Yep! They numbed my whole mouth, covered my eyes with a cloth, and wrestled three wisdom teeth and a molar out just like that. I thought my jaw was going to break. It was over in half an hour, actually I’d had root canals (I have poor people teeth... this is a familiar topic to me) that lasted longer. That’s gov…

Right? I had four teeth wrestled out of my head when I was awake for it and then went right back to, well, being in boot camp, I commiserate with anyone’s tooth agony.

Tig Notaro knows what’s up. I dunno, maybe someone, somewhere cares, but personally I’d really rather hear about your violent tooth extraction than your new kitchen counter.

Welp, I need to reread my comments before I hit post. My bad on the redundancy my bad.

Oh, man, I had those nightmares all the time, I had them all the time. It all contributed to my fear of ever driving myself, I think. Eventually I got past it and learned how to drive, and it became my passion, no less, but there was a few hairy years between sixteen and the age at which I finally learned...

Really, really torn on this. I like the idea, I like the fabric... but I don’t like how it looks. The draping is weird, like a shiny trash bag.

Yep. My father was (well, is, but he’s been dry for three decades) an alcoholic. I suspect the same about my biological mother, though I don’t know for certain and don’t particularly care to. Warnings about genes were all I needed to keep an eye on it. Teenagers are capable of understanding concepts like hereditary…

Huh. I did not expect this answer, and I have to say that although I don’t like the compromise, I’m willing to live with it for the reasons you detailed. Thanks.

I’ll bite. Why not start taxing churches? I feel somewhat neutral about the idea, I’m interested to hear why you think they shouldn’t be taxed.

Trump’s secrets:

He’s like a living political cartoon. How could you even make a caricature of that? It already is one.

I as well. I was an early bloomer. My younger brother didn’t really learn how to read until he was seven. Kids develop differently.

Sneaker Pimps are everything, and Kelli Ali’s voice is wonderful. I have a playlist I use when I just need to chill out that consists mostly of them, Portishead, and Massive Attack. It’s the best.

Yes, that does happen from time to time. Some posts circulated a while back about a dude who stole a whole skull and made it all the way back to the United States, somehow. Incredibly sick.

No, no! Not that bad. Inside the labia instead of chilling in the general crotch region. Thankfully.

Oh, me too! It was on the inside, if you get me... I have never seen so much pus at one time in my life when that sucker let go. Absolutely disgusting.

I was gonna say. When I lived in San Diego, it was an open secret that there was at least one massage place that also provided happy endings. This isn’t that rare. It’s actually a pretty common front. That it ended up on Yelp, though...

I use tweezers for the coarse hairs, but for the finer stuff I use this.

I think I remember that. She was also living with the girl’s family, no? The whole thing was way, way too strange. People are more sordid than most think.
