Kansas: Who cares what's on land? See the Milky Way! Louisburg: biggest telescope in six states, open to the public Saturday nights from May-October. Asteroid monitoring so you'll know when to get your party on if it turns out humanity is doomed.

Pretty sure yologuy was being sarcastic.

Sometimes I feel like this too. And then I remember songs like "Oh Babe, What Would You Say?" from the sweet, sappy 70's and gag on the cheese. Just kidding. "Count On Me," "Today," "Miracles" by Airplane/Starship do it for me (though "Miracles" was spectacularly dirty while also being spectacularly romantic and…

Oh, don't worry about their poor little unrealized possibility of sex. Not that you do worry about that. My guess is you are very good-looking. Some guys enjoy the chase for its own sake. They'd rather flirt with you, and not ultimately get sex with you, than to give up the chase. They're getting fun out of it, I…

If they came out and said they wanted non-committed casual sex, they wouldn't get sex most of the time. They are depending on a couple months of ambiguity.

There should be a new song, "If you want it then you shoulda put a label on it."

I guarantee you he knows this conversation is the expected norm. I guarantee you he knows there will be a time when he needs to clarify the relationship status or leave. And I guarantee you that how you put it, won't make a bit of difference as to the outcome. He either wants a committed relationship with you or he…

9 p.m. on a Saturday? 5 p.m. on a Saturday, for that matter?

In my day, I know it's considered "game playing," but it was kind of a thing not to accept invitations for the weekend after Thursday. Because you wanted them to understand you had an active social life.

I need the Dummies version of how they do it in Europe. I know they hook up. How do they negotiate whether it's morphing into a relationship? Sorry so dumb. I have been conditioned by 30 years of mandatory "Don't ask/Don't tell or you are a clingy psycho" in the USA.

I'm pretty sure all this "hanging out" would stop if there weren't an endless supply—perceived or real—of available high-quality mates on the open market. I also think online dating gives an unprecedented impression of a vast, endless supply of hotties who will be endlessly available. Some people in their 30's,…

Every single guy who has ever wanted a friends with benefits with me has expected me to figure out what they wanted.

I know someone who ended up in a whole sex memoir book. http://www.amazon.com/Making-Love-An…

The apostrophe rule is not true. My boyfriend swears by fuckin' kale and he's skinny.

I'm from the South and now living in KC...anything down to about 5 is no big deal once I learned to dress for it. I walked about 3 miles 2 nights ago and shoveled snow for about an hour in about 10 degrees yesterday and was toasty warm. Some of the suggestions here are great—wool socks (they are divine),…

I felt the same way about the much-hated movie American Beauty. NO ONE was coming out with an anti-materialism message in 1999, except that movie and Fight Club. I didn't care about the parts of American Beauty others found trite or problematic—the sappy factor, the midlife crisis factor, or the bad guy turning out…

And every time they do a remake of Gatsby, a ton of people wish they were Gatsby and Daisy.

I think we crashed the site.

I'm in a bell choir. I'm pretty good on the music, and keep my mouth shut when others (rather frequently) make mistakes while playing. Everyone doesn't make mistakes, but three people around me make frequent mistakes. Playing the wrong note, clanging the bells together accidentally during a silent part, and…

What's this story?

Our preacher just preached about angels this Sunday and said they aren't fluffy white. They look just like any other person. They're the person with a flat tire that you stop to help. They're the tired cashier who's just been chewed out by the customer in line in front of you. They're the teenager working the…
