I am trying to promote your comment but it's not working, so maybe replying will do it. It's really nice to hear the perspective of a male who has used planned parenthood services. Thanks for sharing your story.

Oh, yes, just yes:

I'm not sure, I never made it to the Pacific side but it was about a four hour ride from SJ airport. It's not that far from one side of the country to the other in miles but the roads are dirt roads with huge potholes so you have to drive very slowly.

I just visited both places, I didn't volunteer. So what I meant was you can't hold them or touch them if you go there to visit. I am sure if you're volunteering you will get to interact with them. The jaguar place lets visitors play with and hold monkeys and sloths. It looks like from the site that they don't give…

I've been to this sloth sanctuary in costa rica. I never knew I liked sloths until Iwent. You can get close to the babies but you can not hold them or touch them. Maybe an hour down the road from the sloth sanctuary is the Jaguar Rescue and the name is misleading as they are really a wildlife rescue (and only had two…

I got it in the mail yesterday and it's just as terrible larger. My first thought: whoever chose THAT photo hates Drew.

Everything happens for a reason drives me nuts too. In the literal sense it's true, like you got raped because a rapist raped you, but of course, that's not what people mean when they spout that nonsense. They mean that everything happens for you to learn something or get stronger or whatever and it's just not true.

OMG yes, I like George but that's immediately where my brain went too when reading that quite. Thank you!

The one percent. How much do you think Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes spent on Suri's gifts this year?

But is it always bragging (or is bragging always a negative) when you are just legitimately proud of some accomplishment you've achieved and are sharing your joy about it? For example, at some point I posted, "Just finished my first half marathon, not bad for an asthmatic 40 year old ex-smoker." Did I anticipate my…

Exactly! I had my tonsils out and they didn't heal well, bled for about two weeks on and off. I lost a TON of weight because eating f-ing hurt like hell. I would imagine it would be similar for throat surgery. And once she's well, her weight will likely return to her natural set point.

What about yoga pants? Same as sweats or not? I see a lot of yoga pants that are pretty tight and revealing and I don't really see the mens running away from the women wearing them. Just sayin.'

She doesn't even look bad! She just gained some weight as most people do in middle age. Big deal. The Spotlight: I would not want it.

Yep, this sounds like you are writing about my stalker. Same phases, same threats (down to threatening to send nude photos to my friends and family and workplace). Also filed a lawsuit against me lying that I had borrowed money from him (it was later dropped). My stalker was convicted and part of his sentence was…

Well, I think this is already done in many places. Ten years ago, my convicted stalker was ordered to attend three hours of anger management per week for a year... and if he failed to do so, to jail he went. I have no idea if it helped him but after he was convicted, he did stop stalking me.

That got me too.

I would really like to do this (with my little five pound weights). I am on boring conference calls a lot and could get in some good intervals... but yeah, I'm in cubicle world and I'm not sure i want the people walking by seeing me doing that. I'm going to try to get over it though because it does appeal to me and I…

I would never wear spike heels or anything too high, but I definitely like some heel and almost all of my myriad cute and rad shoes have some heel to them, I find them more comfortable than flats overall (truth).

Well I'm a 41 year old woman and I would be happy to date my own age or older - around 12 or 13 years older would be fine with me as long as they are in good shape. But I feel like since around age 29, only younger guys ask me out. It's not even what I want!

So if they ate solid food and weren't dehydrated their bodies wouldn't look as good? I don't buy that. They'd look just as good if they looked a little softer.
