Leta, I promise I will pay for ALL of your therapy bills

Ok you can’t insert html here. See if this works:

You insert it in the [ panties ] [ / panties ] tag.

Girl A.! Metro! People are getting picked on. There is injustice in the world. Tell me to calm my ass down!

Girl A- you do feed your blog tequila bottles and uses maxi pads for bibs, right? No?

(I got so confused trying to find where in the html code you’d attatch a maxi pad.)

Visiting by way of article in NYT. You guys need to get your shit together and get off this website. You’re fucking drones.

What abuses has Heather suffered by way of her religion? Her family seems pretty together. What does her experience with religion have to do with pedophile priests? Or Iran?

Get a life.

…correct me if I’m wrong
are you saying that kids are there to make fun of?

sounds self-indulgent to me

You got it Bucky. lol

P.S. Along the lines of your Iran comment:
Shame is a learned behavior.
Shame is the primary tool of fascists everywhere, organized or individuals.

Somewhere in between, Girl.A?

So. . .you eat pharmaceuticals and forcefeed shit to your blog?

Now I’m all confused.

Bucky! You said it!

One of the side-effects with writing comedic is that there are a few people who will take you 100% seriously and agree with you.

Another one is that a few people will take you 100% seriously and disagree with you.

Even though they both got “you” wrong.

I don’t really eat shit or forcefeed my blog pharmaceuticals you know. Just to clarify. It’s somewhere in between.

Now that seems to be a bit of gang mentality there Amanduh!!

When God smites byes ass she will be singing a different tune. LMAO. We are ALL going to burn in hell I am afraid.

Bye- damn it. You don’t get it. We don’t come to Dooce.com because we think we “know” Heather. We come here because it brings us joy.

We visit other web sites that we love, and would jump someones shit there too if they were behaving in an cruel/insane manner.

It’s perfectly fine not to agree with Dooce about everything. It’s different to attack her character or her parenting. Or her child!

If you didn’t notice, around election time there were a lot of people commenting here that had very different opinions. By the end almost everyone was able to have those differences and still play nice. Play nice- ringing any bells?

No? How about this? “Fuck off” and “SUCK IT”! And *buh-bye*.

You know what happens when citizens just sit back and keep their mouths shut about the abuses they see committed by religious institutions? We become Iran!

Happy Birthday Leta!

All I know is that if you feel religion is screwed up then you should be able to say so.

Priests were on a molesting spree so what…we should all keep that hush hush so as not to fan the flames?

Troll out the barrel. . .

I stumbled across this website a few months ago and was intrigued with the story of Heather’s “dooce” experience. I liked her writing style and found myself sucked into her accounts of her battle with depression, as I myself have children and have suffered from PPD and chronic depression. But over time, I have become disgusted with this site, with Heather’s prejudice against a religion, her defensiveness, and with all of your fanaticism. I mean, WOW.

Now don’t get me wrong. I don’t agree with Holly. I think she was rude and insensitive, but it was her opinion, and Heather does allow comments, so these kinds of hateful comments are to be expected, especially when you “bare your soul” with a readership as widely publicized as dooce.com.

My point is, with a few exceptions, none of you actually KNOW the Armstrongs. Heather is a persona; you see pictures, you read her stories, but YOU DON’T KNOW HER. You don’t! You know you don’t! You can’t.

Mark Twain said that most writers regard truth as their most valuable possession, and therefore are most economical in its use. Heather is an awesome writer. VERY talented. But she doesn’t tell you everything, regardless of her open writing style. Why should she?

Yet you are quick to CRUCIFY anyone who in any way crosses her. You rally the forces, you spend countless hours of your precious time telling people YOU DON’T KNOW to fuck off and suck it for daring to criticize a blogger you’ve never met. You obsessively compliment her site, her husband, and her daughter (a legitimate cutie-pie, BTW) and play yes-men to her every column. Can she ever be wrong? Would you admit it?

Oh, and before you waste countless hours crucifying ME, never fear, I will not be coming back. Save your (typewritten) breath as your hate mail will be in vain.

(Good luck, Heather. You inspire many women with your stories about battling depression. It is actually more compelling then your “dooce” story. But chill out on Mormons. Posters who have been flogged before for saying it were right and you know it. Just because you had a bad experience with a religion doesn’t give you the right to fan the fires of hatred. Even if you are being cynical and silly, people take you seriously.)

I think Holly has a very strong point about Dooce’s ‘PPD’ AND about smearing chocolate all over Leta’s face.
so, as a newcomer to this site (thanks to NYT) I’ll love and leave you all at that.

I just have to say, I wish I had this support when I went through getting help for depression. I had PPD after each of my 2 children. Depression wasent something talked about in my family, although, years later (kids are 10 and 6) my sisters and I talk about it more, and its more accepted. I felt so alone and like a freak because I had to take antidepressants. Now, who the fuck cares. Its better to get help! My children are both highly functional individuals, very intelligent, excelling in school, but as per holly, they shouldnt have been born.
I went off antidepressents when my youngest was about 1 year, back on them when I divorced, off them for a while, back on them when I started law school. Let me tell you…without this medication my children would be alot worse off, and if I chose not to take them, my life would suck big time.
From this website, I have learned that depression dosent have to been a hidden secret. I just recently admitted to my significant other that I take this medication, and I was afraid to. He was awesome. Thought it was no big deal. BUT! I know he reads Dooce. That made me feel safer, because he never said anything judgmental about Dooce.
Heather, you give people courage and strength. Thank you

beautiful. just beautiful. she looks like she has no idea of what just happened. =)

happy birthday, leta!
