Thanks for your reply! Happily married now (thank god, since once I did start dating, i had plenty of messiness—hey just like "normal" people!) with a baby and another on the way! You can take partial credit for it. ;-)

Hi Jennifer! On a sappy note, Good In Bed was the first time I ever even considered that a fat woman like me could get a boyfriend. Like, I was perplexed by the notion that Cannie had an ex-boyfriend, because that meant she'd had a boyfriend. I was 21 and had never had one. Seriously, that book changed my whole…

I was under the impression that she was actually in jail for fraud, and that Christopher was just a character witness for the prosecution or something. Since mail fraud = federal, but stalking usually does not. Unless she was in for the explosive under his car (yikes).

Maybe they thought it would be fun? Both are old/rich/famous enough to no longer give a fuck, so if they liked the script and thought it'd be a hoot, then why not?

I'd be more excited if "sadness" wasn't represented by a frumpy fat lady. Womp woooomp. But overall, I am in! At least Pixar is continuing its effort to acknowledge girls exist!

I loooved Rosa's story, but I was annoyed by how their accents totally didn't match. Young Rosa was clearly Latina/Hispanic, Old Rosa sounded like she was from Eastern Europe. The first half of her background episode I didn't even realize who the young woman was supposed to be! However, I can forgive it all based on…

I'm not sure how serious the cancer sister's illness was in the book, but in the movie they made it really clear that she was probably not going to survive even with the kidney transplant—she was fighting for her right to die. That's realistic. The younger sister dying and the kidney transplant cancer sister didn't…

I never read MSK the book, but I saw a blog or something complaining about how dramatically they changed the ending from the book. So of course I looked up the plot on Wikipedia, and holy shit. The original plot was about a thousand times more depressing—they made the right move with that movie!

Thumbs up to your unwavering commitment to hating this movie. I gagged every time I saw the ubiquitous trailers the last couple weeks. Hard pass. And I am a person who sobbed hysterically at the end of My Sister's Keeper, which was manipulative dreck from start to finish.

While I was quite the prolific drinker in college, I never smoked weed. So one night my friend handed me the bowl at a party and I was like "what the heck, why not?"

It stresses me out, because obviously my husband really loves his dad. And I'm not going to say he's without his charms—he's always been really nice to me, and he's super cute with our baby. But goddamn, he's just a huge tea party Fox News Rush Limbaugh crazy racist who will go from zero to n-word in about .005…

I went with "short and a nice tempo" for my dad dance too! The Beatles, In My Life. My dad actually picked it, I gave him three options and he said it was the most meaningful, aww. (My Girl was among the options too! Gotta love a short song. I chose my first dance song based on shortness too, I hated being center of…

Also the whole "rims" thing. V. Stiviano's big thing caught on tape was complaining that black people waste all their money on spinning rims. You know she got that from Chris Rock. He's a funny guy, but you're totally right—it's like he somehow backed up every racist thing dickheads have ever thought. It makes me…

The first thing I thought is they are doing a True Life: I'm Racist. They would have plenty of volunteers, sadly.

I wish I could say I'm shocked. The "blacks vs n****rs" thing is basically verbatim a lecture I once got from my father in law when I had the temerity to ask him if he could maybe stop using racial slurs at the dinner table when I am visiting. "It's not like I'm a bigot!" he exclaimed, as he went on to tell me all…

It's an interesting point. I suppose I could argue that grocery stores DO have dress codes ("No shoes, no shirt, no service"), but I know that would be silly and not really what you're arguing. I guess it boils down to the fact that I don't conflate a classroom environment with just hanging out, or going to the store…

Well, it seems like this is a professional/vocational school where much of the learning might be taking place in a professional environment (nursing schools spend a lot of time dealing with patients in a medical setting), not an undergraduate college.

I am a bit of a prude when it comes to clothing/dress codes, I admit it. I clutch my pearls on the daily at how SHORT shorts are now, and how my 14 year old cousin wore a skintight lycra dress to my grandparents' funeral that barely covered her ass.

If I were a celebrity, I would get a GoPro and attach it to myself every time I left the house to video the paps. I would post a video every single day so people could understand what it's like, and the terrible things they say sometimes to try and bait people into lashing out or acting crazy. I don't know why more…

What is that all about? I am 1000000% pro-vaccine, so don't get me wrong—but so many anti-vaxxers who have autistic kids have the same story. That they noticed changes in their kids right after the vaccine. Is it just that symptoms start to show at the same age vaccines are administered and it's all just a…
