I’ve been a big Bourdain fan since The late 90's but I imagine that making love to him would be like fucking an 8 month air dried Parma ham that reeked of cigarettes and vodka

I would have been sad if he had answered with something. But the lack of a reply is just kind of devastating. Why agree the original 4th date if you’re not interested? Why cancel with an actual good reason and an apology if your intent was to fade to black?

So... I’m definitely being ghosted and I’m way more upset than I guess I thought I’d be. I was going to go into this big long thing about the whole history but it doesn’t really seem worth it.

Starting a brag thread this week because I’m so excited!

(nothing but a gift grab)

“This push for women to go topless in the 21st century is as strong as women wanting to vote in the 20th century,”

That’s kind of how I feel, too. I’d rather spread the message that boobs aren’t sex organs. Not reinforce the idea that boobs = sex. I could maybe see myself taking advantage of the topless thing at the beach, if it were legal, but someone declaring it an act of sensuality would make me want to put my top back on.

It gets better! Moving is so stressful. I also snap at people when I get stressed. All you can do is apologize, explain, and apologize again. Most people should be understanding, maybe not at first but hopefully within a few days.

That’s awesome! I’ve had a shop on Etsy for four years now. I’ve been pretty happy with the results. For me, the more time I can put into it the better I do. Best of luck to you. Etsy is great!

Hey everyone! I got married earlier in the year and we have yet to plan the honeymoon. Any suggestions/advice? I’d like to travel outside the continental US, and my husband wants to go somewhere with mostly English speakers. Maybe the UK?

Awesome! Do you have patterns? I just finished this one, from a pattern I got off of etsy. They're so much fun!

Jezzies, I have SO MUCH news! My zombie knee is doing really well - it gets stiff every now and then, but as of last week I started walking up/down stairs normally *and* wearing heels! Granted, they’re sad kitten heels, aka the mullet of shoes, but better than my ever-present high tops!

Newest cross stitch is my absolute fave so far:

Oh damn. I’ve been there too, girlfriend. Ouch. :( Use LOOOOTS of lube (I like Sliquid Oceanics). There’s no such thing as too much!

I tried to post earlier, but it didn’t make it up?

I started having sex!

Whatever woman became the first presidential nominee from a major US party - whether that was going to be Clinton or somebody else - was never going to be the pristine and pure beacon of hope and change, etc. that any of us may want to see, simply because it takes a championship fighter to break down barriers.

Exactly! Bernie has the freedom to be a lefty, to be an everyman, to demand progressive priorities and look like a schlub (I saw many of his supporters tout the “he doesn’t care how his hair looks!” thing as a plus) doing it. Hillary has had to walk a very narrow path for her entire life in the spotlight, and she is…

I think that’s a dangerous game to play. I know you don’t mean it this way, but I do feel that any female nominee would be met with objections of “I’ve wanted a female presidential nominee for a long time, just not this female presidential nominee.” All candidates have faults, but female candidates are expected to be…

What exactly is a family-friendly platform? One where the woman candidate promises to make cookies? Or the one that exists for the world we live in where she is trying to reduce the number of kids who die from gun violence.
