From what I understand, the family is legally defined as a “church” making them exempt from pesky things like taxes and public schools.

Haha fair enough, I don't think I'd ask either. I never questioned my Methodist grandma who told me I had to eat the crusts of my sandwiches if I wanted my hair to grow long.

Did you see him in Sons of Anarchy? It permanently killed any minor crush I might have had.

I'd really like to know the Jewish grandma reasoning that cold pavement = kidney infection.

I went on a rant about this in the greys, but you summed up my opinion perfectly.

I want to learn how to cross stitch just so I can replicate that.

I can’t thank you enough for posting this. I was a huge “Making of the Band” fan and totally had pictures of Ashley from like Tiger Beat on my wall in middle school. My sister in law saw him in Wicked last year and I was super jealous, and I can't wait to send her this pic.

I definitely prefer statements like that. I’m sure if and when Anna makes a statement it will be about how Jesus says to forgive and she stands by her husband, because that’s what’s been ingrained in her mind. Subway Jared’s wife was all “fuck no, I’m out” as it should be. It just pisses me off when religious beliefs…

So I just read the Josh Duggar apology and immediately came down here to rant in the greys, so sorry if it’s already been addressed.

I’m gonna vote “Shootin’ The Shit With Mama Pitt” and formally ask you to please never stop doing Midweek Madness.

The linked article also said she struggled with bulimia, so I would guess that no, they're not her real teeth.

That's so interesting! Thanks for indulging my curiosity. :)

Ughhh yes. This. And then if for some reason she did take him up on his “job offer” and he helped her to get a new job or advance her career in some way, then she would “owe him” and be an “ungrateful bitch” if she didn’t want to have contact with him after. Fuck this guy and ever “nice guy" like him.

Aw, I remember toe socks! That's crazy that they grew back together. Does it affect how you walk at all? Is it painful with them being crooked? And as someone who grew up with a big nose and a goofy last name, I can commiserate. Kids can be assholes.

Jesus Christ. I hope I never end up in your hometown!

I have no idea who he is, but every time I read something about him I immediately think its about Teller of Penn and Teller and get super confused.

I'm being nosy and you obviously don't have to answer me, but now I'm super curious about this webbed toe business. If you're wearing sandals, is it obvious? Or do you have to be close up to see it? Did people mock you about it as a kid?

As a fellow unfortunate member of the club, I have a hard time with well meaning Christian folk saying “heaven needed another angel!” I just want to say no, fuck you, I needed my dad.

My condolences for the loss of your dad. After my dad died suddenly last year, I found a lot of support here on Jez and was encouraged to ignore the dumbasses and not let them get to me. Several people said well meaning but ultimately offensive things to me, and I had to just shrug it off. I do hope you and your…

When I was with my ex husband, I snooped on his computer regularly for the last few months of our marriage, because I suspected he was being shady and I confirmed that he was. Although the porn was the least of the upsetting things I found, it made me feel insecure. The things he sought out were basically the opposite…
