Um...you've never met my mother. Her housekeeper once took me aside and asked me in a hushed voice, "Why does your mother hire me? I have nothing to do. I come here three times a week and she pays me for...nothing." And she lifted up the dust ruffle and pointed under the bed. No dust. Nothing. I patted her on…

I don't know if I am a rape survivor. I am a survivor. And that film made me cry. That's it.

I am not telling you that the description doesn't fit his personality. I never said that. Where did you get that? Quote me.

Is there ANYTHING that doesn't piss you off? Man, people are just trying to be nice. They are trying to offer what help/comfort they can. And you are so egotistical you are judging them for taking the time to show you a little attention and caring.

It's called being a mandated reporter. No one can have a teaching license without being a mandated reporter. And if you are a mandated reporter — you report if you even suspect child abuse or neglect (and you obviously report if someone TELLS you). If you don't — goodbye license. And worse. The thing is — private…

Whitening? As in teeth? Is there any other way to use the word? My mother is always after me to bleach my teeth and I have to admit...they aren't exactly white. She says, "Nimuexxx, whitening doesn't hurt! You'll look so good! Just do it!" Anyway, I have never heard the word used in any other way. Is that…

I haven't read 50 Shades of Gray. I tried, but it was so badly written that it was embarrassing. However, did I just read correctly that JENNIFER EHLE is in this? Jennifer Ehle? Elizabeth Bennet? From the best book in the history of time to the worst. Oh, this is really sad.

What a great simile — about the cartoon and the ham, I mean! You expressed it perfectly! And I, too, have found my people!

That's why I have always called it monkey-ing. I didn't make that up — I got that from someone else who was observing me and said that I liked "to monkey" and that all good relationships had people who "monkeyed."

I no longer feel alone!

I was reading this and thinking, "I so TOTALLY understand this person!" and then I saw your nym and was like, "Aaaaaah — she's perfect."

I dated a guy with mild psoriasis and he let me monkey him. It was only inevitable that I fell in love. I think I still love him...I am happily married, but sadly, my husband has good skin. Oh, Mr. Mild Psoriasis Man...how I miss you. Funny/sad thing — my husband would be jealous if he read this. Honey, if you…

You clearly have the best relationship possible. I envy you. I am not kidding!

You poor thing! I hope one day you get to monkey that whatever-it-is to your heart's content!

I always heard it called "monkey-ing" and I love to monkey. That blackhead never would have happened to anyone I was living with. I would have had it out years ago.

Have you ever read descriptions of different astrological signs? You're reading your and you're like, "Wow! That fits!" The thing is, you realize after reading ALL of them is that they ALL fit. "Sometimes you need your space, but you also like to be in charge — true of all Leos!" It's true of everyone!

I am an American and do not know from meters. I know Tilda Swinton is a better actor because she is one the best actors ever. However, I also know that Lucy Lawless is a fine actor AND, well, Jadis is supposed to be beautiful. And Lucy Lawless's eyes, those icy eyes...I just saw her in the role when I heard they…

She was fantastic, but...well...I always thought it would be cool to see Lucy Lawless in that role. LL is very tall, as Jadis is supposed to be — and those EYES! And that icy voice she can do when she wants? Tilda Swinton is a better actor than, well, anyone and she did a fantastic job, but I do believe that Lucy…

Yeah. That got crossed in the mail, somehow. I saw your original post and responded — the I saw your edit. Kudos on the apology — I REALLY admire people who apologize!

I gave different examples. The one with the most clear answer is the 9 year old boy and the 18 year old girl. Although that boy (now a man in his 40s) didn't feel raped than and doesn't now, he knows the girl was sick and wrong NOW. He just — it doesn't bother him. The 11 year old boy and the 13 year old girl —…
