I think he meant the Space Needle? I hope so.

They want all white straight people to not exist. Or at the very least to go and sit behind a screen. Forever.

The dichotomy epitomized:

I give hip hop artists a lot more credit than this.They can do better. Stop making excuses for intelligent, creative people.

That is a highly superficial reading.

Exactly.

(S)he's not largely right. You can like Macklemore or not, I could give a fuck. Personally I think the guy is cheesy but I have a soft spot for cheesiness, so on balance I have a positive view of Macklemore.

I think it's probably mutually true of both sexes and all genders. Or at least I hope so. And I'm fairly certain it's true in my relationship. God help my husband if the only reason he chose me was that I was ornamental.

Which is fine. Why is that not fine? Humans do that. It's OK. It's pretty much what I was advocating. It doesn't guarantee reciprocated feelings, but them's the breaks, right? Everyone deals with that shit. Both sexes.

Happily I also find him handsome.

Ha. Now I'm going to have to show him this post. :)

Love this.

I don't use a washcloth either. I soap up and lather with my hands too. I fancy myself a pretty clean person.

It's a good thought. The problem is that I'm in the military, am an officer, and use my base's gym. That means that most of the population is dudes, and 90% of the people there is enlisted and I can't be friends with them.

Yes. I will not lie and say that it doesn't make my life easier to be married to Mr. Fix-It. Congrats to you on finding one too!

Really? I go to the gym all the time but I never talk to anyone there. I think bonding at the gym is a dude thing. There are not too many women on the weight floor (though I am one of them), and the ones who are there don't really talk to each other.

This is great advice except that I cannot knit. I have tried but cannot learn. I love the idea of knitting, generally get along with knitters, but I think it's something I just can't pick up. Is that possible?

My husband can make or fix anything. Anything, I tell you. The beautiful cherry four-paneled bookshelves in our living room? He made those. Ditto the entertainment center, our daughter's loft bed/playhouse, and her "big girl bed". Also the end tables in our bedroom. And he can fix anything — washing machines,…

I think a lot of teenage acne has nothing to do with face washing. In fact, face washing can make it worse. It's the sebaceous glands going apeshit.

Yeah. You can do better.
