That's what happened to my grandmother, right after my grandfather passed. She had already beaten cancer 4-5 times in her life (including a double mastectomy in her early 40's), but i think with losing her husband of 40+ years, her heart wasn't fully into winning the next round. She had a protracted battle with cancer…

I began writing this journal on day two of the great Beyonce Fan Wars of 2015, which still rage on today. Few can remember what life was like before everything was drenched in blood, before the crucified corpses of wayward photoshoppers decorated the entrances of every fashion magazine's headquarters...

I can admit that I caught some skin in a zipper once. Having extra skin would up the odds for it happening more frequently, so I'm perfectly happy as is.

I'm with you and will seat dance, or regular dance, any time the rhythm takes me over.

it gets stuck on stuff

Yeah, I've never sat down with Jiminy Cricket and wished aloud in song form about getting my foreskin back.

Yeah, that's fucking gross to brag about providing a safe space. It's like a step away from saying "at least I didn't pimp you out to my friends, or make you do pornography". That's his justification to himself. He's trying to fool himself more than fool you when he says that.

Well, I hope you and people here will come to count me as one of those one day. I'm not a perfect male feminist, but i do believe in true equality and that feminism is absolutely necessary. As a child raised by a single mother, its not a foregone conclusion that I would be a feminist, but I can say that any other…

I truly fear meeting someone below my age appropriate threshold and being either completely struck by them, or in such a bad place that any affection (good or bad) is needed on my part. I would love to think i could hang on to my wits, and I likely would, but it would be a real test.

I keep a spinning bow tie in my trunk, just in case I run across an AAOOOOOGAH-level babe.

Seeing your posts on twitter about this, my heart was breaking for you. I had a very close relationship with my grandfather as well. His passing shook me for a long time (he was fine one day, the next day he was in the hospital, four days later he died).

Maybe he should have started with 'hubba hubba' and, ya know, worked his way up. Maybe he also shouldn't have been dating your best friend....or forced his way into your home.

I don't think any women need this. Y'all are insatiable sex fiends. It's like you need sex twice a year. I AM NOT A DAMN APPARATUS!

and I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever about the fact that I will probably not see my 60th birthday.

Thank you for sharing that. In my opinion, he is a gross, gross man and the fact he knew you so early makes him even more awful in my eyes. From what you wrote, the fact that he seemed to be your first true love is just icing on a terrible cake.

All I can say to that is that I try my best to be a good person. It can be hard on the internet because you can make a mess with a misplaced word, or not explaining a point of view properly. When you add strong feelings to the mix, it can all go off the rails. I edit A LOT.

Anyone else trippin' on the "co-owning" a dog aspect of this? Imagine telling someone that on a first date. "I love animals, too, Brad! In fact, I co-own a dog with..."

Wow. It does sound seriously flawed, especially when they were taking credit for Carlo Prescott's methods.

That's fair to point out and I'm always willing to discuss these things politely ("annoyed the heck out of me" is pretty darn polite), but i don't believe it comes across to you as I intended it to. My logic train of thought above was applied to the idea of being the male in a situation similar to the one this piece…
