I'm so glad I'm not the only one being distracted from my rage stroke with "This question is not only reprehensible, it makes no grammatical sense!"

I love the name Linus!! It was the name of one of my early crushes in school... i still miss my Linus and wish I could find him again. I am very pro-Linus.

Give him a neutral middle name he can use if Linus is a problem. Or maybe try to get close to Linus? I've always liked the name "Leonas" a lot.

Bingo.

Not judging here, but this is concerning as it's not healthy for you— emotionally and physically. It seems to be further isolating you, and preventing you from having connections with other people. It also seems like he is taking advantage of you in a way. He knows you're vulnerable as you've been isolated for a long…

A friend of mine* is opening a cafe built around cheese plates, grilled cheese, and mac 'n' cheese. My friend* is looking for cool combos, and what you all look for in a place that is supposed to be comforting and mellow. What does your local hang-out do that you really like?

I think that people can make associations with pretty much any name they've ever heard (my one brother and I have "normal" names, although mine isn't very common, but we have still gotten some shit for them due to characters with our name on TV, in movies, etc.). OTOH, my other brother has a very uncommon name and has…

I think it's adorable, but it's also in my list of favorite baby names for boys, so maybe I'm biased. ;)

I like Maisie-Grace! But I can guarantee my husband will not. Penny is gaining in popularity, though there weren't too many three years ago , when we almost named our two year old that. Unfortunately, we really like Kenny, and we didn't want to have rhyming names should baby #2 be a boy. ;)

I like it! And who cares about the Charlie Brown reference? Anytime you pick an actual name, you're going to have associations like that.

I'm going to go ahead and suggest that these people are not very good friends to you. They may have been at one point, but they are no longer treating you as you should be treated by friends. I'm not saying you should shun them as well, but meeting some new people and forming some new friendships could be a really…

I dunno, I feel like the Peanuts is old enough that it might not have much impact on a child born this year.

You're right - thank you. Internet hugs to you too

That's what I thought but it hasn't happened. I tend to see things in people before others do...but it's been a couple years since the incident that really upset me, and they seem to hang with her, while claiming to dislike her.

It worked out OK for Linus Pauling.

I would purposely choose a "boring" last name to go with Myriad. An unlikely first name + unlikely last name often comes off as too comicbook villain-y. But one name being unlikely and the other name being ordinary = class.

It warms my blackened heart that ever so slowly, some parts of Hollywood and the media are realizing that just because Woody Allen has "made some good films" it doesn't mean he should escape the sexual molestation allegations.

I'm not a victim of any sexual assault, but it's also bugging the hell out of me that Hollywood continually props this guy up. Of course, they do the same with Polanski. I guess I should not be surprised that an industry that casts women based on boob size and perceived fuckability does this, but it's still…

If anyone could send good vibes to my husband, that would be amazing. He has a really nasty case of the flu and has fluid in his lungs, had to be hooked up to a breathing machine, etc. He seems to be doing better, but he's also highly contagious and I'm terrified of getting it too, since neither of us has paid sick…

To be clear, you are talking about incest? The fact that you feel like you have no one else is troubling to me. In any relationship, it helps to have outside support. The fact that you are isolated and fear a therapist's recommendations means that you know something is off. Is there anyone else you feel comfortable…
