I do that, too! Especially because I have 2 white cats who shed. It's almost as if I have to act like a human rake on all the cat hair before I can actually vacuum. But, I do get a nice upper-body workout. :)

Apparently, they look at it as 'taking resposibility for your actions', meaning that if you weren't such a hedonistic slut, you wouldn't have to worry about having babies...because you should only be having sex for procreation, and only if you're married to a man. It's more of a 'you do the crime, you do the time'…

Thank you for posting this. I'm a Liberal Democrat, but I'm also a Christian. I've had to defend my faith so many times over these past few years. My go to line is 'The Christian Right is neither'.

This was from Arizona - not the Federal Senate.

I mean, 'recreational sex' implies there's a partner in there. If you have a same-sex partner, you really don't need oral contraception. (You might want a barrier method for STIs, but not contraception.)

Why haven't I hearted you? I need to do so. Outstanding answer! It is absolutely no one's business why I want BC, besides my MD and me. No one's business at all. If a medical professional decides that it's warranted as part of a treatment plan, then that's it, and it doesn't matter what that 'treatment plan' entails.…

I don't see the allure in Courtney - truly, I don't. She seems too slimy for words.

Um, did 'Life & Style' totally just spoil the ending of this season's 'Bachelor'? Not that I care, or anything... *clears throat*

I'm a Public Services Librarian. We have people leave all sorts of business cards around, especially in our books. I had to go through all the financial planning books because some guy placed his business card in all the financial-type books on our new book shelves. I called him and told him that *ahem* someone had…

Because that would NEVER, EVER, happen to his wife - or his daughter, or his niece. Because they're good girls, and good girls don't need to worry about this sort of thing. That's only for those bad, nasty, sluts - amirite?

No - the GOP can't seem to 'do the deed' (*snort*) when it comes to job creation, so it's diverting attention to another hot-button issue.

Having a baby is not, and should not be considered, a simple decision. But sometimes, I have to wonder...

Thank you for posting this. Agreed, 100%

All I mean is that you don't need to have a huge event. If you want that - awesome. But I find that so many people place emphasis on a 'wedding' over the actual marriage. That's all.

Actually, I got married at the chapel at the university I attended for undergrad. My faculty advisor was a member of the Universal Life Church, and offered to marry me and my guy for free. The university said that no one was using the chapel on that day, and it would remain empty, so go ahead and use it (for no…

I did - turns out that my DH had his holdings royally messed up, and we fixed that. Now, we're filing as married, but I forgot to remove the (1) exemption that I had, while he's at married w/no exemptions, and an add'l $10/per paycheck. I've already dumped that exemption - if we still owe next year, we're both…

Getting married isn't expensive - go to a courthouse, and get married by a judge. Too impersonal? Hire a Justice of the Peace, and have a quiet, intimate, ceremony at a place that means something to you, or at a friend's home. Weddings, and all their trappings, are the expensive part.

Nope. I completely agree. Like I said in a previous post: good enough to live with, good enough to sleep with, good enough to conceive with - but marry? Oh noes!

Getting married at a courthouse isn't expensive - neither is having a small, intimate, ceremony.
