this might be him attempting some damage control, but it also might be him attempting to admit that he has a problem. Whether you believe that sex addiction is a “true” addiction or not, he clearly has a compulsion. Maybe he’s finally trying to get treatment.

my stepmom had her first child at 45. (my half sister who’s 21 years younger than me)

I’m no insurance expert, but it’s possible that her insurance won’t pay out much since she did sue the perp in civil court. Insurance companies will bend over backwards six ways to sunday to avoid paying a claim if someone else is deemed responsible. Since she got this “restitution” granted by the court, insurance…

I had crazy swollen labia (couldn’t walk, egg sized) from a bad reaction to Monistat. *shudder*

Ooooh, you should get a squatty potty! I have one and it is great.

I think the idea is that the charleston shooting was a hate-crime against christians, or something. because while dylan roof may have claimed to be christian, they know that he was actually lying. or something.

that is incredible. “i will literally end your life...” that is the most. Whether she wrote it and you recounted it, or you wrote it as a paraphrase, that paragraph is the most righteous and all around best.

as a former ballet dancer, I can guarantee that I’d have been super annoyed by this if I’d seen it out in the world, but appropriation, it is not. I’m also super annoyed with “Barre” workout. They took something I loved and worked at and studied for decades and turned it into a trendy workout class. No thanks. But…

Tammy Duckworth is the best of us. I almost wish I was still a registered Illinois voter (moved from Chi to SF 3 years ago) so I could triumphantly vote her into the Senate. I’m going to have to settle for voting Kamala Harris in instead.

And *of course* he doesn’t think it’s that big of a deal. He’s a privileged white dude who was raised by anti-semites for whom unleashing slurs while drunk is just called “tuesday night”. He’s sober now, where’s his medal?

*cough* Jim Carrey *cough*

it’s funny what people think of as the “shit” candy. I’d have been thrilled with jolly ranchers and blow pops. Less interested in: tootsie rolls, tootsie pops, hershey bars.

the first thing that came to mind in reading this article (what can I say, I like being the devil’s advocate) is Jessica Jones. White woman, black man, *very* sexual relationship. They never show his peen, granted, but full frontal male nudity isn’t all that commonplace IMO.

fair point, marx. If it weren’t for the double chins, I might be inclined to agree.

it’s why the guy was confused about why his brother wasn’t interested in any of the women who are “willing to try” with him.

yeah, I mean, I get it, in general, it is more or less true that eating less and working out more is a good thing, but it’s not the end all be all for everyone. My body seems to *really* like having extra fat around b/c it’s been hell. I’m restarting an effort to focus more on exercise than on my food intake b/c…

my body sure as shit is stubborn. doesn’t seem to matter how little I eat, I’m still carrying around 15-20 extra pounds that I can’t seem to get rid of... ugh.

I totally respect your choices, but I’d just like to point out, your family may change their tune if they knew you were not hetero. My conservative family is now super vocally pro-LGBT because my cousin’s best friend is gay. They met him, they love him, they see queer folks as humans, they support their rights.

I don’t have IBS, but I SO want to have a fecal transplant from my husband. I get food poisoning/stomach bugs like 10x more often than he does. He just has the bomb flora. I’m working on it, but mine sucks, no matter how much kefir/yogurt/kimchi/kombucha I consume.
