Aw, I forgot about Jason's mom having cancer. That's gotta be rough for them. And maybe Jamie and Doug will make it then, I didn't see that coming!

I didn't get to watch the first year season, but I got the same feeling about Jamie. Especially because she was on The Bachelor before. I think that once her 15 minutes of fame run out she'll ditch Doug. How are Courtney and Jason doing? I love them.

We lost the FYI channel so I couldn't watch the first year season about the original couples, but this new one is airing on A&E. I think you can watch it online!

You are not alone. And did you know a new season starts tomorrow??

Yes! When I explained the situation she rushed off to find a manager and confirm that while my phone had to be reset, everything would be stored in the cloud and eventually re-appear on my phone. I was very grateful for that Genius. :) And that's so cool about your father's guitar, definitely worth the closet space…

Yes, they eventually re-appeared on my phone along with all his texts. Sometimes it's hard for me to listen to them, and sometimes I just really need to hear his voice. That's so nice that you have an interview on cd though, that's something you can always treasure!

Please accept an Internet hug from someone who started sobbing at the Apple Store because she thought her dad's voicemails were lost forever. :(

I'm going to attempt this soon by just doing a shit ton of blonde highlights of differing shades, leaving my dark hair as the base vs. bleaching it all so it'll look more natural. I did something similar before and it looked really good!

And women still have sex with him. *shudder*

I will accept the cry-laughter and the hugs! I sometimes want to punch my teenage self in the face, but then I give myself credit for learning how to be less of a privileged asshole as I grew up.

That makes total sense to me. My therapist wants me to try some guided meditation stuff online, and while I want to see if it'll work for me you explained that process so well and it made so much sense that I'll definitely try that the next time I feel a panic attack coming on. Thank you!

I clicked on the link about the Beyoncé doll because yeah, I'm 12 years old at heart and love toys - I mean collectible figurines! - and if it was real I'd probably buy it for myself to sit on my shelf of POP figures and reign over Daryl Dixon and Saul Goodman. But I followed the link in the article to the Amazon sale…

Seriously. Sort of off-topic, but while my closest family members know my feelings on DNR and organ donation and such, I'd like to have it all documented and happen to have a lawyer that could write it up for me handy. Is that an expensive thing to do?

Confession time: I will shamefully admit that as a drunk and stoned 19 or 20 year old white girl, I asked a guy I'd known and crushed on for years if I could touch his dreads at a party. I then proceeded to double down on my awkward white unintentional racist shit by telling him that when I watched "Sister Sister" in…

I co-sign this theory. I had this teacher my senior year of high school - she had gone to the same high school, was a popular cheerleader, and came back to teach there the second she got her degree at like 23. She was constantly flirting with the popular football players and giving them special treatment (one in…

Ugh, when my brother and I were pre-teens my dad made "onion rings" and for some reason made a big deal out of us eating them because they were "a new kind". He and my mom were on the edge of their seats waiting to hear if we liked them. I thought they were chewy and gross but I don't really like onion rings to begin…

I tried so hard to do this the last time I was having a panic attack and I failed. Do you have any specific tips? I tried repeating out loud "you are safe, you are okay, this feeling will pass" while curled up in a blanket and watching TV and trying to trick myself into sleeping, but it didn't work.

I still haven't watched it! I was all ready to when it aired, but my friend called me crying 5 minutes before it started and I couldn't say "I can't help you with your problems because TV love you bye" because that would not be the Knope way. On a scale of 1-10 how sad is it? I need to know if I'm gonna cry my eyes…

The only thing I can relate to here is the colposcopy and DAMN. Advil did not help, nor did the the doctor taking the opportunity to lecture me on why I should quit smoking while I was trying not to squirm around in pain.
