The headline of this article does not jive with the content, which further reinforces why certain folks should stop throwing around vernacular popularized by black people while not fully grasping what they mean.

Good for Lamar. The pro-active approach shows that he’s taking his recovery pretty seriously. I wish him the best. I’m planning on entering a residential treatment facility for depression after the holidays. I’m terrified but I can’t keep living the way I have been for the past 3 years. The hardest hurdle for me to…

Also - with an acknowledgement that no one gets to demand anything of anyone, especially a stranger - how the HELL you gonna demand a woman shave her legs WHEN SHE’S WEARING PANTS. That is like, 90% of the purpose of pants, to make it so you don’t have to shave your legs! Like, sorry that you couldn’t achieve the…

My husband has been taking a lot of the drama he has with them and their mom out on me, saying I treat the kids poorly and that they don’t want to be at our house (they have never expressed this to me; we seem to get along fine; we are always cordial and they don’t treat me rudely or anything. I work like 14 hours a…

It’s so hard. I am in a pretty dark place right now with the whole thing, so it’s good to hear that someone understands. I’m quite young to have an almost-18, 16, and 14-year-old, and have lived alone my entire adult life, so even though I “knew” what I was getting myself into, you can never really know.

As a step parent to teenagers, I really like your last paragraph. It neatly sums up much of what I feel about step parenting. It’s a fine line to walk.

Okay, I’ve never watched it but regardless of that shouldn’t we conduct ourselves with some fucking tact? Are we rewarding childish and boorish behavior now? Is that what we do? Because if so I am obviously instilling the wrong characteristics into my child and I should tell her to pitch a goddamn fit if something…

It’s crazy, when I saw the preview for La La Land at the movies a few months ago, I honestly thought it was a joke. Like, they stretched a movie commercial long until they got to the end of it. Even at the end, I wasn’t sure what genre it was. I’m still confused. lol

I’m not a country music fan but I LOVE Maren Morris. Her songs are pretty adorable. Drunk Girls Don’t Cry is my favorite off of Hero.

Maren Morris is great! I’m happy for her.

7 Years is definitely one of my favorite songs of the year so I’m rooting for it.

Queen Latifah was made for that role. I loved the movie as well. But judging from the harshness going on up-comment, that is an opinion that should have me burnt at the stake. Ah well.

I SAID I LIKED YOUR COBBLERS

Same, I’m with you on that, I adored the movie version. And I expect to also adore the live version. Goddamn everyone’s in a foul mood on Jez/TheMuse today. I expect the live version will be on Hulu the next day, so you’ll be able to watch it if you’ve got it, right? Good luck navigating LAX, I believe in you!

You’re not alone, I thought the movie was cute and fun too.

So I guess I am in the minority that actually liked the movie, as nothing more than cute, campy (seriously, SERIOUSLY campy!) fun. Zac Efron almost made me reconsider my firm stance against being a cougar! j/k I kid, I kid. But I was looking forward to the live event, but now I will be picking up my niece from the…

Me too. If only there was a way to not have this appear on one’s television screen?

I have no strong feelings one way or the other about Hairspray, but I have to say that this overwrought (is there any other kind) theater-kid drama in the comments is giving me all kinds of life.

My husband’s ex-wife has been holding on for 20 YEARS. Her very favorite trick is subscribing to magazines for me using my madien name. I am currently getting Dr. Oz mag, Good Housekeeping, and Better Homes and Gardens courtesy of her. You would be surprised at how many magazines are out there, at least I am. I used…

I don’t understand holding on to that much hatred and hostility for that long to continue to email and name call and include the new boyfriend?!? Or maybe I’m just projecting because my ex-husband continues to do the same. I’m sure he’d CC my boyfriend if he knew his email or phone number.
