For the last time: it is NOT "your" inheritance until the person actually dies and legally leaves it to you. In fact, the only thing tackier than cheating and impregnating (or being impregnated by) someone who is not your spouse is being the kids of that person and acting like his/her property is YOURS-YOURS-YOURS RIGHT NOW.
If my kids ever did this, I'd leave the whole damn estate to charity.
@small-fox: I was upset about this, too, but then I realized: You gotta feel bad for them. I bet the promise of all that money was the only thing dulling the pain of being Mel Gibson's offspring. Without that, what have they been sticking around for?
@Slovenly Muse: I think they could buy a private island with the royalties they receive every time someone says "sugartits." Mel should get a copyright.
"The gay and lesbian community has been supportive of Carrie," he says, "Everyone comes up to Carrie and says, 'We may not agree with you, but we respect you for what you say and these individuals do not.'"
Oh, I really doubt that's true, Mr. Carrie's Dad. Seriously? The GLBT community in CALIFORNIA supports her? I don't even live in Cali anymore but that doesn't even sound true.
So, Sean, not content with being a general all-around ass, you feel the need to be a general all-around ass to your wife by trading her in for a much younger model. You, sir, may just win that Douche of the Century award.
"She wanted marriage, she wanted children; and not that I didn't want that, but I didn't want that at that time because I had just gotten out of a marriage, I'd just had kids. Yet we're up against her biological clock - that pressure is what cracked it,"
Isn't this story commonly used to scare younger women into settling down before they dry up and can't have children? Ugh, why is Lance being an ass, this should be kept private. I'm not sure what he's trying to gain by painting Sheryl Crow as a desperate.
They gay and lesbian community is supportive of Carrie Prejean? Oh look, I've been transported to opposite land. Here, shrimp drive cars and all water fountains have been replaced by cranberry-pomegranate juice fountains.
@CrazyLegsMeg: This American Life on NPR did a storyy a while back. Someone was talking about what it was like to work with her. They said she was just totally desperate for everyone to like her. She really needed people to like her.
@mfnher: Yeah, if my mother went on national television talking about how my divorce killed my father, I would be desperate for someone to like me also, since unconditional love certainly wouldn't be available to me.
@Buffalo_Gal: I've heard that he's a dick but I don't think his statement is that dickish. He said if the woman wants a child, not any woman on the planet. And I think that's true too for guys I know who really want to be dad's. That is true for some women which is what he said.
@CareerUnderachiever: is it better to marry someone knowing they want a family and then bailing? Maybe he thought he was on board and realized he wasn't and called off the wedding. I can't believe we're slamming him for recognizing he couldn't commit and backing out.
@LibidinousSlut: Yeah it's in the context of him saying they had to break up because she wanted a child. Clearly he means the greatest gift to give to someone who wants a baby more than anything else in the whole world is...a baby. Not specifically his. Not specifically men, either.
I think people just need to stop freaking about Jon and Kate. Maybe they have an open relationship or some other arrangement. Really people, those exist.
@greengrey: @LAmonkeygirl: @KidPresentable: Exactly. They make a huge income from appearances in churches and promoting their Christian values with books. Either have an open relationship and your privacy, or stop using Jesus' teachings as your income source.
Dear Rachel: Some people will never learn. My last name is ONE SYLLABLE and people still pronounce it incorrectly sometimes, because they think that one letter is silent. I've had teachers who literally could not pronounce it correctly, even after having me in the class for an entire school year (or in one instance, THREE years).
Anymore, I just tell myself that I don't care how people pronounce my name (my first name is also strangely pronounced, but I blame my parents for that one), so long as they're calling me by name and not 'Hey you' or whatever, I'm happy.

That phrase always irked me. What's so great about a gift you gotta hold onto nine months and is a BITCH to open, so to speak. Just saying.

Oh, wait, I forgot. It's an opposite statement!
