When they released a statement (I think before the infuriating press conference was even over) to ask everyone for peace. They can't win, can they?

Wilson is alive, not in jail, and has received over $400,000 in donations from supporters (aka more than a person earning 2x min wage for 40 hrs/week will earn in 10 years). How in the hell is his life "over"?

people who are saying that Darren Wilson's "life is over,"

*sips tea*

He doesn't look like a "goober" there. He looks '80s hot. This just makes me love him more.

I am in the same boat, sister. (or brother!). I told my staff, "listen. I had a rough night. I'm not angry with you, but I am tired and upset and grumpy. Just a warning." I think they know better than to mention any of that to me at this point. Someone tried to talk about it and I said, "NO. we are not talking about…

And at all these restaurants the sodium numbers are horrifying too!

As if the splitting parties aren't…

I want to cross-stich this whole thing into a giant mural and just hang it over every single door. You're completely right, and it applies even beyond the scope of divorce—if your close friend is upset, it's up to you to support them as best you can (unless it's something truly unforgivable).

Okay, I might just be young and naive here, but one of my good friends recently went through this (married at 23, divorced at 25). I found that there is only one appropriate thing to say, which is "I'm here to support you. Let me know whenever you need me." And what followed were a lot of nights around a bottle of…
