(LOVE your name, as I was also raised by heathens and I identify as a W.A.S.H. instead of a W.A.S.P.) I dunno. I was a nurse for years, and my nursing instructor even said, "I bet your mother kept you in really white, lacy panties." meaning I was "gross averse". I never got used to gross stuff. One reason I went into…

It would be really meta to make a hearse out of metal body replacement parts, huh?

I have wondered where you were for-EVAH!

I have always had a curiosity about the dead, but how do you handle, (for example, when I knew I couldn't do it), was when someone local literally baked their child in the oven? Do you just become immune to those horrors? Or anyone who is not recently dead. Like those who,…

I had to admit I chuckled out loud when I saw this.

AWE-SOME! I just had my son come watch this to prove they didn't invent sex (just like my generation thought they did).

They ALL were (prudes)! It was bizarre. Our sweet psych instructor was telling us how some of the best nurses she has ever known became drug addicts. Her point was that due to their sensitivities, the most empathetic nurses need to dull that pain of their feeling for others. By the reaction of the other staff members,…

My husband absolutely SQUALLED. Heaving sobs, snotty nose and fogged glasses. It was so cute.

I will check that out for my granddaughter. She's only 4 now, but need to start thinking if it will be okay with my son and DIL.

My husband is about 1.5 inches shorter than me. He does almost everything around the house and he has a very demanding business. I don't think our height factors in so much as I don't know how to "do it right", so no use in both of us doing it. I will stay and play online while I listen to him do dishes and laundry.…

I had an old (1923) "Our Bodies, Ourselves", that I went through cover to cover, in 1972, when I was about 14 (though I already knew quite a bit since we had quite a bit of every kind of book in the house, including "Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex* *but were afraid to ask, The Happy Hooker, Playboys,…

Thanks, but it's just common sense to me. I've told my kids they wouldn't hesitate to say anything about their ears or elbows to me. Their genitals are just parts. No more, no less that anything else. (I'll take the compliment though and consider it my treat for the day. ;-) )

I have MS and I have had almost constant UTI's for the last several years. No insurance, so we couldn't find out for SURE why. I obtained insurance through the AHCA, (YAY!) and they saw that when I *think* I have emptied my bladder, it's still 1/2-2/3 full, which leaves me open to UTI's. So Mr. Dr. Dude, tells me that…

I agree. There are just some people in the world who are incapable of thinking beyond narrow parameters. There are a few things that are part of the human condition that I may not "feel" myself, but how can I judge someone else for what they say they feel? I am not omniscient and all knowing. Ugh.

No. Something went wrong along the way here. I vaguely remember this, and IIRC, the mom was a fuck-up deluxe. Even if she wasn't, hitting someone is not the answer. This child needed discipline from way back. Discipline means "teaching", not hitting. You model good behavior to children, and you teach them how to treat…

True. True. I live in the buckle of the Bible Belt, and that's the lens that most everything is viewed. Ugh.

Their concerns are usually from people in the community that use religious reasons to get their panties in a know about anything LGBT though.

One of many, many, many!

You very well may not have them. Postpartum can be a beast, but you may bypass that too. (All or part of that may just be lack of sleep too, and that possum that stays latched to you 24/7. Accept help, even if they don't "do it right".)

Yeah, Mom was in the rabbit test era. Of course they all smoked and drank and did…

Same with mine! When I had my first kid, I was induced, HARD, for two days (he was 13 days late) and when he was born, I torn from my vagina into my rectum. I was exhausted and in severe pain, plus I was nursing 24/7 (which they were scandalized by to begin with). I did NOT want company. All the biddies showed up in…
