Yep, the basic rules for us are honesty, we have to know where the other is if someone won't be home that night, and safe sex. Should an actual relationship begin, all partners must get along (and no bunny boilers!) due to the fact that we have kids and don't need extra drama.

My youngest son did the same thing!

Oh, brilliant. Aside from the obvious issues (Native kid, religious reasons, etc.) let's take this kid who's really enthusiastic about going to school and being a big kid and learning new things, and shame him in front of his peers and send him home for a really, really stupid reason. I'm sure he'll be super…

I sent this link to my husband. I have a feeling that when he gets paid, we're going to Arby's.

Right?!?

I have had many stories about this place, but...

The only thing I can think of right now are the vast amount of bug bites they must get.

Size 16 is that awkward size where you think things will fit you, but they only sometimes do. I have a full range from 16-20 in my closet right now, that all fit, and I'm never sure what size I actually am. Are those large 16's? Are they small 20's? Am I really an 18? I never know. I just know that I don't dare buy…

I apologize for my phrasing. The "no harm no foul" was intended to mean in a romantic sense, that there was no real attachment between the people involved, so divorce wasn't injurious to either party.

I've actually known a few people who've done just that, too. She gets insurance, he gets married benefits, they get divorced eventually, no harm no foul. Personally, I don't agree with it, but I'm not the one who needed knee surgery (one girl I knew), so I just shut my mouth.

"Actually, it just goes to show how much easier it is to get ahead when you're already ahead."

Wait... the Army prohibits you from using cloth diapers? Wtf? I've never heard this before. Is it completely forbidden? Or do you mean on-base daycares and schools prohibit using cloth?

I suppose that tropical fruit found in a Wisconsin grocery store would be sub-par compared to, well, tropical fruit just about anywhere tropical. I paid $5 for just the one, too! They are gorgeous, I just couldn't get over the creepy mouthfeel and bland taste. If I'm ever in a place they are native to, I would try…

That's impressive.

Really? I tried dragon fruit once and it was, frankly, nasty. Not sweet at all and filled with tiny seeds, with the texture of styrofoam.

Pineapple makes my mouth feel raw after a few bites. Canned is easier to handle than fresh, and the juice is ok, but fresh pineapple makes my tongue feel like it's going to bleed. I love it, but... damn. Ow. I've noticed that kiwi's do the same thing. About half a kiwi is all I can handle.

The mental image is more than sufficient *shudders*

So many good ideas here! I'm late to the party, as usual, but here's mine:

My husband does the quick-n-dirty version of this... spread garlic btter on hot toast, pile on cold spaghetti with sauce, and sprinkle on some parm cheese-in-a-can.

That sounds like pretty much the same way I make chili (tomatoes, beans, onions, garlic, spices, meat/not meat, whatever veg is around). Have you ever tried this with diced sweet potatoes? It's delicious! Just peel and dice a raw sweet potato, and sauté it with the onion in a bit of oil or bacon fat until lightly…
