What's Hot Now -- Bad Teeth {Lemondrop}
Sep 22nd 2010 11:37AM I agree with those criticizing Lemondrop's content. Most of the time I just roll my eyes and move on. But as usual, and this irritates me as well, the headline was misleading and drew me in (which I guess is what it's supposed to do). When people think of "bad" teeth, I believe they picture the likes of Steve Buscemi or the rotting teeth of a meth/drug addict. Having a gap or even Ali McGraw teeth does not, to me, depict "bad" teeth. I love unique, healthy-looking smiles. I have a girlfriend who has bunny teeth (her two front teeth are huge and protrude a tad, but she's very cute), and a guy friend whose canines are so big it makes him look like a vampire (but sexy, as well). As for the gap, two of my girlfriends had it, both got them fixed, and after a few months, both had the procedure reversed. One developed a lisp and just couldn't speak properly and the other said she just didn't look like herself (and missed spitting watermelon seeds through it). To each his/her own.
How I Finally Got Over My Mother's Death {Lemondrop}
Aug 23rd 2010 8:29PM When I saw the title of your article, I clicked on it immediately. I prayed it would be the magic wand that would help me. Unfortunately, it wasn't. I'm sorry for your loss and can understand the anger of being abandoned at such a young age; but I do sense you were totally in denial, a tad self-centered and in desperate need of learning how to count your blessings. You use the word "us" once, I believe, in your narrative. The rest was, as others noticed, all "me, me, me." You still have your father and sister, correct? I'm curious as to your sister's state of mind, whether she proved more resilient, and whether you care. Perhaps you should talk to her about it. I'm sorry it took you so long to recognize/address this issue. Suppressing such things is never healthy (I'm talking from experience), but you are still young and have plenty of time to bounce back. I denied/suppressed things for years because I was afraid if I admitted I was hurt/angry, the floodgates would open and I'd never stop crying. So I'd like to share some things I've learned that might help. I'm certain many of us who've lost our parents struggle with an array of emotions we don't fully understand. Grief comes in many forms and mourning can take years. Some of us may feel abandoned, lost and angry for things never said or deeds never done. What we have to try our best to remember is that our parents came from a different time, had different values and, in their minds, did the very best they could because their actions came from the same place: the heart. Whether we had absentee dads who worked all the time, mothers who were champions of corporal punishment or masters of martyrdom, and the words "I love you" were never uttered while we were growing up -- I think we need to acknowledge that under THEIR circumstances, in THEIR minds, they did THEIR very best. Period. Some people are capable of only so much and having expectations of a perfect life or happy ending only sets one up for disappointment. No one is perfect. But your mother was to your dad. Perhaps you should try to remember her from his point of view. After all, you were only eight and most parents don't share the day-to-day struggles of trying to get by with their children -- especially while sick/dying, trying to be a good wife/mother, raising two happy kids and comforting a loving husband/father who is harboring the big picture and eventual fallout. I hope your outburst to your dad didn't make him feel guilty. He could have prepared you, too, but you obviously don't blame him in any way -- which is good. Again, I am sorry for your loss, but I'm glad your friend David and your mom's day planner helped you put things in perspective.
Cesar Millan or Victoria Stilwell? Who Would You Rather Have Train Your Dog? {Pawnation OLD}
Aug 21st 2010 4:39AM I very much admire both Cesar and Victoria. As someone else wrote, you can learn a great deal from both of their methods and use a combination of techniques. I have only one dog and a cat and utilize positive reinforcement most of the time. But if I had a number of dogs, I'd certainly employ some of Cesar's techniques. It really depends on the situation.
Kristy Lee Cook Reality TV Series Angers PETA {The Boot}
Aug 5th 2010 7:51AM First, who's responsible for removing the "off-topic, promotional or otherwise inappropriate comments?" Whoever you are, please do your job.
Second, Kristy Lee is a selfish, fame-seeking bi+ch who will stop at nothing to get what she wants and considers killing "a good time." She should be watchful of the karma police during her hunting expeditions. The animal kingdom can be very resourceful when it comes to paybacks. Kristy should think long and hard about the phrase "what goes around, comes around."
Most deadly times, places to drive {WalletPop}
Jul 16th 2010 10:43AM Uh, I live in NJ and never heard of I-76. Did they mean I-78?
How Do You Lose Weight, Find Love? {AOL Hot Searches}
Jul 12th 2010 9:31AM Another disappointing article. I realize doing a little research takes time, but while on the phone with friends while reading this, we all expected the article to reveal the best or most popular answers to these questions instead of just sending us to cyber search. We easily could have done that ourselves. Thanks for nothing.
JWoWW Talks Filthy Couture Clothing, Future Tanning and Skin-Care Lines {Stylelist}
Jul 7th 2010 10:47AM Ugh . . . she makes me ill . . . I've seen clothing like that on hookers in the City. I'm from NJ and have no idea what she's referring to when she says "Anyone on the East Coast can understand that "filthy" doesn't mean "dirty," but filthy beats as in the music." We might refer to music or even something else we like being "nasty," but I've got news for her: Filthy means filthy where I come from.
Puppy's Best Friend {MyDaily}
Jul 4th 2010 10:33AM That poor, adorable puppy! I wonder how he got down there in the first place. And I agree with everyone about needing more people like Zak in the world. It would definitely be a MUCH better place. I also hope he and his wife keep Puppy. I'm curious as to why they aren't. With such a story, a writer knows readers are going to wonder why, ask the question, and put that info in the article (e.g., they live in a complex that doesn't allow pets, they have five pets already, someone's allergic, etc.). The fact no such reason was provided can mean only one thing: one of them doesn't want Puppy. I believe it's Zak's wife, but I could be wrong. In any case, I hope caring for him changes their decision. I swear I'd be there in an instant if I didn't live in NJ.
Aloe Blacc's 'I Need a Dollar' Is the Best Theme Song on TV {Spinner}
Jun 29th 2010 10:06AM It's a good up-beat/funk tune, and I can see how it could grow on you . . . but I think the theme songs for the Sopranos and Saving Grace beat any I've heard hands down. Check them out.
What's Behind Oksana's Abuse Claims? Mel Gibson's Lawyer Says It's Sour Grapes {PopEater}
Jun 28th 2010 1:03PM While Mel has his problems, I think this woman has relationship issues. Dalton didn't marry her either . . . She already signed a custody agreement and is now claiming abuse? She probably didn't like the support amount since Mel would have the kid half the time and was only with her for a year, so she's not going to get anywhere near what Mel's ex got and is pissed . . . So she made this crap up to "persuade" him to give her more money. It's all about the money . . . The poor kid.
