Yeah I think you nailed it. I was stuck on blond kid and was just about to say Bradley Cooper when I read yours.

Oh wait, I think bottom right is Kim Kardashian pre-surgery.

I got Jon Stewart, Tori Amos, Oprah?, [blond kid no idea], and George Clooney. The two smaller ones at the bottom I have no idea.

First, I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend. Second, I do think that the way we phrase it has more to do with how it affects the living, for two reasons. One, so as to respect the loss without judgment, and two, to prevent copycats, which studies have shown are mitigated by using softer language about it and…

Please remember that you have a soul that is fighting for you, even if it feels like it isn’t. Your inner spirit is on your side. I know that “losing battle” feeling, but please, please remember that shred of strength deep within you when you are at your lowest. Be well, and be safe.

I think one thing that was so difficult for people to get their heads around when my friend died was that she was very “out there” and involved with her friends, her family, and her community. She had had some very challenging physical health problems but it seemed that they were getting under control. So on the one…

Ah, I knew it was something like that. Thanks!

I’m so sorry for the loss of your sister.

Good point. I have also heard—and this is probably apocryphal because I probably got it from a spy novel or something—that it is possible to beat a polygraph by putting a tack in your shoe. Supposedly if you move your toe enough to stab yourself with the tack during the “baseline questions”; e.g., “Is it 2015?” “Are…

I see your point, but the vast majority of suicides do not fall into that category. The word “committed,” in particular, should be avoided because it implies the commission of a crime, when in most cases the victim is, in fact, a victim of depression or a variety of illnesses and circumstances. For grieving families,…

This. A friend of mine lost her life recently and her family chose to frame it as: “she lost her battle with depression.” Because those who die by their own hand are not making a conscious, rational decision, which “committed” and “took” imply.

Unless and until she confesses, I have no interest in ever seeing her or hearing her name again.

My ex-husband proposed to his girlfriend at the girlfriend’s daughter’s 14th birthday party. Apparently he desired to traumatize the child forever.

Payzley.

I’m wondering the same thing, mostly because it seems like the transgender folks I have read about tend to do the cosmetic surgeries first, and then wait to do the full genitalia surgery, if ever. And therefore it seems that the process involves several operations. So I am wondering if this 8-hour surgery is possibly…

Eion Bailey, Dexter Fletcher, Ben Caplan, Kirk Acevedo, Stephen Graham, Colin Hanks, and many more... the list is long and the work was so amazing.

Co-sign this. I grew up in SoCal and spent my early adult years there also, and while I have SEEN many celebs, I have met/talked to very few unless it was in the context of work (in which case they were always nice). The lengthier encounters/conversations were almost always instigated by the celeb him/herself, like…

Look up Blood Simple, the Coen brothers first movie. And a bunch of other stuff from which you probably recognize him because he’s a great character actor. And, unfortunately, a douchbag, apparently.

I just finished watching Band of Brothers. Wow that was amazing and so. many. awesome. actors. Yes it was a testosterone-fest but I managed. to. survive. Ron Livingston FTW.

I had been dating this guy for several months and we’d had some ups and downs. I realized later that this was due to the fact that he was constantly editing himself and keeping his past a secret. We were in a good patch at the moment, and went to his work holiday party, a black-tie affair. We got very drunk. He said…
