While I don't know her health condition either, I do know that in 2013 her annual royalties off TKAM were reportedly $1.5 million, which makes me doubt she's hard up for cash:

Thanks for sharing your story. A friend of mine (she has her PhD in neuroscience; her husband has a PhD in immunobiology and is finishing his MD this year) has also told me about concerns they've had about the vaccination schedule for their children, and how it was very, very difficult to find a physician who would…

This video is great, but seriously, 2015: when science needs magicians so that people believe them.

My favorite Ross scene of all time—I still remember hyperventilate-cry-laughing the first time I saw it.

I can see the two camps thing, and respect someone else's right to not enjoy it. Me, I think having kids at the reception is precious and kind of how life and family is: a little messy. :)

Thank you!! :D

I just got married on Friday, and if that had happened I would have dissolved into giggles up at the altar. That's amazing!

This is how my husband felt—weddings are a family affair, so families should be invited! I'm still not sure why our decision to invite kids so scandalized my aunts. The one four-year-old who came was a huge hit on the dance floor, and I loved having her around at the reception!

Annie Lamott talked about this once on Facebook, and I loved the way she put it: "Pain is pain." (Or maybe it was "suffering is suffering"?)

Sooo in posting this to Facebook I JUST found out that an acquaintance (the brother of my childhood BFF) knows the girl who posted this, apparently as a complete joke. I FEEL ALMOST INTERNET FAMOUS.

Catholic mass could be stretched somewhere between the 1 and 1.5 hour mark, but not past two hours. Without adding a ton of shit that a priest would most likely frown upon.

Ha, Bieber has already tried, and he has already FAILED. Our 13 year-old-selves can join in mutual glee! http://defamer.gawker.com/witness-leonar…

Nineties-era me says, "Oh God, please don't let Lecherous Old Leo happen" but oh geez you are right.

I am charmed, Channing.

Also, they need to stop recycling ideas for what's in the box! Items suspended in Jell-o has been done.

It does look fun! But I have to say that I'm very happy that these ladies leg lines did—those leotards look sooo uncomfortably cut. If it wasn't for their magical shiny dance tights, I think we'd be seeing some hooha with our high kicks.

It's the final refrain! Panning through a crowd of jumping happy people with the goofiest grins imaginable kind of makes me feel like a crowd of people is cheering me on. Or that my life is a musical. Or both.

I love that moment! But the one that gets me is the elbows after "it's gonna be all right" around 1:46. I die.

That's actually not even the superior mashup! This is the one to watch (didn't speed up the song quite so much, better/more entertaining syncing):

Me too! I had her books, and I so so wanted a doll, especially with her blue satin dress.

The current-day website makes me so sad (OMG the pink). Those Pleasant Company Catalogs (which they sent me because I had AG Magazine) were beautiful.
