Hubby is a travel agent and his best client is his sister who makes serious coin in the oil business and just in the last 6 months have booked her onto two trips that would come close to $20,000. A week in a 5 star resort in Jamaica for 4 (2 adults 2 kids) with flights and all the extras was about $16,000 and then…

That's weird, because I'm flying to Europe in December for under $1000 rt from CA. I flew to Egypt round trip last November for $800. There are deals to be had if you're serious about scoping them out.

Right? I'm straight up amazed. I mean, I know people who travel like that— they mostly use travel agents, have no concept of realistic prices, and think if something is on sale it must be shitty. My dad is like that— he refuses to use a Groupon or Livingsocial because, "You get what you pay for."

Eight day trip to Yellowstone, driving there and back from Idaho, staying in a cabin in Gardiner, with concomitant driving, food, entertainment costs was about $3,000. The $12,500 number is fucking insane.

$200 a night is way higher that I've ever spent for a hotel that wasn't all inclusive. We hover a lot closer to $100. And before you say that I must be staying in shitholes, I assure you that I do not— on my last trip to Egypt, I stayed in a palace that had been converted to a hotel and that had this view from my…

$12,500 for a single vacation? Bye.

This is what I don't get. Why would you want to fuck someone who wasn't enthusiastically consenting to fuck you?

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, JUST ASK PEOPLE FOR CONSENT?!?!?!

Yeah, it's weird how often I am saying "Yes! Yes!" during sex without even being ASKED! It's not actually that hard and it's definitely not messing up the flow of sex or anything.

To the people who object to this: Do you want to take the chance that you are going to have sex with someone who is not 100% consenting? If the answer is in any way "Yes", you need to take a good, long look at yourself.

Safe. Sane. CONSENSUAL.

if you're not getting enthusiastic consent, you aren't doing it right.

"It is not difficult not to rape someone. " That right there. Well put. The mic you broke when it hit the floor might be taken out of your paycheck, though. But worth it, I would think....

No, this is a home for a penis.

I said this once, and I will say it again:

Sweet fancy Moses.

Occasionally, one would contact the company afte the event to say that I wasnt pretty enough. Me ... the host ... that wasnt dating any one!!

Look, maybe he did make $32k "since June," and maybe he is proud of (/arrogant about) it. But here is what I also know about dudes who validate themselves by bragging about money: They will take the most money they ever made (bonuses, commissions, an error in payroll, whatever) in the shortest amount of time, and then…

No, it won't be over a cookie or movie ticket. It will be a romantic relationship gone sour. It won't be premeditated either, it will be a rapid escalation and then frantic attempt to destroy evidence.

I have a very (perhaps abnormally) strong opinion about this issue. These seats are made to recline. Aside from takeoff and landing, there is no rule against reclining them. I understand some people are bigger, taller, have longer legs, whatever. I am aware that the spaces between seats are small (I sit in them,…
