First of all, this woman doesn’t understand her own damn religion, because by their own standards, the Pope is going straight to hell for being and idolater, so.

Kat Von D Tattoo liner. After drawing a million black eyeliner lines on the back my hand at Sephora, I gasped when I tried this one because it’s sooooo black. And now that I own it I can tell you that you can draw a cat eye on your face and it will stay put from the afternoon until the next morning.

Well, I disagree with some of this. I have actually found a LOT of pleasure in reducing unnecessary purchases (like Starbucks, which I looove) in favor of saving more. And it isn’t so I can retire with millions of dollars—it’s so I can retire *earlier*. Working sucks, yo. And it still sucks with or without a…

With the ever cheaper Euro, that trip could happen sooner than you think!

These photographs are very Kate Chopin, The Awakening.

Ha. I grew up in New Jersey, so fuck all the Jersey haters out there. Still, I wouldn’t move back permanently unless I had to move back in with my parents or family to prevent becoming homeless...

I live in San Jose and work in San Ramon. I understand.

I’d not have kids with you any day ;)

What the hell is wrong with you? All through these comments you’re like snipe, snipe, snipe, always zooming in to correct anyone who says having kids might be no fun. You know what? You sound more than anything else like a religious zealot, terrified that the words or actions of one dissenter will force everyone to…

I agree with #2 so much. You will meet people in college who actually have the same interests as you, not just in video games or in sports, but in any of your passions.

Go meet them. It’s worth it.

I’m 36 and still childfree and atheist, as is my 40-yo friend. FWIW. YMMV. Etc. ;)

Oh for fuck’s sake.

Ted Cruz dresses like a 16-year-old Lincoln Douglas debater.

So do any of you folks have a reading goal for the year? IF SO, how are you guys doing?

Not to mention nicer! We moved from Alameda to Pinole for a bigger, cleaner, overall better home for half the price two years ago.

Book Club Babe – you should check out Foundation Beyond Belief, which is designed to deal with exactly that sort of problem faced by atheists. They research charities (including religious values) and then raise donations for them. Even if you don't donate via FBB, their database of charities they've supported in the…

I've realized recently, after a lot of angst-ing, that I don't really want to have kids. I know, that sounds like it should be obvious to yourself, but I assumed that I was like a lot of people who don't really think too much about kids when they're younger but grow into the idea when they start reaching their 30s.…
