@heatherdazy: What Oleander said. It's a kneejerk reaction, not something I am proud of, and I am deconstructing it.

This is really making me confront my discomfort with Jews marrying outside the faith. I am grateful for the challenge.

@GunwallsLizzie: He left his pregnant wife for Alicia. And is fighting his ex on paying support.

@PhillyLass: Sounds like a stand-up guy. I wonder what Keys sees in him.

@PhillyLass: Seconded. My feelings exactly.

@GunwallsLizzie: I would hardly think marrying someone you know for a fact to be an adulterer is "well-played".

@graham_but_not_a_cracker: FTR, I am pro-abortion. Abortions are essential and beneficial to society. One abortion can improve the lives of many people. Some lives are not worth living and some babies should never have been born. I believe all of these things and they do not detract in any way from my moral character,…

@jenalicious: Unwanted pregnancies will never be "completely preventable". There is no such thing as 100% effective birth control - it doesn't exist. Not even abstinence, from intercourse or from all sexual contact works 100% of the time. People have gotten pregnant from non-penetrative sexual activity and from rape.

@RenoMartini: Word. I spent the whole article thinking of the unmentioned women who terminate wanted pregnancies around that timeframe because of defects which are not compatible with life. I know personally two women who were put in that position, and my idol, Madonna, was too.

@Interrobangin': Isn't that how it works in the real world, anyway?

@Jerry Mahoney: "what would be the point of dating someone you find unattractive?"

@sangmo: Even if it weren't the brother's partner who had donated, the risk of abnormalities due to one generation of inbreeding are so close to those of the general population that the "risk" is statistically negligible.

how tiny his hands are.

@I, Zombie Normal: In short, yes. Because of the nature of pawn shops and the fact that they practically EXPECT to be used to fence goods, they have internal processes in place to make it possible for stolen property to be returned to its rightful owner. With the private sale, who is to say that the person who stole…

@CassandraSays: ...and now I remember why I hearted you. 'Zacktly. I think people who find her quote a bitter pill to swallow, are jealous of Turlington's opportunities and experiences. They don't want to hear that the grapes are sour, because it doesn't fit with their envious fantasy.

@MakeMeSmile: Yes, really. It was on CBC radio. I heard it at least twice, once when they aired the original documentary and once in summer re-runs. They might still have it in their podcast archives, even. It's out there, on tape, for posterity. Maybe some weekend I will dig it up, so I can pull it out at times like…

@slf72: Actually, she normally wore less - her bulky outfit was a petulant reaction to the nudes published in Playboy and Penthouse a few weeks before. She even said; "I ain't taking shit off today", on stage.

@MakeMeSmile: Although some of the official mouthpieces of The Secret did go on public radio and say that the principles of the book apply to rape victims, who brought rape upon themselves by subconsciously fearing it. I will never hear anything in favour of that shit again. Game over. I'll stick with Outliers,…

@PennyArcadia: Spain "got away with" things that were worse than kicks right in the sternum? Zuh?

@DoxyByProxy: I was just coming in here to say that! I am tempted to add "Naiad" to our list of baby names, but I don't think I have the cojones.
