Because I'm fascinated by this particular brand of crazy, I fell down the rabbit hole and tried to piece together what was going on. From what I can tell, this stalker woman (and her sister and mother) have been harassing Tig for a while and has involved court appearances. Ugh! Not cool.

1. Damn, I forgot to get tickets for last nights show. *kicks self*

The original production used teenagers/young adults purposefully and brilliantly. I'm also bummed that these characters are being played by children, but Disney wants to make this super family friendly. BOOO!

I'm about 1/3 way through Tiger's Wife and I'm not really finding it all that compelling. It's beautifully written but I don't really seem to care about the main character or her grandfather. But it's a book club book, so I feel compelled to finish it. Especially after not finishing last month's horrible pick. Oh,…

Thanks, MrsTennant!

Yup, what a horrible precedent. I don't want this and I REALLY don't want a princess with cancer. This pink month is awful enough for me, I don't want a for-profit entertainment company to take on a fantasy character that has a complex disease or condition. I think Disney should continue on working on coming up…

You're getting mammograms despite having a bilateral mastectomy? That's interesting. That is not standard procedure here in NYC. I've met with surgical oncologists and medical oncologists at almost all the hospitals and they said that a plus to the bilateral mastectomy (if I chose to go that route) was the lack of…

Thank you for this. Also, I should add that while the slightly elevated risk of uterine cancer sucks, personally I'm not too concerned about it because I will be closely monitored for it. Uterine cancer is easier to detect in the earlier stages.

I'm so very glad to hear that. I'm sorry I can't read your story right now. I'm going to bookmark it and read it in the future when I'm mentally in a better place. :-)

Has your mom been tolerating it well? So far, I have been doing pretty good. I have some light hot flashes and weird PMS-like symptoms, but because I'm paranoid and I have the BRCA variant, I'm going to be monitored by a gyn. oncologist so that he/she can keep an eye on my ovaries and uterus. Really, I recommend…

Yeah, I actually just made a mental note that I need to meet again with my new genetic counselor who, by the way, is awesome! The first one I had was just in the wrong field and didn't seem to grasp the complexities of it all. Anyway, my new one is a 20 year veteran who went above and beyond to research my…

Thank you! It's really disturbing to read (and damn me for clicking on this story - I'm really too fragile right now) that this medication I've been taking for the last 3 months and will be taking for the next ten years of my life is "toxic poison." Tamoxifen has single-handedly revolutionized BC treatment by…

I can't read this article because I can't emotionally handle it but here's my experience with BRCA: I have a BRCA 1 variant of unknown significance. Basically, I have a mutation in my BRCA gene but they can't say as of yet if it's a mutation that would cause BC. Their analysis says that it's unlikely a dangerous…

I've been thinking getting my tailor's bunions checked out. Surgery is probably unwarranted but I do wonder about them.

You know, back in ye olde days (largely in Europe and North America), men's fashion was much more important and men (not women) wore heels to enhance their sexy calfs. But those men thinking about this evolved and stuck. I hope for this kind of evolution for women. Heels DEFORM your feet. Nope, I don't care that I…

I actually happened upon this episode last night. We all the eps stacked up on our DVR but haven 't gotten to them (and so many other shows) yet. Anyway, Anthony Anderson and Laurence Fishburne, but the rest of the cast are, imo, unwatchable. The kids are stiff and all they seem to do it mug-it-up for the camera. …

Well, this is the consequence of that big huge group of intolerant, ill-humored people getting on a bunch of boats, sailing across the Atlantic and trying to build a creepy theocracy in the "New World." Mike Seaver is making his Puritan Forefathers proud.

A rant because I earned it:

Remember the early to mid 90s Birkenstocks and socks trend? Good times. If this is a way to show off your awesome socks because you're a collector of awesome socks then, yay! If not, it's stupid.

Although not in the tech. sector, I also work for one of the largest companies in the US and they don't cover a cent of any fertility procedures or treatment, not even due to medical conditions like cancer. I wonder if I should spend the time and effort trying to get some kind of reimbursement on the $8k (which would…
