I don't remember much of the book, but doesn't she start sleeping with the guy who takes them in? And I remember she stalks out her mother's husband and the marries...the surrogate father? These books are so messed up.

She's clearly still in that stage where she doesn't realize that it's not just people her age or the people she sleeps with who are having sex. Every generation thinks the "invent" or "discover" sex...then you get a bit older and it "BAHAHAHAHA, I was so silly back then". Someone should let Miley know that gonorhea…

I totally hear you and once I reached 29 (I'm almost 31 now) it certainly felt that all the good ones were taken and only man-children who want to date 22 year olds were left. I'm still single, but I have met some really nice guys in the past few month mostly because I started to expand my social circle. Don't get…

I hope these women win their lawsuit. It's fucking terrible how they've been taken advantage of because it's supposedly an "honour" to be an NFL cheerleader. Bullshit, they women have skills and should be paid accordingly.

AWESOME! Wear those halters like a boss!

That's something I always appreciated about her as well. I saw an interview recently with her and she admitted that she was not very close to her parents. I had to commend her for that - she didn't say they were cut out of her life but that she talked to them maybe once a month. Considering the abuse she suffered…

YES. YESYESYESYESYESYES!

"and a megalomaniacal complex rivaling that of Stephen Harper."

Noel is the KING of angry rock star commentary. I saw him play at Coachella a few years ago and they did interviews with all the artists. His was hilarious, he just basically said "You know, people just like to get drunk in fields, so music festivals just add music to that and charge people hundreds of dollars. …

I've heard of the sticker shock that many experience for weddings, but I think part of it is most people have never planned a party that big for so many people. If you're feeding people dinner and giving them even just beer and wine, you'll be spending, at minimum $50 a head in most places. 100 x 50 = $5000. More…

Here in Canada, it's illegal to fire someone for being pregnant. That being said, I've seen it happen. It's never an all out firing, but usually a downsizing or restructuring right before or during the leave. It's one of those things that's pretty hard - you have to downsize, so who are you going to let go? The…

Maybe use another browser? I was able to read it fine in Firefox.

Sarag Marshall wrote a fascinating piece about the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan incident that illuminates how there is definitely a right "look" that skaters (especially females skaters) are supposed to have.

As someone who lives in a country with free health care, situations like these is why I just can't understand what goes through many conservative Americans minds. They rail against things like socialized medicine and claim that they would lead to things like death panels and a big brother like government making…

I totally agree that they need a science writer. These articles (and usually their titles) make me cringe and seethe.

This is what I don't get. People freak out if a woman has a small glass of wine when visibly pregnant, but many laughs and accept the whole "I'm eating for two, I can eat whatever I want!" ... but you aren't eat for two...you're eating for one and 1/25th or something (I'm just making up a fraction here for the size…

I don't think that comparing Canada's issues with native children and FAS vs having a few glasses of wine during your pregnancy is the same thing. FAS in native peoples is highly linked to the poverty and lack of education in these communities. I lived in Winnipeg for a few years and there are definitely programs…

This so much. What the OP doesn't understand is that the sentiment that she expressed (although I've gathered unintentionally, but that's usually how these things go) is the idea that the love parents have for children is the deepest and most profound anyone can have. And those who aren't parents can't understand…
