An edit at the end of the article isn’t good enough. The story is false, it needs to be removed

your comment is impossible to comprehend.

However the money was presented it's stated that they had an "understanding", which means that the younger sister knew full well that the money was a loan. Sibs are the worst for ripping each other off :)

The defence of Diminished Capacity is the grown up version of Boys will be Boys. A man shoots/stabs/strangles hs partner because; she wouldn't shut up, she called him names, she berated him about his masculinity, she yelled at him, she was mean. He saw red. And who could blame him, after all, he's only a man,…

I understand how you feel but if she can survive the experience then you can survive reading about it. We need to bear witness to each others experiences, not just empathize with them. Her story woud have been too awful if she hadn't survived, but she did, so it's a triumphant story and deserves to be heard.

I've found that the older I get the longer my list is, and the more practical. I'm not looking for a man who can whisper naughty thoughts in my shell-like, in six languages. Im happy with a man who's willing to speak to the scary guy next door about his barking dog.

lol, that was the first thing i though too!

Thank you for posting her comments, she really is quite remarkable isn't she :)

^would^... 'scuse pls, it's dark and i can't find my glasses :)

Nope, I agree. She had already put the pic out there on her blog, he whould have been polite and asked, or mentioned at least, but it's not a big betrayal. As I said earlier, he did her great service, and thankfully, she's not wasting it. Cheers

He only took one pic the day they met, he too the bikini pic off her blog, without her permission.

I'm tempted to say something snarky about your fail at reading comprehenion, but you'd probably miss it....

We can never fully know how another person experienced something, sometimes we're not quite sure what we've experienced, but we can "try taking a walk in their shoes". That was an adage my mum often practiced, guiding my empathy and imagination. Your article touches the heart in the same way.

It's not correct to use a possesive apostrophe on a decade? I've always used one (i.e. 80's) is that wrong? Commas and apostrophes intimidated me, never sure I've put them in the right place.

she was punished, accepted her punishment, paid her fine, the story should have ended there. she did not deserve, nor was it part of her punishment, for her mugshot to be made public on the internet. I think that was the unwarranted embarrasment she's alluding to, not the shame and embarrasment of loosing her temper…

Without PBS I probably would have missed out on all the British shows that I now cherish; As Time Goes By, Good Neighbors, Upstairs Downstairs, The Forsythe Saga (the older one), Monty Python, Poroit, MIss Marple (Joan Hickson), and all the wonderful shows that made up Masterpiece Theatre, like Elizabeth R, starring…

you're not alone :/

I read the article with interest as I eat tuna, both in sushi and as tuna salad on rice cakes, 2 or 3 times a week, and I've been doing so for 40 odd years. After reading the handy list of symptoms I had to go lay down. I will probably be eating tuna just as often, I defintely won't be reading the handy list of…

"The thin, zero body fat, narrow-hipped, long-legged, cellulite-free body type that we see in commercials, on huge billboard ad campaigns and in glossy magazines is the ideal, and anyone who deviates from the ideal is fair game."

My flat already has two shower rods up and I couldn't figure out why. Feel a bit dopey that I didn't think of this myself. Off to the dollar store for baskets tomorrow. Thanks
