  • Another shrill and hysterical parent

    Honestly, I get severely bored with parents insisting that children's films are too frightening. When we think back to the classic children's films of yesteryear, they range from the severely bizarre (Most of the Disney movies) to flat out terrifying (See Fantasia or The Wizard of Oz).

No, I'm not an ...

  • Dying for Love; or While Making It!

    Hopefully, there will be a follow up as to this story. It clearly shows that Dorothy was cognitive enough to make a statement for ALL TO SEE if her voice was not heard by boycotting the meals long enough to lose 21 pounds! It is common of many anorexics to begin their behavior of starvation, as means to communicate a pain they feel unable to ...
