It did. I don't get it but I get it. Your personal experiences have had an impact on how you feel when these discussions come up. That part makes sense. I doubt my ex-friends have the same issue. I could ask but I don't care enough to do so.

Maybe you can shed some light on this. Why would you feel attacked? I ask because I've had some hot debates ever since Obama was elected and I've never had any compunction about pointing out racism when I see it. This has led to some severing of relationships as I wrote in another comment in this thread. Are there…

I've had two white male friends, one of whom I've known for decades, unfriend me on Facebook because of a couple of articles I posted regarding what normal people (everyone else) just considered relevant to whatever was in the news at the time. I was in disbelief but it's their loss because I am pretty awesome and…

I really miss this show.

I was just coming to say flash drive or a back up drive with ubs. I tend to back up my files and then delete them from my computer.

I don't even want to know the worldwide numbers because even 1 in 4 seems low to me.

If you can afford Saks and Neiman Marcus, you wouldn't carry your lunch from home. She did not think that through.

You're quite welcome!

This reminds me of Police Academy.

I wouldn't put her up there with Janet but she was better than JLo.

You're going to be fine!

Make sure you get pain meds. My lasik went beautifully and I only had a couple of uncomfortable hours immediately after surgery (until I took a pain pill and fell asleep) but I know two people who did PRK that were in a lot of pain the first night. One was recovering here so we drugged her up. The other, he told me…

Yikes. I may just be bitchy but it reminds me of Tony Goldwyn and his wife.

Excellent point!

Sorry, that's too much of a leap for me. How long could her leverage over Big Jerry last anyway? She had no proof it happened. Fitz might have believed her, might not have. The longer she waited, the less likely that was to happen because their relationship just kept deteriorating. What you're saying sounds plausible…

I previously had zero sympathy for Mellie and thought the writers just didn't know who she was. One minute she's reprimanding Olivia for not sleeping with her husband and pushing him into Amanda Tanner's bed and the next, she's a deeply wronged wife who just wants her husband all to herself. They even mixed up where…

I could totally see him digging up his father's body just to crush his bones to dust.

I really hope you're right. The rape thing (Mellie seemed to adore her father in law previously so it doesn't jibe and feels tossed in) and the Quinn imbecility have me thinking I may just stop watching. It feels like it's going off the rails.

You accused me of claiming to be an ally which is not something I have ever done plus all my posts in this thread clearly indicate that I'm black. You accused me of derailing a thread to talk about me and my feelings when it's obvious from my very first comment that I was defending the original poster's anger and…

Ah, I was confused. When you said banal and off the point, I thought you were talking about this particular thread. My bad.
