MySpace got popular when I was in high school and the bullying got so much worse because you couldn’t just go home and get away from it anymore. I really feel for kids today - they’re overworked and too plugged in. Kids shouldn’t go to school all day then have 4 hours of homework. We need to let kids be kids.

I’ve been watching Anthony Bourdain reruns and he was in Russia in 2014. They were talking about Putin’s personality and ego and Bourdain joked that he was “like Donald Trump.” And now, here we are.

Idk about 12, but I was definitely in love for realz the first time when I was 15. Also the first heartbreak. Absolute, soul-crushing heartache. Just because teens are hormonal doesn’t mean they don’t feel things just as strong.

Lol are you me? I had a huge crush on one of my middle school teachers and tried really hard to get him to spend time with me outside of school (which I now look back at and cringe hard). Luckily he was not a sleazeball and totally shut me down.

Yes - fellow short lady here and I get the patronizing comments all. the. time. But I’ve found people underestimating you often works to your advantage!

I can’t see Robert Shapiro’s name now without thinking of John Travolta and hearing David Schwimmer call him “Bobby” :-)

I grew up with very strict parents and therefore didn’t get out much and writing in a diary was really a way to beat the boredom, and also to express thoughts I couldn’t talk about with my very strict, emotionally unavailable parents. I got rid of all mine a long time ago, though. They were fairly depressing (my…

I had one of my o-ring collars too! My mom HATED that thing and was constantly trying to throw it away, and I was constantly pulling it out of the trash. Mine was a literal dog collar that my friend gave me, and I loved it because I thought she was super cool. Im a little embarrassed now that I realize it probably…

I grew up a poor kid in a wealthy (not like celebrity wealthy, but solid 6-figure income wealthy) neighborhood. Most of the other girls at my prom got the dresses with the sparkles and corset tops. My mom, for reasons I still don’t really get, was not at all interested in at least helped by me shop for a dress, so I…

Agreed. I get that it’s difficult to be a working parent in this country, but when you eat at a sit down restaurant, most of what you’re paying for is the experience of eating at a restaurant. Allowing small children to run amok is not only dangerous for your kiddos, but extremely disrespectful to your customers…

Good to know! It’s possible I’ve just met some bad apples. Like I said, I’m not super familiar with the official policies.

Wow, way to make assumptions. I’ve met many Muslim men who are excellent fathers. I’ve met Mormon men who are great fathers too, it just seems like the general trend that things like changing diapers, laundry, etc. is thought to be “women’s work.”

I don’t know about the official policy, but the Mormon men I’ve known were not into participating in child-rearing at all. My basic impression is that it’s expected the men work and the women raise the children.

I was always an Ed Green girl myself. That smile... *swoons*

It’s ok. Like I said, I’m really just there for the Duchovny :-)

I’m still a little salty that Aquarius got cancelled. Where am I gonna get my Duchovny fix now?!

Lol good idea. I’ll adopt one too. Hope they appreciate my mad Rice-a-Roni skillz.

I feel like Depp was legit drunk through the whole film. Could not understand a word he said. And that plot line? The fuck?

I remember that Calista Flockhart one and all the girls in middle school talking about it, and Ricci is definitely right about it. I remember watching educational eating disorder videos in gym class when I was struggling with an eating disorder and thinking about how nice it might be if I could get to the point of the…

She’s thinking about how awful that hat smells. Trust me, I have some experience with his type and they never wash those damn things...
