I know NOTHING about the Babysitter's Club. Nothing, beyond its name.

Um, you know, if you hadn't posted, I wouldn't have replied. You kind of remind me of my friend's lunatic mother-in-law. She'll have a disagreement with her husband, then it's over and fine. An HOUR later — maybe more — lunatic MIL will BURST in the room, wringing her hands, imploring, "Stop fighting! Stop…

Yep. I am TOTALLY missing it. You see — this is why having a solid background of prior knowledge is so important. I know NOTHING about the Babysitter's Club. Nothing, beyond its name.

Yeah — the link means nothing. I found that to be the most surprising thing of all. Let's say you have NEVER read these books — never even heard of them. Then you see a link at the bottom of the page. You think, "Uh, why is that there? I know better than to click on strange links and there is nothing in this post…

I am not using the word narcissist incorrectly. You're textbook.

You are not dismissing anything further I have to say because you are a narcissist. You are dismissing it (IF you dismiss it — you may reply to this) because you aren't smart enough to counter any of it. That is why you are trying to shut me up.

Thank you! I can say the same to you! :-)

I look at it like this — no one is perfect. People are either "worth it" or "not worth it." Now, I like to keep people in my life. I was raised to see keeping people in my life as a good thing. My father met his group of best friends when he was 5 and still had them 75 years later, along with the many other…

Of course your heart hurts. She hurt you. However, maybe she was truly afraid. Maybe someone in her life with bipolar disorder had hurt her and she didn't want her toddler girls going through that. They might not have — but she just did what she thought a good mother would do. However, she did not act as a good…

Yep, what I expected. The lady doth protest too much. You keep saying you are not a narcissist. That is not what you are showing, however, and I will explain that. Before I do, however, I want to address something that concerns me. Why do you think that "narcissist" is a "big word"? It's not. It's pretty…

So, you are posting about characters and storylines from a series of books only a small percentage of Jezzies have read — yet you seem to expect everyone to be familiar with them. Why? You don't like being called a bitch and that is understandable — but only one person did. You said "many" people did. That's not…

I never read those books, either. You should not apologize. Of the many people who read Jezebel, only a small percentage is the right age to have read those books. I wonder at a person who thinks everyone HAS.

I hope you answered, "Spandex is fabric."

I have never, ever felt shame about my vagina or the way it smelled. Ever. My parents must have done something right, raising me. I feel sorry for the author — her mother made her feel shame over her vagina. I wish she went into a little more detail about that. HOW did that happen? I am glad that was not my…

Funny — I think you sound unhinged! Anyway, I did not call you an asshole and you should not put words like that into my mouth. I see it is very important to you to be right. You might be right about what the poster meant. However, I think you are wrong. I also don't think you are done with this conversation — but…

I know nothing about the person who made the original post. For all I know, it's a fourteen year old who doesn't know the answer. The poster might be someone who came to the US from another country who has heard the quote, but doesn't know who said it. The poster might be someone having a senior moment. The poster…

Bummer about your arrogance, conceit, and bad manners. So — WHAT context clues told you? Really. Tell me.

How do you know it was a rhetorical question? Shit, I have had students who thought Martin Luther King was A SLAVE and I am not kidding. Why are you so arrogant?

This woman confessed. Woody Allen never did. In fact, he passed a lie detector test, one that Mia Farrow refused to take. Aren't people supposed to be innocent until proven guilty in this country? They are. This woman — she confessed. I can deal with calling her guilty. But not Woody Allen. The DA declined to…
