Aw, crap, I'm sorry. It's cliche but true- I'm glad she had people who loved her so much.

I'm sorry for your loss, quite sincerely. Before we got our first corgi (my first dog), I had no idea what it really meant to have a dog. I couldn't have imagined how much I would love this damn dog, how much she would become part of our family.

Psst! I'm sure you had good intentions, but commenting on the typos in an article when you have errors in your own post is a little silly.

You forgot the superfluous apostrophe and "proof read" instead of proofread!

That's going to be me when my dog dies. I figure it's best to be honest with myself in advance.

Hah, yes. I realize it's not terribly romantic, but my actual wedding was less important than, let's say, deciding on a new car. My relationship with my husband is more important than almost anything else. It's not like the relationship was magically transformed by signing a piece of paper- I wasn't suddenly MORE…

It's not off topic at all. I wouldn't take a Christian Scientist's advice on weighing my options for medical treatment. (Hyperbolic, I know.)

For what it's worth from a random internet person, the sentiment doesn't read as "MRA" to me. We still hold dads to a very different standard, and it doesn't help anyone. I remember reading an article by a stay at home dad, about interacting with his kid's friends' mothers- basically that it wasn't exactly welcoming.…

Archiving is an important part of my email workflow, which isn't based on any particular method- it's been a gradual evolution over the last few years.

I pay someone to trim and buff my dogs' nails, because it's a pain in the ass and takes so much longer to do it myself.

Good point!

Sounds like we got different messages out of the article. My interpretation was based on lines such as:

I'm glad you shared- your story made me smile.

13 is the only Final Fantasy I ever started and never finished. Still my greatest gaming shame. :(

A two liner about excusing yourself because you have sex twice a day, on an article about sex and therapy and problems with intimacy isn't really "sharing your experience". Or much of an anecdote.

I agree that the "oh just you wait, whippersnappers!" shtick is bad- and so is the lack of sensitivity and tact it takes to come in and boast about your twice daily sex when others are opening up about their struggles.

DFW, Texas, sadly. :(

Kinda late, but I wish I could give you a million fucking stars. Especially the "oh, but it's okay if it's reconstruction, I don't mean THOSE women". Seems like a pretty obvious red flag that perhaps it's time to reexamine WHY someone thinks that.

Multiple balloons inflated in my stomach in an invasive procedure that likely has a very small sample group currently?

I sweat at night for some stupid reason, and have...well, really stubborn bacteria under my arms or something. I really, really hate the whole thing. So you'll pry my morning shower from my cold, dead hands.
