Exaaaaaaactly. I just can’t imagine that any court-appointed therapy would have been able to be conducted by someone within their parents’ circle

Forgiveness does NOT mean absolving someone of all culpability, nor does it mean letting them off the hook for the consequences of their actions. The family should have been investigated by CPS and the girls should have gotten help from therapists who were OUTSIDE of the community. Josh should have gotten help as…

And how exactly have not all the children been removed from that home because of this? How has this not spawned a CPS investigation? I do not understand anything.

No, not really. Suicide is much more complicated than that. To say that someone killed him or her self takes away so many complicating factors and makes all the cause/fault/blame internal. “Died by suicide” makes the locus of control much less internal and allows it to become part of a larger picture which may include…

Great minds....

And doesn’t this guy have daughters? I just.... how have they not been removed?

I’ve never even seen the sitcom, so I guess I don’t have it to use as support either way.

Yeah, I hear ya. I’m kind of there. I didn’t like him for so long, and then I realized a lot of his stuff was really great and even a bit feminist, and now I find out I was right all along? Dammit. I can only flip-flop on this man so many times, world.

I actually think that the lingerie pose is more to emphasize that she really IS a woman. I mean, how would know if we didn’t see her stripped down to her panties? (*eyeroll*) I mean, while she looks beautiful and sexy on that cover, there is more an air of “Look, this is me, you can see my body, you can see that it is…

Oh, it happens. I never did it until I had been married for years and never orgasmed, and basically wondered if it was even possible. It just... never seemed like something I wanted to do. It didn’t feel good to touch myself, so why do it?

I try ;)

Make sure to include the Cranberries, and Lisa Loeb.

OK, she’ll stop, but I can still do it, right?
