My partner got both of us the test for Valentine's Day; he wanted to find some relatives for me (I have never met my dad and know almost nothing about him besides his name), and for his own part, he thought at the time that he had a particular genetic disease (turned out he had a different one, which I think is…

Please share the results, if you feel comfortable. I would love to do this, too!

Me too! I've been wanting to do it for ages. I think even ancestry.com was coming out with their own testing as well. I still plan on doing it—should be exciting to see

23andme will only give you paternal DNA info if you're a male, or have a male blood relative do the test. Ancestry does both. (Both involve spitting into a vial.)

I am interested in doing this, but am a little confused. Does the ancestry tell you things about both your mom and dad or just your mom?

I did 23andme, and Ancestry. Super-cool.

I've been thinking about doing this for a long time. Just gotta get the funds!

Is Albert Alfred's brother?

One thing I do love about Florida is the one-subject rule. It's part of our constitution. Laws can be struck down if they cover more than one subject. Sometimes it makes legislating a bit tougher (for example, they are now trying to pass some medical marijuana laws that will probably take several bills to get…

Because of the way it is currently carried out. On principle I have absolutely no problem letting people like Ariel Castro fry.

Years ago when I worked in a lab, we would have technicians from the computer companies come in and fix stuff. Most were guys lugging huge tool boxes. However one time, a very elegantly dressed young black woman showed up. She snapped open her Gucci purse and smartly pulled out a set of screw drives and the like…

Er, those fetus dolls are some shit straight out of LSD-fueled boozy nightmares.

How about this for an idea. Instead of giving women a plastic doll why don't you give them a cheque for $100k for the baby that they may want to keep but can't because they already have two kids, a husband who can only find part time employment and a mortgage payment. Or maybe the $200 plus expenses that it will cost…

Congratulations!

I'll take Super Smash Kittens instead.

My mechanic once told me he decided to get into auto repair because he was raised by a single mother and he wanted to start a business where people like her could go without getting ripped off. I really liked him before that—he's always been incredibly informative and helpful—but that just made me adore him.

I'm having a similar reaction - but being that I am in a very dark place right now I find this haunting and moving and beautiful, in an admittedly sick and exploitative way.

Glad you made it out of that hard time. I hope you found some safe space to spend the night.

You'd see this sometimes in WOW. More often than not though, people found ways to handle it. If you were a hardcore raider, that meant you had to be attentive during a raid or it would go south right quick and everyone would get pissy. So, we would block out times for our raid and everyone would clear it with their…

Do you own a vibrator? I could be touching myself for hours to no avail, and when I first got my toy I came again and again, it was awesome. I'd recommend something with multiple speeds so you can experiment.
