Jessica Coen's discussions

@thelandlady: I know exactly what you meant, yep. And I disagree. I am popping my medications right now. This is how people talk. Read more

@thelandlady: Actually, it's a pretty accurate headline. She popped some pills. In public. And this is how we're reacting to it. Read more

@CupcakeMonster: I, too, had the ribbon. The one with the ball on it (there were two versions, no?). Read more

@Rosebush: Oh, yes — it is indeed a thing. Read more

@NewsBunny: No, and no. And if I were, I wouldn't have shared it! Thankfully, my personal state never came up. Read more

@sincbt3: I don't think I'm getting you wrong at all — I think what you're saying is 100% correct! Read more

@sincbt3: That's a very good point. Nobody asked to hear about my issue, I just put it out there. Tom responded, but I started the conversation. Albeit not in a sexual manner — but still, I like what you're saying about readers taking what's offered and "giving back," in a way. Read more

@Holly Green: I understand your point — as I mentioned to another commenter, after having written for blogs for years, you become pretty accustomed to getting emails like this. The web is what it is, alas. In fact, Tom's original message was less lewd and more polite than what one usually has to contend with. If it… Read more

@blowup: Ha — yeah, I'm going to take some time off from the topic. Unless there's some sort of breaking poo-news that requires my newfound expertise. Though I don't even want to know what that news might be. Read more

@regenerator: Yeah, I definitely had my Skeptical Goggles on. But he was so game to explain it, never once paused as if he were thinking up some funny BS to answer my questions...the tone of his voice, lack of hesitation, and thoroughness of his responses had me ultimately believing this guy as much as one can.

@DonnaPirana: Having worked with blogs for a few years now, I guess it no longer freaks me out when I get this kind of email. The internet is what it is, for better or worse! That said, you guys can see the original email he sent here. Read more

@Brisco_County_Jr: I'm just going to cut and paste an amended version of my response to a commenter who was similarly humorless: Read more

@JetboyJetboy: YES! It drove me nuts — Season 2 premiere, she suddenly had bangs! The Island Supercuts is fantastic, obvi. Read more

@Dancingfrog: You know we're not talking about a real person, right? Read more

@100flowers: I'm sorry. I cannot watch you do this anymore. Read more

@AgentRosenfield: Actually, my mother is about to turn 60 — and honestly, she looks younger than Streep. She's not had any work done. It's weird, now that I think about it. Read more

@CissyPants: For the sake of a healthy debate here — don't you think that if we were to abandon every jokey (or even borderline sarcastic) use of a word, language would become a little less entertaining or flavorless? "Forced" as a figure of speech in this scenario may technically be the same as "convinced," but… Read more

@CissyPants: Whenever anyone uses that term, it's as figure of speech — not to be taken literally in any context short of a Clockwork Orange scenario. Read more

At least the hair momentarily distracts from the dress. Read more

@lyzmoon: I'm one of the site's editors, so yeah, I agreed and approved. :) Read more
