My thought was that she was planning to give birth in The United States and not on the plane. She might have gone into labor early, though, and asked about airspace because she didn’t want to speak up until it was safe to do so. If anything, I’m concerned that she kept her labor quiet until she was sure. Read more

This is speculation, but I don’t disagree with you. Someone who had the forethought to bring a knife, terrorize the woman, threaten to kill her if she didn’t yield and then have the presence of mind to call his mom for help after fleeing the scene, is probably also someone who had an inkling of what he was doing, even… Read more

They're all on YouTube organized into helpful playlists. Watched some last year and they were still scary as fuck over a decade later. Read more

I’m hoping the build-up stuff was just for the first episode. I will say, however, that this isn’t a show to watch unless you’re DVR-ing. It’s certainly not appointment television. Read more

Do you remember the episode where a contestant had to sit in a haunted room for hours (I think) and returned victorious only to be told she had to go right back out again by the computer?

To be fair, my parents told me that Barbra never wanted to leave, she just had to. Because of the Nazis. Read more

Okay, well, my bar for humanity is already set very low and details like this just makes me want to blow up the planet. Read more

I mentioned it (and assume other outlets did, too) because it’s one of those human interest questions that anyone would ask immediately after feeling bad for the bride and then marveling at her generosity. Read more

Here are a few more pictures, courtesy of The Youngrens, who photographed the event. You can see more photos and read about their experience at the wedding here.

I would like to believe this, but if that were the case wouldn’t she be using a more spirited defense than “I can’t hold my plate at parties?” Read more

I really hope Iyanla brings this up on the show. Read more

Having read your work, I can't say I'm surprised. Read more

No, he was pro-life and cheated on me. :/ Read more

I don’t know. I think Rowan County wouldn’t elect someone like her again and they probably wouldn’t have if they thought she’d do something like this. For many, many people this has been a really embarrassing reminder to consider who they’re voting for. Read more
