It's difficult to tell from the interview with Caitlin Holleran whether she really was paid nothing. I mean, yes, she says "we didn't get anything," but does that just mean no clothes/makeup on top of a paycheck, or no trade and no $$. If she literally got nothing, that's utter bullshit.

You are so right - we could be looking at this in the wrong way. Maybe there will be no fire? Maybe we will all have our hearts spontaneously ripped from our chests, or we will all be thrown from a precipice into limestone sinkholes (which will also spontaneously appear). This comes from my approximately 60 seconds…

Ah, of course! Good call.

And in what time zone? I mean, I want to plan accordingly and if we can catch a preview from what happens to Australia, all the better :)

So, not only was he sick enough to kill his mom, he decided to take out his hatred/rage/psychotic delusions on the innocent children she taught? This just keeps spiraling downwards. Those poor children, school employees and all the families.

This just wrecks me. Dogs are so trusting and want nothing more than our love and affection. They are far too often repaid with cruelty and brutality. If I had acres and acres of land, I would foster so many dogs. For now, I'll just hug my 2 pups very tight and reiterate my promise that I will always care for,…

Any time. And I am so sorry for what your "friend" did to you.

Being physically restrained (he wouldn't get off of her), while particularly vulnerable (she was intoxicated to the point of not being able to call for help or physically remove herself from the situation) does not equate to an annoying friend wanting to borrow money when you are perfectly capable of saying no,…

Not the same thing. At all.

The ability of these dogs to just give love immediately when they have been shown nothing but cruelty is just astounding.

The in-laws left this morning. Oh, thank jeebus. The MIL is pretty sweet, but you can bet she brought up babies (and our lack thereof). But the FIL, argh. He just couldn't wait for me to serve everyone and have a chance to sit down, too, before he start wolfing down the food I spent 3 days preparing; he definitely…

Sounds like you have all sorts of good things going on in your life, congratulations! Enjoy it all :) I love the UK and would love to have a Caribbean vacation to look forward to!

I am so so sorry. It makes me almost cry just thinking about ever losing my dogs (and they aren't even sick or very old). Dogs have a way of sneaking into your heart and taking up residence. Just know that you gave him the best life you could, and he knew it and loved you endlessly for that.

I was just looking at my pups and thinking how grateful I am that small dogs usually live long lives. That means I should have at least 5 more good years with the chihuahua and 10 with the pom/chi mix. I love my dogs way too much.

I love this movie. And the dog show, which I definitely watched. I was rooting for the 15" beagle to no avail :) Don't get sick! Drink lots of water and take a multi-vitamin. Best of luck.

3 days of preparation for 15 minutes of eating. And my father in law starts eating before I have even finished dishing everyone plates and had a chance to sit down. Then he tells me that next time I shouldn't make the soup so salty. Thanks. Haven't seen you in a year and already I am ready for you to go home. …

I've never had macaroni for Thanksgiving, but that sounds like a heavenly addition. One question: Macaroni and cheese? Or macaroni salad?

Science is amazing, and those dogs are adorable! Let us hope that they really are able to translate this advancement to humans.

I'm so on board with this. Okay, yes, there are some quality leggings that can be worn as "pants" without being inappropriate. Unfortunately, most of the people I see wearing leggings as pants are wearing ones that are see through, such that I can tell they are wearing polka dot underwear, or a thong. Just no. …

You sound very well-prepared, and it reminded me I need to fill the bathtub. Good call on the baby wipes and paper plates. I am above the evacuation line in Brooklyn, but I fully expect we'll lose power...good times. We'll huddle with our pups and hang out. I love that your ducks were having a grand ole time in…
