I always interpreted that dad being crazy ending as being all in his head. Since he never gets any real proof--that was all a dream, right? I assumed that he got the idea from Colin, but it was just another symptom of his psychotic break.

I was prescribed about 20 Vicodin when I got mine out. And wasn’t told anything about what the drug was/side effects. My mom never let me fill the prescription (I was also pretty out of it when I was released)...very grateful for that. Subsisting on OTC pain meds for that week was rough but in the long term I’m glad I…

Is there an evil little kid named Stuart who I missed? I know Reagan, Damien, and Joshua, but no Stuart...

God, can “This is why Trump won” please just die? There’s no one more insufferable than the oversensitive white people who think criticizing offensive behavior = going too far.
