Couldn't have said that better - thank you.

I'm genuinely surprised/saddened at some of the responses I'm reading to this piece. My initial reaction was, "yeah, this is a no brainer. She's terrified of this boyfriend and knows that her kids are in jeopardy, but she loves them and needs to support them and has no way to feed their stomachs or keep the heat on…

That's the gist of it, yes. There are far more reps (based on population) than there are senators (2 per state), so it's really just a game of numbers. There are far more morons and rubes in the populace than there are thoughtful, insightful, intelligent and compassionate people, so there you go. [Not to suggest…

Agreed. But more importantly, not one day goes by when one of your pearls of wisdom from "The Gifts of Imperfection" doesn't pop into my head and make me change course. Thanks, BB.

Seriously. This was looking to be the highlight of my day (besides the cutie dancing on the subway platform) and then someone has to ruin EVEN THIS. Everyone is horrible and everything sucks.

Fingers crossed so hard. Ariana and Iggy make my ears bleed.

I'm so relieved to read that your almost 10 y.o. likes Iggy, Ariana and Taylor. I was beginning to think that my parenting skills had somehow fallen off the rails because my 2 boys, ages 13 and 15, listen to what I listen to because I make and load their playlists and they keep asking for more (what a coup). The 15…

That was my thought exactly. No one who has spent any amount of time in the food service industry would advocate for doing most of what's on this list. I loathed the people who actually paid for the tea just because the whole "tea process" was so annoying, so the level of hatred I had (still have) for the type of…

I wish I did. The video is now placed atop the pile of emotional garbage that was my day today. No words for that lovely guy with the beautiful voice, just a heavy(ier) heart.

I just can't with this girl. She's so cute I almost tear up. I decided that I should watch these videos every morning as my personal form of meditation. How could I have a shitty day starting if it starts out watching this beautiful creature just be?

So glad someone said it. I've been thinking that for about a month now (maybe more). I figured if no one else felt this way, I might have to chalk it up to my being remarkably unhip and/or old.

I read that article last week and it's terrifying. It is absolutely a foregone conclusion that the monster will start murdering again once he gets out.

I just came here to post something similar. I've been practicing for 15 years and I've never once seen a judge deny a continuance when the parties agree. It happens All.The.Time. The judge clearly had it out for her and was simply using her to prove some misogynistic, hate-filled point. I'm going to do some due…

Here's what else that's alarming: I didn't know that 9 died so far. I knew that many have contracted it (I don't see how that would be 100% avoidable), but I didn't know so many have died and I've actually fallen down the rabbit hole re: this subject the last couple of months. Geez.

I'm glad you brought up Doctors without Borders because when I heard the news this morning about the second nurse, my first thought was that those health care workers must be shaking their heads. They work 18 hour days treating dying Ebola victims, in rudimentary pop-up medical tents, working in and around tainted…

They will likely never sue to enforce them, especially in California and especially when EVERYONE in the organization is required to sign one. Judges hate them and our economic system hates them. Unless you are a higher level exec or you have a position in product development where the inevitable disclosure of trade…

You sure she's not still in middle school? Put editing aside for a minute because editing had nothing to do with her cutaways and interviews where—from day 1—she routinely threw every other designer under the bus in between giving herself accolades and proclaiming how talented she believes she is. Let your work…

I'm on my second IUD and haven't had my period since 2009! That only sucks because every time I have to have a procedure done that either requires anesthesia or radiation, I get the "what was the date of your last period?" to which I gleefully, proudly respond, "I haven't had my period since 2009!" But then they make…

It's not lost on the defense, trust me. Those people have to deal with the cards they are dealt in order to provide their client with "zealous defense", and if it means dirtying up the victim, that's what they have to do. It truly, truly sucks and is just one of many reasons why most public defender offices have a…

Agree 100%. I saw this a few months ago when it originally aired and was blown away*. Will never give one cent to that league.
