I’m so sorry that this is happening to you and your family. I’ve been reading through these comments and I agree with you that many of them are very glib and dismissive. It must feel like people aren’t treating you, your family/second mom like real people in a real crisis. I really do hope that Carrie and her baby are…

The truth will set you free? :-/

There are not enough stars for this. Modeling behavior that a child can use as a “take away” is how we shape good citizens. Not all this, you forgot your money/can't pay? Here have a shame sandwich and be glad you got a shame sandwich instead of nothing.

Full on ugly cry.

Sobbed harder.

I saw that bitch go heli skiing on the last episode of her show. Apparently skywriting isn’t next on the list.

“I weep for the future.”

Thank you for your kind words. They have really helped me to feel less alone. I never thought I would be in this position and the grief is so surprisingly powerful (even though I know I have options). It is comforting to hear about your friend. Congrats to her! It also helps to hear that you would grieve not having a…

That sounds incredibly hard. I have not been in this situation, nor do I have a child. I think you have to do what is best for you. What your heart of hearts is telling you. It might be hard to hear your heart of hearts right now given the complexity of the situation. I don’t mean to sound callous, but there are no…

Hey you lovely people out there. I hope you are having a good Monday night. Anyone feeling like they can lend an ear or advice? Lately I’ve been feeling really down. If I’m not at work then I’m usually in bed. I turned 39 in March and I’m single. I put on some weight the last two years and it has made me virtually…

I’m sorry that happened to you. I would have been just as freaked out as you were. I had a guy do that to me once while I was withdrawing cash from an ATM. Walked right up to the keypad as I was putting in my pin. I was positive I was being robbed. I hate to say it, but I think some men are into making women feel…

I agree that her art often misses the mark, but don’t forget “Cut Piece” it was pretty radical /feminist for 1965. It starts to get uncomfortable at 7:11 and her face speaks volumes...

This concept doesn’t irritate me nearly me as much as Reese Witherspoon’s new lifestyle site, but what you just wrote there was goddamn hilarious.

Might I suggest a bubbler? It's a pipe with a water reservoir. It works similarly to a bong without the 'real estate.' You hold your finger over the carb (hole on the side) when you are 'pulling on it' and it bubbles. Then release the carb and continue to 'pull' to get the smoke. The water acts as a filter, cleaner…

I'm sorta tall, 5'10". I am supremely lazy when it comes to my own quality of life.

Right. So it would need to have a chandelier that was also a chest of drawers.

Ha! If I had a extra $125k, you can bet I would have someone come change these efffing light bulbs for me (and some dishes once in awhile). Those gardens are gorgeous. The house is beautiful, but a little sterile. They need a fun "little Edie" inspired room (not like a hot plate, bare bulb and animal excrement deal)…

Aww, I feel you. It's not selfish. Depressed people deserve to have joy too. It sounds like you are expecting her to not come to the table with her own boundaries. She should know best and be able to communicate what she is needing from you. I experienced my first major depressive episode at nine years old (of course…

Ok, but I call dibs on the floor lamp.

Yep. "Floor Lamp." It's my one woman performance piece.
