devil:

You are judgmental and passive aggressive just reading about this show! You want to punch one of these annoying chicks.

angel:

Back to your Buddha nature honey. Zen. Breathe. Be kind.

devil:

No. Not kind! But could you be a tad envious perhaps?

angel:

Absolutely not, it's OK to admit they suck....no envy here for the cheese. You feel sympathy for their needy empty souls. They think global warming is a wine glass technique.

devil:

They just seem vapid. Just what the world needs, more tedious narcissists! Doesn't that just piss you off, tired old you and rich refreshed-looking them.

angel:

You don't need all that work done, you're real... with a real big heart.

devil:

You still wanna punch them, don't you? You hope they trip on those Manolo Blahniks and you know it.

angel:

I kinda do too.

You are giving yourselves way too much credit and power here. To play devs adv with you, what if a soul wants to be born? What if you have valuable lessons to learn and to teach? What if it's the next Nobel Prize winner seeking to rent your womb? The what if's are going to keep coming and soon enough you'll be too old. There are some places in the world reproducing at an alarming rate and others who have dwindling numbers that are equally as alarming. Some people have chosen other ways of "creating" perhaps, but the judgement you lay down here isn't moving the conversation forward.

"the plot involves an average-looking, underachieving guy who's desperate to forget the beautiful, successful woman who's just dumped him"

Again? What's with the chubby, lovable jester and the uptight driven women as a couple?

Too much surgery. Too much insecurity. Too much time and money, apparently. There are times when it's necessary, but for vanity and because you are terrified of aging? Now that is unattractive.

Check your ego before you drag the little ones into this pathetic pit of futile perfection.

"Chablis-and-brie set of San Francisco"- Pat Buchannan

That Pat is so silly, Chablis is sold in boxes, in places like Butler County PA.

Husband is 6'5". I am 5'9". Planes suck.

Good, very good!

Someone said that the flight attendant's off color comments were "a symptom of a growing American xenophobia."

Not that I disagree with the fact that racism is a big problem in every culture on the planet, but if you really want to see xenophobia, spend time in Paris. We were treated worse than dogs there, dogs with money.

That is just so twisted. People actually buy these? No way, I don't believe it.

I get what you are saying. You sound like some people I know who went East to West and vice versa. I could have written this when I moved to NYC and freaked out for a bit before the dust settled. Now hear this: It matters what is on the inside, not what is outside. You may be depressed, and the seasonal and cultural changes mixed with the pressure to perform are compounding the problem. Also, you are lonely there without a cluster of buddies. You need buddies in college, even if they aren't your best friends, you've gotta have your crew!

Hang in there. And for the record, the West Coast rocks and is tough to leave but this is temporary. It's all temporary.

I am trying to understand this story here:

A talented and famous photographer takes a photo of a Disney employee that gets people's panties in a bunch, but the photo shoot is not as scandalous as the headlines claim. The photog makes a simple statement that seems true enough and of course the drama continues.

So, you attack the photographer?

"Gawker rails on Leibovitz for being a controversy-baiting hack (which she kind of is)"

Ms. Hepola,

I've gotta disagree with you here. Perhaps you are out of your realm of experience? Annie Leibovitz is not a hack, but Gawker is filled with them. That you chose to back Gawker and not A.L. on this one speaks volumes.

LW,

Your lifestyle sounds reasonable and enjoyable. You seem grounded, you know what you want and I want to ride in your sporty car and come over for dinner. You just sound like you've got it together girl!

However, boyfriend sounds uptight about cash. Since that issue belongs to him and could be a disaster if you lived together, maybe you don't need get hitched or change your relationship. Good sex, good times, and you keep your own space.

Sounds like fun to me!

A good swift kick in the crotch so what he needs. Did you say you have a two week old? This is outrageous! It's unbelievable and why is everyone being so calm? I am so enraged I can't even finish the post sensibly.

WTF! Get a bloodthirsty lawyer (probably not too difficult) and slowly gather your support net, any way you can. He either met someone or he is just incredibly self-absorbed. Either way, let him go. You seem very strong and if you have five children, you have no choice but to survive and thrive.

Aw, LW, I am so sorry to hear this. Hang in there. There are people in the world with a stunning capacity to love and serve their families and friends. Your partner is just not one of them.
