I think this is one of those wars where we all win.

When I'm having a stressful day/interaction, I totally daydream about how relaxing it'll be to get home and knit. Ahhh...

Yeah, actually it kind of does. Even if adoption were in the picture, she'd still be a birth mother. Giving a child up for adoption doesn't make someone any less of a mother, just a different kind of mother.

Well...here's the thing for me (as a total fandroid):

Yep, it's totally not the whole picture, I agree. I do think it's a part of puzzle, like language in general is.

Totally gonna work that Latin into my sexytimes talk.

Many therapists offer sliding scale, so there'd be no need to go through insurance companies or disclose anything to anyone.

Also, totally not meaning to single you out in usage. This was more a general wish for society.

Clarified down below or up above or however the hell it appears, in response to Dodai's comment.

So, at one point using the term "pudenda" to describe female genitalia was medically accurate.

I just wish people would stop saying "labia majora."

Okay, I have never watched this show and never will (because I really don't kare), but for my money: Khloe is the gorgeousest of them all. TKO.

Infinitely more talented, interesting, and ultimately more confident.

Sorry, but my takeaway from this is:
Wait, she didn't get PAID for this? Gross, Apple.

I just love an extendo-paw.

I feel like I should not have found that whole Shruggy thing as chortle-inducing as I did.

I wish you could see my "WTF IS THAT" face, because it's pretty spectacular.

Whoa. I haven't seen in her anything for a while, but this is not what I think of when I think of Michelle Rodriguez. Is the photo really touched up, or has she changed a lot, or am I just out of it?

This whole album. SO. DAMN. GOOD.

At a minimum, it sounds like you two have different expectations/needs around what dating means. Add to that the douchey comment about being balanced and independent...well, I say it's a sign that y'all are just not a love connection. Better to cut your losses and move on, no matter how cool he may seem in other ways.
