I hate when people stretch out the silent letter! If they write Loveeeeeee, it still reads as love because the letter they stretched is silent. It's so damn stupid and it annoys the hell out of me.

What is OWK?

What/who is Coco?

Regarding the bold: That one doesn't bother me as much as hypMotize and when people on animal/veterinarian shows say "vetINarian" without pronouncing the first R. It makes me cringe.

No, he's more of a penis than a pussy. A pussy is strong and can take a beating, on the other hand a penis is a weak, wimpy thing that falls to it's knees at the slightest tap. I never understand when people call someone who is weak a pussy, the penis is the weak one. Sorry, just my own personal opinion.

Wow, what a man he is lounging on the couch in what looks like the middle of the day, watching cartoons. He's such a manly man. My man must not be very manly, he's at work today doing the same hard ass work he's been doing for over 30 years. He's also a fantastic step-dad (bio dad is dead), grandpa and a loving, giving, caring, generous partner to me, but he works so much. Just think, I could have had him home all day lying around watching cartoons. I'm going for a real man next time. I also need to call my kids over for a serious family meeting so I can apologize for never playing Yahtzee with them. We played just about every other (mind numbingly boring kids) game out there but we never played Yahtzee. I suck as a mom.

I agree. I would never defend Jenelle but the "oh my god, I would NEVER" responses surprise me. I watched the episode but fast forwarded her scenes so I didn't see this particular one. As long as she didn't pour any Jack in his coke, I don't see a problem. My kids are 34 and 32 and they had sodas growing up. Not every day but I'm addicted to Dr. Pepper so we always had sodas around and on occasion I'd let them have one. They also always had sodas when we went out, but like yours, more often than not they'd pick milk or chocolate milk. Neither of my kids have rotting teeth or any other health problems from drinking some soda when they were growing up. I also want to clarify that I didn't ever put soda in their bottles and they didn't have any soda at all during their toddler years. There are, unfortunately many reasons to worry and have concerns for Jace but in my opinion, drinking soda isn't one of them. Where did the idea that soda is horrible for kids with ADHD come from? From what I'm reading, that isn't true at all. Granted I don't know much about it but in my quick search I didn't see that this is true. I also don't think Chelsea asking if Aubree is excited to be a bad thing. I think it's kind of reaching to be honest. My grandkids are 6 and 10 and I ask them that all the time. When I call to invite them to come spend the night, I ask if they're excited, or if we take them somewhere or make cookies together or what have you. What's wrong with asking that? And I really, seriously doubt if Chelsea will still be asking her that when she's a teenager.

Thanks, I'm happy to still be here! It sucks but I just keep telling myself how much worse it could have been. I can walk short distances with my cane and they said I'd never do that. The part that sucks most is having to go places like concerts and stuff in a wheelchair, although the handicap parking is great. I went to a Kid Rock concert last year and it sucked in a wheelchair but at least I was able to go. When I feel down and sorry for myself, I just remember that I could be confined to a bed with everyone having to help me with the most basic things, like showering and using the bathroom. I don't know if I could have lived with that. I may not be able to do everything I used to do but I'm always learning different ways to do things. The only thing I really can't do that I miss is going on long walks with the dogs. I can take them out walking while I'm on my scooter or ATV but it's not the same. But that's a minor thing and I don't dwell in it. My doctors all said that my attitude is a big part of my recovery. If I hadn't had such a good attitude about everything, I might not have recovered as well as I have. So I guess my goofy, happy self was a big help. Lol.

I think Hervé was much better looking than Soapy. It's a terrible thing to say about a baby but seeing him literally makes me cringe. I don't think he's one of those ugly babies who will be a cute kid later on. He just seems to get more...uncute every day.

When I first saw people's reactions to the rat story, I didn't understand the issue. My kids both had pet rats growing up and when they died, I dug the holes for them and they'd have a little funeral. I never even stopped to think about what you said. Now I get why people had such strong reactions.

It's a long story that makes me look like an idiot... My husband is a truck driver and he and his partner were going on a 2 week job so I made a bunch of road snacks and my dog and I took them to the "yard" for them to take on the road. I took my dog's favorite frisbee. As the guys were doing their truck inspection, I was playing frisbee with my dog and the dog who lives at the yard with the security guy. The yard was in Oakland, right on the Bay so it got really windy. The wind picked up the frisbee and it went on the roof of the office. The dogs were staring at the roof and whining so idiot me decides to go on the roof and get it. I don't remember a lot after that but I do remember that the frisbee landed on the facade on the roof which looks like another story but is just big windows for looks. I climbed on the roof then I climbed on to the facade and grabbed the frisbee. After that I remember nothing. From what was pieced together, it looks like I slipped on the facade, hit the edge of the roof with my pelvic bone, which was shattered and landed in the parking lot on my back. My husband couldn't find me so he and the guys went looking for me. They found me on my back in the parking lot and both dogs were lying next to me. They refused to move until my husband got there. Almost 3 years later, I've had 9 surgeries ( my spine is now about 90 percent steel) and have more scheduled which sucks but there is a bright side. After my first surgery the night of my accident, I was told that I would never walk again and would need 24 hour care. I pretty much said "fuck that" and I've worked my ass off in physical therapy and on my own. I can't walk for long distances but I can walk with my cane and I can take care of myself. I needed help for the first year or so but I can be alone for weeks now and I can take care of myself just fine. I've always loved cooking and doing housework. I have a woman who comes in once a week to do my big cleaning but over time I've figured out ways that I can do some cleaning. I've also rigged up a bar stool that I use when I cook so I can cook everything I used to cook. So it's not all bad and like I said, it'll take a lot more than this to bring me down.

