This isn't a regular private college, but more the college equivalent of a conspiracy theorist who lives off the grid.

They give her shit because as a fanfic writer she plagiarized and lied about it when caught. And then she got a book deal out of it.

And the gay couple at the skate park!

Talk to the head of the program and ask for a leave of absence. Unless you're funded for a very specific grant, you can take time off and then return, provided you talk to them beforehand. Plus that'll make it much easier to transfer credits/start anew elsewhere if need be. If that's too hard to deal with, ask one of…

I feel ya. We have to do blood tests with the carprofen to make sure our dog's kidneys and liver are still functioning. Way cheaper than human tests without insurance, and definitely worth it, but still a pain in the wallet.

My dog's on the max daily dosage of carprofen for his weight and has been for 6 months now. If it kills his someday, I'll be very sad, but meanwhile he's a happy, squirrel-chasing puppy again. Better a shorter amount of quality time together, than a long time during which he suffers.

Legally the state would take custody of preemies so they'd get blood transfusions.

My favorite new review site is Erica Moen's comic:

I believe that there are marble busts that were created based on wax death masks. So, similar idea.

Don't believe it! Their flavor of Christianity (Gothard/Vision Forum/ATI/whatever), doesn't allow them to act unhappy. It's considered a sin. Every now and then you'll catch one of the older girls saying something like "I have to work on my contentment" on the show. It's a front they have to put on at all times.

"Coat can be made from red, blue, black, white or purple wool."

Some areas (Los Angeles, for example), reduce the price of a yearly dog license for seniors as well.My suggestion, however, would be to check out a rescue group that specializes in senior dogs before a shelter. They tend to know their dogs' quirks far better, have done more vet care, guarantee to take them back (often…

Thanks for your perspective. It's very interesting! His parents definitely taught him an unnecessary degree of helplessness, and they're also very religious. I guess my partner and I will just have to keep subtly (or not so subtly) brainwashing him with feminism, and calling him out on his bullshit.

Well, I definitely appreciate your advice. And I'll save any ass-kicking for early in the day, or when he's in his scooter and not his walker. It only seems fair.

That's amazing, and you sound amazing. And also I feel like way less of a weirdo by asking strangers for advice on dating with physical disabilities, because at least I'm not stopping them in the street!

It's certainly understandable but oh so frustrating.

So, pretty off topic, but do you have any suggestions of resources on dating with a physical disability? A good friend of mine has CP and is slowing falling down the misogynistic/MRA rabbit hole based on his self-perceived un-datablity. (He's an idiot. Plenty of women have shown interest in him, he just can't figure…
