So you don't spank your son, except when you do.

Hi, my major is in Early Childhood development (with a concentration on Elementary and Adolescence), and I'm just going to say it: spanking is bullshit. You know why it's obviously bullshit? Because you have to keep doing it. If your kid keeps getting his or herself into trouble constantly and you keep hitting…

"You finally had the courage to do what I couldn't do, even after you were kissing and making dinners for your neighbor behind my back, when you got together with ex-boyfriends without telling me, and accepted dates from other men, but didn't call them dates because you didn't think they really were."

"There is no shame in admitting you don’t know everything about how to be a good friend, lover and partner". Says a cheater who tossed aside his wife and children. Choke on your sadness, dude.

I think she deserves the last word.

The funeral, as they say, is for the living. So I would argue, do whatever you have to to get the taint of the dead off you.

"You're terrible, Muriel!"

Living deep in the bible-belt and being a 30-something, vagina-having, marriage-free, childless, world traveling, home owning, sex liking woman with no plans to change any of those things, I get the "why buy the cow" comment quite often.

There is a group of skater boys that live in my apartment building. They are probably between the ages of 10 and 15, and 5 or so of them skate together after school every day, frequenting the sidewalks and areas where I walk my dog. My dog is very skittish and gets really scared at the sound or sight of a skateboard.

One of my favorite movies. I've been a sincere fan ever since:

I so wish someone could identify those 100 people who unfriended her, remove from the list those who were triggered for legitimate reasons, and give me the remainder so I could personally punch them in the larynx with my elbow.

You don't have to get it. No one cares.

I really can't take you seriously if the opening line of your 15 page dissertation is "I'm a man and honestly enjoy women with extra fat because in a relationship they're snuggly." Cool story bro. Thanks for showing up and telling us about your penis feelings. I hope you find that perfect woman who is FIT and also…

Glad that we could make this all about your sexual needs, bro! That's what women all care about—if GrauGeist would "do" us with the lights on or off. I've been up nights worrying—but maybe I'll just bring my trusty paper bag, so I don't have to worry?

Huh. Many of these were what I'd consider conventionally attractive people, and I had that reaction a couple of times.

1. Being thin doesn't make her "better than them" and it isn't something for which she wishes to receive "constant validation." If it were, then she wouldn't be writing this letter.

It's so terrible; i was living with Sharon Tate when Charles Manson killed her but had gone out for McDonalds, I dated Ted Bundy but he never made a pass, I knew John Wayne Gacy but just as a friend, I lived but almost died during Katrina and lost everything I had, while in Florida Casey Anthony was my babysitter, …

That sounds way too close to me like the excuses people make for street harassment. "It's just a compliment" is never an excuse to talk about someone's body if they don't want you too. It's rude to make unwanted comments on anyone's body, period. We don't expect women to be ok with an older woman telling a young girl…

Does someone being attractive preclude them being smart? Where is this magical formula with which you have worked out your children's IQ's, or hers? Are you aware that measuring an Intelligence Quotient is considered a terribly inexact and redundant science and that there are different forms of intelligence? Or that…

I sense a lot of projection and hostility; not sure why. But glad you're going to have smart kids!!
