Your first point that only we do this is also an argument for:

It's pretty easy to make judgments about us women and how dumb we are, but there is no flashing red light that dings when things cross the line into abuse. Have you ever had a partner or friend that expressed any sort of jealousy? Did you run screaming? Probably not, because it doesn't start with a punch to the face.…

I am so sorry for your awful journey, and to be separated from your son for so long. I hope that the custody gets fixed so you have more time ASAP!

Good luck and good energy headed your way—-leaving will suck, but every day you stay is one day longer you wait for your eventual freedom. Start on the road—and treat yourself how you would treat your best friend—you'd want her out, you'd support her, so do it for yourself!

Interesting article! Sad that their best efficiency seemed to be in rounding up and slaughtering people.

W O W. That is really scary—your brother sounds like his heart could use to grow a few sizes. I have, many years after childhood, somehow gone from the the "weird freak most likely to be a junkie" to "favorite child" which has been odd—but my siblings are pretty cool and never took off my finger!

I don't think any of the "ouch" comments are people joking—I think you are predisposed to assume we are joking when we are actually showing sympathy.

Please oh please let the dad have sole custody. That is just a horrific horrific series of events.

Why did your brother do that?!

What about Cathy?

Um, how have you not heard of Ball Memorial Hospital? It's the finest hospitable for any and all scrotal damage!

I completely agree that the sentence seems light—-but the rest of your comment is not winning any sympathy.

But measles just got tastier, right?

They must get really riled up about all the dihydrogen oxide that is everywhere, and even in our bodies!

I'm certainly not pro-Nazi (being of European-Jew extraction I lost family members in the Holocaust), but they were models of efficiency, and not *every* idea was bad or they could never have pulled off what they did.

I away about to write the same thing!!!

While in Iceland for our honeymoon, Mr. MacGynver and I had an absolutely amazing meal at Frederic V in Akureyri (it has since moved to Reykjavic). It was a ten course tasting menu with fresh Icelandic ingredients, and nine of the dishes were truly phenomenal. But one of them was whale—which tasted like spoiled, oily,…

Did they proceed to chant that you were going to birth the Stallion that Mounts the World?

I totally wanted to try hakarl when I was in Iceland, but (perhaps luckily) could not find it anywhere.

YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! Are you still friends? Do you fight crime?
