I don't know. Part of me is like, "Yeah!" Another part of me is not into what might be the normalizing of violence against women. All you jezzies can now tell me how the opposite will happen.

OMG you total liar you know you said I could have it as long as I didn't tell mom that you — stop hitting me!

She SAID I could have it! (clutching it)

Sparkle_Motion, stop lying. We all KNOW that YOU didn't always say, "If you're going to be an animal racist, be distinctive! Be different! Craft your very own "unique" brand!

Kids who are taught well by good parents do!

Your 12-year-old notices it because he has good parents who taught him right.

Good. I am glad I am not alone in this. Yes — the most obvious thing, o-

That's because you don't understand this woman's world or life. You cannot fathom what she faces every day — she and her child are going to starve to death and she will do whatever she can to survive. She doesn't live here — in the West — with its opportunities and advantages — no. She can't afford to make that…

Yes...except...she's facing death. She and her child could very well starve to death. She's desperate. She knows no other way to survive in this society (LITERALLY survive) without playing by its rules. She doesn't know about any options — there may not be any for her.

I always thought Gatsby was a Jew. Always. His name is really Gatz — he's got that love for the shiksa g-ddess — he "came from nowhere" or whatever Tom said — he can make all the money he wants; he'll still never fit in and be a part of the ruling class. I am not saying Fitzgerald meant for him to be a Jew — I am…

Oh, you're so cute and young I want to pinch your cheeks. Listen, kiddo — OWN yourself. You are who you are! Be proud of YOU — and you are a lot more than your privileges, my dear. Stop feeling guilty. You can't help that you are lucky and it doesn't make you a bad person. Just be you. Be honest. You don't…

I doubt the doorman ever thinks about her. I doubt he knows her name. He kind of recognizes her (he has to — but it's a huge building). She just can't bear to imagine a world where everyone isn't envying her all the time, so she likes to imagine that her doorman hates her.

I hope those tips help — remember, everyone is different. Me, though, I HATED it when people would say, "How are you?" and when I said, "Fine," they would say, "No, REALLY, how are you? You can tell me." The "fine" was supposed to indicate that I did NOT want to talk about it and I resented people trying to force…

Well, that is the absolute WORST, most heartless thing you could have said. I'll bet you thought you were being helpful. You weren't. The WORST thing you can do to someone who is hurt is say, "Don't let that get to you." That puts the blame on THE VICTIM — something bullies love, btw. They LOVE to hurt a person and…

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Did I say thank you? THANK YOU! Truer words were NEVER spoken. The WORST thing you can do to someone who is hurt is say, "Don't let that get to you." That puts the blame on the victim — something bullies love, btw. They LOVE to hurt a person and then BLAME the victim for being…

I am sorry your mum has it. It's not fun — to put it mildly. Thanks for your kind words. At least people like me and your mom have more options for treatment than we used to — but it SUCKS. I won't lie. It does. Oh, btw — she might pretend to be normal, etc., now for a while. She's not. Watch her. Make she…

It's a glorious thing. As I said, I can't use tampons anymore. And my Keeper is old and I don't want to get a new one because my period is very irregular and light. I LOVE the softcup!

I was quite overweight and lost a HUGE amount of weight very fast. VERY FAST. I had gained a lot of weight very fast too, actually, but that was before these people knew me. They knew me as fat. Then I had a colonscopy and for reasons that are unexplained to this day, I lost about 70 lbs in a month.

How nice that you waited until college! That's probably why it was great and not embarrassing.

Sounds like you are a human person, to me. Who says, "When my ego gets bruised, I like to smile and spread sunshine and unicorns and sparkly sparkles"? Um — nobody.
