THIS. I am excellent outside of the house about touching my face. In my home, I touch as much as I want, because I clean every time I get back in my car by wiping down my hands, phone, wheel, surfaces with a bleach wipe, and same when I get home. 

Man, I missed last week due to prepping, but whoa, I went to my grandfather’s funeral on my 16th birthday, and these birthday stories make me look like the fkin’ Queen of Spain.

Was the answer not “proudly and out in the open” for adults?

Counterpoint: shower shoes (like soccer slides) from Adidas, Nike, etc. or flip flops. Yes, there is a risk that you walk outside in them (I walk into the yard with mine if I need to chase a dog), but you can rinse them off in the sink or scrub with a paper towel or scrubber, and so they don’t absorb odors, wetness,…

Yes, but only if the boning is either homosexual sex, or non-PinV hetero-sex (unless you’re in a well-functioning relationship). PinV hetero-sex can lead to pregnancy even with the best laid preparation, so extra boning means extra risk of consequences if the birth control doesn’t work. If the internets and this…

As such a 40-something, yes. Also, how is anyone even surprised anymore that these polls are way off and the interviews are unrepresentative? As was said, people have lives, so they don’t go to rallies. Further, who do you know that answers their phone anymore when they don’t recognize the number? I haven’t talked to…

This is a shrewd PR move by Biles and Raisman. Like it or not, the settlement does NOT come “with a terrible catch”; it comes with the “catch” of all settlements - you won’t sue me again for the very same facts. I’m not in any way commenting on the merits of the settlement. But in large scale, multi-plaintiff suits,…

Exactly. They’ve had security details for years, and if it’s not a personal security detail, it’s security at an event. They are NOT SUPPOSED TO ENGAGE. We’d all laud him for fighting a male protestor, but it doesn’t help anyone for Biden to go all heroballs and get himself injured. And no, he can’t touch a woman…

This is a massive problem in Northern Virginia. But even moreso, they don’t even have DRLs functioning, so they’re completely dark on the outside, and its the dashlights making them think they’re okay. Inevitably it’s also a gray or black car. Also, flashing your lights at most of these drivers does absolutely no…

“Oh, Goodness, Math and Money are just too hard for us! I guess back to the pop-py, soapy, superficial stuff!”

I have a meeting/phone call voice. I have a different voice when I want things from people (it’s not sexy baby but it is a chirpy, non-threatening voice and I use it with both genders). And I have my normal cursing sailor voice. People need to present themselves for varying scenarios, which is not an excuse for sexy…

I guarantee mine was faster (90 seconds, tops?) but ours was on the balcony of a hotel room because the local county courthouse was under construction. It was however performed by an undertaker (not on purpose).

Hey, that guy should wash twice if he’s coming in off the street. I don’t like to use the restroom with street hands but I’m also not a cretin who’s handling toileting needs and then fucking up the rest of the world. But I’m a lady so apparently I’m better at this innately.

Men are interesting in their relationship to sickness, contamination, doctors and receiving care. Men may complain more but that doesn’t really move the needle. More importantly, men are less likely to go to the doctor - maybe because it costs money, it seems unmanly (they are strong and only weak, sick people seek…

1. I think *I* was the bad person on a flight once. Last day of a trip to Hawaii with my parents (I was 15 or 16), I come down with a stomach flu and am barfing regularly. But we have to get back to our home on the East Coast, so we have to get on the Hawaiian Air HNL - LAX flight and then home. I was still in active…

My insurance stopped covering my therapist, so it’s not a real picnic even when you have insurance. 

Yes. I’m down for that. Elite cycling is all about how much tinkering is illegal doping and what is/isn’t. Same with track and field.

I came up with one possible one. The Paralympics clearly do not throw all athletes into the same race - no one would reject how unfair it would be to have a very modestly impaired athlete competing against a more significantly impaired athlete. Thus, Paralympic athletes are classified by classifiers into sport classes…

Understanding that everything in this modern era needs to have a name, I guess “playdate” encompasses going outside to play with the neighborhood kids - wandering into their houses or them wandering into yours. I would say that families with an only child who yearns to be around other kids should be a bit attuned to…
