God yes...you have just given hope that every fantasy I've had since the age of 15 COULD happen. Clearly not, but maybe...Maybe. :)

No, K. Carl, you did not left "as friends." Sorry, boo boo. He left with his head held high, hijacking your (albeit feeble) attempt at racial dialogue, and probably bragging about showing your uppity ass who's boss in the GOP. You, on the other hand, left visibly frustrated, and probably thinking about how to save…

I agree! She's in serious danger of slipping into "Fat Elvis" territory. :/

For sure. Mariah's even doing a pretty good job at this. There's a time where you have to realize that, in order to preserve your legacy, you have to step away. (Like, Cher's post "Believe" era, where she became pop's sort of kooky Great Aunt, or Aretha post-"Rose is Still a Rose," or Barbara and Diana for like,…

Wow. Thanks for the clear explanation. I've only heard it described by disgruntled people as "payment to keep him/her in the house I PAID FOR," and the like. :)

Honest question: Is alimony the payment that's supposed to preserve the lifestyle that a former spouse has "grown accustomed to," on the other spouse's salary? Is that a real thing/is alimony different?

I'm calling troll here.

It makes me sad. I remember seeing him out about a couple of times, maybe ten years ago, and being struck by how real he looked. (Male designers can really go overboard with the cosmetic procedures, and not just Calvin Kleing and John Galliano, either. If it wasn't for that tight little body, I'm convinced Mark…

I have a couple. :)

Right, I know! If anything, I've always been jealous of how women are able to be aroused and actually enjoy it. Once I'm aroused, I've got to...climax. There's no middle ground. Most male sexual activity (straight and gay) is about getting to the destination, not enjoying the journey. Kinda sucks...

Hey, I just wanted to say that I appreciate your honesty. I'm gay, but far from the Chelsea/WeHo/Boystown ideal. And yeah, if I saw a note, complete with illustration even, I'd be nothing but fully stoked all day. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't have the exact same reaction. I felt like shit right afterwards,…

I actually worked for the American office of a Chinese electronics/office supply manufacturer, and you are right on target. Their economy is supplier-centric, not customer-centric like ours. Whereas Western companies fall over themselves to keep the public abreast of product linueup changes, Chinese companies do.…

I could watch this forever. (It's how I feel so damn much of the time...) :/

Thanks, that's good to know. I was seriously doubting that I would ever be a functioning member of society ever again. :/

Girrrrl, yes! I was afraid of it a little because of past addictions (aren't we a fun bunch?!) but there's nothing addictive, per se about the high. It's just that each moment of life isn't its nadir, y'know?

Holy shit, I am on Wellbutrin right now and it is fucking saving my life. I feel bad because I feel like I must be setting myself up for a reaaaallly bad comedown, but where has this shit been all my life?

I know exactly what you mean. My little Otis has been a friend, as well as a lifesaver for me. Before getting him, I was on a self destructive streak, consumed with "me" and "my baggage" and "my (toxic) wants and desires." Then, through a crazy set of circumstances, I wound up with a knobby kneed black lab/pitbull…

This.
