I'm glad this report turned out this way, but it absolutely was part of an effort to force American nuns to fall in line. And I appreciate you writing "purported Cool Pope Francis." The American love affair with this pope is crazy-making.

I'm enjoying a rainy morning on the couch with a blanket, a cup of tea, and my sweet sweet boy kitty from the shelter. He's 20 pounds of love and trouble and I'm grateful to have him in my life.

Oh, good grief. She means she loves and nurtures her dog (among others). Dont be so self righteous.

I'm a former high school teacher and this story is so frighteningly familiar.

German man in a rainstorm sounds like the stuff of romance novels! Well done.

I'm not! He was 16, as was I, and a handsome soccer-playing altar boy (oh yeah) from Argentina! We had a grand time.

I adore this comment.

This was delightfully written! Well done, Kelly. I think I enjoyed the idea of Will emerging from a vehicle to shouts of "Where's Kate?" most of all.

It hurt terribly going in, but comes out like nothing at all. They tell you to cough and it's over.

I had quite a lot of trouble with mine, but it's wonferful if it works for you.

I find this delightful! And I feel a kinship with his stained teeth, though I don't think mine are quite that bad (yet). Down with teeth whitening!

Yeah, no offense intended to Madeline, but Jia makes me laugh so hard.

Let's hang out!

"I'm ordering her released," he said finally. "I just don't see the danger. Not believing a doctor? Going to another doctor? I just… don't see the danger there."

I don't think she's pregnant. But, as the judge in the hearing implied, she was being held because she doubted her various doctors, as if that in itself made her a danger to herself. For a doctor to believe that questioning him (or dozens of others) warrants her being held against her will is, absolutely, an ego trip.…

Does no one mix prescription pills with booze anymore? I like my drug abuse to have an upper middle class, mid-century feel. Pot is stinky.

This poor woman. I realize that the likelihood of her being pregnant is slim to none, and yet what really strikes me about the situation is how horrible it is to be a woman whom no one believes. That, and doctors and their precious egos.

Lol, yes, I can pronounce it.

I think Mila Kunis screwed up. This guy is weird but Ashton Kutcher is a garbage person. Also, Macaulay looks pretty good in that tank top. I guess I'm ovulating this week?

What the hell?
