I had Scarlet Fever too. When I was 29. I guess we're hip together.

The smell of egg and beer warming up on someone's skin would be disgusting enough, adding face licking just takes it to that next level.

I've been a vegetarian for years, but my girlfriend is not. Before we met, she ate a lot of meat and when we first stated dating, she wasn't exactly how to make dinners vegetarian. I have to say, after two years of veggie cooking, she's amazing at it! She rarely cooks meat anymore, because it's too much of a hassle to…

Meat production is awful for the environment. I'm a long-time vegetarian, but I understand everyone isn't going to stop eating meat today. If everyone could reduce their meat intake to only a few days a week, however, it would make a huge difference. Some places are trying to encourage a "Meat-free Monday". I hope…

I totally do the no makeup when I want to call out sick too, but I do it the day before I know I want to call out sick! It works like a charm.

Did anyone else think this sounded kinda like the racist version of Dead Milkmen's "Stuart"?

I can't believe so many people like Katy Perry's outfit. I think everything about her whole get up is wrong. Everything. (except her grandma)

When I was working at my first job and making jack-shit, I managed to go on three European vacations (in 6 years). Now, I'm extraordinarily lucky, because I have next to no college debt. I didn't get any money for college from my parents, but I was lucky enough to have scholarships and grants that covered a big chunk…

Yes, exactly. People need to be trained to handle blood and no one should leave their blood around. I worked part time at a hospital at the time and I was like "but, but, but bloodborne pathogens." I get severe bloody noses and I make sure no one else has to ever come in contact with my blood, cause it's nasty and…

She was in college at the time, so hopefully she has stopped that insanity by now that she's a real adult (and if she hasn't, I sure hope she moved to a different city, so I never have to encounter anything she's touched).

I have no earthly idea. She was nuts, apparently. Yay womanhood and all, but keep your blood off my fucking seat.

I actually heard a crazy feminist* argue that women should just bleed out, because using tampons or pads (or Diva Cups, I assume) to hide you blood was letting a misogynist society shame you about menstruation. She actually said she brought a rag to clean up her blood spots on bus seats on heavy days. And if it ran…

Growing up, my parents always told me that coffee and beer were "acquired tastes" and that eventually I would learn to love them. At 30, I can't get enough beer (sorry waistline), but coffee still grosses me out. Which I'm happy about, actually, because coffee seems like a lot of work. Team Tea all the way!

Perhaps, or perhaps they will do something rash like attempt suicide (which is common when people are first diagnosed), resume drug use they may have stopped (which can spread the disease to other users), or start drinking heavily (which can lead to risky sexual decisions) because they see no point in living. My…

I have mixed feelings about this. It's great because more people need to be tested and getting tested at home will (hopefully) increase that, but I also think it's a really bad idea to get results like this at home, alone. My best friend does HIV counseling and they won't tell people HIV results over the phone,…

Never seen Terminator, but Nick Stahl was amazing in Carnivàle. I hope he's okay.

Too nervous to say hi to a pretty girl? Celebrities; they're just like us!

Well, then you wouldn't be telling them even if you were (are) straight, so you'd be outside of what I was saying. My point is that queer people need to be as open about their queerness as straight people are about their straightness. Many, many people talk about their lives and partners at work, which is why I said…

"how often my friend and other homosexual people edit their statements just to not incidentally "come out" to more and more people." This exactly. I'm a gay person and people always say "I don't announce I'm straight when I first meet someone, why should you?" It's not the announcing, it's the constantly understanding…

And yes, you need to "come out" to your boss, relatives, etc, as long as it is something you would do if you were straight. The point is that we treat queerness as normally as we treat straightness, which means comfortably mentioning our partners at work, just like straight people do and not avoiding saying "my…
