Oooh, that looks awesome. I am putting that on my "buy for myself" xmas list.

ABSOLUTELY. Candles should not smell like food. Neither should people, and I'm looking at you, B&BWerks, with your damned candy apple/cranberry/marshmallow shower gel/spray and other glurge products.

My cousins sew their own bras - they attended a special class on fitting and sewing techniques, and buy all the hardware/straps/etc online. I love the wild spandex they use for cups. They can buy regular size bras, but just prefer customizing their own.

Y'all made me feel so much better today.

I'd like to tell this to those who tear up over some of the "lonely old people in nursing homes." I knew of some who were flat out abusers during their active years - sexual as well as physical. The personality change - or concealment of true nature - is a familiar story.

Happened to me and several friends. It was, "I want to be pregnant NAOW" and no discussion, thank you, it is time. I was 31. It had to be hormonal, because it hit hard and did not let up until the 3d had hatched.

Damned science. Ruining sexy time AND fapping.

More on the phytoestrogens - can you give any good (i.e. not crackpot) sources to read up on them? I'm a healthy skeptic, but would like to steer a couple in-laws away from them.

You confirm my suspicions about that stuff. Is it because they are made overseas, or just that there is no supervision of the industry?

I love you so much. I wish I could have been your friend, as I would join you with satanic glee: "Is the part that's inside your body the vulva or the vagina?" "What's connected to the outside of the cervix?" VAGINAVAGINAVAGINAVAGINA.

Oh, god, I am just LOSING it with a relative. Did the math in front of him, he will save $10,000 in premium next year for better insurance but a higher deductible ($5K instead of $2.5K). He stares at me uncomprehendingly.

Doubt. Vanillin is the reason packaged cake mixes taste like ass. I put huge amounts of regular (natural?) vanilla in everything to make it taste heavenly.

How long do yours last? I'm so hamfisted I apply them rarely, becuz time.

I can highly recommend the stocking/garters garb - it lets the nethers breathe, for one thing. Important, especially here in Texas. I do recommend getting a REAL garter belt online from the UK, though, rather than the chintzy fetish wear they sell here in the US. You can get incredible stocking varieties and flavors…

Can't do it. The heat has permanently coiled and shortened the fibers (if it's wool or cashmere). You can try to stretch it out, but it will never be as soft or as nice as before. Sorry, but I'd cut it up and make it into something else.

Silk is a pretty strong fiber, but can't take a lot of rough handling when wet. I've let mine soak in a mild detergent solution with a bit of squeezing around the pits to loosen the soil - rinse, hang dry. Cold water, and prepare for some dye run. The main drawback to hand washing is ironing it after it dries, as it…

Starlings are also known as shitbirds, as that is the ONLY thing they do. Hmmm.

Am I the only one here who give zero fucks about pooing and pissing sounds? If anything, I'm proud of the plump sound of the load dropping. I mean, I'm on the toilet, people. I also believe the farts are always funny. Anytime, anywhere.

More funny than offensive.

Fuck, I have it too. Some minion of Satan must have contracted to supply every house in the Texas burbs with that demonic device. I feel better hearing from y'all.
