Damn!!! See, this is what I wish I knew. I am the most uncrafty person, so I never would have crafted with books. Should I have posted on Craigslit? Are there crafty people that peruse it looking for materials?

A lot of the cases in old law school texts books are actually old cases that help the student understand the old common law/historic cases that are still good law. So text books for a first year torts class don’t change much. Prison libraries could use them if a prisoner was looking for precedential cases, for…

It’s sad. I had a bunch of old law books and texts books from law school. I can’t figure out why I didn’t sell them back, but between my husband and I, we had a ton. I called the law library at the school and the one downtown. No go. The regular local library sure as shit didn’t want them. I asked multiple sources…

It is illegal. Once the work is preformed, the person gets paid. To not do so is a violation of wage and hour laws. However, this would require a performer who did not have a good experience refusing to do the interview, and then suing. 

Yeah, but legally they can’t withold pay. The issue is that all these studios are asserting they comply with state law, because they don’t want to be shut down, which means presumably, they pay their taxes, workers comp, etc. etc. If a performer does the scene, and refuses to give a positive exit interview, they can’t…

Thank you.

This fascinates me. It’s one thing to put an age range on an app for example, but to actually reject someone after you’ve seen them, think they are attractive, and had a nice conversation with them is really, really bizarre. 

I need to purge drawers. I’ve been in my house 10 years, there are a lot of junk drawers. I can’t buy new bras yearly though. At 70 dollars a pop, can’t happen. I keep them until they don’t hold the girls up anymore.

I wrote above that having babies stopped my pain. I also do think going off the pill helped as well. After my husband got fixed, things improved. I do think there is something to this. I wish I had known, but I’m old enough that getting an IUD when I was younger and having the most pain was not an option.

So thanks for writing this. I always have had pain during sex, not as bad as yours, and tampons are no issue. So I’ve never received an explanation. I’m fortunate in a few ways, I could still have sex, and after I got older and married, it stopped hurting as badly. I’v never had orgasms from intercourse though, and I…

OMG so cute. I love sheep dogs!! But I’m never allowed to have one because I live in California. Also, they are busy right? Need to run, do stuff, otherwise they get bored and destroy things, right?

Absolutely. But to me, insisting her husband do it (the alcohol thing) indicates it may be less about need as supposed to a want. Meaning, if he’s giving it up because she’s been a bit grumpy that she can’t have it, I think it’s less about it making her sick. I suppose he could just be doing it without her asking,…

But, like, how many times do we have to say that you don’t have to give up caffeine while pregnant??? 200 mg a day, that’s about 8 oz of coffee, or whatever equivalent of tea. I could not have functioned without caffeine during my pregnancies. I had to work though, I’m not a princess.

I’m ten years older than you, and yet I feel like you and I were the same high school kid. I too had a falling out with friends. I too was the one who was sexless. And you just summed up in one paragraph, a truth that at 39, I started grasping only a few years ago. “My trepidation towards drugs and alcohol had less to…

Also, aren’t men discouraged from marrying and having kids unless they have a “good” job? This means that people won’t couple up because jobs are becoming scarce. Also, don’t they still have pretty strict views on premarital sex? Which means people aren’t getting randomly knocked up...

ugh, did you tell your parents? If my kid told me that I would go to the store and buy a bunch of stuff and leave it with them with a note from Santa.

Ugh, my husband is an estate planning attorney... grandpa should have had a trust. But, absent that, if mean grandma is the legal spouse, she gets it. And she can leave it to the church, or flush it. Afraid there is no sense in the rest of them trying to argue with her. This must be so amusing for you. I would be…

I’m so sorry. My father died 11 years ago and was also very restless in the end. He was in the hospital, unfortunately. I still ran out into the hallway yelling “he needs more morphin please, can we make this happen now??!?!?” It calmed him, and he was gone 14 hours later. I also know that when you care, you can…

YES! It appears they have some white friends, but this story is about a middle class black family who encounters this “monster” that has been explored in many, many different films and books. Not all of black people’s lives are comprised of what random white people think. Sometimes they just live!

As someone who goes from a 12/14 to a 10/12 I would say 14. I get treated differently (though this last round of weightloss after my second baby not so much, I attribute that to being near 40). But for TV I would say 10 or 12. When most actresses are a 2/4, a size 12 looks huge. I think they are supposed to be the fat…
