    I sleep on my stomach, with my arms curled up underneath me, balled fists under my chin, legs akimbo. Even if I fall asleep in some other position, that's how I wake up. Although I often have to wait a bit before I can use my hands or grip anything, it's how I'm most comfortable. I'm sure it's all sorts of wrong.


    I find the Deaves very disturbing, and I worry about Jenny, and the effect this will have on her children. Surely they will find out about this, and imagine the torture other kids would put them through.

    WTF Elizabeth? Looking for any excuse to jump on the soap box these days? So desperate to be heard, so little true understanding. It takes a lot of simmering rage for someone to completely ignore 90% of what someone is saying, like she did with Joy. Focusing on the monetary cost of the war my ass - Joy was talking about the loss of life and the poor treatment of veterans which should be an integral part of honoring said veterans. Seriously, she is just looking for a fight these days. Maybe she gets a little bonus for every frothing-at-the-mouth rant she goes on.

    @JessicaLovejoy is confused by this feeling of pride: YES. I prefer sriracha or Frank's Hot Sauce. ON EVERYTHING.


    @CrossWord: Frozen corn is COMPLETELY included in "frozen veggies." Frozen corn is the inspiration for "frozen veggies." GIMME.


    (Seriously, rice+beans+corn+hot sauce+a little soy sour cream to take down the heat = my favorite comfort meal, recession or no recession.)

    Adelaide woman Jenny Deaves, 40, has told New Idea magazine that she recently split with her father John Deaves, 62, and has found romance with 34-year-old Shayne Farrell - a bisexual father-of-three and now her fiance....... "We've only known each other 10 weeks and people may think we have rushed into things but he's my rock.


    She's engaged to a man she's known for 10 weeks, and her last boyfriend was her father.


    I can't imagine why anyone would question her judgement in men.

    Wow, there are a lot of nuts stories in there.

    First- the mother/father couple need that child taken away from them, even if they aren't "together" anymore.

    Second- I think it seems like a whole lot of work to get an ovary removed and reimplanted, especially with all the great kids out there waiting to be adopted!

    Third-I love that friggin' tortoise, and it is sad that the species may well go extinct.


    I also told my boyfriend if we were in Australia and we broke up I could get money from him(we've been together close to 4 years). His XBox and Wii would totally be mine!!

    out of sight, thought, mind and mention huh elisabeth? silent war? what the fuck is she talking about?


    god i hate how she acts like she never gets a word in when really, her shrill little whine just interrupts and overpowers both whoppi and joy who, just try and talk with their deeper, stronger, level-headed, goddess, georgia o'keefe, vagina power.


    my favorite was when whoopi is all "here's what's happening. were celebrating veterans day. now celebrate, damn it!" and it was over. geez.

    thanks for making everything difficult elisabitch.

    Oh, wow. As someone who lives with an injured Iraq War veteran, I can say Elizabeth is completely wrong, as per usual.


    Nothing infuriates me more than people like her who claim to support the troops, yet do nothing to actually help them. "Silently supporting" them is the equivalent of doing jack shit.


    Elizabeth, your silent support did NOTHING for my family today. Joy, on the other hand, has my family's best interest at heart by not letting the injustices of the veteran's system go unnoticed.


    Tip of the hat, Joy.
    Wag of my middle finger, Elizabitch.

    and beyond all the crap she's spewing, why is she taking issue with what Joy is saying before Joy even gets to her point? how do you know you dissagree if you don't let the other person finish a sentence?!?!?!?!?!?!

    Elizabeth is celebrating Veterans' Day by being defensive.


    She can't summon the words "dignity," "respect," "reverence," "thanks," "legacy," "sacrifice," or "apology."


    But she can cluck like a chicken.
