Unfortunately I think it happens all the time in the entertainment industry. Corey Feldman has spoken out about the regular predatory behavior against minors. And, have you read anything about Lou Pearlman and N'Sync? Because that's fairly recent. Makes me so sad and makes me want to hold my children so close.

Seriously!!!! I call from my car because, other than driving of course, it is the ONLY time I can actually focus on our friendship and our conversation. It doesn't mean I don't think about you any other time or want to talk any other time. I'm carving out the only time I have. You just know this is the same friend…

I get that. But I would hope she would speak out now...maybe she’s too embarrassed and ashamed at her own behavior, even though it wasn't her fault.

I think there are probably a number of variables. I kind of wonder if, the more we sit in chairs all day so that our core muscles weaken and we take more strain on the back we are seeing more of an uptick in back pain?? That aside, though, I think we also live in an age where more people are willing to go to the…

Okay - that makes more sense. She may very well not have had air conditioning at home; or an insufficient system - it’s been pretty consistently in the upper 90’s. And, she was in Oroville, pretty much the only place she would have had enough space to walk around and get out of the heat other than a casino would be…

Damn!

Mmm...Om was my favorite of the Gap scents. You're making me miss it!

I LOVE Youth Dew. I think it does remind me some of my Nana. I used to wear it in middle school a lot because of that. But, then it started not smelling good on me. I’ve always suspected that when my hormones changed in puberty the chemicals in Youth Dew didn’t interact well. To this day I hate the smell it turns into…

yeah, well, you know how these things get reported. It could be that for all intents and purposes, the “hospital” was just the office where the dr performed surgery and she visited Miley just before or after the surgery, so that there would not have been an overnight stay.

Can I actually choose? Because I think Gloria would be badass to commit a crime with. She would have your back, keep quiet about it, and just do what needed to be done and get out.

I don't actually understand all the backlash from your comment. I agree. Well, I agree until or unless the children are their own adults or are not under my own guardianship or parentage. But, damn straight, I am going to have my children's passwords. They also cannot turn down a friend request from me on social…

Seriously! What is with Jez and sloppiness lately? Later on the word "just" is spelled "juts," and two days ago the "S" was left out of "Pennsatucky" in a section header for Pete's sake! I mean, I realize this is a blog, but I expect it to have better editing than my sister's ex-roommate's tumblr page!

And Aeropostale please.

I still have the needlepoint my best friend game in college 10 years ago. It's sitting above a antique desk in my dining room. :)

Agreed. I was lucky enough to only get out with one smallish private loan. And when private companies were hounding me to reconsolidate my much larger federal loans, I said, "Hell no." I always figured it would be easier to deal with the government with this than some corporation that would send me to bill…

Are you serious? To look rich? There are probably some, sure. But, really, think of everything a mobile phone can do. It can be a camera to store photos/memories. If you have the internet, it can connect you to the world you may otherwise not have access to. I assume that you otherwise have access to daily world…

Not to mention you don't know what was on that phone. Most people take and store photos/memories on their phone. It may have been more than just the actual phone they were trying to save. You never know.

She brings to the table what she has, just like everyone else. For her, some of what she has happens to be her privilege. And, while in the first season, she did seem to rely on her privilege pretty heavily to get what she wants, in this season she seems to understand what her privilege can do and tries to use it to…

Yeah, that bugged the crap out of me! I kept thinking Rosa was Russian (I know, stereotyping for the whole region, but still....) She didn't hold up as Latina to me. I kept having to figure out if maybe it was because she didn't look that Latin to me. As in, if I only heard Sofia Vergara's voice would I…

I wanted Vee to live too. I was actually surprised they tied that story line up so neatly. I guess there's not a whole lot to do with her character though. She's been shown to be completely morally corrupt and irredeemable. So, any attempt at making her a better person would be seen as a complete reversal of her…
