Thank you. I’m at least finally starting to understand the truth of it all, but it’s a hard, long journey of recovery and I think I’m still at the very beginning.

No, I think the Calista Flockhart movie is the only ED movie I haven’t seen. I finally found it, I was thinking of the 1981 movie with Jennifer Jason Leigh, The Best Little Girl In the World.

haha, what’s sad is I think I know the gymnast and ice skater movies your thinking of. I also have pretty strong memories of the Karen Carpenter movie and the one Tracy Gold starred in when she was barely recovering from her own ED. No, I think I found it - I’m pretty sure I’m thinking of The Best Little Girl In The

I wish I could remember the name of some TV movie in the 80s or 90s about anorexia that the actress actually did get the lanugo body hair, and her skin did not look good, and her hair was thin and dull with no body and they made no effort to pretty it up. They also did a good job of showing what she saw when she

“People say they love you, but what they mean is they love how loving you makes them feel about themselves.”

I enjoyed your story, thanks for sharing. I can totally see why you would have the reaction you did to a seeing a Nazi flag in your home, an authentic representation of hateful racism and intolerance of the worst kind, especially from a family member who had issues with racism that had affected your life. I mean, I do

I’ve had some good luck with www.eshakti.com. They customize everything to your height for free, and for an additional $10 you can customize it even more, choose a different sleeve option, neck option, length of skirt, or even input all your measurements for a completely customized dress - any or all of these things

It took me way to long to figure out how statues could stop benefits.

The ones I really feel for are when it’s an unexpected change in routine, like the dad who usually does not take a child to daycare, but mom is sick, and he goes into daily routine mode and just drives to work and forgets the kid in the backseat. I can so understand that happening. But, yes, if you normally have kids

There’s a lot more to bacon than just salt.

Oof, thanks. I was feeling a bit down today. Now I know what I need, a good dose of Die Hard...

I really liked him in Taps. That was the first thing I ever saw him in, and nothing that has happened since then, in the movies or out, has done anything to convince me that his character in Taps was not his real, true personality, to the core of his being.

Only reason I clicked on the article. Had no idea what a “thirst trap” was and was confused about how those 2 words could be related to the header picture. Definite old here.

Honestly, I lean towards not giving dogs a “free bite,” but I’m willing to let them consider the circumstances and the dog’s general behavior/aggressive history. And I have some sympathy for a big dog trapped in an airline seat with strangers in his face, and the fact that he is a veteran’s support dog. But, yeah, I

Yeah, it’s really horrible all around, isn’t it? I hope they can determine that the dog doesn’t need to be put down, but can it continue as a service dog after it’s bitten someone like that?

I liked that book, too...and there’s finally a sequal coming out in November 2017. I’m cautiously optimistic about it.

There were many Christian groups trying to pray the hate away, but Jesus is sometimes pretty busy on Sundays. Some handed out

Really tough when those a**holes are all of your immediate family members.

I think it’s a combination of things - natural personality is probably a part of it, like if you’re over analytical, a bit obsessive over details, overly aware of everything going on around you, especially other people’s reactions and expressions, and/or sensitive to emotions, both your own and other people’s. But I

A bit, but still better than sleeping under a bridge.
