What genius did this? Who is she? I think I am in love! This is WONDERFUL!

Good father. Obviously, the bully does not have good parents, but I am glad the victim's father is helping her.

She'd lose her job in NYC. The superintendent should be shot along with this teacher. Since that isn't legal, I would settle for both of them losing their licenses and jobs. What the HELL is wrong with people? These are educators. There is no way this is right and no way to make it right. It is wrong — why…

I am stunned that this woman has not been fired. She violated NYC Chancellor's Regs — I think they can beat kids in Ohio. Barb Williams needs to be fired. She needs to lose her license. Honestly, she needs to be fucking shot — but, barring that, if she has kids of her own, they need to be taken from her and she…

A lock of Rapunzel's hair! I shall treasure it forever in a locket!

Your aunt had a tv in her fridge? Her fridge? Did you mean kitchen? Confused.

I was also stunned to see that written of as a prank. It's assault. You think we've made progress — and then the Post calls that a prank. What, did the Post journalist who reported the "prank" smack the ass of the secretary on his way out the door and laugh at that, too? FUCK YOU, New York Post. As for the…

"Invent cold fusion and resurrect my cat"? I think you are the most creative person in the world and I love you. That was FUCKING AWESOME!

I tried to run my department this way when I became an assistant principal (AP). After all, that was how my AP ran the department I came from. If a person needed to leave early, you asked a friend to cover your class. You would pay them back later with a favor, covering a class for them. You told the AP and you…

Thank you! I am glad you told me you liked what I said. It was REALLY important to me to say it. The original post really bothered me. I tried to be nice and polite about it, but the post was dishonest about my beloved Anne books. Or perhaps it was just totally ignorant about the era, etc. I had to say what I…

Don't apologize for crying because something I wrote moved you emotionally — that is the highest compliment a person can get! Thank you! Listen, it's just practice. Oh — and watch Dr. Jean Kilbourne's Killing Us Softly series. You can see parts on YouTube. It's all about putting stuff into perspective.

Thank you for saying that! I am so glad my post put into words something you felt, but couldn't quite express. I really appreciate it when people do that for me so I am glad I could do it for you.

I LOVE that Robin Wright isn't going to get work done. That is just so wonderful! It doesn't make you look younger, either. I mean — it doesn't work! It looks awful! Why bother? I really respect her for this.

Over 30? Youngster. I am looking at 50 in a few years and I don't care. My grandma married FOUR times — the last in her 70s — and all to wealthy men. Don't you worry. Your Gilbert/Han will come when it is time for him to.

Why, thank you! I would love to be your bosom friend! We must pretend there is a river and join hands and swear — and don't worry. There are two kinds of swearing and this kind is not dreadfully wicked!

You, too! Han Solo was my first crush ever! He is STILL my love. I have NEVER loved a man the way I love Harrison Ford. Ever. Those two words...Han Solo...his first two words in Star Wars...and my heart was gone!

You are right — it is 3 chapters, not 1. Three chapters out of FORTY ONE chapters! And I am the one being needlessly nitpicky? No. Your comments gave a very false impression. Your comments made it see that three chapters that cover about three hours in a book that covers years define the book and the characters. …

Gilbert is ideal, amazing. He lets Anne be Anne — loves her exactly as she is. He is not intimidated by her brains. He is a perfect gentleman. He literally and figuratively saves her life — and is the kind of man who helps out around the house, too. He's great.

You know what? I think a lot of people do NOT interpret Anne's language as some secret sign of queerness. Many people are disagreeing with this theory (and I am one of them). As I said, I have no problem with queer readings, but it does not fit here at all. So don't be dismayed — I think most people agree with…

You mean odd? Unusual? Yes. A lesbian? No.
