Definitely feeling the rage on this one too. My dad’s uncle had polio as a child and had to relearn how to walk all over again, and a cousin on my maternal grandfather’s side died from it when she was 8. Parents who think these are acceptable risks compared to the autism bogeyman are assholes.

I refuse to believe the Loch Ness monster is just big po’boy meat. Nope nope nope nope nope.

Yes, because minors are under the guardianship of their parents/designated guardian until they are 18 years old, meaning that any decisions regarding disposition will ultimately be left to the discretion of whoever is the legally designated guardian.

Definitely. The branding is so much more discreet for the leather bags. My hobo has the brand stamped in small silver letters on the front and the hangtag, but nothing more obvious than that.

What I remember is how she got the entire line for Christmas or her birthday or something. Every member of the family gave her a different piece and she was so thrilled, even though they were all tacky as shit.

I’m gonna just c/p what I posted over in the post with the witness video, since I’d clicked through to watch and forgot I wasn’t in the current post, but I do know the area this happened in and I don’t believe their version AT ALL. The DA needs to shut up and stop giving the police excuses.

The Coach leather bags are great but I will never, ever buy one of those logo-covered canvas ones. Haaaaaaaaate. I do own a beautiful robin’s egg blue Coach hobo that’s my go-to bag of choice and I really, really love it.

This is so much bullshit, and I’m fucking PISSED OFF that our governor is wasting time investigating Planned Parenthood over a badly edited propaganda video when THIS is some real actual fuckery that is going on in this state.

No idea, actually! I just know the debris field area (my dad’s from the next county over) and guessed based on what college was closest.

SFA?

I had to google this lady because I never heard of her before. You’d think a native New Orleanian like she claims to be would be a little better at this... whatever this is. But it also says she’s spent her whole life in the French Quarter which probably doesn’t really lend one to living in reality most of the time…

One of my cousins posted it today on Facebook and was all upset about it. I’m probably going to cause some kind of family drama by saying so but I commented that it sounded like an awkward edit of a convo where they were discussing procedural billing (I work with med bills ALL DAY LONG so I hear a lot of this kinda…

This actually doesn’t sound *that* bad, morally speaking... I mean, it would be like Scientology, if Scientology were actually civic-minded and useful instead of a bullshit cash machine.

Well... I mean... he kinda kickstarted his career singing on public transit so why not go with what works, I guess?

She never said she saw that. She said she saw them staring at her. Kari Krome, another witness/Fowley victim, was the one who said she saw them snickering together off to the side of the room. They may have been, for all we know, but it could have been your typical drunk/high giggle fit and had absolutely nothing to…

She doesn’t blame them in the article though. At the end of it there’s this quote from her: “One of the things I’ve tried to do with every bystander is let them know it’s not their fault,” she says. “I also have to not blame myself for what happened to them. We are all victims of what Kim did.”

This is pretty much what I was thinking. As weird as it sounds, everyone could be telling the truth here, it’s just everyone has their own different interpretation of what that truth is. Since it happened to Jackie, it’s likely her memory of it is more vivid because it affected her more. If Joan and Cherie were there,…

I would love to see Katheryn on one of these panels. She’s amazing.

Ouch. I feel ya on the alcohol hoarding, in college I started keeping my whiskey and rum in my closet because my not-yet-21 brother would steal them and take them to parties.
