This so reminds me of the year the family bought Oma an email-only device, as she liked the concept of keeping in touch with the grandkids and getting pictures and all that, but wasn't up for a full-scale computer. Her first month of emails were pretty much on the line of "Hi, all I don't know what I'm doing or if…

OMG "saving the paper." Every friggin' year. "Don't rip that paper, I want to save it!" Somewhere out there is a massive storage unit filled with neatly torn Christmas wrapping paper that my mother is saving for godonlyknowswhat.

Twice this year, my mother commented on how nice the paper was and wasn't it a shame we couldn't save it. Oh, moms.

something like 90% of people don't register their pets' microchips, or keep the info current. That's if they have chips in the first place. If the vet did call the chip company (with Evil Parasite lady standing right there), and it were registered, it would probably have shown the neighbor's address, so likely one…

It is a little morally sketchy, but unfortunately the law treats animals as property, so as an owner you can do whatever you want with your property. A vet can, however, refuse to euthanize if they feel strongly enough that they shouldn't, but many don't feel it's their place to say so. And really if someone is hell…

Yes! This is what I experienced too—that attitude that it isn't a big deal for a woman not to be able to orgasm due to medication side-effects, like it wasn't a huge diminishment of the quality of life to not have any orgasms (I wonder if they are so dismissive of men when they have these problems?). For the medical…

You know, that happened to me, too, when my blood sugar was high. And, yes, it was horrible. And there exist tons of literature for men about high blood sugar affecting erections; and they all claim it to be different for women (because women's orgasms are this ineffable, mysterious chimera based on so many abstruse…

FUCKING THANK YOU.

Can we fucking stop with this shit? All this talk. All these articles about how sex can be great, suuure, without orgasms. ONE LITTLE DETAIL in all these articles though - almost all the women who don't come with their man are usually getting themselves off alone. I don't know about anyone else, but when I MASTURBATE,…

You really can't imagine yourself being a giraffe?? I could! Free your mind, and the rest will follow! Also, my holiday wish for you is multiple O's. I think that's why I look 10 years younger than I actually am. ;-)

I am an incredibly orgasmic woman, and even more so once I hit mid-thirties—BOOM! Like a whole new woman lept out from between my legs!!!

the orange one is being supportive of the orange and white one's Weight Watchers pledge.

"A green badge indicates that you're happy to socialize with strangers, yellow means you only want to talk with people you already know and red tells everyone that you'd rather be left alone. "

It's Norwegian BLACK metal, not death metal. Jeez, mom.

Over the years, though, the ability to adore something that much and that fearlessly has become lost to me. Maybe it's just a sacrifice of maturing, but I can't help but feel desperately sad about it as I watch the bronies—the ones who somehow managed to hang on to that unadulterated excitement as they've gotten…

Except there's also an element of sexism to Bronies' protestation that it's NOT a show meant for little girls, it's SO MUCH COOLER THAN THAT. And there's a shit-ton of sexism in the way Bronies frequently act.

Is this a tampon skull and crossbones because that is wonderful.

Rule 34 my friend, Rule 34. It's like The Force. It's energy surrounds us and binds us.

Yes, there is a dark side to the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom: bronies who sexualize the cartoon (if you want some NSFW examples, here you go) are known as "cloppers." But, as one brony reluctantly tells me with a sad, little shrug, "It's a disappointing inevitability of any fan community."

I have a really really hard time believing none of this isn't about hebephilia at its heart. Like the breed of anime that involves cutesy but underage and hypersexualized girls, the cartoon image is a stand-in; it isn't the drawn image you find hot, its the ideas - the nubile, nymph quality of naive teen girls. These…
