This part stuck out to me the most:

I'd do all 3 of them. Simultaneously if possible.

"The question was asked, 'What could make a woman become so dark? To lose all sense of her maternity, her womanhood, and her softness?'"

YES! i knew it would be a matter of seconds before we started talking about how this issue affects MEN.

why do people seem to think that learning self-defense and teaching men not to rape are mutually exclusive? no one is blaming the victim if she gets rape, anything she can do to protect herself is good. also no one is blaming rape victims for not knowing self defense. we can try to teach people not to murder or…

Amarillo ? Then we are talking sophistication and the interstate! South of you in Lubbock? Really big with many of our many churches. I don't understand it, find it creepy, and one of the many things I will be happy to leave behind when this job is done.

I agree about the hands-on-stomach pics because they look like the dads are spooning with their sleeping daughters. For this reason, I think I would still be squicked out even if I didn't know the context.

I imagine they are just as squicked out as I am, but they didn't feel they had any choice in the matter.

I totally agree on the connecting part. I have done acid about...oh sheesh like 6 or 7 times now? I'm a huge fan because I feel like it's that elusive high that weed and MDMA never made me feel. Just happy and open and kind of full of wonder. I only every do it while camping or at appropriate music festivals (like…

No, no, and no. I produced yearbooks for over a decade. I have seen thousands of senior pages and dad/daughter dances. None of those were as creepy as almost all of the ones I saw here. Absolutely disturbing.

You may be on to something there; I don't have ADHD but I do suffer from fairly severe depression and anxiety, so I've been on SSRIs for years. I wonder if they're the reason I'm so resistant to ecstasy's similar effect on my serotonin levels? (I've always heard not to mix MDMA and SSRIs for that very reason,…

So I guess I should discontinue my "Shave the Children" charity, then...

YES! I just went home to eat lunch and decided to change into sandals (because it's FINALLY starting to be spring-like) and after a 10 minute walk back to work I'm remembering that post-pregnancy my feet are now a 9, instead of the 8 I used to wear. Ouch!

Same!

Yes. For me, it was my cheeks and hands. Oh man. So uncomfortable. Ugh. I look like I'm going to pop in all the photos.

I think if her makeup artist didn't hate her, she would have looked just fine. It's the atrocious makeup.

I've tried this (I've got dyshidrosis [icky fluid filled bubbles in/on my skin that itch like mad] on my hands), and the coconut oil treatment doesn't work for me. :( I use coconut oil in other ways (waterproof makeup remover, body lotion, facial moisturizer, body scrub ingredient, hair masque, lip balm...), but it…

Oh, assne. The bane of cyclists in the summer.

You know, in your hurry to keep saying the same thing over and over again, you seem to be missing what I have been writing. I did not say that aspirin is made from willow bark anymore. I said that many people still use it instead of aspirin. I also said, explicitly, that being natural does not make something better,…
