When I used to play FPS games, I learned it was better not to talk - because at the point in time, if someone noticed I was a girl, I’d get focused/targeted by the opposing team, or I’d have dudes try to chat me up. Rarely went without incident, even when playing with friends IRL on XBL. Turned me off of the genre, as

I can’t decide if he reminds me more of a toad or turtle.

To be fair, it happened at a condo on Schweitzer Mountain - a popular ski resort with some decent Summer recreation. I’m down the mountain from there at the moment - ~1 mile away - very rarely (if ever) see any encounters with bears in town. Usually just Moose. It’s rare enough to have happened on the mountain that it

I’m about 1 mile away from where that happened right now - we all have bird feeders. Also, Moose. Lots of Moose. (I’m not saying Meese. Ever.)

Are you kidding? 1991 and Fantasea were on point. Broke with Expensive Taste is an incredible, creative, yet energizing endeavor.

I don’t know, I’d be happy to feed their dog rather than buying a tea towel set.

You beautiful genius.

Pfft. I invited my whole class to my 6th birthday party (at Mickey D’s!) and not a single soul came (because I was a dirty haole, yay!).

That’s when you say “fuck it, I’m getting something awesome” and find a book, board game, stuffed animal, video game or whatever instead.

Honestly, I think people expect that if they’re attending a wedding, they’ll bring a gift. I don’t know if it’s necessary to say “We want cash!” as some people would rather cut a check anyway (as opposed to hunting down registry info, ordering something if a store isn’t close, wrapping it, and hauling it with them to

Same, but I also don’t know how you share info about registries. On a personal website/event page? Or does everyone have to go through the additional hassle of contacting somone in the wedding party to track it down?

Wooooo Amazon Wishlists!

LUCKY.

This is one of the reasons why I’m not having a wedding. Maybe it’s selfish, pessimistic, or negative, but I’m not about to have people complain to me that what I managed to throw together was somehow not up to snuff.

It was glorious! I watched Under the Tuscan Sun and The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug from the comfort of a three-person jacuzzi tub (to myself!) with neverending hot water (DW Californians, I conserved). :D

I think the most important thing is just making sure my kids are armed with information. I was lucky to have the internet available to me, to make up for what my school/parents didn’t provide me with. And I made a point of utilizing the resources available (i.e., Planned Parenthood) to ensure I didn’t screw myself

I feel you, as I tend to notice a skew as well, despite my priviliges, that result from my experiences and innate biases. (Raised by poor single mother of two children, who worked two jobs struggling to provide for us, while having the good fortune to be able to attend night school thanks to federal grants + family;

“Doing nothing” indeed. I don’t know, I kind of feel like this is an unintentional self-burn when responding to the premise that she doesn’t write her own lyrics...

HOoooooooly shit.

That’s messed up, that mom wouldn’t be content living in that smell either.
