Mine is awful - I wouldn't have said so when I first started my relationship with my SO, but eventually my life started to resemble Everybody Loves Raymond. The woman is manipulative, passive aggressive and VERY VERY bossy. FIL is no saint himself as I've mentioned. I think it doesn't help that my own parents don't…

That is so true - I used to get really frustrated when my SO wouldn't tell his parents to lay off, but of course, they have been bullying him his whole life and he's just used to it! He did eventually back me up though - just a pity it took his father being EXCEPTIONALLY rude to me in order for that to happen!!

Japan is a wonderful but pricey, pricey place. I would rather have the money for when I get there, but am totally stingy.

I just learned, via Venus the chimera cat, that most marmosets are chimeras!!

Yeah I am not into it either, it seems to me that you are forced into a box according to your apparent gender. You are even uniformed according to this and this could be really damaging for people who consider themselves somewhere else on the gender continuum.

Though I definitely am sceptical about what vets learn about regarding animal nutrition at vet school, I actually did learn this at university - I'm not just spouting shit. We were told several times that complete diet in the form of kibble was healthier than wet food. My cats won't even touch wet food, and they drink…

Think nothing of it. :)

That fetus is at least voting age by now

Of course - my comment was meant for the general audience - like anyone reading this: please don't get your cat declawed. It sucks and there are other things you can do.

I thought it was a "good cop/bad cop" and cops eating donuts kind of joke. I mean, I didn't think it was very funny/clever but I certainly didn't think about vaginas.

Yeah a friend of mine had to take a month's worth of these in one go, as our backwater town had no morning after pills available. More women should know about this IMO but I guess they don't "trust" us with the information...

"shaving in places where hair is not all that attractive to find" is also kind of "fake" when you think about it. No woman ACTUALLY has no hair in their armpits, legs or cooch.

My boyfriend is guilty of the wet hair in bed thing, because he has long hair. But he also leaves wet towels on the bed. He does "man things" and "woman things"! He is such a modern guy.

Me too. My "Animorphs" was The Babysitters Club. I have tried reading them as an adult and they are absolute shit. I think the same would probably be true of Ermahgerd Gersbermps.

You want your child to grow up without body dysmorphia issues? Buy them Sylvanian Families instead, problem solved.

Yeah I think it's still pretty despicable - I'm an "illegitimate" child and I'd love for someone to explain to me how that's my fault.

Could such behaviour not also be considered an altruistic act toward the seller? This behaviour drives up the price of the item to the seller's benefit, and so long as the person does not actually win the auction, the cost to themselves is only potential. So I guess not truly altruistic at all, but not spiteful either.

Yeah my cat is on Amytrip from time to time and it really mellows her out and stops the nervous peeing. I don't find that feliway diffuser very useful, if that's what you mean by calming machine?

Oh please, please never have your cat declawed - the procedure is the same as having the very end of your fingers removed. :( Just buy a couple scratching posts and a water gun for when they go the couch. Or you can get those little caps put on that they showed on Queer Eye one time.

I respectfully disagree with this just a tiny bit - first of all the common issues are urinary, not "kidney" problems, and secondly, the wet food probably doesn't help with this at all. Prescription diets for cats with such issues are invariably kibble based (my cat is on one of these currently), and wet food contains…
