If Chic Lit is your thing, read it and read it proud. At least you are reading versus most of the population that don’t even pick up books. Write it and write it proud. Jennifer is basically the one shaming it. She is a hypocrite about it because she does produce it. Its like she has self-writing hate.

Jesus fucking christ that’s terrible.

Right? I feel like this is the kind of shit you save for your 14 year-old alter ego ‘Margaret’ in her confessionals to God, Judy Blume...

Has she considered a large basket and a pulley system? If you can do these things with a dog, anything is possible.

I’m pretty sure two of the cats who belong to are taken care of by my wife and I are capable of world domination plots. They always look like they’re thinking and/or judging.

I’m so sorry for your loss, QuanYin. New York does hold much of the focus today, but you and Dr. Paul Ambrose will be at the forefront of my mind today. I will be sure to say his name in my prayer group tonight. Sending you thoughts and love today.

God bless you Quan. My heart goes out for your loss and for the senseless murder of an innocent man. I pray your heart is strong and forgiving.

I would like to take a moment to pay tribute to my father, Marine Corp Colonel Samuel Tillett for his courageous and near fatal actions, attempting to save as many lives as possible 15 years ago today in his position as head of security at The Pentagon. When the plane hit my father was not but a hundred feet from the…

Same. Joke’s gonna be on them when I cut off a big portion of them one of these days.

Totally agree. I mentioned in another thread that I literally was slut-shamed by a very busy and opinionated nurse practitioner when I went to a university health clinic about a potential STD . I would not have trusted her with such an important matter, no way, no how.

This is a reasonable and smart take. Student Health Clinics don’t do much beyond provide prescriptions and diagnose normal medical issues. We had a friend break his leg (compound fracture) near our student health center and they just kept him calm until an ambulance took him to the real hospital on the other side of…

This x 1,000.

I know! She wasn’t wearing her jeans! Honestly, she is way too smart to go up against Trump, she really shines when she goes up against other smart people, because even then she is just leagues above them. He wouldn’t have any idea what she was talking about. He could barely keep up with Lauer, and that guy isn’t…

Ditto!

The trauma of the rape itself also interferes with memory and higher thinking processes in the brain—making the event itself difficult to recall and memories of it patchy and hard to sequence. This doesn’t mean the survivor is lying; it means the cocktail of hormones their brain released (which helped them to survive…

You go, guys! I am also in MA, and the yard is buzzing and hopping. The neighbors look askance at all of the wildflowers and clover and underplanting, but in my mind, I am thinking, “This is the tiniest violin in the world, and it’s playing in sympathy for you and your antiquated sense of aesthetics in the face of a…

I understand completely. Most of my friends who have been subjected to my mother at one point or another, or have seen how she treated me say they hate her as well. The majority of the people who know and love me are also righteously angry on my behalf, so you’re in good company :)

Of course you know you are entitled to every feeling you have about her including love and attachment. This makes you a healthy human with a lack of pathology, ability to feel “normal” emotions. It also means that you attach in a healthy way. I hope you know I was simply being righteously angry on your behalf. Not…

You’re in good company. Although my feelings about her are more complex than simple hatred, it is no coincidence that neither I nor my brothers have any contact with her. I used to feel sad for her, because she has 9 grandchildren (ages 8 months through 20 years) between the 3 of us, and she’s only met some of them a…

I hate your mother.
