Parents in general can be easy to lie to. Who wants to believe that their children are lying to them? I had my daughter when I was 21. When she was a teenager she lied to me a LOT. I didn't suspect it, not because I was too young/too old/too tired/too indifferent, but because I had zero familiarity with the behaviors…

It kills me when Christians use anything from the old testament to justify anything. The ONLY reason the OT is in the bible at ALL is to let Christians know what they are REJECTING by embracing Christianity. Ugh. Total facepalm.

Not all men are this way. I promise. You don't have to "go back to girls", but you do need to get away from your boyfriend. Please. It's not going to get any better, I promise you. Fly far, far away. And read "Facing Codependency" by Pia Mellody when you get a chance. Really helped me understand why I put up with some…

Thank you! Therapy has been super helpful - I've long known that his behavior is about his fears and shortcomings and not about me. It would be nice to reconnect before he dies, but I'm not losing any sleep. So glad that you had a happier turn of events!

A lot, apparently. It's Lumosity.

My dad was an OK dad. Worked a lot to support the family, so there's that, which meant he wasn't around much, so there's that too. He was the strong silent type who didn't brook a lot of back talk. His truly extraordinary contribution was that he stuck around to nurse my mother through twenty years of diabetes and MS…

THIS. Jesus f@ck christ this. I'm a screenwriter, been doing it (i.e., studying, reading, writing my own material, honing my craft) for more than fifteen years. Every so often I get paid for it. If I had a dime for every idiot enthusiastically pursuing this "plan for success", I'd never have to open my laptop again.

What he actually said was, "I am the Homunculus." But the Times, not being familiar with Latin and all, misheard it.

At first I was like, oh wow, I did not know Narcotics Anonymous had tribes...

UPDATE: A judge has ordered Sebelius to waive the age description until a hearing can be held. Hope this little doll gets some lungs! http://vitals.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/06/…

"treaded"?

Yes to this entire thread.

I'm not sure if that's better lol. Glad they are in the rear view!

Please tell me this is not all in reference to one guy?

I... How does one even fake that?

I had one who would say "You like?" repeatedly throughout a makeout session. A kiss - "You like?" A fondle of the breasts - "You like?" It never went any further because I finally had to say, no, I don't like. That was twenty-five years ago and it still makes me cringe.

Sex drive is also HUGELY affected by hormones. When one or more of your progesterone, testosterone or estrogens levels drops, everything goes whackadoo. And it usually happens around middle age. I wanted sex ALL THE TIME until last year, when it was like WHAMMO - my sex drive hit a brick wall. I finally saw a doc and…

Milla IS gorgeous. But she's also not looking the way she used to which, IMHO, was more gorgeous. Here she looks... plain. Stretched. Some nippage and tuckage has definitely occurred.

Ahhhh ha ha ha ha! Five dollars that says that the producers will completely miss the fact that she's sending up their paternalistic/misogynistic casting call and cast her anyway!

If I were the lawyer assigned to this case, I would just put my head down, keep my mouth shut and do my job. The lawyer is the only one who will be hurt by attempts to humanize the monster that is Ariel Castro.
