#2) Ugh. Reminds me of a friend's situation. We have two different friend circles (primarily). She got diagnosed with full-shebang-treatment-necesary level of cancer and one girl, "G" (whom she had recently introduced to her circle of friends) reacted by shutting her out and talking to her circle behind her back like…

get a rolltop kitchen cabinet that goes down to the counter. I love these!!

A favourite trick of mine - when I just find myself in the mood for shopping, I allow myself to try on whatever takes my fancy, but - KEY! - I **take a picture with my iPhone**.

My gods this is the lamest debate/argument ever.

Except on twitter, where every character counts. You know, that place where the AvGeek term was almost certainly born.

Lily Allen confuses me. I used to despise her. Then I heard some of her music (years ago) and could not deny I liked the lyrics in spite of myself. Then I grew to really like her. I respected what she was saying with her music. ...then she always goes and does some really lame, immature (in light of some other…

May I also say that this woman is ROCKING 100 years?!

Ah, ok. My point is: that they are more than "close" to the herpes virus. It IS the same family. (But I'm always in support of a correction on the details I misstate!)

hey, buddy, bondage costs extra!

yet somehow you don't all die of other-climate-produced sickness. (In the UK we'd all die if scurvy or something. But I guess that isn't"real" sickness or whatevs?)

chickenpox/singles isn't just close, it is. It's "Herpes Simplex [whatever number]."

Yeah. To me, a woman who will find you sexy for your car is, well, fits a certain profile. And if that's what you want, more power to you. But you wouldn't want me to be attracted to you anyway. Cause I will not swoon over your money or your gifts or your whatevers. In fact I'll think you're pretty pathetic - or that…

Haha. yes! Totally sounds like my house. Ahhh, bless 'em :)

As a woman who just yesterday finished patching the literal hole made in the wall of our rental apartment by my clumsy, drunken hubby one night [eek!], I am not one bit surprised. My sweet hubby doesn't even know how to "jiggle the handle" on a quirky toilet so my skills are pretty necessary. I love that he thinks…

I could so happily have a business where all I do is put together people's IKEA stuff. *dreamysigh*

Yup. It's a totally fair question/observation!

I think the criminal background incl rape and such has an impact here. I mean, sure he may still be mentally ill but in this case at least it's not the same as, say, a mother drowning her kids "ill". One is just "I am an ass who hurts other people regularly because I feel like it" and one is a break from what would be…

I agree with most of what you are saying. But your colleagues who don't want to write "spolier alert" are just douches (I mean, what does it hurt to write that in for a while?! Jeez!).

This idiocy (that religion = morality) makes me crazier than anything. As a (now) agnostic married to a Catholic, my hubby has said that on multiple occasions. (Though to his credit neither of us believe that he really thinks that. It's a holdover from, you might say, another time for him. After all, he's married to…

Perhaps. But also, you gotta start somewhere. I wouldn't expect for them to have the ability to just up and run the whole fleet off trash one day. (Though, for the record, I don't think you sounded like a right-winger. Just looking with a very critical eye at what's "green".)
