Studies show that "skinny" women will outearn their "normal" and "obese" counterparts by tens of thousands of dollars.

maybe because your white and she was never a crossover pop star ? Not trying to be mean or anything...just saying. She was a pretty big deal in my world.

The fact that strangers make denigrating comments about our size is as unacceptable as a stranger's unsolicited comments on bodies of any other size.

This subject always brings up heated debate from both sides and I feel like I have a weird perspective having oddly been on two ends of the somewhat extreme weight spectrum. (But let's be clear here, I am only 5 foot so I would never qualify for model status no matter what.) When I was in my 20's I put on what was a…

Maybe because as a Who from Whoville she doesn't qualify.

K I can't believe I'm posting this here but....

I will go on and on to whoever will listen about how the time change makes me feel like going to sleep at 6:30.

Am I the only one who didn't know that Gladys Knight was Aaliyah's aunt??? WHAT!!!

I can't believe how Hollywood has totally just LET GO of the R. Kelly shit. Lady Gaga did some kind of music / song collab with him not long ago. Doesn't she have a little sister?

The girl playing young Aaliyah doesn't sing well at all, but they were able to find a dress that looks exactly like the one Aaliyah wore.

Am I the only one who seriously does not see the hype in Aaliyah? She wasn't that revolutionary (in my opinion). I don't even see her as a huge 90's/early 2000's icon. Seriously the movie is not that big of a deal. It's just Lifetime.

Yeah, it's irresponsible of her parents to want her to grow up in a stable country. So selfish.

This makes me happy! I used to work for United Blood Services and so many gay men would tell me that they would really really love to donate and help out, but they were so upset when they found out they couldn't donate :/ Even heterosexual people would tell me they refused to donate unless a change was made to the…

Bill Cosby was a cultural juggernaut. He was America's Dad. That was a whooole lot of cognitive dissonance to overcome to believe this story the first time around.

Yes, because the girl that was molested by her mother's boyfriend who she's now back together with and siding with her molester boyfriend makes the victim trash. Also, not for nothing, all of those children are victims with this horrible excuse for a mother. But it's easier and I guess makes you sound more edgy to…

We're not just talking about them. The victim is giving interviews. The lurid nature of the story is unpleasant, but it's also hard for me to say that people should stop discussing a subject when the person hurt most by it seems open to discussing it (presumably because she's being paid to give interviews...but...it's…

A former co-worker of mine left her own wedding reception to file paperwork to annull the marriage after her bridesmaid walked in on the groom getting a blowjob from one of the waitresses hired for the reception. I cannot even imagine.

The worst one I've seen was a military contractor - former Navy sailor - who slept with a married junior enlisted soldier ten years younger than him in Afghanistan, got her pregnant, got her kicked out of country for the pregnancy and prosecuted for committing adultery (an offense under military law), which ended her…

I once saw a very drunk, very confused young man trying to stick a beer bottle up his ass whilst crying. I was at a party and went to an upstairs restroom, only to see that monstrosity. When he saw me, he didn't stop, but just stared deeply and sadly into my eyes. I then gently closed the door and left that house…

Religious bookstores often sell "Family Bibles" that have pages you can write the family tree in. That often makes a nice gift. I also think the crochet/cross stitch idea is a good one.
