I hadn't thought of it, but you're right—he's looking better there than he did a couple years ago. Maybe it's that they sort of age *into* their hair loss so it doesn't conflict so much with how young their faces look.

Sometimes both!

I was thinking that, too. Service job shifts are rarely a full eight hours, if the company can help it.

Maybe. I think it does depend on the kid. When I was nine, I could have been left home alone unsupervised with no problem, but my younger brother definitely couldn't be trusted by himself—at ANY age.

I often have cravings for this flavor family, especially if I've been eating mostly fruits and vegetables for a few days (which I will also have cravings for at times).

I heartily approve of all of these food choices.

My goodness. I simply can't imagine how this clear winner is having such a hard time finding a partner.

Mine, either. I'm white, but I'm also fat. Probably too old for him, too.

YES. Best comment.

I'm into them IF I'm involved with and into the guy, and we've established that kind of dynamic. But I'm not the slightest bit interested in some stranger's junk.

I don't know...I'd be cool with Scenario 3 sometimes. It would depend on whether there was a precedent for that sort of thing in the relationship, though.

How is a pair of anatomical panties a "mixed message"? These aren't marketed to straight men.

Imagine how many uterus panties you could buy with THAT!

It's not the fact that pink power tools exist that's the problem. It's the idea behind them, that women won't/don't use power tools UNLESS they're offered in pink. It's condescending marketing.

Except that many novels actually DO teach you things, just not in the same way as, say, a textbook.

Sometimes I even wear makeup WHILE reading...!

Eh...I've seen jokes on articles about violence against women here, too. There are always people who make light of terrible situations, no matter what those situations are.

YES. I was going to post this. Or if you insist on Michiganian (which is WRONG), it's spelled like I just spelled it, not like whatever abomination appears up there.

Actually, in this case, it's a reference to another story that was posted recently.

Oh, I do remember that magazine. I think my aunt had a subscription and passed it on to my mother.
