My whole life I have only showered at night before bed, never used deodorant or any kind of perfume, and have never been told I smelled. And trust me, I have plenty of friends who would not hesitate to let me know if I stank. (They point out my farts or garlic breath all the time.) So, just showering at night can be…

Diatomaceous earth is the best! Cheap, natural and effective!

Preemptively sprinkle diatomaceous earth under the bed, in corners and along baseboards. That stuff works miracles because it pretty much kills anything with a carapace that attempts to enter my apartment. And it's all natural, so I don't have to worry about my dog touching it.

Thank you! As an asexual person, it gets kind of grating to constantly be bombarded with 'sex is the end all be all! have sex or you are a loser! don't have sex and you're weird! sex is fantastic and you should love it all the time forever!'

I agree. If your entire self-worth is based on what everyone else thinks of you, if you can't go 2 seconds without making a situation about you...it's sad, and maybe you need help

I usually think of pets too! Like my dog, who will start bouncing around and whining to be petted in that "look at me! pet me! I'm so cute! love me!" and well, that works for pets and maybe children, but grown ups kind of figure out that you don't always get attention just because you want it.

I've never really thought about attention whore being a gendered insult. I live in L.A. and call Mayor Villaraigosa an attention whore all the time because he's always inserting himself into press events, usually for no reason other than to have his name and face in the media.

Adorable!!!

I think Scalzi put it best regarding Kindle Worlds: In a nutshell, it's crap and don't do it.

Downtown LA and Hollywood for sure keep bars open until 2 a.m. It's not 4 a.m., but it's also not midnight.

I can't stand walking in ballet flats, there's no cushioning at all. Plus most of them look horrendous on me. But while I like pointy shoes, I also have giant square feet and pointy shoes hurt. Usually I have to compromise with a rounded-pointed toe.

Totally agree, and there's just no stopping the zoomies. I usually have to let her run it out in the hallway, but sometimes I take her to an enclosed backyard and let her run (with no other dogs around because she will literally run them over).

That's my baby!

My pooch is ready to start rating all your stores. XD

They should light it up like that all the time because it's gorgeous.

I was able to hold it together until that last "mommy" and then it suddenly got super dusty in my cubicle.

I'm usually the "tough bottle" opener in my family/group of friends because I apparently have a killer kung fu grip. So these lady hands can do the job just fine, thanks.

I think my prom had a thing where if you wanted to bring a date from outside of school, you had to provide that person's ID (school ID or otherwise) when you bought tickets. I guess so if that outsider caused trouble, they'd know exactly how to find and arrest that person?

I refused to do prom because everyone insisted I needed to spend money on flowers, renting a limo, getting a dress, doing hair/makeup...and that didn't even include the actual tickets to prom itself and the dinner+after party shit. I went out to see movies with my friend instead and spent a lovely evening chomping…

New commenting system is even worse than before.
