No he wasn’t a writer but he was oftentimes the first commenter on a story. Sometimes he’d post on Jez stories but I think just when they were cross posted from gawker. He was unliked here because he was a blatant, BLATANT, rape apologist. I mostly read Gawker so didn’t realize it at first but saw firsthand pretty…

So sorry to hear this. I’m 31 and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis a year ago; I now walk with a cane. I know it’s not the same, but I applied for disability. First question, are you American? Because what I’m about to write only applies to the American SSD system; however, there may be something here that may…

hi everyone!

One of the things that’s so heartbreaking about her death is that their daughter seems so well-adjusted. Which means she was being properly parented. Which means her loss is a particularly acute one. Sometimes these things just make me mad at the world. The Mom (and Dad) who were injecting their children with…

She is always thinking of him. Acknowledging that you think of him and miss him too is sharing in that grief. It is not bleak. She might cry. But that is because you’re giving her the space for that, but you’re not MAKING her cry if that happens.

My sympathies to you. The Old Bear has been gone just over a year now. I still go to dial that phone number and tell him odd ball things or to see how he is doing. It hits me all over again every single time that the guy is just gone. And I know this is really the shittiest thing ever but I still cannot make myself go…

I lost my first husband when I was 32. Numb slog is a perfect description. I cried hysterically the first day, after they took his body away, then I just shifted into going through the motions. It was about a year before I got back to mostly functioning. Three years before I didn’t tear up when I thought about him.

Same. My mom’s neighbor called last week basically to say, “all she wants to do is lay in bed and eat doritos.” and I’m like, “okay, so I will bring her more doritos. It’s fine.”

I had the chance to see Patton at the Irvine Improv in one of his first official shows after his wife’s death and it was some of the best stand up I’ve seen live. Not only was his banter with the audience so quick and smart, but the stuff about Trump and his wife and daughter was so on point. There were moments in…

I lost my dad in the previous century and I’m sorry to tell you it will always suck - however, as time goes on, you’ll get used to the suckiness. I still miss my father every single day, but now thinking about him doesn’t bring tears to my eyes like it did for a year or so after he died.

I lost my husband to melanoma 4.5 years ago. He had just turned 50, and I was 10 years younger. I am better now, and even got extremely lucky in finding a rather amazing, patient love again 8 months ago, but I am still a mess in spots.

I’m going through this right now. I just lost my dad, and Oswalt’s words on his loss have been helpful, in a “Right. This is how it’s supposed to be.” way. It sucks. It all sucks and will suck for the foreseeable future.

Guy’s got a point. :(

I’ve been looking at all this debate of Beyonce “Is she overrated? Is she too packaged?” and all that shit, and it really got me thinking about why I admire her.

Dang, I was so ready for drama! I thought it was equal parts racism and Dixie chicks grudge enduring- especially since they inserted some shady Long Time Gone in to Daddy Lessons. I like drama with a lot of layers that you have to do your homework to understand just HOW MUCH drama is going on, so I’m a little…

You mean Kenney Chesney? I didn’t see Urban in the video but I did see an extremely constipated Chesney.

By the same token

That’s interesting because I’m also totally cool with being friends with my girlfriend’s exes as long as they don’t contact me or her or look at me or her or exist on Earth.

i’m fine being pals with all of my wife’s exes...as long as i am better looking and more endowed than them.
