Aw that’s an awesome story!

I have a classic name that has not been popular in several generations, and have enjoyed the rarity of it. Anordinaryboy and I have long wanted to name any future children after amazing old people in our lives, such as my great-aunt and his godmother. The names are great, easy to spell and pronounce, and uncommon in…

Oh wait, I just saw your screen name. I’m still getting used to the influx of trolls from Gawker!

It’s really not that hard... unless you’re blacking out, as she was.

What’s even sadder is she hadn’t even had PIV intercourse with him previously - she testified that she’d given him a blow job earlier that week specifically because she didn’t want to have intercourse with him - because she liked him, and wanted to please him, but didn’t want to go all the way.

You’re right that culture has changed. I was a senior in college in 1999, and at least at my wealthy and conservative campus, affirmative consent was not a concept that was broadly discussed (except among the small number of women who hung out at the women’s center on campus).

Cotton and linen! Beautiful patterns! Sigh... I just wish it came in plus sizes.

Yes, this is giving me flashbacks to my room senior year. I lived off-campus in a group house, in a crumbling old Victorian. I lived in what had been the maid’s quarter, right above the kitchen. For furniture, my adult sister gave me her old queen-size futon, though the mattress had been destroyed at some point so it…

Do you really think a divorced woman could become president? I can’t imagine it, anymore then I can imagine an openly atheist president

No, no flaming - just a giggle. You really think we all failed to see any irony here? In fact, we are getting a deep pleasure out of the turnabout. See, here’s the thing... reading Thighlights on Jez was the first time in 30-some-odd years on this earth that I’d ever seen women talking about male athletes this way. I…

Aw, that was mean! I’m sorry :(

Just found out a few days ago that my friend’s ex-husband killed her dog the year before they divorced, as a way to punish her. I knew he was kind of a depressed grump, but was stunned to find out he was on such another level of cruel. So I’m worrying a lot about their kids!

Kelly, no! Just because Chip and Joanna have overused shiplap till we all wanna scream, don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I agree. I also think it had something to do with the huge fuss being made over celebrating American history for the bicentennial in 1976.

You are my hero - love that you were brave enough to take that on! I bet they look awesome.

You are correct! I work at an architectural salvage organization, and we sell vintage plumbing fixtures online. Over the last year, we’ve started to get requests for mid-century colors like Mamie Eisenhower Pink, Surf Green, and Powder Blue . Every month we send several tub, sink, & toilet sets to designers in places…

As someone in deconstruction and building materials reuse industry, I get so cranky at many DIY shows. But Nicole rocks, she respects the homes and the cool old materials.

Hi, salvage nerd / treehugger here to bore you! Just wanted to correct a common misconception, which is that old windows should always be replaced.

I sometimes buy Princess Awesome dresses for my bonus niece, because she loves heavy machinery, outer space, and insects, but she also loves wearing dresses. http://princess-awesome.com/collections/gi…

Oh my goodness, I wish I had rugby friends!!! That is fantastic
