Most people I know who have had to deal with a shrieking infant have done everything in their power to get the shrieking to stop, because they are no more enamored of the horrible sound their child is making than you are. Sometimes there is literally nothing that can be done to soothe the child except to wait out the…

I once knew an Adolf. He was a VI. His parents didn't want to break such a long trend of Adolfs. They called him Duffy for short.

I like to celebrate Valentine's Day with my family, too! (My boyfriend and I have decided that we're going to celebrate Pi day instead, 3/14, since it is more likely that we will be able to be together then and it will be much less crowded at restaurants.)

I had basically the same reaction. I had to mute it.

I've worked very hard to try to make her more comfortable. There's been plenty of notice about things, and she's been made aware of things early. And she's shut them down just as quickly.

I think that might be part of it, actually.

So I'm in a really weird place right now. I'm trying to figure out how to reconcile making my sister, who is also my landlord, comfortable with my boyfriend, who does not live locally. Because I am a grown ass woman who can't have a man spend the night.

Physicist dating a chemist here. I told him that although I feel a little guilty about wanting diamonds, I enjoy the fact that they are colorless and have a high index of refraction. He knows I'd appreciate lab created, and then we got into a big discussion on sapphires and lasers.

My favorite picture of Liberace is him dressed as a giant vagina — erm, King Neptune.

Toys really are so much fun to buy! This is why I, a childfree adult woman, spent a bunch of money on other people's children. Although mostly I bought books, which they are likely to enjoy for years to come, it's really fun to buy these things for Christmas.

Wait. Wait. You couldn't figure out what she wanted without being told and this was a flaw? How were you supposed to figure it out? Telepathy? Consulting a psychic? Spying on her? None of that seems healthy.

I refuse to believe that thin people are constantly hungry, like I am when I'm on a diet. If I'm eating at the level required to lose weight, I am always always hungry. I wake up hungry. I go to bed hungry. I look longingly at leftovers after a meal because I am still hungry.

It's easy to be logical when you're not the one in the relationship, with all the emotional baggage involved.

I'd agree with the other guy that suggested SW:TOR. It's got a lot of story as you level up, so there's really no grinding at all as you work your way to level cap. There's a class story and planetary stories, and there's nothing too repetitive until you do get to 50. No spreadsheets or anything. The crafting system…

If you're a woman, your worth is measured entirely via your fuckability. Women the observer (male) wishes to fuck are clearly more valuable than women whom he does not wish to fuck. He's just doing the public a service by ensuring there are more women out there with a high fuckability factor.

Every time I hear that song, I think of this.

As a New Orleanian, I suspect that the real issue is not the message they were preaching but how loud they were preaching it, as well as whether they were blocking pedestrian traffic in an effort to relate their message. The French Quarter is a residential neighborhood, and they are really serious about keeping the…

When I was a toddler, my parents could not leave beer on low tables, else there I was to guzzle it down. I apparently loved the stuff.

Jessica looks really good here. She looks happy. She looks radiant. She looks fertile. Her breasts are large and her face is rounded, and she just looks lovely. She looks more natural and more comfortable than I've seen her in pictures for a long time.

My grandma is 97, and she has the same sort of issues.
