Mistress Epps behavior?

I don't think I have a side - but why are people team Mellie? (vs. team Olivia, I guess)

ohhh. for some reason it did not register with me that you were raised in the LDS church

was Catherine also a virgin? or was her baptism with his pastor about her becoming a born-again one?

why did your neighbors do that? I was taught it was wrong but I guess I was lucky people didn't ask me if I was doing it (I wasn't, more's the pity)

your good parenting story brightened my day : )

good points! thanks for enlightening me : )

"Blacklist" - was that in the monologue? I remember the "I'm the captain now" joke, but I took it as a sexual role-play joke.

you can definitely feel both! I myself feel

I usually want to keep women from being called bitches, but in this case, I think that's a mild version of what she deserves

I actually think it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a show like that!

This seems like a good time to put in a plug for the Essure permanent birth control procedure. I had it done in August, and I am very happy with it.

thank you for this! so beautifully said

this looks gorgeous! and any French subtitled film makes me feel fancy (and, somehow, very mistakenly, like I am learning French?)

that's what public libraries are for : )
