@mleevans: I would love to meet you sometime. I am also intersexed (androgen insensitivity, complete). I have been shocked and appalled at so much in this quagmire of crazy. I am just going to keep on my game face and hope that they let this talented woman compete.

@kristyid: Wow. I have adoption all over my family and this is not the case with us at all. My aunt was adopted in the thirties. This was acknowledged all of her life, while she never knew her birth mother, she knew that she was every bit a member of the family to the point where she forgot that she was adopted at

@lifestylelogan: Thank you for this. I am liberal as they come, but my parents are conservatives and they are some of the greatest people in this world. Their picture with Sarah Palin makes me cringe, but they are still wonderful people.

Holy Cow! What high school did you go to... Such a St. Louis joke! Hilarious!

@fluxus flucker: We are a tiny bastion of blue in a sea of red here. Even the local paper commented on the calm and cool demeanor that the local high school students maintained in the face of the horrible protest.

Oh my goodness. How do I get my hands on that wonderful list? I travel with my daughters constantly and this mama has never got the hang of hair. I need serious help! #michelleobama

I am positively disgusted by the way that this information came out. I am a woman with a disorder of sex development (androgen insensitivity, complete) and am no athlete by any stretch of the imagination.

An ex of mine still has $700 I gave him to bail his ass out of jail... oh, and my dignity. Bastard.

So, at what age do you think it is okay for a girl to wear a little make-up? Gherkin #1 is 11 and heading for Junior High School next year. Is it okay if she begins to wear a bit this summer? Opinions, please...

Seriously? Sears, Victoria's Secret angel wings and the dress from that Axl Rose November Rain video? That is not a collection, that is a catalog.