My old house was on a road that was in between the 2 main roads in town. Every morning at about 2am all of the drunks who left the bar would avoid the cops on the main roads by coming down my street, most of the time with very loud music. It sucked so I feel for you. It was also the shortcut for people who wanted to avoid the main roads. The city finally put speed bumps on my road but it didn't stop them from using my neighborhood as their shortcut. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

I love that Kate's favorite kid is the first one to turn on her and leave. She never even tried to hide the fact that Hannah was her favorite.

You don't have to duck with me. I completely agree, he is not cute. He's the unseen baby on Seinfeld that everyone gagged every time they looked at him.

Thanks. I'm fine though. I don't know why I vented like that. I hope I didn't make anyone uncomfortable. I have always been a happy, positive person so I just took my situation and made it work for me. I can't go hiking anymore but my kids got together and got me a really nice and safe ATV so I can still take the dogs into the hills. I can't work anymore but that just means I have more time for my family, pets and you guys. I've also had time for my hobbies and reading. I learned how to do yoga in a different way. It's all good. I'm still a happy, positive person. It'll take more than this to bring me down. Seriously though, I'm sorry for venting that way.

That's what everyone says. It sucks because people have no problem telling me I'm too skinny, that I need to eat more, ask if I'm on drugs or have an eating disorder. The worst is when I'm told how "lucky" I am. Yeah, I'm super lucky that I lived an active lifestyle, hiked in the hills around my property with my dogs, practiced yoga for 14 years, looked pretty good and felt great with a few extra pounds. Then I fell off of a 2 story building, ended up having 9 surgeries and will never be able to walk long distances again. Any time I'm going to be out for a while I need my wheelchair so half the time I don't even bother to go, which is fine with me because now I'm a hermit and I look like an old, scrawny skeleton. How lucky am I? Sorry, that wasn't directed at anybody here because nobody here has done these things. I just wanted to point out that being skinny isn't always a good thing and there really is such a thing as too thin. I'm just a hair shy of 5 feet 5 and my weight flucuates between 95-99 pounds. I've made it I've the 100 mark once or twice but I always lost it again. Damn. I'm in a bitchy mood today. Sorry.

I hear ya, I gave up on the show because it made me so fucking mad and now reading the forums is doing the same thing. Only thing is, I can quit the show but I can't quit you guys. You've all saved me from so much loneliness and boredom on the weeks my old man is working on the road. I'm trying to gain about 20-25 pounds so my florist (hey, weed is just a plant right? So that makes him my florist) gave me a new strain guaranteed to give me munchies and whoa boy he was right. I usually don't have an appetite. I'll see the clock and realize it's 7pm and I haven't eaten all day. I lost a lot of weight after my accident and just never got my appetite back. I got up this morning at 9, smoked a little about 10 and I haven't stopped eating all day. Usually by this time all I've had is my milkshake with the weight gain powder. I made myself bacon and eggs, then had an ice cream sandwich, then 3 of those little bags of Lays chips, then it was lunchtime. Lol. This stuff is great. I've already ordered an ounce that will be here tomorrow. Bring on the pounds!!! I wish we used small talk more often.

Why would anyone want to be in a relationship where all you do is fight? I just don't understand that. My marriage was like that (along with physical abuse) and once I escaped that relationship I swore I'd never be in another one like it. Do some people actually like the drama and fighting in their relationship? I've been in a committed, live-together, relationship for 29 years now and we very rarely fight. Maybe once a year we'll say "fuck you" "no fuck you, ok what's for dinner?". I like peace, quiet and calm in my relationship. I just don't get it.

Thank you for this. I've had a suck-ass day and I needed a laugh. I friggin love you guys, even though I haven't watched in a couple of years, this is still the first part of the board I come to, and it's because of the posters here. Thanks again for the laugh.

I can't really say anything about this subject. I once met a guy and he moved in with me and my kids in less than a month. Now, 29 years and 3 months later, he's still here and has been the best thing to ever happen to me and my kids (and now, grandkids). So I'd be a huge hypocrite if I bashed anyone for this. In my case it worked out great.

I'm old, so to me a DJ is the person who plays records on the radio. I have no clue what today's DJ does. That being said, I love Pauly's love and passion for what he does. You could see on his face that he genuinely loves what he does. He was never attractive to me until that episode when he was in his element. Ronnie needs serious help. I feel so bad for that innocent baby girl. One of the many, many reasons I'm an atheist is shit like this. Why can 2 out of control, unfit, alcoholic, aggressive, violent assholes have kids with no problems but people who would make fantastic, caring, kind, loving parents can't conceive!? It is so unfair.

I am sure about that. Smoking weed doesn't make you stupid like alcohol does. Smokers don't lose their minds, black out and do things like this, drunks do. I still say that if she'd gotten high instead of drunk, this would have never happened.

Yes it is. It sucks that they're trying to ban it. It helps so many people. I like to give my system a rest from the narcotics so I'll take kratom for a week every couple of months.

It really is. Chronic intractable pain is horrible. I take ms contin.

Be careful. Tramadol has the WORST and longest withdrawals than any other pain medicine. I'm in a couple of pain groups and I've heard horror stories. I refused to take it.
