Yeah. I had no idea how frustrating (and painful) it could be. I even had to stop wearing the foundation I liked (with built in SPF) because of allergic reactions. I’ve just been using the face stuff all over and so far no sunburn or hives, so hopefully this is my magic formula.

While I support these efforts, I also kinda want someone to address the elephant in the room: Now that we’ve beginning to acknowledge that excessively expensive college education is strangling the economy and hampering the prospects of graduates who are deep in college debt, and have begun to make tentative steps to…

Thanks for bringing this up. 10% of marriages worldwide are between first cousins. My aunt married her first cousin (her daughter is my first and second cousin). My great grandparents were cousins. More than one president has married his cousin. Cousin marriage is far more common among people from some parts of the…

I’ve been a middle school teacher for almost 15 years (God, really?), and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I love what I do, although teaching 11 to 13-year-olds isn’t most folks’ idea of a good time. But I love the surprises of my job, and, although it’s been a particularly rough week, I’m looking forward to…

I don’t get it. FB is where you share your life and interests, right? So why does a major part of my life have to edited out because someone has a problem? Is there a committee I need to run my status updates by just so I can get approval before posting? Right now I am a SAHM and I’m lonely, and I’m isolated and I’m…

The Episcopal Church, for one. Unitarian Universalism as well, I would expect. Reform Judaism, probably Conservative Judaism, as well, although with more of an eye toward traditional Jewish law (namely, the movement is strongly in support of maintaining Roe v. Wade and access to abortion, while acknowledging that…

I can't even begin to explain what all these articles about polyamory mean to me. My husband and I, after discussing it for YEARS, recently decided to open up a bit and let me start a thing with a mutual friend. We've been open and honest about everything, and it's definitely changed some things in our marriage for…

If there's a shop near you, go talk to them about vaping (e-cigarettes). I started about 3 years ago and in 2 weeks or so went from a pack a day to maybe 2-5 cigarettes. Assuming there's not a good shop nearby, Vapor4Life is a great company to go through. www.v4l.com

Part of the abuser's handbook is to simultaneously accuse the partner of cheating while beating their self-esteem down by telling them that no one else will ever want them and that only they will ever find anything to love in them while also cutting them off from their family and friends. Because many victims come to…

I've been praying non-stop for a sign from God if I myself am making a good choice on leaving my abusive boyfriend, at this very moment I'm packing my things hoping for a safe get away while he is at work, I am more scared then I've ever been, scared because I know he will come after me but also scared because I feel…

Shaka, when the walls fell..

Actually, the implication goes even further, if you think about it. If you're not drinking beer for the taste, you're drinking beer to get shitfaced. Budweiser is more or less implicitly stating its product exists for people who want to get wasted and don't care what it tastes like. That is perhaps more bracing…

Good stuff covering the bases for sure... if we are taking it to another level, a 1 or 2 liter charred barrel for aging a cocktail is an awesome addition. It's a cool conversation piece, you can throw a Manhattan or a Negroni or something else in there for a month and then bottle it, shake it, garnish it, and you…

I wrote this kind of thing as a kid too! My mom took me to therapists and the school staff put me in detention several times and out-of-school suspension once, for my creative writing. I remember being asked to write a Halloween story, so I did, and was very surprised when my "killer clowns mutilating innocent…

Was literally wondering last night, before bedtime, if there were a video of a woman being attended to by 2 (or more) men, in a very caring, sexy, All-About-Her sort of way. I watch threesomes/gang bangs, but those are for when I'm in a "fuck me senseless" mood. Where are the MMF porns for romantically-minded ladies??…

i mean i can't really take you seriously either considering your username is a disney channel show.

The virgin Mary was the immaculate conception in that she was born without original sin, the phrase doesn't mean being knocked up by God. Thus ends my pedantry for the day.

Craigslist is glorious. In Des Moines, there is a woman who cant seem to let her cheatin' ex go either. She posts ad after ad making general allusions to who the guy is and to who the new squeeze is too. Ive been following her messages for awhile now, usually on a Sunday. We should start a list of local Craigslist…

I know you're a flash in the pan troll, but that's generally not this site's agenga.

I'm not unemployed but I find I do a shit ton of housework on my days off, especially week days off (I work a 9-5 so I usually do not have weekdays off) while my boyfriend plays video games. It's always been kindof fascinating to me. I worked a few days between Christmas and New Years and I kept coming home hoping the…
