We'd really prefer you keep them... you know, just to prolong the suffering. Biblethumpers practically cream their pants with glee at the mention of voluntary human suffering.

Lol well it was more of a slow trickle than a whole "flood" if you get my drift. But yeah it was pretty awful. I was white as a sheet by the time I finally made it into the doctor's office. Be very careful when skipping periods with your pills! That's how I ended up in that shitty situation.

I sincerely hope you're doing okay. Cysts are a painful and tricky business. I had one ultrasound (transvaginal) when my gyno was perplexed when my period went on for 40 days. I glanced at the screen and it looked like a sea of grey static to me. But I was fine, no babies, they just prescribed me some big 'ol estrogen…

Women who take birth control pills don't ovulate, therefore no wasted eggs. You'd think the pro-lifers would want to advocate it. Oh wait... the pro-life movement isn't about life at all, it's about controlling women's bodies. Because otherwise they would rally to make life more bearable for those of us already here.

Monster! It's okay, Larry. You can come live with me.

That's a wonderful idea, and very thoughtful of you as well. I'd be super thrilled if someone put that much time and effort into cooking for me. Do you have a recipe for the homemade dog biscuits? I tried to make them once before but they didn't turn out very well. At least the dogs seemed to like them.

*groan* Lady Gaga, stay the fuck out of my Lancaster. The Amish don't want you, and I sure as hell don't want you.

Ugh, your employers should have handled that situation better. Stuff used to get lost at my old workplaces all the time and no one ever called the goddamn police. But - funny story - I worked at a job once where I was so paranoid that my evil coworkers would try to slip something into my purse or coat in order to get…

I know the feeling. Fellow introvert here. We can get pretty good at pretending to be outgoing and social, but personally, I run out of steam after 2.5 hours. Just do what you need to do, grab a few moments of solitude whenever you can. Excuse yourself to step into the bathroom if you need to and just practice deep…

That is the most romantic thing I've ever heard.

I see what you're saying. If commitment and companionship is something that a person values, then avoiding it out of fear would be a sad way to go. I hope that you hang on to your optimism - it's a rare jewel in an age of poverty.

Hell, I wouldn't even touch the appetizers if they came from the same kitchen as that disease-ridden main dish.

In a word: yes. And the idea of having a forever roommate doesn't sound immensely rewarding to everyone.

Naked all alone time is the best. There are few joys in life comparable to the simple act of making a sandwich in your kitchen wearing nothing but your birthday suit.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was an option to be happily married to someone but live in separate houses? That would be perfect for me. You could meet for lunch, have a date night, sex, whatever, but then retire to your own private spaces. I wish you luck with your LDR. Maybe he feels the same way as you do - you…

That is a wonderful analogy, with the record skipping and stopping. That's precisely how I feel. Whenever I get a day to myself, I prefer to spend it locked in my "studio" being happily productive. Anyway, I'm just glad someone understands. Arty hermits unite!

What a shitty, sadistic, awful awful thing to do to another person. My state continues to heap shame upon me this week.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but does anyone else enjoy being alone...?
