@MissBuckyC: Go to bed with Netflix and a big hot toddy and e-mail your friend to tell him/her you feel like crap.

@Sed_Quis_Custodiet...: What kind of awful? Narcissist awful, sociopath awful, racist-sexist-homophobic awful, religious-fanatic awful? Or a combination thereof?

"...a beloved, charismatic president"...really? I'm not American, but I thought Clinton was still considered a bit of a sleazebag? Were the "W" years so horrific that the scandal-ridden Clinton era is now perceived in a rosier light?

@Love Monkey: ...except that she would have to travel to visit him "every few weeks" on his extended ski vacation.

What exactly is the condition that caused the bleeding? How would an alcohol binge cause rectal bleeding? Also, what cream would the doctor give him to stop rectal bleeding? The pain appeared to be rather high up (when the doctor was poking around), so I could understand a suppository, but a cream?

@sarasasa: I think she looks nice.

@Devonna: Sweet Jesus! What the hell is that kid doing to the girls in his class?

I don't mind kids, and I have no problem talking to them. Here is my issue: I have a couple of friends who bring their kids to everything, even when they are not invited (because it's an adult party or a dinner party). I had one friend bring her twelve-year-old to my place for a small dinner party. I told her…

@TopLevelExecutive: Sorry—I don't get the Halle Berry comment: what does this mean: "as opposed to plain ol' Negroes"?

@rocketgeek: Buuuut in that classic scenario isn't the wealthy man very much older and very much less attractive?

@Rroseselavy: I don't think that came up, but she was good friends with the agent, who was clearly anti-Nazi.

I can't help wondering what's in it for him. He asked her to marry him after they'd spent only a few days together (in person). What particular need does she fulfill for him?

@BrtStlnd: Mary Wollstonecraft said that marriage itself is little more than legal prostitution. Now, she was writing over two hundred years ago, but ideas about marriage have changed only in the past few decades and not in every culture.

@mbprice: ExACTLY. Why would a man (rich or poor) want a woman like this?

@jp3582: I don't mean to be nosy, but why would she cut you out of her insurance plan? What was she trying to prove?

@BeckySharper: ...or Ondine from "Custom of the Country"!

What's with all the advice in the comments? What in the post suggested people should post advice?

@Rroseselavy: The Little Dutch Boy...snortHARsnortHAR.

@SeriesofTubes: Y'know...I love the sex, but I hate work, so it's a tough one. Do you think you'd still get the thousand bucks if you jerked each other off?

@LucyFlawless: When I was child, hell was other children, so this didn't seem an issue. You're right though! She was a baroness!
