You know what they say, “Location. Location. Hostage pit.”

Bichon frise. Great dogs, even if you’re not an escalating-fetishist serial killer.

More of a homage.

I was actually kind of impressed that they were able to keep us on our toes towards the end there though. I had a couple moments where I doubted myself.

...you are absolutely correct.

Oh, cry me a river over his psychological punishment. It’s probably not even a drop in the bucket to the psychological punishment Reeva Steenkamp endured at the hands of this abusive controller. Or the psychological punishment Reeva Steenkamp’s family and friends have endured since his abuse led to her murder.

When your kid (who you gave birth to in your 50s) asks for a younger sibling, you say “NO.”

I’m an only child and every year I’d ask my mother for a little brother. She finally just bought me a fish.

A fish she replaced every time it died. I believed, for a big chunk of my life, that the fish had lived for 6 years.

Now that I know the truth I’m really glad she didn’t give me a baby brother.

We have one daughter. That is all we will ever have. She asks us if she can have a brother and a sister sometimes and we tell her she has the dogs and they’re much less likely to poop on the floor.

or just like

Oh gods, I am glad I am not the only one to feel this way. Don’t get me wrong, I am not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I wonder if there is something gimmicky going on. The optimist in me is saying it is the start of a shift toward diversity and I am gonna stick with that way of thinking unless proven…

Hey ladies, interested in giving up wine and your antidepressant for a drug that probably won't work and if it does will barely make a difference? Ladies? ....anyone?

PS LOVE the user name.

I’ve watched so many of those shows and the victim is always described as warm, outgoing, friendly, loved by all; just your average girl. I always tell my parents they don’t have to worry about me being murdered or disappearing because I possess none of these traits. I’m not All American or normal enough to interest…

The show’s not quite that liberal, sadly.

No worries. Sorry I got heated. I haven’t worked out yet today and I’m testy.

I watched “The First 48” for a while but you’re right it’s so depressing. It’s just really highlights inner city poverty and racial divides and it makes me feel so helpless.

Oh my Rescue 911! My sister liked that show growing up, me not so much. However I lived for Unsolved Mysteries and she wasn’t fond of it. Though they usually came on back to back so we’d just sit there together for two hours.

Yeah, wasn’t it on here or Jezebel where they were talking about sex toys that mimic an alien laying an egg in you? (To add to that, I’m working on a sci-fi story along that same sort-of-kind -of line, so I’m hoping that notion is somewhat believable to most and I’m able to convey it well.)

This is only tangentially related, but - The older man I dated used to bring up his previous partners, tell me about them, and then treat me as if I was being childish if I showed the least bit of jealousy/uphappiness about it. He would tell me way too much. Like how he had anal sex with a local beauty queen turned tv…
