Oh I've definitely dated worse tattoos in Seattle. In fact, one of my ex-neighbors got this dragon thing with an Eye of Sauron or something on his back. He showed it to me. I tactfully asked, "Um... what's the red thing? Is it an eye?" His response, "Some people think it looks like a pussy." Nice job, dude.

I had mercifully forgotten about butt-chugging, hahahahahahaha!!!

I had a flamboyantly gay prof in college who was known for those sort of responses as well. He had stationary printed "From the bootylicious desk of Dr. XXXXX" It was awesome.

I wasn't fat in high school - even though I was constantly taunted for being fat, but I regret going too. I planned to skip it. My parents made me go. I went late, left early. My mom and I dress-shopped together. I dragged my 27 year old boyfriend. My parents hated him (rightly so, in retrospect) and my curfew was…

OMG so much sass.

Oh god, I love Boston bros. LOVE. My biggest regret is that I was in a serious long-term relationship the whole of the time I lived in Boston. Considering going back, solely for Boston bro sex.

I hate the Lion King. Thank you for this.

^^THIS. I legit have celiac disease (and I have the endoscopy/biopsy results to prove it). I wasn't sick growing up, but I got sick around the time I turned 30. It's miserable and hellish if I eat gluten. I try to check places out ahead of time if I know I'm eating out. When we're seated, I usually ask the server if…

Ok. Postscript. I'm working a sporting event until late tonight. I told him I could maybe see him after, but it would probably be late - like after 10. He said, "let me know if you're free." He seriously just texted me and was like, "I'm so tired, I don't know if I'm going to make it until you get off work. But text…

That's what I suspect. But hey, maybe it will turn into something more, or maybe I'll just get laid for awhile until I meet someone awesome. Thanks! It's better than stewing about the last boyfriend situation that turned out so unbelievably badly. :/

I think it did. She was fortunate to have you as her caregiver. The too-late/too-soon question is impossible to answer. All you can do is your best, with the information you have available to you at the time. You obviously loved her and the decision you made, you made out of love and in her best interests. We never…

I went through this two years ago with my beloved 19 year old cat. He was decrepit, but still had a pretty good quality life. Then he suddenly collapsed one night and I rushed him to the ER. They did some tests, couldn't figure out what was wrong with him and whether his hind legs would ever work again, or if we would…

I have nothing helpful, but I'm sorry you're having a rough week. :(

Ok help. I've been waiting for this all week. I'm in my mid-thirties, divorced. After my divorce, my ex moved on into another Serious Relationship immediately and I went into full Blanche Devereaux mode, as I always sort of thought I would. It's been two years now, and it's been a fucking blast, but here's what I've…

Holy shit I think that's the worst thing I've ever read. I mean, it momentarily made me reconsider my pro-rough sex stance. /shudder

I lived in Dallas for one year. I don't know who that Laurie person is, but I like the cut of her jib.

Oh man. I was 22, and my now-ex-husband (but then-boyfriend) was also 22. I was the second girl he'd slept with and he was my fifth (god, was I worldly). It was the summer after we had graduated college and I was visiting his mom's house for a long weekend. First time meeting her, first time spending any appreciable…

Like the Richter brothers!

Not apples to apples (I KNOW), but it's like the big PSYCH WorldVision pulled the other day. WE'RE TOTALLY GOING TO HIRE MARRIED GAYS NOW FOR OUR RIGHT WING CHARITY. Twenty-four hours later, actually no, sorry, we're not. We've reevaluated and we still think gays are the work of the devil. #oops

There's one in Bellevue too. Or Kirkland. Or somewhere on the east side that I never go to.
