I wish I could give this more stars. If true, this is an amazing tale.

YEah - he's keeping it secret. It has to be an effort to withhold that info when they're talking about their pasts.

Whoa I was all what’s Fergie doing with Lindsay Lohan’s mom?

I think it has to do with improving friendships - when you can stop looking your nose down at people who make “bad choices” or can’t bounce back as easily as you think they should from disappointment. I have a friend who could really benefit from this kind of humility. It’s very uncomfortable being judged by someone…

Brown as in Middle-Eastern or olive-skinned? I am really asking. Most of the Israelis I know are darker, yes. Most of the Hasidim I see are very fair white people, yes. Of European, Ashkenazi extraction. I’m more talking about the latter. I’m sure there is some diversity, but I think the OP was referring to…

Brooklyn.

And the Ethiopian Jews in Israel never have to deal with racism, right? Show me a critical mass of Hasidic Jews of color and I will agree with you. Don’t think you can though. And a great many of the Hasidim I see in Brooklyn - which is a fuckload - are very fair white people. Just saying.

So the Talmud is passive aggressive against Persians?

Thank you. I wish he had addressed it in some way. Where is our new LGBT Ambassador on this?

I think this is great, but I really don't understand how it happened.

He will have to sell. But to whom? A terrible giant ugly condo developer I’m sure who will rent the entire storefront to Citibank and Duane Reade.

Did you live next door to Archie Bunker? PS - I like your username.

I’m sure it was awesome for them. May not have been why they named the dog Blackie though.

And leopard print, even.

Why are they suing? Nothing happened to them!

ATL is great, and the shopping is great there.

I love all these Brits saying Heathrow is fine, just fine, it’s all your fault you had a bad time there. Heathrow is the worst airport experience I’ve ever had.

HEATHROW is the SAME! 3 checkpoints, being manhandled by giant dyke security lady, crazy terminal changing. It was just like this place sounds.

Can you give some more examples of this alternative r&B genre? Possibly we are just olds and FO is just well known.

A lot of R&B is overproduced and not that interesting to my ears, whatever the subgenre. I actually like Rihanna, D'Angelo, and Frank Ocean - although I agree that FO is a different category sort of. I like a few Bey songs, I'm just not a super huge fan. She's really talented though.
