This discussion is no longer productive. You refuse to see any side but your own. Who said I did AA? I did a D&A counseling program at my school, because I agree with you about having a sponsor and also I'm anti-religious. I did try moderation and found I really couldn't stop at just one drink, so I chose to simply…

Jezebel has become truly disheartening. I have seen so much commentary on this site in the past few weeks that smacks of the same cheap, intolerant, hateful language that we (liberal feminists) strive to avoid. It's no better than MRAs citing evolutionary biology studies to justify gender roles and rape. Not all…

And I reserve the right to mistrust anyone who doesn't respect another person's decision to keep clean any way that works for them.

Oh sweet! You're a mortician? You provide an invaluable service and I want to give you a shout out.

Beautiful, buuuuuut, it would be a lousy buckshot wound.

I've harped this shit out of this on this thread, but some of us are alcoholics and can't even have a sip of alcohol. It's not the same for us. We can't stop at the sip. It's better that we toast with sparkling water at your wedding rather than pee on your presents or punch your mother, and then smoke a celebratory…

I had a pal like that. Then I made him brownies, he was sitting on a beach staring out at the waves giggling and eating pineapple, we asked him how he was doing and he said, "this feels...silly."

Aw dudes. Come on. Some of us are alcoholics and can't have a drink or it will lead into a spiral of destruction. We'll 420 it up though!

Awww. But we could still be friends right? I'm married, but I slept with many, many ladiez in the past and a homeless man threw his own blood on me one time. Also, my husband is in recovery so I don't drink in solidarity, but I do cuss like a goddamned sailor, and I'm very rural southern, so my favorites (that get…

The best thing about this thread, which I read to the bottom, is that all the folks who claim they talk about a myriad of things other than sex spent a lot of time talking about talking about sex. THATZ SO META. I'm a nerd.

I agree too.

It's called "Thick-it". My brother has C.P. with some swallowing issues and to keep him hydrated, sometimes we'd add thick-it to his juice or cola, but never to water, because grrrrooosssssss. He wouldn't even open his mouth for a drink of that stuff.

Marry me too! I neeeeeeeeed you, oh sweet goddess of calming confections.

Yeah, there aren't too many corporate ventures in NOLA Proper other than that mild hellhole on Tchop. They're all out in Metairie. Where the olds are.

You have to remember these people deal with horrific situations on a very small budget. The woman you talked to is probably paid 11 bucks an hour, and I'm being generous because it's Cali. She probably sees the officers (if she's not one herself) bring in litters of drowned puppies, starved hoarding situations, dogs…

Don't do something that hurts you. My cis woman friends never believe me when I tell them this but, there is a considerable swath of both dudes and ladies (myself included) who love a fuzzy muff. You can also weed out assholes, because only assholes try and tell you what to do with your body. Plus, your pubes will be…

I am going to go with my usual solution: wrangle him into a discussion about beauty standards and patriarchy and the historical enslavement of women to the male gaze . Get your first two or three most learned and poignant points in early, but talk for 10 or 15 minutes. Don't let him leave. Quietly fart the entire…

Marry: Colin Fuck: Colin Kill : Colin—-Who are the other two?

I agree wholeheartedly. Luckily, here in NOLA we have a pretty strong small business appeal because of our glorious zoning regulations! Big oil is the problem here, but there is not a chain restaurant in sight for a 15 mile radius around us (with the exception of the French Quarter). Fuck that place.

White folks smell like dogs when they come out of the rain. Fact.
