Not to mention cleaning up before and after can be fun!

I don’t think it’s unromantic, drying stickiness just isn’t sexy fun.

When you come back from the bathroom, bring a wrung out, very warm, but not too hot washcloth and use it to clean his bits. I guarantee, he won’t complain about the abbreviated of cuddle...but you might end up setting a precedent. “What? No warm cloth?” *puppy eyes*

But she still doesn’t know where the voodoo witch doctors meet.

It depends. You could have a difficult time like the author or you could have an uncomplicated, quick birth and recovery. The best indicator is how easy/difficult labor, delivery and recovery were for your relatives (particularly on the maternal side). There is still variation within families but you can make an

There is also that option. My DH and I decided we weren’t doing holidays at anyone else’s home. It’s marvelous!

Well, cats lick each other to show affection. I think the toddler in question was following suit...or he was testing for ripeness. It’s hard to tell when they’re preverbal.

Lead a rebellion and invade the “adult” table. If they seem unwilling to “allow” the move, start telling the actual children about the adults’ sexual history. “Oh yeah, your mom was sooooo promiscuous in high school! I remember this one time when she was dating the basketball team...”

More than 1 or 2 children in the vicinity at a time. I used to not mind them, but now I’m all, “I’m not changing that diaper. Wipe your nose. Stop licking the cat! Don’t you have parents? Go away!” Naturally, any family gathering results in masses of children following me around because I am apparently the most

I got a really good deal on a Mini because the clutch was on its way out. I trashed what was left of it in learning to drive stick. It did cost $1200 to replace (mostly labor, you have to damn near disassemble the car to get to the clutch), but I still came out ahead. And driving on a new clutch was sooo much easier!

No. Only the photography/reproductions that they make.

The artwork itself is in the public domain since the creators died centuries ago, but my understanding is that the various captures (whether on film, hand-drawn or digital), belong to their makers. So, if you had a picture that you took, you could make your own knock-off line of Kells merchandise. But if you put their

Yes! We went to Disneyland when I was about 11 , my brother 9, my sister 4, and other brother was 2. I was the only one big enough for the real rides and didn’t get on a single one. It was a huge disappointment to schlep all the way to California just to wrangle younger sibs on the kiddie rides.

I’m pretty sure the trademark is for “official” merchandise. You can buy a print of a painting in the public domain from any number of retailers, but if you buy the print from the museum that owns it, you are more likely to be contributing to the funds that will be used to conserve that painting or others like it.

I hope every officer involved in this kind of incident is convicted of sexual assault. There is no excuse for this. None.

Other things to say to racist trashbags.
“You’re just jealous we’re multilingual!”
“SOMEone didn’t take her medication today!”
“Did you hear something? Must’ve been someone farting.”

My inner snark is saying, “Well, Mr. Great-White-Hunter, how do you like being chased around by people with ill intent, not so fun from this side is it?”

Whoa. 5’ 7” and 135lbs? Geez. I’m 5’ 6” and weight 138-140 depending on water retention, and
I wouldn’t consider myself huge by any stretch of the imagination...though I wouldn’t object to being that ripped.
I think that guys and gals who are all negative about muscular women have some serious personal insecurity

Futurama has my fav birthday song:

It leaves this cloying aftertaste. Blech! If I want to cut down on sugar, I just drink water, unsweet tea or mix my real sugar sodas 50/50 with club soda.
