That's why in my ads I'm always clear that I am drug and disease free, but I am open to Dungeons & Dragons. I'll even bring my own d20's.

Oh god, those people are the worst. "Sorry if you're offended but I don't mince words, I'm just brutally honest!" And the 'just being honest' defense is always used to justify the most transparently insecure, defensive and dishonest acts of verbal cruelty. Here's a tip: brutally honest people are honest enough to…

This is really sweet, but... my first thought was "Man, how many batshit crazy people are going to read this, decide it's the most romantic thing ever, and then silently seethe with resentment and passive-aggressive hostility as each day passes and their clueless S.O. fails to throw them their dream Pinterest wedding…

That is a really interesting observation — food is one thing we can control, and in a time where we feel out of control with what is happening around us, we look to the places in our lives where we can exert influence?

Why is it that as our country seems to be grinding to a halt environmentally, financially, and politically, we've become more and more inwardly focused? We're not going to be politically engaged, but we will become crazed foodies? As if the food will purify us and protect us from all the bad things happening around…

Every time I write about a Vampire Diaries star I feel like Buffalo Bill trying to imitate Catherine Martin's screams while she is down in that well in Silence of the Lambs.

You can't even tell the difference between "there", "their", or "they're".

How in the hell can we expect you to tell the difference between real breasts and hyper-sexualized and objectified fantasy breasts?

This lady has her own tits, so I'd say she has quite a bit more experience than you. Maybe you should close the free porn sites and try seeing some women naked in person!! Be prepared for endless disappointment.

Yes! I have a four month old and her smell is intoxicating. My husband says the same thing. I'm sad though because my three year old son is starting to smell more like BOY than BABY. So you know, like feet.

Shit, I still do that with my 11 and 9 year old. It never goes away. Caressing the cheeks and kissing the neck? BEST THING EVER. I raised my 30 year old sister. I was so in love with her cheeks and sweet hands that I still have to resist the urge to grab her hand and kiss it like she's still my little baby.

I feel like that about my husband. His natural smell is so good that I have to squidge him. I like smelling him and I just want to mesh into him at times.

Plus, smell and taste are really closely linked.

Yes, must eat and become one is absolutely it. I've experienced it with babies, significant others and animals and it's almost a desperate urge to merge into one.

This is so interesting. In the beginning of my relationship with my now husband, I had that kind of feeling. Like i just really liked smelling his skin and I even used to bite him, like his arm, like I'm gonna eat him. I just.. had to do it. That feels weird saying it out loud.

I think you're onto something with this. I get this urge to snuggle my niece so tightly that she'll just become part of me. I've never felt this way about other babies, but I have felt like that about friends, lovers, even companion animals that I love very much. It's visceral, primal - this need need to be close to,…

I agree, I think it's a very primal urge and as humans we don't know how to deal so we're like MUST EAT, BECOME ONE.

JLD is just beautiful, talented, and wonderful. <3

Yep. I suspect a lot of "Leaning In" comes from this feeling that it's "rebellious" to not want it all, and that maybe we really are meant to be in the home if we can't all be CEOs. I get down on myself constantly because, at 25, I'm not in my dream career. And for months and months I was beating myself up over it,…
