long as it is something outside yourself.

Never blacked out or said or did hurtful things while high... The worst experience I’ve had from too much marijuana is having ‘just one more’ slice of pizza.

A task force on sexual assault at Stanford was started in 2014. Beginning on page 5 of the report the details about prevention are outlined (secondary to reporting, of course.) Since I’m not a student, I can only wonder if Brock attended new student orientation, ongoing/annual education, or any of the other programs…

Signed! And I vote in this county!

Sounds eerily similar to my small town high school (40 kids in my senior class.) We only had the ONE basketball coach/government teacher. He’d hand out a study guide on Monday and a quiz (verbatim to the study guide) on Friday. We *might* have learned how government works, but nothing about politics. Luckily I grew up…

It’s not often I recall titles and authors of the many books I read. But Geek Love is one that I can actually remember the moment I picked it (or it picked me?) off of the shelf.

Many styles here that I love. Her bags are designed in SF and last for years. I have several. And this one is deeply discounted and comes in red too! http://www.rissetto.com/shape/tote/

I didn’t even bother pressing play on the trailer (shared here or by my FB mum friends). I feel I know the trope without having to watch. The only “bad” movie I enjoyed was Bad Teacher, because... Cameron Diaz!
