Very honest post. I have adopted two kids. My son was just two. I was over the moon from day one, could not put him down, he clung to me, we bonded instantly. My daughter a few years later was almost four. She needed me, but was very reluctant to bond. I struggled to bond bc it was pushing my son away. They fought… Read more

Yep, some things sear the soul. Twenty years later, I ran into a guy who spread terrible rumors about my sister. He asked me out and I literally laughed in his face and told him I was struggling not to punch him for what he did to her. And, since he did not acknowledge what a dick he had been, punching would have been… Read more

Class of ‘85. I can separate the guys into the one who tried to assault me, and all the others who didn’t. And I know that the one who tried to assault me would be at the top of other women’s lists for being a great guy.  Read more

I think we agree to a certain extent, but I also have to acknowledge that I don't fully comprehend the experience of a being touched by someone of a different race against my will, and the additional layers of emotion and anger that could provoke.  Read more

I am a white woman who reacts very quickly to anyone who lays hands on me in public, thanks to some trauma. Touch me, and I will grab your wrist and throw it up in the air like a referee at a WWF bout. Time and gravity have lessened people grabbing at me, but now it’s touch my kids, and you might draw back a bloody… Read more

This is making me miss my Aunt’s potato salad. The trick was to mix up the dressing early, and add a healthy swig of pickle juice from a jar of home-canned sweet pickles. You boil the potatoes whole and in the skin, then as soon as you can handle them you peel and dice them and throw them hot and steaming into the… Read more

Was McCollough speaking about knowingly presenting false testimony to a grand jury, and failing to correct it? That is his lasting contribution to the legal system--deliberately orchestrating a series of liars to present his version of what needed to happen to protect his officer.  Read more

Pia Zadora in Butterfly. I had one friend whose parents did not care, so we all stayed up til 11:00 (too afraid to put it on a VCR tape) to watch what was essentially a VC Andrews book came to life. And then we were all squicked out that she was supposed to be our age.  Read more

I’m hearing it as Billy Joel’s Moving Out. Like Trump will be doing from the White House. Read more

Whole wheat toast, toasted and then covered with a thick slice of butter cheese so it gets melted, topped off with fresh tomatoes. That has been my breakfast all week and it keeps me full for six hours.  Read more

That one eyebrow is trying to escape from her body. I hope it writes a tell-all.  Read more

The constant theme that John Kelly runs the White House, and Trump is not aware of the day-t0-day decisions that are made. We all suspected it, and honestly hoped it, but this will drive Trump into a rage because his name has to be at the top of the marquee. Cue SNL skits where Kelly pushes him around in a pram, and… Read more

Her body language is screaming, “He’s not Sean Penn!” Read more

I just have to know--how does a construction crew deal with seeing a woman breastfeeding? What could they possibly cat-call at that point?  Read more

He has a beautiful mask. Pretty boy.  Read more

I like her, but she seems too sensible for that show. They will have to script some crazy drama to get her to fit in.  Read more

Lance Armstrong would have been perfect for this administration. He is skilled at lying and then destroying anyone who tries to expose his lies.  They were so close to getting away with it all! Read more

So Tom Cruise is falling out?  Read more
