Me neither! Cinna and his gold eyeliner give me life.

My (white) ex went to a wedding in a small Southern town before he met me. He said one guy was talking about a neighborhood that was "colored." This was a 30something guy in, like, 2002. And my ex made a face and the guy said "Don't worry, I have a good friend who's colored," and my ex, to his credit, said "Does he…

Will do/have done: threesome with two (bi) men, swallow, light bondage, light spanking, cum on my face (nothing in my facial orifices), pearl necklace, polyamory

It was required of me too and I'm only 4 years older than my brother. I asked my parents to pay me for it and they laughed - it was just part of my job as a member of our family. I was allowed to take paid babysitting work over watching my brother (I made a fucking mint as a babysitter in my tweens, teens, and early…

Ha, I had to teach a guy to do laundry freshman year. He was the only child - a son, no less - of a very traditional Italian SAHM so he had virtually no domestic skills. At least he learned and didn't, like, send his laundry home (and he could have, we were in NYC and he was from Jersey). My parents taught me to do…

I'm single and I would hit that like the wrath of God. I'd feel guilty (for a minute) because I respect Michelle Obama a great deal, but I'd totally do it.

That's her uncle holding her. He's a friend. This photo is about a year old.

I know that guy! That's his niece he's holding. He posted this on his FB - it's old. Her hair just ... did that, all the time. I had a coworker whose son had perpetual static hair - wouldn't lie down no matter what she did.

And I thought the Bay Area was more liberal & integrated! I had an easier time in NYC, but then I met more people organically, not online.

To be fair, that's not what it's called exactly. I was paraphrasing.

NYC when I first tried OKCupid, Philly now.

I'm a black woman who is online dating (I'm on Match now, was on OKCupid a few times - I'm not doing OKCupid again, it just didn't work for me). Attractive, intelligent, gainfully employed, funny - a good catch. And I always look at the "preferred race" section first, because it's very very common to see every race…

Happens all the time. As I've said before, I had to put something in my OKCupid profile forbidding men from sending me dick pics. Sometimes men would open with it; very often we'd be exchanging perfectly nice messages and boom! Dick pic. Just the dick, no full-body shot. If I ask, send away (and I have never asked);…

Noosa is the shit. The shit. It's so expensive though!

Right? And excessive heat absolutely kills people. Happens every heat wave. Just read about a casualty in Philly.

My go-to is "When you talk, make sense" but I am adding this into the rotation. Your husband sounds awesome.

Angelou. Damn auto-correct.

I've known a few ugly babies. (Post-newborn. All newborns are alien-looking.) My calculus teacher's first born was ugly until he was a toddler. (Her second born was gorgeous.) One of my friends, same thing. She's growing into her looks - she looks like her dad, who is the more attractive of her parents, but it did not…

I remember the one whose babydaddy goes to the hospital. They tried to get the morning-after pill but balked at the cost ($50. You know what costs more than $50? Babies). Then they were going to put the baby up for adoption but changed their minds - but really, SHE changed her mind because dude didn't want the kid. He…

Amen to all that, especially the part about the hotness.
