Stuff can’t get through. You just pop the tip off and wash, dry. I wipe the handle off with a dampened cloth if lube or things get on the body of it (it’s not waterproof sooooo) But yeah, it’s SUPER easy to clean and worth the loot imo.

That first paragraph made me cry. Same. I lost everyone we were both friends with (kept the ones who were MY friends... They all saw scary/worrying stuff in him before I did) and he convinced everyone I was awful/cheated on him. People still think I was the bitch who ran out on him. I’m really sorry you’re dealing…

The pain thing was a huge part of my noping one. Also I’m 1000% childfree and don’t need it to be reversable. So I had a tubal instead bc yay permanent, yay knocked out for most painful bits. ;) They suggested IUDs as a different option and I was adamantly not game. I am a pain wuss.

Oh! And they LOVED the art and showed it off to the guests proudly. :)

I did see it! And thank you for such a sweet comment. :)

Yeah, not a billionaire sex god. More like abusive, bad Dom. The book is really really dangerous in the inaccurate, unsafe way it depicts s/D relationships and problematic as hell. He should stay far away. I cannot believe this movie was given a go. The BDSM community was (still is?) upset about it, it's like a…

IMO, when you adopt an animal, you've made a commitment to take care of him or her until they pass on. Not until the kids get bored or the cat is old or the dog isn't a cute puppy any more. And some people DO just feel that way about animals, that they hold a lesser spot in the family, but a lot of us don't. And I…

:/ I recently had one hostess notice that I was anxious about where she was seating us (a tabletop in the center of a big open restaurant. I have this weird social anxiety thing with having my back to a big space like that. I blame my scary ex-husband still living in my town. I don't like not being able to see the…

It made sense to me, too. My EDNOS is tied up with anxiety and that comes out as self harm. I'm a puncher/slapper, not a cutter. But it's all part of the same thing. I think ED/anxiety/self harm are often linked in one big nasty mix.

UGH. I didn't want to get involved in this train wreck but this comment kills me. No, you cannot avoid all possible triggers. HOWEVER, something like a smell or sound that is incredibly specific to one person is worlds different than a widely recognized trigger that affects many people.

Commitment to fitness and being fit =/= having this sort of socially acceptable, thin body. I'm an ultra runner. I'm fit as hell and am strong. I'm also bigger than you and this woman. I'm not overweight but I'm not skinny or super low body fat... I'm just muscular/average looking. Because, while I am dedicated and a…

I got married in Jamaica at an all inclusive. Folks were invited but I did NOT expect anyone to come. And that's what happened. My folks and two couples that are their friends (and who go to Jamaica with my folks typically anyway) came along. That's it. We had a backyard BBQ at my parent's house a few months later…

Except Michael never finishes a thought the WHOLE MOVIE and that drove me batty. But yeah, he's still the better choice. For sure.

I've seen one YouTube vid where our benevolent overload Mish commented on the casual misogyny in the show itself, too. He's just good people. Full stop. His responses on Twitter to both PSH and the whole Bieber issue were classy and witty without being mean, respectively.

I will give you that an infestation would be horrible and upsetting. I haven't had to deal with that, luckily. Rats aren't aggressive to humans, typically, though so as scary as that would be, at least there is that. I'm probably LESS apt to wig at fearless wild rats, as I'm used to interacting with mine. But that…

Nope. Same species. That rat pictured is a Norway rat, just like most wild rats. There are also roof rats who are wild, but roof rats tend to be smaller and have mostly been forced out of their living spaces by the larger, more aggressive Norways. Roof rats tend to be more arboral while Norways are ground/subterranean.

Well, I think rats are awesome and I currently live with six of them in my house.

Ugh, so jelly.

I've got my awesome, totally worth the loot, Vaute Couture trench. It's so fucking hard to find a vegan trench, that it was Worth It to pay tons to a small, independent, totally vegan fashion designer. It's long and thick and the collar turns up and it's made for Chicago wind and winters... so almost okay with MN…

Yeah, I get cold easily but I can tolerate it way better than non-MN folks. Like, I'll run in below zero weather, I just bundle well.
