Hey Burt- what if this place was really haunted by the spirits of all the ex-girlfriends of the spiritual, musician, alcohol-free, poor people helping, spiritually enlightened, light-bdsm liking, toe curling sex making, house the size of a postage stamp having guy in California who died in early morning cuddling…

Haunted by frat boys sounds horrible, actually. Imagine all the late night "WHOOOOO!" noises you'd have to contend with. From beyond the grave.

I terminated a very wanted pregnancy at 26 weeks gestation in June. My daughter had a genetic duplication and abnormalities that would have ensured that her life was brief and painful, had she even survived the rest of pregnancy and birth. If I was not extremely privileged to have excellent health insurance and enough…

He knows where that number comes from; he pulled it out of his ass.

I'd like to know where he got his stat from because I was under the impression that many, if not most late-term abortions were because of serious disabilities. I wonder how he's defining "perfectly healthy." I wonder if he even knows where that number came from.

"Huh?"

"a fat, squat, Polish peasant woman, 45 years old but looking 55, with a lumpy figure, capacious hands and feet, and dull brown hair skinned back into a knot at the back of her head"

A couple of weeks, all of the sudden, Gawker was blocked from my work computer (govt.) for being an "Adult" site. Every other kinja site was available including Jezebel.

That's because employees aren't people. They are just faceless minion to create the wealth that needs to collect upwards. If one breaks, you throw it away and get another one from the shelf.

Making the sign was "unprofessional"? You know what's really unprofessional? Not paying the people who work for you.

People who believe one can live large on unemployment have probably never had to figure out how to live on unemployment.

It's called "fucking you out of your Unemployment benefits". Which is silly but standard behavior for these kind of companies that hate their employees.

Actually, employees fired for misconduct cannot always collect unemployment. She would have been able to collect it if WetSeal had left well enough alone and just let her be laid off.

When I die, hopefully I'll have time to crawl into a crawlspace in some house and not be found for years. This is my dying wish.

That you're a sweet, naive flower. Don't ever change.

But I'll lay odds that those checks were cashed.

What does it say about my belief in human goodness that I went to "lazy" instead of "social security?"

I pay a homecare worker to check on my elderly parents twice a week (I don't live anywhere near them). Sure, she does their laundry, makes them a pot of soup, and cleans the floors, but basically, she's there so that I know my parents won't die and be left alone.
