“Va te faire foutre” is the direct translation (although no one really uses that, more common is ‘ta gueul! (sp?), “merde” is common, and if in doubt, “putain” works in ANY situation that could ever possibly come up in France :)

Really? I'm from Singapore, every school there had/have milk Thursdays. I hear that's quite common in some.other asian countries.

Thank you for this!! I get so mad when people concern troll without even any actual facts. They'll pry my post-workout choc milk out of my cold dead hands.

Actually, choc milk (proper non added sugar ones) are fantastic post-workout meals, consumed within 30min of a session. Especially a heavy lifting session, it has the perfect ratio of carbs to protein for replenishment. This is pretty well researched and acknowledged.

My husband and I have given each other blanket consent to go ahead and start on the other even while asleep. I love being woken up to "Oh! Hello soldier" no matter what time of the night it is (it helps that we both go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday so our sleeping patterns are the same) as does he, so…

That's a pretty false equivalency, I mean you're not incredibly safe as a pilot/miner/construction worker but you don't hear people asking why those industries exist....

My theory is that she's such a class act that she just doesn't give enough real fodder for tabloids, so they have to make shit up/rehash a decade old story forever. That makes me like her even more.

Swap Mum and Dad and you have my story, except I haven't spoken to my father ( or sperm donor as I've referred to him for forever) in 8 years.

And what kind of person chooses this profession? Also, how do they practise this skill?! Many questions.

Your fiancé? Yikes.

Would you mind referring me to, or briefly explaining what the laws you've mentioned are? I have a friend who is a sex worker (sounds dodgy I know lol) in Scandinavia and she seemed happy about Canada's changing stance on sex workers' rights. I just chanced her status update about it on my FB page one day and didn't…

I'm Indian, and my husband is white, and this thought passes through my mind more often than I'd like it to.
Then again, the chances of my wanting a kid are below 50% anyway so this might never be an issue.

My doctor who inserted my IUD (it's my first one) had also done my abortion procedure a few weeks earlier and knew how much of a total chicken I am when it comes to pain and cramps, so he actually let me choose general anesthesia if I wanted to be unconscious for the procedure. I love that man to bits (he was the only…

My doctor was an absolute sweetheart and gave me general anesthetic after I begged him. He also did that for the abortion I'd gotten a few weeks earlier (I scheduled an IUD insertion immediately after that procedure) so he knew I was a complete coward with pain. This was including the 4Midols I took hours before the…

I was 20. My mother (after freaking out and yelling at me) told me never to make that 'mistake' again and made me SAY 'it was a mistake'.
My father just punched me and called me a whore, then threw me out of the house. My mum refused to let that happen though, so when everything is said and done I think it was more…

Same here! Started at 20, crammed in a lot of fun and got married at 25. It was a glorious 5 years of travel and a buffet of delicious experiences. I think that helped for me, for sure. I was already on my way to a 'full' person by then, and thought 'Hey sex is fun!', then my last one night stand turned into my…

Your story sounds almost identical mine, all the way down to the late bloomer bit, with the only difference being I have a stepson, not a stepdaughter. Never thought I'd meet another like me! :) I'm going to navigate the kid's foray into teenhood (he's 12 now yikes) as much as possible because his mother…

I was gonna say! My husband, who'd never left North America before meeting me, came to visit me in the tropics, where we went for our honeymoon. I got him a cute, blackish-navy beaded necklace from a street vendor and he adores it. Granted, he doesn't wear it here in Canada but whenever a beach is in sight, off goes…

Oh yeah, I remember when I lived in France I was mildly upset I didn't get to have all my travels stamped throughout the borders on my passport, I brought it along in case but it was never needed, especially on train travel. Once in a while border patrol officers came on board to just look at passports, but it was…

So....what you're saying is, in the event I have children in the future (not for a while, thank you IUD) I should breastfeed them for lower chances of those stink bombs I encountered with the bottle-fed infant I was babysitting? I'll take it.
And yes, this is my takeaway from this comment thread. lol.
