Hilarious. I do remember a time or two when we were dating where he initiated sex when I was exhausted and I actually asked if he minded if I closed my eyes. I guess I knew I had a keeper when he wasn't interested in shtupping my semi-conscious body.

Right?!?!? My sister thinks we must be prepared for a discussion at any hour of the night and I figure old aunt so-and-so will still be dead in the morning. Only call me if you're being kidnapped and need the ransom money before 8 a.m.

Thanks, but he's a doll. A really caring person and he deserves it, even if I'm tired as hell. Our problem is our hours are so different and our jobs such different levels of stress that we don't always mesh, but I don't ever want to take him for granted (although I do, as one will).

My husband does this all the time. I have to get up super-early for work and am in bed by 10pm, which is when he'll come in and want to have a talk about our marriage, our child, or how I upset him over something or other. I don't want to seem like an uncaring bitch, so I struggle to engage and keep my eyes open.

What's wrong with you people that you don't flush your leavings so you can start with a "fresh" bowl for wiping? It eliminates (some of the) odor and drastically minimizes the possibility of suffering an "oh shit" moment when you clog someone else's toilet bowl.

I only know because I remember from grad school everyone saying Allen Ginsberg was in it! And then some totally infantile (no pun intended!) idiots in college joked about it all the time.

Why do men's razors look like it took a team of ten engineers to assemble?

My favorite cigar story is from a county bar association Christmas party several years ago. This is deep in the Great Plains in a small county that consists largely of trailer parks and John Deere stores. A lot of the local judges are known as the judge of the city or county “dog court.” The party was being hosted in

As a parent of a young child, I cannot quite remember this thing you call "penetration" or "sex."

That would be a NO.

Exactly! This isn't NAMBLA!

I suppose I could apply to carry the team's water cooler?

I'm gray! WTF?????????????

I think it's a mistake to date anyone whose career entails activity that you must passively watch from a sideline. I'm not saying you must participate in your SO's career, but that you should not be involved in his/her work. It creates a weird dynamic.

My 11 year old daughter has wandered (?) onto some questionable stuff on YouTube and I really think the only thing we can do, as parents, is teach them how to deal with it (and monitoring use, of course, when possible). My kid came into my room while I was reading and was just messing around when she blurted out that

I avoid the genitals to face problem by drying my body with the side of the towel with the tag and then drying my hair with the other side.

I got six. Why? I know Pharrell's "stages." Kill me now.

I followed the links and found "Courtney Brings New Boobs to Church."
