Maybe...or would we be saying " where is her self respect? why is she accepting this? why would she stay with a guy like that?"

I heart you.

What a sweet, tolerant doggy.

Interspecies care FTW!

Patient dog is patient.

It's just not for me. I'm a vegetarian, so they have very little for me anyway. But if I weren't, I still don't know. I'm sure everything is done beautifully, it's that it all seems so terribly precious. And WTF with no egg dishes except one frittata for brunch?

Heh. Well, he isn't teaching English! But that was a cute response.

Per say? Is that like hearsay?

Can I be team "Kelly's haircut looks stupid on her but you're still a classist, boring ass"?

Chicago is in Middle America and Kelly's very normal, on-trend, and cute here.

My daughter works at a very big corporation whose name you would recognize. She is high on the corporation. There are vp's with tats and very interesting hair choices. I've seen the pictures. No, it's not banking, but it's a multi billion dollar corporation with very highly educated, highly paid people running it.…

False, it's adorable.

It's pretty standard the way seeing women dressed in J.Crew separates or men wearing Converse sneakers is standard. I guess living in a city like NYC lots and lots and lots of different things are "standard"—-I don't bat an eyelash when I see folks with blue hair, or septum piercings, or undercuts, or Ann Taylor…

I have noticed lately that a lot of content is repeated over the weekend...

Preventing abandonment is a laudable goal but it shouldn't stand in the way of helping ensure that babies that are abandoned…

...baby boxes and hatches make abandoning a newborn too easy and fail to address the reasons that parents choose to abandon a baby (poverty, medical problems, isolation, etc.)

My upbringing wasn't as difficult as yours, but probably not that much closer to Gwyneth's, either. I think she's just starting to realize how out of touch she is, and is making an honest, if awkward, attempt to get some perspective. I think I'd like her just fine if we met somehow. Which we won't, unless she's…

She's so far removed from the world I grew up in that she's almost an alien. Going hungry, seeing my Mom go without so that I could have seconds (and, sometimes, firsts), eating so many fucking eggs and potatoes, duct taping my glasses together because some idiot in school hit me in the face with a basketball and we…

Sorry but Gwyneth is super pretty and I wish I looked exactly like her. I can't hate her no matter how much some people try to say I should.
