Bear with me, because this is probably going to be long and disjointed, and I apologize if I overstep my bounds. I don’t know the depth and breadth of your love for her; nor whether it is brotherly, romantic, godly, or some combination. But it is clearly different from other friends whom you have cut out of your life.…

You are awesome for doing this. My very limited experience with is that the courts will listen to the desires of a 17 1/2 year old regarding where he wants to live; though I don’t know about courts in Wyoming. .(On a side note — God, Wyoming is awful! I ived there for 3 years and couldn’t get out fast enough).

It sounds to me, piecing together a lot of things you have said about her through the thread, that there might be a whole other issue here — substance (opiate?) addiction/abuse. Is that a possibility? Maybe it doesn’t matter if she won’t get help anyway.

Yes! I don’t even know what they have to report — nothing exciting is ever happening around here. It’s not like I’m solving for cold fusion on my laptop.

Cats are the worst pets to have if you believe in the paranormal. I assume mine have to race through the house to urgently get into a closet to communicate with the Mother Ship.

The Naked and The Dead by Normal Mailer. I got a challenge from a friend to read 6 NY Times bestsellers — any era as long as it was atop the list for at least 4 weeks. I’m reaching all the way back to 1948 for this one. I alternate fiction and non fiction, so I read The Kitchen God’s Wife, The Wright Brothers,…

Wait, wait, wait...I know this one... they hate Bono, too?

“What many people don’t understand, or don’t want to understand, is that Wayne, Chris and the folks who work so hard at the @NRA are Great People and Great American Patriots. They love our Country and will do the right thing. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Elizabeth Swaney: Tommy Wiseau on skis.

Intervals. When you hit that wall, walk. Walk 100 paces, then jog 100 paces or whatever you can do. Then repeat until you have reached your goal. You might even find that you can run another 0.5 to 1 mile if you walk for juist a couple of minutes.

My story is just, ugh. My one sister who is married sent a group text to all of my other sisters (in our 40s) and her 19 year old son “Happy Singles Awareness Day.” It is true 99.99% of the time I am perfectly happy being single, but the last few weeks I’ve been a little salty. I waited a couple of hours and…

Thank you for that kind response to suicidal blonde. I’m surprised at the antipathy the commenters have directed towards your ex-friend without knowing the content of the email. It could be manipulative BS, but it could also be a genuine apology that asks for nothing in return. If someone needs to do that to heal -…

The Arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards Justice. it’s taking far too long, but the dominoes will fall.

Maybe it’s also time to look at osteopathic medicine and all of its “manipulation”. Everybody who defended this guy’s actions as appropriate medicine were osteopaths. How f***** up is it that an entire Healthcare field could defend this as appropriate. And lay people will believe them because “they’re doctors”

Yes, well we all have the brain dwelling parasite from scooping the litter box. Mind control achieved....

Disney has been very gay friendly for a long time, back even in the nineties. My understanding is that the drop in attendance is at least in part due to higher ticket prices- which were raised to decrease crowding in the Parks. Supply and demand.

Yup. The lady doth protest too much.

Ah! I was given the audiobook and instructed to listen to it first, before watching the movie, because Greg does such a great job mimicking Tommy. So I knew what I was getting into before watching. I have not heard of a movie of The Disaster Artist, but will definitely watch it. Tommy, Tommy, Tommy - so many…

Oh my god The Room! I watched that movie sober ( why?) after a friend loaned me The Disaster Artist. Good for you that you can embrace it.

The only movies i saw this year were Ghostbusters and Rogue One, so...?
