Waitwaitwait. Fur is back??? How did that happen?? Am I gonna have to get my spray paint out???

That guy is the worst, and not even slightly funny. I almost feel sorry for him because he has so little comedic talent yet he is pursuing comedy. How desperate to you have to be to pick on someone who lost her arm? REALLY desperate and sad.

Really, it's sad. What does she have to look forward to in life? My first place after college was a room in some lady's house, no kitchen, shared bathroom. LOVED IT. When I moved into a studio apartment with my boyfriend, with our own tiny kitchen and two-person breakfast nook, I was in heaven.

I don't get people's obsession with "specialness." It doesn't really exist. A kid who can read the New Yorker at 4 has an amazing skill, and that's super-cool. But that doesn't give him or her value as a person.

I have two teenage boys and I'm pretty sure we don't have any rules. I certainly have high expectations, though. They are expected to act like good, kind, and decent people and not break any laws. I think that's it? I'm sure they've lied to me about how much homework they have and stuff like that, but nothing major.…

You just didn't know that the point of BCO is to enjoy the cathartic experience of stupidity. If you don't get it, you just keep moving and get out of the way. Don't undermine the catharsis!

I hope you find relief somehow! Best wishes to you.

Have you, or anyone else, tried SSRIs or tricyclics for this? Anyone found anything medication-wise that works?

This is why writers need to find someone they trust to be their literary executor. The responsibility for deciding what should be published needs to be in the hands of someone who genuinely cares about the writer's wishes and best interests.

The bacteria "rears back." Haha—what?

This woman clearly doesn't like her children and probably never has. She probably spent their childhoods trying to improve them and hassling them about the multiple ways they have disappointed her. She sees all this as simply trying to "help" them, or even just as normal parenting. Some people think parenting means…

Huge, huge waste of resources, when there are so many kids being abused *in their own homes.* It's got to be more dangerous for kids to be at home than to be walking home.

Except: If they don't advertise that it's wild-caught, OF COURSE it's farmed.

Someone gave me some awesome hand-knitted socks about ten years ago and I still wear them! They're like new! I wouldn't complain if all my presents were hand-knitted socks.

You're absolutely right, of course. I mean, I think what they're doing is fine, whatever, but of course the kids' sense of entitlement, disrespect, and lack of thought for others comes directly from the parents. They're hypocrites, and they're probably hypocrites every day. They're like the people who tell their kids,…

Yeah, me too. Her mouth makes these awful little smacking noises, too. And she doesn't keep still. KEEP STILL WOMAN.

There seems to me to be a big difference between a false pregnancy, in which you get all the symptoms but no baby (and you understand that you are NOT pregnant after all), and a delusional pregnancy. Delusions are weird. They persist in spite of COPIOUS evidence of the contrary. When my mother was dying she had some…

I know two Astrids, one Nina, and one Henrietta, though she's a grown up.

same thing happened to me... no one can spell it, either. I gave my kids ordinary names.

My kid says that "Brian" and "Stacy" sound like old people's names. Weird!
