Oh man, I just watched the episode and I cried too. Sometimes Don reminds me (figuratively, not literally) of my own father it kills me, and seeing that moment was just achingly sad and beautiful.

Thank you for making me click on that link! Holy hell, between the pink terry cloth and the cardboard boxes and the bucket on the head... I just don't know which one to buy first.

I know! If I could afford it, I would totally be that eccentric lady that wears vintage dresses and jewels to the grocery store every day.

What, no Downton Abbey headgear love?

Oh man, I loved some of her outfits and all of her headdresses.

Holy crap, that's an amazing image!

After I read through your comment here, I went and found your exchange with that guy. Actually, I think you handled that brilliantly! I know there's a lot of "don't feed the trolls" but honestly, I think in his case he wasn't expecting to be called up on his shit. And yeah, it probably didn't change his outlook on us…

It depends on the specific D/s relationship. I know lots of D/s couples personally and none of them would ever consider anything like taking away 'privileges' because outside of the bedroom everybody's equal. In my own relationship, I get playfully threatened with spankings for stupid things and imagined slights -…

I'd love to know how the conversation goes after that intro! I have a feeling you're an awesome teacher.

You're right, you can't tell the erect size from the flaccid size. Men with larger flaccid penises grow less when erect compared to men with smaller flaccid penises, so there's actually a lot less variation in erect penis size than there is in flaccid penis size. In other words, it mostly evens out when men are in the…

Yay for you two! I hope I'm still banging it out for the cheap seats when I'm an old.

Every time I look at this story this cat cracks me up! Now my own cat thinks I'm a crazy lady...

I would very much like to work for your company.

Me too! I have seriously contemplated quitting my job so I can have more sex. But I figured a combination of starvation and chafing would kill me eventually, so I didn't do that.

Thank you for that link! I just noticed the condoms about halfway down the page... for some reason that makes me giggle.

Yeah, I don't think the anger is so much about the bags themselves, judging from the netmums website (they're the ones that started the campaign to get the reps out of hospitals). But I'm mostly basing that on those bags you get for a new kitten or puppy - even though they're normally filled with food I wouldn't feed…

I think that part of the problem is that Bounty is paid by the NHS to distribute Child Benefit claims forms with the freebie bags. (Bounty then pays the individual hospitals a fee per mother that they get information from.) The increasingly aggressive Bounty reps are implying to some mothers that they won't be…

I'm not British myself but I've lived here for quite a few years and my understanding is that Bounty have been giving away bags of freebies to new mums for decades now. The issue is that the reps are becoming increasingly aggressive with their sales tactics and using very underhanded practices like implying that…

I had this problem with one of my nephews! Finding gender-neutral clothing is really hard - and it kind of doubly sucks because girls can usually wear boy clothes but not vice-versa, which just reinforces gender inequality. That kid ended up with about a million off-white onesies.

I know! They're great, right? If that was my capsule wardrobe I'd be the comfiest 34-year-old woman ever. (Provided they sized up; otherwise I suspect I would be cold, embarrassed and have one hell of a wedgie.)
