Absolutely. I find that kind of dynamic hard to wrap my hear around, I jus go the impression from the OP that that was not the dynamic. I think when those dynamics are clear everyone can predict the outcome. What concerns me is when siblings have the same upbringing, and one interprets things so radically different,…

So, why does your sister interpret her memories in that way, in your opinion? I worry about this a lot with my daughter. Do you feel your parents treated you both the same? Is she just a negative, pessimistic person?

Yeah, I mean, short of murder, there really isn’t anything Idris could do that would make me not attracted to him.

So my nanny (I guess my kids nanny?) has a book that she got from the author, Joe DiMaggio’s niece, who was friends with Marilyn. Apparently according to this lady, Marilyn was murdered. People believe this. I didn't know that was a thing.

Yes, the whole setting was so British. I think setting it in the U.S. completely changes the feel. booo.

I'm coming up on the 9 year anniversary of my dad's death. I get it.

Absolutely. My brother in law is an alcoholic, he was severe enough that his life was being destroyed, but he knows that he can never safely drink. He knows himself. Some people can, others can't. I just think if drinking is causing anxiety, feelings of self loathing, physical illness, whatever, whether you are a…

So true. I do think there are objective signs of a drinking problem. And then there are people (as demonstrated by these comments) who regardless of the amount they drink, its a problem for them. I drink, I probably drink more than some of the commenters here who have a drinking problem. But I’ve never worried or even…

Yours is small. If it was big, you'd know. No mirror necessary.

Seriously, Christ, this person must be a 20 year old boy who has no concept of what labia can look like. I guess “Mayers” would have thought I was a working girl at the age of 12.

Color guard. And my band was pretty bad ass. We won a lot. We did a parade march like a goose step (but not, much less of a leg swing) and then the roll step for field.

It's like that Star Trek The Next Generation episode when Wesley Crusher defeats an addictive game that causes its players to become susceptible to mind control, and then an alien species tries to infiltrate the enterprise as a result.

Hug your friend tonight. I’m trying not to cry at work.

It's supposed to be "reasonable officer" would a reasonable officer fear for his life. Clearly, the standard is not being applied, since these situations are the antithesis of reasonable.

I work with cops. And the one thing all these cases seem to have in common, these cops are scared. They are scared of black people, or they are scared of people. I don’t know. But their fear results in lost lives. Something is wrong with our police training, or recruiting, or something. Maybe police work attracts…

Also, I think baby brain is real irrespective of the authors reasons, and its mostly due to exhaustion or just plain distraction. My friend is pregnant with her second child, total baby brain, even though all that stuff (parenting styles, childcare, where they will sleep, nursing, etc., etc.) is not a concern since…

I was in mainland China in 2000. I had so many people, daily, wanting to take pictures with me. Children, girls, boys, adults. One woman, handed me her baby, who promptly started screaming, I thought she was going to take off, no, she wanted to take a picture of me holding her son. I’m 5'7 and brunette. I had braces…

When my kid was 6 weeks old I went wine tasting!! woo hoo! Well I was feeling no pain, so I pumped, then labeled the milk "alcohol milk" froze it, then used it to add to other milk over time. This was at the advise of my lactation consultant. So, you can still use the milk even if you're trashed!

Or, more likely, she lied. And didn't go 12 hours between feedings, which explains why the kid was showing signs of cocaine.

You don't need to pump and dump. Alcohol stays in the milk supply similarly to blood. One the blood alcohol levels drop, you can safely breastfeed. However, if you feel really intoxicated, you should not nurse your child. I drank and nursed. Never did my child exhibit any signs of intoxication. This woman must have…
