Agreed. This is a great example of two people sharing a sense of humor and being able to joke with each other in a way they wouldn't necessarily with other people. Every decent comedian knows it's not just the joke you tell, it's who you tell it to and when. The point of the story isn't even the joke, it's the bond…

It honestly doesn't bother me any more than the nude underwear. I actually like it when you can see it through cut-outs etc.

"The bigger the better the tighter the sweater, the boys are counting on us!"

Thing is, he doesn't have to understand why it upsets you. If there is a kind of humor your partner is uncomfortable with, you either shut that down and find something else to "joke" about or you find someone who shares the same humor as you. Continuing to say things that upset your partner because they don't upset you…

Hem weights will only do so much, and in any case are not always suitable. In this case, her dress was made of very floaty, light fabric and weights would have ruined it. Particularly any weights heavy enough to counteract the updraft caused by a helicopter.

That's exactly it! It's so nearly great. But the execution...

To some few much is given. That's the only way I can explain it. The only appropriate response is to appreciate and wonder.

Hugh Jackman is...I dunno, but he's not explicable by regular human physics. The fact that he seems like a genuinely nice guy on top of it all is just salt in the wound.

Awww, this gave me all the feels. Love horses, love people who love animals, and I love people who can put other creature's needs before their own. 36 years is a good long life for them, and it sounds like he had a good death. I'll raise a glass to that.

"God knows a lot of sexually experienced people could use a little instruction as well, if OkC is anything to go by."

I'm on a real Shakespearean bender right now. Can't stop won't stop finding Kenneth Branagh adaptations on Netflix. Everyone hates Love's Labour's Lost but I think it's hilarious.

Bear in mind, this was when I was going through a super pretentious period in my early twenties. Plus I had only ever heard one kind of American accent. A New York or Bostonian accent is pretty sexy, I think. And I adore a Minnesotan accent- I used to pay $50 more per trans-Atlantic flight so that I could layover in…

Personally, I don't think that having sex for the sake of having had sex always works out great, if you see what I mean. I know a lot of people who have sex in order to not be a virgin any more, and most of them said it wasn't really worth it. Having done it once or twice doesn't really make you that much more…

God, this reminds me so much of the episode of Will and Grace where she tries to break up with her boyfriend and he just says "I don't accept."

I always used to maintain that American accents were the least sexy, because they're so nasally. Of course, now I'm married to an American.

Welsh lass here! My experience is that most people in Britain don't "get" the "I'm fill in the blank European country here" thing unless they've been to America. Before I came to live in the U.S., I thought it was a weird impulse to grab at a "heritage" and an "authenticity" that didn't really belong to them.

YES. You sound a lot like my husband actually- he'd lived alone for 8 years before we met, whereas I've always lived either with family or flatmates. So he's more territorial than I am, and moving into a place that was *ours* rather than his or mine already was really important.

I don't think it's stupid at all! Living together day to day without wanting to shove the other person out the window is really the trick, because otherwise all the other stuff is kind of beside the point. We've spent lots of time together during holidays and stuff, but it's not like real life at that point. I figure…

That makes a lot of sense. It's like you get the hang of being together in one sense, and then you've got to adjust to a whole new set of challenges.

Oh yeah, grad school is testing enough for anyone. It's difficult to give time to a relationship at the same time, and then there's the stress to be dealt with...I'm always in awe of the people in my department who somehow manage kids on top of else.
