A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I worked for Harvard University's development office, and part of my job was to monitor the high profile divorces of their alumni and tally up who has how much money, who is getting the house, who is sleeping in the bathtub, etc. Lorna Wendt's husband what's-his-name was a…

The solution is simple. HERBS AND STEWED RABBIT. Use the Samwise Gamgee recipe. Mmmm, mmmm. And fur hats. North Dakota is cold, right?

Meh. If you seen Copley Plaza in Boston, you have seen them all. People used to be really impressed by labels once upon a time, but that Carrie Bradshaw shit just feel old and chumpy now.

You. Just. Nailed. It.

I need no more evidence that there must be something unhealthy and disturbing in his life behind whatever talent he has. How else does one explain this pairing.

Bravo Kelly, I just followed your Twitter! And I support your quest to cover that tattoo. I had a Dresden Dolls poster in my kitchen which I dearly loved (great artwork), but I just can't look at it anymore.

Take your own goddamned dishes to the sink when you are done. I am not a chambermaid. Sheesh. It's also your turn to scoop the cat box.

I don't believe I know everything about this story. But I do know an unreliable narrator when I am hearing one. Seriously, this woman sounds like a variation on Humbert Humbert, completely focused on justifying herself at all costs.

AND it is a an extremely telling absence. So the point of this article is to question that absence. "Hey you! You are, ahem, leaving out something pretty important!"

I think the point is that maybe her children have a valid point of view and that their mother is not being emotionally honest. She says herself that it all started with that email, but she skirts away from describing it. It's a red flag. A big chunk of this story is being completely left out. Surely her children had a…

I have never heard of anyone completely disowning his/her parents who did not have a deeply compelling reason. Usually this is an agonizing decision, precipitated by years of abuse and reasons piling up before it becomes clear that one's sanity depends upon it. The fact that BOTH of her sons have cut off ties speaks…

I walked to school by myself from kindergarten on. I got my first bike in second grade, and rode everywhere, even into neighboring towns (all day rides!) by myself, without bothering to clear any of this with my parents. Granted my own childhood gives "free range" new meaning (I often wonder what my parents were…

*Headdesk* I dearly hope there is a way around this....

I totally agree with you on this. The idea of a SOL on something like this is hideous.

I was going to say I think British tourists can give any bad tourist a run for their money. I lived in Turkey for two years and got very tired of hearing all the whining about where to get a "proper" British cuppa. You are in Turkey! Drink your tea Turkish style!

Hmmmm.... This one is within the statute of limitations to file criminal charges!. Let's all hope for the best.

BUNNY NOSES!!

Got a problem? This happens to be true. The American way of doing things is not universal, and figuring out how things are done when you visit a foreign country is pretty basic in my book.

Someone needs to tell Mel Mulcahey that when he travels to another country it is HIS JOB to familiarize himself with the customs, etiquette, and restaurant customs of the country he is visiting and not be the douchebag who believes that American practices are the default and that it is on the waiter to explain how…

My point exactly.
