@dragon_tamer: my mom 10 years ago too! She had a whole bucket of them. And would often leave for work with a forgotten curler stuck to her head :)

@DianaCrabtree: meh, every couple organizes their finances differently.

@jemandtheholograms: @SuperMeels: @rollergirl76: I am so in this camp. I want to be cool with it, but I can't get over the poo aspect. I don't want my fingers to smell like ass funk, I don't want to go anywhere near anyone's asshole, I don't want anyone anywhere near mine. I just think of all the fecal bacteria

I have to wonder how it's possible for a person to have a 20 pound cyst in their guts, squishing their organs, and not notice. But I've heard of that happening before too.

@Ginger Gal: @FurrierAndIves: I have had this too...I think I had Norwalk. I vomited like a geyser and shit like a volcano, simultaneously, for hours. Luckily my tiny apartment bathroom allowed me to lay my head on the side of the sink while sitting on the toilet. I thought I might die.

i just use those little flags / sticky-tags from the office supply store (usually just the paper post-it type tabs). that way i can bookmark the exact paragraph i stopped at, and my bookmark is stuck to the page so it won't fall out even if it's in my bag.

I have done this a few times, but inevitably I look at the password hint and say "WTF does that mean?"

Good plan. I have been wanting to set up a doggie-cam in our apartment to see what the dogs get up to when we aren't home...

@formerflautist: ohhh that is awful. i had an upper cartilage piercing get infected and swollen, but i took it out and it oozed goo and then healed shut. thank goodness nothing like this happened.

@OneTwoPunch: yes, sorry...this topic makes me incredibly prickly because so many of us who have been abused and told someone were brushed off as "just having bad memories" or "just imagining things." Having the courage to tell someone and not being believed is really soul-killing. So reading about this false memory

I've organized all my shoes into clear plastic boxes. Keeps the dust off of them and I can see what's in each box. The only downside is that I'm less likely to wear something if it's in a box above my closet...

@BoxMeowBox: re. "my eyes always go to people's shoes when I first meet them. Shoes and they way they are worn and cared for can provide a lot of personality clues..."

I am terrible at saying no, so I think this photo/quote will be my inspiration. If sexy ladies can sell vodka, hopefully they can also sell a self-esteem wakeup call.

@gold lion: thank you for sharing this info. I live in Canada, and I feel fortunate for the services we have here...gotta pay it forward.

@OneTwoPunch: Although I understand what you're getting at, your comment kind of offends me.
