And because you ended it with “Ben and Jerry”, all I can think about is ice cream.

First she only pushes him off, and then it’s exactly one whack per approach, increasing in whack-force as he becomes more threatening.

Listen, you don’t need to talk to me like that. It’s not necessary. I’m on my phone writing this - like a typo is really something you need to harp on right- jeeze. I’m not swearing at anyone here, certainly not for dishing it out some pretty tough adviccccccce. If you don’t have anything productive to say then save…

I know you’re right. But I’ve just been working so hard for years and I’m tired and just want to have fun for a little bit. I’m leaving soon, it’ll end naturally, so I just thought there could be a way to do it and be ok. I’ll think about it some more. Thanks for your thoughts, yours is like one of the only posts…

There are so many unattached men out there who would happily do that with you. This one has a lot of baggage that will inevitably become yours - if it hasn’t already (look back at what you’ve written and think about how much energy you’re spending on making sure that his situation is under control).

Aw. It was 1999, and I was madly in love with Ewan McGregor. I named my three boys after characters from his movie Velvet Goldmine—Curt, Brian, and Arthur.

It sounds like, to me, that these people deliberately pushed drinks on you to make you more suggestible and less able to take care of yourself. And maybe it was kind of a pain for the bartender to help you, but some amount of dealing with incapacitated drunk people just comes with the job, so I doubt helping you was…

No, no a single uncurated top ten list with no data backing it up is definitive proof!

“Higher than in the general population” DOES NOT mean “all cops are sociopaths” or even “most cops are sociopaths.” I know many cops personally and they are kind, generous people who care deeply about the people that they serve. Each of them would be deeply affected by dealing with a case like this.

For very personal reasons, I have a lot of respect and compassion for cops (the good ones anyway) and this story in particular really struck a chord. Like you said, this will have an impact on the people involved with this case on every level. So tragic.

I know people love to hate on cops, and for some legitimate reasons, but it’s cases like this that are a reminder of the horrors they have to deal with sometimes. I can’t even imagine what the responding officer(s) in this case must have felt as they came upon this scene. I would be haunted for life.

Sadly it’s not even close for me. I once did a postpartum home visit to find that the infant had died several days before but the mother was still bathing and dressing the little body and frantic because “She just won’t eat.” I suspect this will turn out to be something similar. Grief can do some powerfully tragic…

This isn't that uncommon actually. Losing a child is a unique loss that isn't comparable to anything else. Nobody knows how they would react after they lost their child. Lots of women go into shock and don't hand over their child's body right away when something happens to them. I just hope she's getting help and has…

That is a beautiful story. I’m so glad she was there for you when you needed someone.

This is dating myself but... when I was 10 years old my mother moved us from Philly to Westwood Ca. (a whole ‘nother story but it was actually a case of custodial interference.) Our neighbor in in the Melrose place looking complex was Barbara Barry. She played Gavin Mcleod’s wife on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”. She…

My child—age 18 months-ish—accosted Justin Hartley (Green Arrow/Oliver Queen from Smallville at that time of this story) in the host hotel lobby at SDCC. He was awesome.

I’m early for an early flight out of Atlanta. I ask the baggage handler at the curb to tell me something I wouldn’t know about his job. He’s not busy, no one else there, two of us having a smoke.

Wait, so..... if it wasn’t contrived, why is the baby naked? Because I never nursed my babies without putting diapers on them. That stuff tends to go right through them. Also, I tended to put clothes on them when we were out in public. Pretty sure Aussies put clothes on their babbies, too.

Excellent way to further sexualize breasts. Hey, they’re not just for babies OR for big boys, we can all share them! Sorry to be a grump, I just have a hard time seeing this as a good thing. How about we just allow breatfeeding to be what it is: unremarkable. And I mean that in the most positive way, in that…

“This wasn’t a contrived situation: Zion needed a feed, Nicole gave it to him, and when we saw how beautiful they looked we simply moved her onto the set,”
