It was free on Kindle Unlimited. I read it. I can never get those two hours back.

Based on where they live, likely not.

I don't think Jesus preached conditional love. Carla Alcorn needs to actually think about what happened, and not just try to save face.

I'll be interested to see if our local press covers the funeral.

That's exactly what I thought. God forbid one of her students confided in her that s/he was somehow different.

If you scroll down (I looked too), there was one picture that Leelah drew of his sister, dressed as Elsa from Frozen. That was the only evidence she had an older child at all. It made me really, really sad. She seems so thrilled with her younger two daughters, how could she not have had room for a third?

I wish all parents were like that.

It's the second suicide by semi we've had in just the past few months. The first was an older man who was a huge community leader. The family denied it was suicide, even though the coroner ruled it as such.

I sincerely feel terrible for the truck driver. What a heavy, heavy burden. I hope the parents aren't stupid enough to sue the driver, as there was nothing he could have done to prevent it, but I have a feeling they are going to deny, deny, deny.

Mom Alcorn is a kindergarten teacher. This makes me exceptionally sad.

I admit no one in this particular situation is going to win a prize for being awesome, and I'd never tell someone to quiet down their baby, but c'mon. I've seen plenty of parents with literally NOTHING for their kids. Being prepared and it not working is one thing, not having a thing for the kid to do (toy, book,…

I'm sure you wouldn't make the same excuse if they forgot diapers or food or something. Traveling with a kid = bringing things to entertain them, right?

Thank you. Same here — there was a kid, maybe four, who was screaming and carrying on the row behind and next to me on an 8-hour flight to Paris. The parents brought NOTHING for the kid to do. No iPad. No books, no magazines, no toys, no coloring books, not a thing. I'm an adult and have issues sleeping…

When I saw that, even with the special cups, my inner stage manager was thinking about slipping actors.

Guinness and Stella. Dead of cute, here.

Not her fault that it's short, but you can't tell me there wasn't a box or a crate or a step stool or a chair or ANYTHING in ALL of that shoot for her to stand on instead of an actual person.

I'm 5'3" and I'm either stuck in the front or I've occasionally been on a stool. It's not hard.

She may not be swaddled like a baby, but she does openly admit to literally stepping on the backs of her inferiors.

You don't cook it with oil, no (the sauce won't stick to it once it's cooked if you do) but salt? Yes. Yes. Yes.

The plus is just ridiculous. I like the 6 for the screen real estate, but I can barely even hold the plus in one relatively small hand.
