I for one would actually like to know what they ate. Not so I can snark, but he and his wife seem to have good taste, and I'm curious about what they picked. Is this information available anywhere?

Why is spring?

On a somewhat related note, a friend's mom posted an article from a known conservative click bait site about how egregious it is for Obama to go to Hawaii with his family during the holidays. How it means he's dragging along his entire staff to such a horrible, miserable destination when they should be with home their…

It's been pretty well established at this point that as far as his political opponents are concerned he can't do anything right. If he turned water into wine and healed the sick with a touch, the fox headlines would be "President threatens to destroy alcohol, health care industries."

Honestly, this racism goes beyond anything I would have expected back in 2008... Apparently it's only newsworthy when a black person:

This isn't a dig at you, just a statement of the obvious - lots of us look at how Obama is treated by Conservatives and the media NOW and feel great shame.

The Conservative media will never be happy. Obama could give everyone in America a puppy and they'd say it was an act of aggression because some people are allergic.

People with clicky-typing-noise phones deserve whatever awful things happen to them. So do people who use the Old Spice jingle as a text alert. Sweet Jeebus. Hope things are looking up soon for you.

Yes, we need to communicate. Yes, we need to be dedicated to our own pleasure and pursuit of self-knowledge. But please don't act like men have never given a woman a hard time for speaking up. Communication does not work when you are not receptive, so it is on both parties to communicate. The listener needs to create…

Some women orgasm more easily than others. For some women orgasming is important... for others it's not. It's extremely presumptuous to call people "pathetic" just because they experience sex in a different way than you do.

It sounds like the difference here between your lovely relationship and those mentioned in the article is that your husband is able to take on this information and happily willing to try harder for you to get pleasure too. That's in stark contrast to what Lisa in the article said about her husband, who did seem to put…

I tried masturbating several times over the course of my late teens and early twenties and I never got anywhere close to reaching orgasm. I read websites, I talked to my friends, I bought a vibrator, nothing worked. I vividly remember bursting into tears after having sex with my boyfriend once because I was so…

Might wanna channel all that blissful orgasmic energy into working on those empathy skills then.

Can we fucking stop with this shit? All this talk. All these articles about how sex can be great, suuure, without orgasms. ONE LITTLE DETAIL in all these articles though - almost all the women who don't come with their man are usually getting themselves off alone. I don't know about anyone else, but when I MASTURBATE,…

...and I can't imagine being a giraffe. So?

I totally get that it's tricky, which is why i don't expect it for private events. Like I'll eat an undressed salad and call it a day. I just expect more for stuff done in an academic/corporate context cause I feel lie they're supposed to accomodate that sorta stuff-and the best/most professionally run conferences do.

With you on this one. Of course, you still have to respond to the RSVP even if you don't want to attend. How else can the sender know that all of the invites actually arrived at the appropriate destination and were received??

I'm a property manager myself, and we are very careful to remain above reproach on sexual harassment. It's really not hard to do, but somehow we hear stories about it all the time from new tenants about previous landlords.

I'd imagine your landlord is also barred from stealing your things, but there you have it. Unfortunately, shady landlords often ignore legal restrictions like this because they can be difficult to enforce.

It doesn't have to be written notice, but he was required to give me a call 24 hours in advance of any visit to the property (it was a house divided into two apartments, so if he came into mine, the yard, or the shared basement, I was supposed to be notified). Ha.
