Same thing happened to me with a Perkins loan. I consolidated my loans through the Dept. of Ed. When I did the consolidation app, it was supposed to pull all of my loans in and consolidate them into one. For some reason, the Perkins loan never showed up. The sheriff came to my house one day to serve me with lawsuit…

Shoving your naked ass and testicles in someone’s face, when that person has not consented to such behavior, is not a prank, much like “hazing” people by shoving things up their asses is not a prank.

Oh man, that’s crazy. I don’t want to ruin the book for anyone, but there are a few pages on Cruise/Katie Holmes. Apparently, the church made Leah Remini apologize to both of them for “ruining” their wedding (she inquired as to the whereabouts of David Miscavige’s wife). She wrote a letter to Katie, and Katie texted…

Best of luck to you. I hope that, if/when the time comes, you come through the transplant with flying colors.

If you have not read Leah Remini’s book, do so immediately. One of the reasons she left Scientology is because she felt Tom Cruise was a de facto executive of the church, and he was not held to the policies/rules like everyone else. She also said he has his two kids with Nicole totally brainwashed. They call her a…

Yes, I bet you will feel a lot better, even though being on dialysis isn’t ideal. Are you on fluid and/or protein restriction? I am back to about 32 percent of my function, but I’ve had CKD since I was 3 years old, so I was only at about 40 percent function before the acute failure. They told my parents that I’d need…

She looks great, but I really liked some of the dresses she wore in her older stand-up specials.

I need that sheet music dress immediately. It will go great with my treble clef cocoa mug and my sheet music notepads.

Ugh, I’m sorry you’re going through that. I have chronic kidney disease, and I went into acute kidney failure after having a cardiac procedure that used contrast dye. I only got down to 20 percent function, and I felt like I was moored in quicksand (no energy, slow movement, blood pressure so low that I always felt…

Plus, not everyone has the luxury of choosing between a PPO and an HSA. My husband’s former employer switched plans two years ago. Previously, our deductible was $1,500 per year with a $3,000 out-of-pocket max. Once the ACA went into effect, they got rid of the low-deductible plans and replaced them with a combo of…

Thanks! There have been a few times I wanted to do Subscribe & Save, but without the Prime shipping, I would have had to wait too long to get the items (I needed the items within the next five or six days, and they were telling me my next Subscribe & Save shipment would be three weeks later).

If these people didn’t make/enforce the laws that control our lives, this whole thing would be funny. The fighting, the blustering, the grandstanding. But it’s not funny at all; it’s pathetic, sad, and somewhat scary.

Yes, very interesting. There was a lot about how she felt something was off, but she always ended up thinking, “Well, maybe I’m a bad person.” My favorite part was about how she “ruined” Tom Cruise’s wedding and had to pay $300,000 for counseling/reprogramming.

I just finished Leah Remini’s book about getting out of Scientology, and it was really good. I always wondered why she stayed in the church so long, and the book does a good job of explaining how you start to question yourself. She spent much of her life (and millions of dollars) involved in the church, so to leave…

The whole thing is disgusting, but what jumped out at me was the text in one of Manning’s court filings. He said something about how she was vulgar and had big breasts. Well, stop the fucking presses. If a woman has big breasts, there’s no way she isn’t a piece of trash, am I right?

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I am glad that your husband helped you, though.

I had no idea he’d even been accused. I just read the linked article, and I am just sick over it.

Or, have a medical crisis four months after you get married. One that makes you so exhausted that you can’t even reach your own ass. If your husband wipes your butt for you, he’s a keeper.

It boggles the mind. However, it proves that there is hope for people who were raised a certain way. I voted for Bush in 2000 (sorry, guys) and attended a Dick Cheney event the same year, but I am now a raging liberal (pro-choice, pro-universal healthcare, pro-free education, etc.). It drives my family crazy. I didn’t…

My parents make a combined $42,000 per year, and they are both staunch Republicans. Actually, they are Tea Partiers. I tried to tell them they are voting against their own interests, but they don’t listen.
