Had a problem with puppy biting. Pretending it hurt got nowhere so got some bitter apple spay from the vet (don’t use some of these hi tech “replant” sprays they don’t work) and an old long sleeve shirt.

This is what I do at parties.

Also teach your kids not to go running to an unknown dog with arms flying and making loud noises. Dogs don’t always know how to interpret these gestures. 

Well, on the one hand, my parents are both well educated and make a lot of money, and they’ve been together for over 30 years.

For the Phlebotomist vs. Librarian question, it may be just a question of your interactions with other human beings. The librarian can be seen as the helpful person who shows you where your books can be found, so there is more of a likelihood to engage in banter, and perhaps develop somewhat of a relationship. The…

I recognized about 4 of those titles

Dr. Bajillion’s short takes:

TWO: If that’s the best relationship you’ve ever been in, and you’re 20 years younger than the married dude you’re in a relationship with, you’re in it for the money, he’s in it for the sex, and his wife’s staying in it for the money. All of you people suck.

There is nothing inappropriate about the feelings of a person whose marriage has been hijacked by a third person, and they can speak to those feelings any way that they want. That woman obviously wants this experiment to end, and if anyone’s feelings are being disregarded, it’s the wife. The girlfriend is the least…

I think it should be considered a really bad practice in general for anyone to enter a “poly” relationship without speaking with the other partner. And I don’t mean a “I know this is happening” confirmation, but an actual conversation to understand the health of their relationship and what they intend to get out of…

Ah, the fantasy of poly relationships working! My favorites are the ones that start with “my partner and I are in love and love living the poly life. Except. . .”

For some reason, everyone in terrible relationship have to start by insisting it wonderful relationship.

Oh wow I hope all these fat nerds can find a way to keep pretending they’re libertine post-war Europeans while they make each other miserable

The neck thing and chin hair is the worst. My favorite weird new body thing that I assume is menopause: my armpits have gone bald. Just, no more hair there. But my legs are hairier, so there is justice.

Nine or ten? I’m 50. Still waiting for my mom to give me the sex talk.

generally, it’s a fear of specific things as a result of how you were raised or taught. Like, people are scared of spiders, but not mosquitoes. But spiders don’t typically bite people, and they don’t carry diseases that we are worried about, where as mosquitoes are all those things.

Have you ever tried dancing to modern jazz or neolcassicism strings?

Somebody to Love or Crazy Little Thing Called Love are much more fun. Bohemian Rhapsody is an invitation for people to act out Wayne’s World.

You know what’s common about most of these songs?

I completely disagree with having a list of “must not play” songs. Don’t request them yourself. If you are a DJ, don’t play them uninvited. If the guests request them, play them. I was a DJ in the past and I found there was no faster way to ruin a dance than to have to tell guests that the song they wanted wasn’t…

Who the hell bans Queen from their wedding? (Bohemian Rhapsody is tied at #34 on the Five Thirty Eight list)
