Dan Savage talked about this in his book AMERICAN SAVAGE. If found the topic of GGG most interesting. Another topic he mentions is exactly this one—investigating your partner's "kinks" and even if you're not that into it—play to give your partner a good time. I think this was how Dan discovered that his husband Terry…

While not exactly a tangent, I do a form a manual therapy which involves working inside the nose and the mouth (no, not together and I wear gloves). When discussing the "nose work", one instructor turned my perspective on it 180º.

I've only been called into the jury pool a couple times in the 10 years I've been getting notices regularly. For some reason, I didn't get anything in the 80s and 90s. I'm in a fairly large geographic area but I've only been summoned to the court that's a 90minute drive once. The rest of the time, it was a much more…

There's no mention of uVerse or FiOS. From the equipment uVerse left, it's a wireless router and access point rather than a modem. I'm being charged $2/mo for their equipment fee which includes the router and their HD DVR. I don't think that's to bad.

Dan Savage, sex advice columnist for the Seattle Weekly The Stranger talks about "GGG" in his book American Savage. It means "Good", "Giving", and "Game". See the Wikipedia article on it (yes it's short, but it's enough).

Thank you for making this distinction.

Actually, I'm a long-time Social Fixer user. Facebook and SFX have been having a series of run-ins with FB cutting off SFX's FB page. To get it re-instated, SFX had to remove features that FB didn't agree with. One was the Friends Status List that show who last friended/unfriend you. So, SFX can't do this any more.

There are also lots of pediatricians who are opting-out of treating children who are unvaccinated. They send letters to the parents to bring them in for their vaccinations or find another doctor. There's to much risk of having a sick child sitting in their waiting room and possibly infecting other non-vaccinated,…

My sister-in-law asked me this question because her son kept cracking his neck and it really bugged her. I asked how he was making the cracking sound.

I bought a product from Quirty (their Power Pivot for $30). It took over a month to get it, apparently because their shipping department doesn't record the shipping info in their database so there was no way to track it.

OK, so my gaydar isn't so broken after all. Or maybe your knowledge of certain topics mentioned in passing to get Whitson's goat on the podcast was a little more than I'd expect for a het-boy from the midwest. Or maybe I'm stereotyping. I grew up in the The Valley after all.

I really hesitant to respond to a recruiter's email when the job description is "close, but a stretch" in terms of experience and skills. Usually I just lay out my experience and skills and let the recruiter decide. Usually, they pass, which is fine.

gojirelsa, Android Device Manager doesn't see my phone. It's a HTC EVO running 4.0.3, so yes, this is better for ADM.

I'm surprised FileMaker hasn't hit them with a C&D letter. Bento is their lower tier database product for MacOS. I hope the rebranding isn't to painful when they get slapped.

Given the huge pain that Matt Kraus, author of Social Fixer, has just undergone, I'm kinda surprised that the authors of ABP would risk litigation with Facebook. Matt was able to negotiate keeping most of the features of SFX so that FB still isn't as annoying as the unfiltered site but now ABP is jumping into the…

I reviewed a local LAMPS-R-US shop which gave bad service to my mom. After 4 months, the $60 lamp she bought just broke. Cheap phenolic parts and it wasn't worth buying a kit to repair it at Home Depot nor would the store fix it ("we don't have a repair department"—I wonder why?) or swap it out for something else…

This is also AmTestKit's way to make great french fries. They also dunk the chicken in corn starch (and the french fries) to make the buttermilk coating stick to the chicken.

I suppose posting a picture of this guy with a bullseye on his head and a Hitler mustache would be over the top.

I closed an account because the company was very hard to work with. They wouldn't do anything over the Internet accept allow you to look at your balance or pay it. Any complaints or account issues required calling their 800# and waiting or writing the Corporate offices. After struggling to get a charge removed from…

Two of my friends from prior jobs, whom I did not directly work for, but did work with me, did agree to be references about my old, stale skills and both are very clear I could pick up most anything and learn it very quickly. They're willing to say so if asked.
