If I'm dieting, and they're scarfing down chocolate in front of me... that just won't end well.

I could tell you stories about working as a minor in the restaurant business that would shock you out of your shoes. I started waiting tables at 16, and the boss had me mixing and serving drinks. SO illegal, even back then (nearly 20 years ago, now.) And that's on the minor end of things!

They sell the little cigars in 2 packs, so I've never understood why cigarettes didn't have a 2 or 5 or 10 pack, either. I'd totally buy a 2 or 5 pack on those occasions when I go out for drinks (only time I smoke these days, so once a month or every couple months) because I don't want a whole pack hanging around!

Heat it slowly in a shallow saucepan, stirring pretty much constantly with a fork or whisk. Add a little broth or water if it's still too thick, and keep stirring.

Ouch.

I just laughed until I cried, imagining horse eggs...

Ooo-de-LALLY. I watched that movie so much I wore out the video. Totally had a crush on Robin.

I read fiction and non-fiction, but I tend to go through periods of reading exclusively one or the other. I'm a huge history and sociology nerd. But yeah, basically, as long as the potential partner reads SOMETHING, I'm good with it.

"what would you know"?????? OMG. It's not like it's, oh, your parts or anything... Good Lord. Some people's children.

It does matter that we speak up and tell our stories. I kept silent for far too long, and a lot of other bad things happened in my life that I now believe are directly related to this first rape (oh, yes, that was not the only one). I'm also so glad that these girls have their mothers there for them.

I did the same thing when I was 17. I consensually had sex with the guy who had raped me 3 times in 24 hours about a week later. And then he raped me again. And I willingly had sex with him again. It was an endless cycle of misery and fucked-up-ness for 6 months.

That's horrible. I am so sorry that you had to experience that.

That was the bit that really broke my heart, too. Even more so because I really do know how it goes.

The idea of eating a ball of straight wasabi is the first thing I've read in all these comments that legit made me gag. NO. NONONONONO.

I like you :)

I think I love you.

Hear, hear. I can't either.

That is... amazing. In a totally gross way. I think the worst part is that I know someone who would eat that. I'm never telling him about this, because I don't think I could stand watching him eat it!
