@Cryptoclaw: My mother tried that when I was a kid, and I'm a nail-biting hot sauce junkie to this day. I am not making this up.

@GGobsessed: Gay men have girlfriends, too... a guy I dated 20 years ago recently came out as gay, but he didn't know it yet back when we were seeing each other.

@hollymar: Why not do both?

@Cimorene: Purity Balls (I chuckled just typing that) are probably not Amazon warrior factories, they're more likely abortion-doctor-shootin' loony factories.

@Whitson Gordon: The mattress pads really are nicer- the heat rises and is trapped by the blankets on top, of course, but here's the kicker: with a heated pad you never get jolted awake by moving into a cold spot on the mattress.

@thecounterspark: You got that right. I know a teenage girl who has probably been damaged beyond repair by her uber-controlling fundamentalist loony mother. (It probably doesn't help that dad couldn't take it anymore and flew the coop a long time ago; however, to his credit, he DID try to get custody.)

@colormeroutine: I couldn't, and I'm thankful there were no witnesses. Maybe I have too much loose skin from being on the poverty diet.

@colormeroutine: It still looks wrong, because they brushed out the folds in the skin that naturally tend to occur when you twist like that.

@JohanPaladin: And I'm offended by your offendedness at the word offended. What the hell is this, offensensitivity?

You can also pick up fancy Christmas wrapping paper, ribbons, bows and gift bags for hefty discounts this time of year. I have a stash in a plastic storage bin on an out-of-the-way shelf.

@jcb820: I know non-off-the-rack sized women will cheerfully pay extra, if necessary, for nice clothes that fit- my mother was an expert seamstress and made good bit of extra money when I was a kid by sewing custom clothing for women who couldn't find a thing when they went shopping. Tall, short, heavy, busty,…

@TemporalSword: I'm with you, with one caveat- I want to know how much each show costs BEFORE I watch it, to avoid surprise $800 bills for TV.

@femme-bot: I'm SO glad it's not just me getting the urge to babble foolishly over this dog.

@morninggloria: @morninggloria: No kidding. Have you looked at any online personals lately? They're good for a laugh, if you can keep your gorge down.

That is a truly marvelous ass. I'm too thin, and Coco gives me butt envy.

@Flackette Goes Retro: Well, of course, women are too emotional and irrational to write about violence against women.

@Alys Brangwin has a huge talent: Already tried that, it tends to fall apart when they call you on the phone, though.

@femme-bot: Don't be ridiculous, you don't have to drink it, just bathe in it.

Harumph. This explains a lot.

@immaculate.gaenor: I was just thinking to myself how annoyingly pretty she looks caught in mid-word. Pictures of me taken like that are always hideous, gut-busting comical, or both.
