As someone who has struggled with my own mental health, I strongly disagree. I had a front-row seat to a close friend’s onset of schizophrenia, and he suffered for months before going through a complete breakdown—despite displaying extremely obvious symptoms—because none of us had been trained to recognize what the…

LOL It kills me when people say that. I’m no fan of Carla Bruni who’s married to Sarkozy and also posed nude, but Helmut Newton was the photographer. She walked for St. Laurent, Dior, Lagerfeld, etc. That’s a supermodel.

In her position, would you want to?

She definitely looks good - but this is the first time where I saw her and thought - “oh, obvious plastic surgery”

So we have had our 90s nostalgia, and now we have our early 2000s nostaglia which will include a Republican President, cheap oil that becomes expensive, new wars, and maybe Chappelle’s show coming back.

I know one “fashion house” that would love to work with her husband’s entire administration: Hugo Boss

I *thought* I wanted to be a teacher at one point, and maybe if I had started my training with younger kids it would have worked out, but in my next-to-last college semester I did my student teaching with high school juniors, and OH. MY. GOD.

It’s getting harder and harder (note: nothing justifies what this teacher did) because parents are getting worse and worse. You have a lot of kids who clearly aren’t getting structure at home, and the new wave of helicopter parents basically disallowing any disciplinary action of their perfect angels means that kids…

One of our semi-permanent substitute middle school teachers quit after the harassment the 7th grade boys gave her. She was in her 20s and pretty and made the absolute mistake of saying she used to work as a bartender. That was apparently scandalous and transformed to a story about her being a prostitute/stripper. She…

I always wonder how hard it is to be a teacher because kids can be so rough. I worked at an elementary school for a little over a year as a teacher’s aide and sometimes they were super frustrating but I never felt even close to what this lady felt. Though my thinking is always, expand that over several years or…

Was hopeful that forgetting her meant she’d disappear, but as always, she refuses to give us what we want.

I’m so torn on how universities deal with harassment complaints. On the one hand, obviously people shouldn’t be able to get away with harassing people. Obviously. But on the other hand, it is true that the process in many Canadian universities means that you say sexual harassment, and that person gets fired, very…

I think, like everyone else pre-super fame, at first Dr. Phil was sincere and told it straight and it appealed to a lot of people. But then....fame, ego...etc and now it’s nothing but exploitation.

I bought my wife a fishing rod for our first anniversary. I honestly don’t remember why, but I can only plead insanity. Believe it or not, we’re still happily married after 31 years!

No speech. Just well wishes.

Xanax did that to me. I was given a low dose by my doctor for severe anxiety disorder, but was on it for ten years. I have a terrible memory now and can’t focus. I stopped taking it three years ago but I don’t think I’ll ever get it back

Ignore the dogpile (it’s my least fav part about commenting here—we’re all bound to be on receiving end of it). They’re probably just withdrawing. I KID, I KID. Come at me, folks!

Ok, I’ll bite (internet anonymity and all).

I kind of want the personalized cross to masturbate with. But it should vibrate, and maybe not be wood.

All of the robots look like Jason Momoa, they bring me wine that doesn’t cause hangovers and cook me gourmet meals, it looks like Bora Bora, and I also get to slay non-Momoa robot vampires.
