"...who doesn't want to laugh, right?" I'm just going to throw this out there, I can laugh at will, not just tiny guffaws either, I can do big belly laughs, and it feels just as good as spontaneous laughter. I'm curious about how many of you can laugh at will too, so far it seems I'm in the extreme minority.

When my son was 7 he said that "Well, no one seems to know what God is, so how can I possibly believe or not believe in God?". Which seemed pretty reasonable to me.

T-back or racer-back bras were my answer to this problem. They are harder to find as regular wear bras and not sports ones, but well worth the search. As a plus, they are frequently front clasping which makes them a little faster to put on.

I'm fully with everyone else that recommends a second opinion, it just doesn't sound like your doctor is really listening to you or taking your problem seriously enough. Did your doctor even suggest you see a sleep specialist? If you haven't been to a sleep clinic already you should ask your doctor for a referral.

Well, I grew up in the movement and can say with certainty that there are plenty of evangelicals that don't think wives should work, as well as those who don't think wives should earn more or have jobs that in anyway impinge more on the home life of the family than the mans or not at all.

You would think that, but that is not how (many) conservative evangelicals think about it. They are into traditional gender roles, and women having high powered careers is not something they support, they see it as emasculating to men(you don't want to hurt your poor husband's feelings do you? That's not what Jesus…

I second Eco-geek. This is a seriously dated statement. Next you are going to proclaim that American coffee/wine/skiing("...but it's not the Sierra Nevada's...") is terrible too. We do some things poorly, but please, take us task on what actually merits scorn. Also, if you want to try and expand your horizons a bit…

I got one step that gives me the life I want, I call it "stop doing stupid shit".

Your random attractive/hot person, sure, anyone should be able to handle that. Every once in awhile, however, you meet someone or you find yourself in situation where *all* bells and whistles go off and you are dumbstruck, at least for a bit. It is not so much that all you can think about is how much you'd like to…

That's a bit of a different scenario, that's the thing about being parent, there are very few hard and fast rules about what works and what doesn't. Obviously guidance and attention and not abusing them, but everything else is dependent on the family situation and the temperament of the child. Ultimately, I don't…

I don't hate her per se, in fact if I met her I might like her; but like many, I am disgusted by just about everything she represents, over consumption, narcissism, etcetera. I don't see what is anti-feminist about that, especially since I equally dislike in an equally symbolic way Kim's overgrown brat of a…

I'm torn on this as well. Personally, I'm not really against my son using the internet to explore his sexuality as a hypothetical...but there is a lot of super creepy shit out there and as it stands there aren't filters that are capable of distinguishing between what is bad and what isn't. Honestly, it probably won't…

Marriage has thus far been an interesting exploration and witnessing of the others humanity for Mr. Nutkana and I. We genuinely enjoy the others presence, as well as being parents. Our sex life is waaay wilder than it was when we got together. Sometimes we travel with our child, sometimes without, even without the…

I'm completely with you, down to the fantasy about the 'rents(mine can be really troubled assholes). I've been married seven years, and never once thought of killing my spouse, even during our worst arguments. It genuinely bothers me that we have these story lines in our culture about how much love makes us…

Yes. It has been so long since I attended Catholic school, but I still find perverse joy in profaning the sacred.

If it is coerced or manipulated it ceases to be mutual, and there are plenty of those who lie, manipulate, and coerce others into unprotected sex. I'm not saying you are one of them, but it happens regularly, and it is incredibly selfish. I've known many women who have experienced it, and their stories are similar to…

It is practically the definition of selfish to put someone else at risk for the sake of your own pleasure.

They should to make abortifixes(a fetus on a cross) too. I would buy one. The significance is not lost on me. Abortions are a kind of sacrifice, like many of the other things we do.

I'm totally with you on treating alcoholism and those with mental health problems, but plenty of drunk driving is committed by those who are not alcoholics. For this, bars should either pay a tax for a "drunk bus" service, a system wherein they no longer externalize the cost of their patrons boozing. Just a thought.
