I've taken Wellbutrin. I think it's better in terms of not supressing libido, and incidentally doesn't cause weight gain. I don't respond to SSRIs, but I do pretty well on atypicals like Wellbutrin or Effexor that work on norepenephrine uptake.

Thank you! I read something in her that reminded me of one of mine—a Borzoi-Saluki mix, who has a similar personality to what you describe about Maia.

Since it didn't work out really well when he appropriated copyrighted material from a small company, I suspect that the lawyers were on this and a licensing arrangement was made. Although it would be pretty terrific if he got hauled into court again, because you generally can't prosecute for hackiness and lack of…

Tell me about the fangy brown one between the fluffy one and the doxie!

The distinction between Askenazim and Sephardim will be lost on the overwhelming majority of non-Jews in the US. It's kind of like explaining the Basques or the Rom—it's fairly esoteric to those who haven't grown up in or adjacent to the culture.

Ann Arborite here. Last November, a 72-year-old friend came down with pertussis. That was fun. I had whooping cough as a teeny-tiny infant, so I was able to help her out; those around my age (late 40s) and older had to check in with their doctors ASAP because most needed boosters or hadn't ever had the vaccination.…

Have you looked at the laws passed by the Michigan legislature over the last couple of years? We're closer in spirit to Idaho than you imagine.

So "all experience causes chemical changes in your brain." Are you implying that all behavior is addictive? Why would the chemical changes caused by watching porn be more profound than other activities that give people feelings of control or pleasure? Check your neurology texts on those, Dr. Science.

If you're looking for a catlike dog, go with a greyhound. They sleep a lot and groom themselves (no doggy odor and virtually no shedding). Plus super-cuddly. When my first rescued grey came home, we had a kitten who absolutely bonded with him.

Details of restyling the hair on a Daniel Craig doll.

One of my college roommates from a zillion years ago got married in December. I don't remember what she wore, but her bridesmaids wore red velvet trimmed with white fur, with white fur muffs instead of bouquets. No skates. For what it's worth, she also became a Libertarian Party functionary on the state level.

Yeah. 3 lbs. I haven't checked the charts for 5 or 6 years, but when last I looked at them 18% was the cut off for the low end of the normal range. I don't know when it was raised to 18.5.

She likely dehydrated herself for the weigh-in—a strategy former contestants have stated was encouraged by production. That three…

When you do adopt, insist on a grey that's been fostered with a cat. It'll be fine.

The only dogs I've ever had have been greys, until last spring when we adopted a sighthound mix as a companion to our greyhound girl. This one's what my vet refers to as "a real dog." She's a SalukiXBorzoi, adorable and so sweet, but damn—the energy and the crazy! I love her deeply and look forward to many happy years…

They are the loveliest creatures imaginable, and your girl must have had a wonderful life with you.

Hey there, Mr. Classicist. "Bored by" or bored with." Yes, "bored of" is used frequently, but that's because that form's evolved from contemporary use. Like retouching.

This one may be the Barry nadir. Non sequitur dildo quip AND a lady-pulls-something-out-of-her-vagina line. If it was cutting-edge in elementary school, why stop. (Please note I'm not bitching because I find this misogynistic or offensive—it's just I'm kind of past finding the mere existence of orifices funny.)

I just realized that although innocentlt mean, the thing about getting mailing info sounded really scammy. Sorry.

Spinning greyhound joy! My girl spins in tight circles while moving in a larger circle around the periphery of the back yard.

Longtime greyhound adopter here. As it happens, none of my three greyhounds has been spooky or required house training. (One was a special-needs dog who'd been abused, but he'd been in foster for 6 months until his health recovered and he'd adjusted—we'd asked for a hard-to-place dog.) I credit the rescue organization…
