There's some later episodes of Teen Mom where the father's family — especially his sister, who is also a teen mother — tried to establish a relationship with Sophia.

I know that it's easy to hate on Farrah because she seems as dumb as a box of bricks, but anyone who saw her episode of 16 and Pregnant, in which her mother hits her on camera and then later flat out lies that she did so after literally being shown the footage in which she hits her daughter, knows that Farrah grew up…

The shot of The Gov's head was to establish that he had been shot through the brain and wouldn't be 'coming back'.

There is a strong tradition in American fiction of portraying New England as weird, forboading, and creepy, actually. Most of King's horror novels taken place there. Plus there's Lovecraft and everyone who follows in those two writers' vein.

I'm not going to pretend that Marvel is doing some huge favor for women across the Middle East like some of you seem to be doing.

I live in Pakistan and I disagree with you about how hard to find comic books are. I do agree that the majority of the ones I've seen tend to be in English language bookstores - of which there are many more than. "5" - but even the local stationary store sells sells non-US comics. I doubt I'd be able to pick up the…

You didn't. I just like to make sure people are aware that trollpatrol doesn't function any longer.

I'd say book deal versus blog post.

There are no mainpage mods anymore. We're not being lazy. We're just not used.

Definitely watch it again. It's one of my favorites and holds up to repeated viewings.

Hey if they ever dump that book in their sale pile, I will totally pay you for a copy of it.

I agree with some of the other commenters that the McMartin case — and the other preschool abuse cases — fall under the Michelle Remembers heading.

I don't believe that the girl was supposed to be the victim of a satanic cult, but someone with MPD.

Oh, hey, Kinja's letting me input text now. This is the book, right? I've been collecting satanic panic literature for a couple of years now for this book idea I've got banging around in my head and I want to get a copy of this:

I thought that the big scandal about the house was that the network bought it for them.

For most insurance companies, it's actually a BMI of certain amount + 2 comorbities, or a BMI of (something higher than that). So that might be 100 pounds for someone, or less or more, depending.

You're welcome to email me at commenters@jezebel.com if you have questions. If its something you a seriously thinking about pursuing, the forums at ObesityHelp.org were invaluable to me when I started to consider the surgery.

I'm not going to encourage you to pursue it, since I think anything as dramatic as surgery is an incredibly personal decision, but as someone who just went through the whole WLS thing, most insurance companies don't require co-morbities. Their criteria is usually BMI of (X) + 2 comorbities or BMI of (XX).

I had the sleeve too. I don't know who those people are who think they're going to be 'Kate Moss skinny', but that certainly wasn't a promise in my program. My surgeons were very upfront about the risks, side effects, and potential complications, and the fact that I wouldn't necessarily become a 2% body fat waif. In…

It's Asgard in the book series as well.
