Normally, this sort of thing doesn't faze me. Write sports for a living (especially online, as I do for SI.com), insults come with the turf. You're dumb. You suck. You're an idiot. You're a moron. I'll never read your crap again. That's the %#$$ #$@@#$ %$$# thing I've ever heard.
Over here, a discussion has been had in response to a seed listing suggestions for improving Newsvine. At over 1000 comments, lots of derailing and a dash of drama, the thread has become all but unusable. And certainly ineffective for real discussion purposes.

Last Wednesday night one of my teeth started having tremors. It's a bad tooth. It was scheduled to be removed once the areas of the extractions I had two weeks ago healed. I had babied it. Coddled it. Talked nice to it. No solid foods. Topical numbing solution. Got through it.

It's a subject that needs to be brought into the light. Men do it. Women do it. Some should do it more...or less. Sometimes it's spoken about in passing. Sometimes we talk about it amongst each other. The time has come to open up and tell it like it is. It's grooming.

The Internet has allowed tens of millions of Americans to be published writers. But it also has led to a surge in lawsuits from those who say they were hurt, defamed or threatened by what they read, according to groups that track media lawsuits.
That hole that's inside me, that place with the wall, no chink in the mortar, no entrance at all. Then I discovered, protection or no, the danger is within, and nowhere to go. It fractured, saw daylight, for only a breath.

Hello gentlemen! The time has come for me to get back out in the dating and loving world! I got some advice from the interweb and decided to take a big breath and get to it! They say to be honest, be specific and be positive. NO problem. I call it like I see it. I do.

I was sitting at the computer killing time. Playing solitaire. I don't recall. The house was quiet. The radio playing softly in the background. A cigarette burning in the ashtray. I didn't hear him come up behind me. I felt it. He put a knife to my throat.

I am swimming. The little dock many yards behind me. I can see the shore. The forest. The beach. Friends. I can hear their laughter, see them running around, playing with a brightly colored beach ball. Some laying on the hot sand, some goofing off on the edge of the water.

In the eighteen months since the company at which my husband worked for almost 13 years closed, I have had as many as four jobs as a time. This makes it quite hard to be the mother of three children, two of whom have special needs.

Disconnected. This is how I feel right now. This happens every year for me. It's very common for people who suffer from depression or bipolar. Every year seems like it's the worst. Because you're in it. It's a dark place amid Christmas lights, smiling faces, giving.

About a year ago I turned 50. I started thinking about how I got where I am. How does a kid from the southeast side of Chicago end up with paintings on five continents, teaching art in Turkey? My teachers. Not the people who stood in front of classrooms or in studios - from them …
