OK this is going to sound a little weird but it helps me because it is easy to remember within the context of a stressful conversation. Before the talk (which I hope is in person) I sit by myself and think about what vibe I want to give out: confidence, empathy, etc. and attach a color to it. Say patience is pink.…

I am sure you are right - and I should have listened to my urethra ;) I was eventually put on prophylactic antibiotics which was better but not ideal. Glad that whole thing is over.

I do not have an aesthetic problem with an uncircumcised man - I married one. Actually had quite a lot of giggles making his foreskin talk (ala Jim Carry - butt talk, yeah...I did that). However: UTIs up the UT...it was awful. For nine years. He cleaned, he scrubbed. Nothing worked. I used to wonder if I was just…

Done.

She is awful, and gets away with it regularly. I can not get past her hyperbolic rants at all any more. About 7 years ago she did a piece after spending some time with Canadian troupes in Afghanistan and it was pretty good. It was the last thing of hers I could read. I am glad to hear of the letters of complaint…

Tennessee is a definitely a cool name, and it can get confusing. Think: Evelyn (Waugh). You are free. Le smile.

That is a mighty fine point Seoul Sister.

I read the 'dance around' as her personal discomfort which I guess leads to the question of why did she bother then. But has it really come to - all out or nothing ? I thought it was adorably awkward. Not the best speech, but HER speech.

That was the only problem I had with Jodie Foster's speech. Slamming a child was unnecessary. I'm glad GLAAD did this.

Oh too funny - I just wrote out a vagina story so your response made me pause. Why would you stick your finger in your ear? OK. Deep breath. Heh.

The funniest I ever read was,

It just still seems so counter-intuitive though. When I am very happy I want lots of sex. When I am sad I want sex too...oh, just me then.

heh

I'm going to go with better. Ugh.

OK thanks, that helped. I was at first thinking, "Well...if the responders had a good time...they deserve it." But something still bugged me.

Nope. Nerds are sexy, but you do you!

Yeah they'd have to be pretty good friends! Makes me think of all the times people have handed me a glass of milk, "Can you taste this? I think it's gone bad." Me, "Umm, no." Check your ear wax! Mine is definitely dry.

O.M.G. Yes! Stress sweat IS different. I wonder which of the chemicals our bodies are producing during stress cause that.

Wow. Strength on you. You know, these were anectada type stories. I wonder if anyone has researched this?
