Courtney needs some real help and a new start. She won’t get it as long as she keeps the people who use her in her life though. I feel so badly that she suffered a miscarriage. I hope one day she finds peace.
Yes she does. I had a miscarriage 8 months ago and am now in the early stages of pregnancy again. I’m very apprehensive and constantly fear another one. But not once in my two years of fertility struggles have I thought to shave my head. During this time I even had a very close friend die of cancer. I cut my very long hair above my shoulders and donated to a cancer group. A woman with long hair shaving it off as an emotional response is, in my opinion, extreme. It’s a cry for help rather than a gesture of solidarity with someone else. It’s a symptom of a larger problem that needs to be addressed and is a very obvious plea for attention.
My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage too. I tried not to think about it in subsequent ones, but it was in the back of my mind more often than I care to admit. Here’s hoping for the best for you this time out, paleokifaru!
Thank you so much for the hope and support! I really appreciate it.
paleokifaru: As a fellow paleo girl (me in palaeontology) – I wish you all the best too.
If the people around her ignore these cries for help, she will have a full blown meltdown. This poor woman child deserves better.
Why can’t we just keep them in the White House?!?
I agree!! I miss them already. We don’t know how good we had it.
I’m starting to miss them already. 😢
I love POTUS and FLOTUS.
The end.
I think we should build a wall around the White House made from herbs, flowers, vegetables & fruit trees. That way we can keep them AND build Drumplethinskin’s wall. This will also keep Drumplethinskin out of the White House because he’ll be at McDonalds & KFC. The outermost ring will consist of beautiful, yet thorny, roses which should repel Drumplethinskin because of their beauty & thorns.
Amen!
Great idea! Let’s get started!
….and love, love Michelle’s hair in that bottom pic!
OMG, yes.
Same, and I’m not even American. But I think they (mainly Michelle) are probably ready to be done, they have earned a well-deserved break, come 2017 – and I hope his successor is NOT the Orange one!
(just three months left!)
Rafaela was amazing, she suffered from racism four years ago after a loss in London, what a way to shut people up!
Tom Hiddleston has officially joined Instagram. It will be interesting to see whether he & Taylor Swift will decide to follow each other or if only one of them will follow the other.
I love them both!
And hat tip to @Jwoolman – Michelle is once again practicing her “Second Amendment right to bare arms”!
Anyone have thoughts on the Rock’s “candyass” instagram? I am dying to know who was such a jerk on-set that THE ROCK (of all people!) got THAT annoyed with them. I think it was Eastwood.
Penny for your thoughts!
Oh, derp. I missed the whole post for that. Sorry!
Lily King: bold! Well done!!!
Anyone see that Trump just basically advocated that someone shoot Hillary Clinton? The man is unhinged.
I am SO UPSET I DON’T EVEN HAVE WORDS.
He is horrifying.
Anyone else who said that would be in the back of a police car right now.
And of course he and his toadies are saying we misinterpreted it. Sure, we did.
Which is just as horrifying!
This is so beyond anything that he must trying to be kicked out. He’s a soulless monster yes, but is he that stupid?
Maybe he’s gone insane. I wonder what his family is thinking.
Sorry, lots of thoughts going on.
why is he not being arrested? Or cautioned? Or given a strong talking-to by his handlers?
I think he doesn’t have handlers or anyone advising him outside of his family because he is a narcisstic sociopath who thinks he knows it all. He’s INSANE and an a-hole. And I am writing off anyone I know IRL who actually tells me they’re supporting him.
I know. It seems like they keep pussy-footing around because doing anything would “be interpreted as political.” Well, dammit, the law is above the politics.
And notice he knows exactly what he’s doing — hinting broadly enough to give a message without being specific enough to be arrested.
He’s not crazy. He’s just bad.
Apparently the Secret Service has gotten so many calls about it they took to Twitter and released a statement saying they were aware of it and will investigate.
congratulations to Rafaela, that was amazing!
(and also to Team USA for the gymnastics gold – Simone Biles is a STAR)
I FREAKING LOVE RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE. Bob the Drag Queen last season, so good. So happy to see Katya coming back. Best show ever.
That is all.
