Me too. I always find it amazing and inspiring in, how trauma affects different people differently, some people prove so resilient. Not that anyone can be sure what transpired in her family before the kidnapping but you would think that Michelle, the survivor with the seemingly least supportive and stable family…

That gif is my absolute favorite thing!!

That makes me so sad! Do NOT let it get to you. I feel like these articles tend to attract commenters who either A) get on their high horse to feel superior to others (concern-trolling, how dare you show someone considered "overweight," you don't care about America!) or B) take everything SO PERSONALLY that of course…

It's totally possible but it's hard to believe that LW totally omitted that extremely enlightening detail. Some people have abandonment issues that resurface in totally awkward and…

Great article, Lindy!
You know what is truly strange also? On formal, stuffy invitations, seeing it addressed to "Mr. and Mrs. Husband's Firstname space Lastname." It's like...record scratch. What? I can't have my first name because this is an important event?

Squee! I went to high school with her (Hi Fran!) and she is hilarious. Yes, she does amazing and creative hairstyles too. I always love seeing her stuff on the interwebs.

Yeah I had similar hopes. But nope.
