Louis C.K. and Saturday Night Live

 Re: Louis CK's SNL monologue about child molestation. For a man who claims that he lives in service to his children (NPR interview on Fresh Air), I wonder if he would find the topic the slightest bit funny if one of his children were molested. I will warn you, I am PISSED, and I'm not holding back.

Quotes by Beth Fehlbaum  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Self worth is about believing that you as a person have value. If you are depending on others to provide that feeling for you, you're going to be just like a broken cup. No matter what other people say or do, it'll just leak out through the cracks in your self worth. People try to seal up the cracks in all kinds of ways.”
Beth Fehlbaum, Big Fat Disaster

Carrie Hi Beth

How is everything going?

I was supposed to add this message with my invitation, sorry, my computer skills are sadly lacking!

Hi Beth, Greetings from England! I am sorry I have been so busy on promotions and rarely get the pleasure to indulge myself on this site but I just wanted to invite you personally to listen to the BBC, who invited both myself and 8 Joni-Pip avids to appear on their show Go4it!
It's probably impossible to listen to the BBC in the US but I wanted to invite you anyway.
I hope all is going well with you!

message 13: by Gina

Gina I think the whole 'add a story' thing is so that people see how you met the friends you have on Goodreads - whether someone sent you a 'friendship request' or if you knew someone from before. *shrug* I write 'em as I see 'em...
