YES! That was the one. It was such an ugly shade of white too. My asthma stabilised in adulthood, fortunately, so I’ve just got one for emergencies now instead of three times a day use, but it is so dainty! It’s almost cute in comparison to the beast of our youth.

Hello fellow childhood user of the huge and heavy nebulizer! Severe asthma? God, I hated that freaking machine with a passion.

I know! I need to keep him for another year and a half for visa purposes, but then I’m off to seek love with someone who appreciates my risotto!

Like I said, my opinion really depended on how they worded the question in the survey. My concern was that it was open to too much interpretation - “I’ll tell everyone you slept with me even if you don’t” is absolutely rape. “I’ll be your boyfriend if you sleep with me” is not, in my opinion. One is coercive, the…

Interesting perspective- I hadn’t considered that.

That sounds AMAZING. Jealous.

Oh Christ yes. That fucking song. I graduated elementary school in 2000 (Catholic school, so we go kindergarten to eighth grade, no middle school, so they make a fuss when you finish eighth), so I had to suffer through it in 2000 AND 2004. I hadn’t thought about that song in years. I wonder what happened to Vitamin C?

A cheer routine to Papa Roach? Gotta admit, I am intrigued!

Well, that’s not a lie at all, that’s rape.

Points taken, and I actually agree with you - when I said non-disclosure, I was specifically referring to the conversation I was having about an individual’s trans status with DonnaL.

Thank you so much for your response. It was really thought provoking, and I appreciate you taking the time (I’m sure it must get irritating to be the voice of a group of people).

Ya know, I didn’t ask! I did my Masters in London- if you feel comfortable, where are you going? (No worries if you don’t want to disclose of course)

I know- I tell him regularly that my next husband will appreciate risotto.

Do tell about the maple bacon peanuts....Please.

Welcome to the UK, fellow ex-pat. The most important things you need to know are that pants = underwear, and suspenders = garter belt and stockings.

I once spent many hours making a risottto (alllllllll the stirring.....maybe it wasn’t hours, but it bloody well felt like it!) for dinner. It was a bacon, beer, and cheese risotto. M husband’s three favourite food groups. He took one bite, screwed up his face, and asked if this was risotto. I said it was, proudly,…

I have no idea how old you are, but I too was raised in a conservative religious household, and I lost my virginity several years later than my peers. It’s an anxious game trying to catch up! Guy sounds like a douche bag, so ya dodged a bullet there. But from one escaped religious conservative to another, as you get…

Love your user name :) It looks a bit alarmingly luminescent when you squeeze out the first few drops, but once rubbed in, underneath foundation, it just adds a lovely glow, like you’ve been lounging by a pool relaxing. If you have even toned skin (alas, mine is clear, but some parts are pinker than others), you could…

I’m a supporter of transgender rights, and I would never consider non-disclosure a rape in most circumstances (exceptions being, presumably very rare things like expecting to be penetrated by a sex toy and getting a penis instead). I believe you’ve commented on Jez before and id’ed as a transwomen (so sorry if I’m…

I feel ya - I had to temporarily go out on disability recently, and before I knew my company was going to mostly cover me, I was having a complete heart attack. Sure, money won’t buy you happiness, but by God, will it make that happiness a bit more secure. Wishing you, your fiancé, and your daughter the very best -…
