Yes and 85º with no humidity is so brutal to an animal. How did it not melt on the sidewalk?

Okay, you had me until 85 degree heat. That's stretching the victim card a little. And you didn't need it.

I get a huge emotional boost from my dog. Just looking at him gives me a rush of endorphins because he's so darn cute and happy to be alive. (Seriously aided me during my last break up.) My best friend and my mom assure me that the love for your child is like that but to the nth degree. I have a hard time believing…

Belushi didn't end up too great, either.

I'm curious what authority you have on addiction that makes you qualified to make claims like "they're separate issues"? Because anyone who's spent any time working with addicts knows that it's a disease of the mind and the spirit and any kind of asshole behavior you exhibit very much has to do with your addiction.…

I think you're hearing things.

probably.

Texas and I'm 39.

I HATED selling Girl Scout cookies door-to-door. People were so weird and crazy and mean in their homes and they never wanted to order cookies in advance. Cookies are an impulse item. I want to yell at the Girl Scouts today who are so lucky because nowadays they get to sell the cookies in hand outside the grocery…

Jubilees–is that newer or older than Samoas? Cuz they were Samoas back in the 70's and 80's.

Yes, they are for sale outside every grocery store and drug store in Austin right now.

I finally realized I have, in fact, heard of this author. I've seen her books at the bookstore and maybe even read one!

Curious why this is being brought up three years later?

I disagree. The expectations of a mother are the expectations a mother has. We are speaking of the expectations society has for a mother. Style would be if we were quibbling over the expectations put on a mother vs. the expectations for a mother. What you and the others wrote is an entirely different meaning…

Does anyone seriously believe this kid wasn't fed those lines by her parent(s)?

@sarahmas: In the world, the expectations put on a mother seem to be greater than those put on a father. There fixed it for all three of you.

I've never been able to sit through an entire episode of Intervention because I don't find it very interesting. And it's not that I am not interested in the issue of addiction. I have my personal experiences with it. Both from the addict side and the Al-anon side. Yet this show, I don't know. It's interesting in the…

"Fancy abortion centers." Because everyone knows those sluts deserve to have their abortions in a back alley. Jesus.

I probably didn't. I wasn't trying to upset the black community. All I'm really saying is this episode is petty and embarrassing for Oprah. Couple it with the fact that she's no James Frey. (I never read James Frey, think his books sound lame, but even I know who he is because it was such a big story both when she…

They probably can't read the comments. ha.
