My bf saved like 20 little duckies from getting eaten by a fox yesterday. He is a damn hero! (yay duckies!)

I dunno girl. That friendship sounds toxic. It's draining you emotionally (and financially!). Last time I had a friendship like that, I let it fade out. I didn't "break up" with her, just let it fade into nothingness. Stopped replying to texts, phone calls, emails, etc...slowly slowly until I responded no more. That's…

My lovely (dumbass) cats drop their dry food into the water bowl all the damn time. I don't know how it keeps happening. Also, it's disgusting.

"Triumphant disdain" - Hahahaha that is such a perfect description of a cat look. Could describe maybe 25-40% of the faces my cats make.

I've been thinking about buying one for ages...and your comment convinced me, and I bought one! So...thanks internet stranger.

I felt bad enough when I realized my boyfriend had originally contacted me on OKC using a generic message (how did I not realize?!) and that he succeeded in getting a date with me through tips he found online (be nice but keep asking for a phone call). If I found out he had used a PUA "professional" to do that for him…

Yes seriously...I was looking forward to a variety of ages and body types. I suppose I was being naive!

Now that's some training I could get behind.

I'm sorry on behalf of all of us who take days to respond to emails and texts. I usually don't want to reply right away and get caught up in a text/email string, and then I forget.

Have you tried yoga? There are energizing practices as well as relaxing. You don't even have to do more than 15-20 min, just a few sun salutations or whatnot.

I think a wedding(s) should be personal to you and your partner. You should absolutely do what fits you, that's the only way you will feel ultimately satisfied! Plus I think you'd want to start your married life on your own terms.

And that is why you should learn to selectively delete your browsing history...! Haha.

Lord, I would say no too if I was proposed to on a jumbotron. Great point - the proposal (whether by him or her or whomever) is a great place to see whether your partner actually knows you. If they propose in a way that just does not reflect your personality or tastes, then maybe marriage isn't a good idea.

Me too! I do not want to be proposed to in public at all. I have this nightmare thought of him doing it in front of his family, because they're very close. I love his family, don't get me wrong, but I'd really like it to be a private thing.

The i09 article on this study is perfectly clear on those points, so I'm assuming it's just they don't understand how to read scientific papers.

Good thinking. The i09 article on this study is so much more clear on the purpose and methodology!

Jez... please stop trying to write about scientific papers. You're all trying, I know, but please stop.

Ya sure. It burned pretty bad for the first two weeks, and then after that it was okay. After that nothing happened for about 8 weeks (some weeks were even worse). Then just one day, they started disappearing. I don't really know exactly, just one day my left jawline had none left, and then the right side cleared up…

No real advice or stories but I've been thinking of how to reconcile similar issues in my relationship. You are so brave!

Yep - Tactuo (in Canada) or Epiduo (US). That stuff will make your face worse for 4-8 weeks but after that - clear sailing. I've had adult cystic acne for years and finally got rid of it with Tactuo. I still get the occasional zit but this stuff will get rid of it OVERNIGHT basically. The best!
