Casing your house is an excellent idea, crazy as the rest of this manual sounds. As I said upthread, I was a courtroom artist for some years, and the thing I saw consistently was that home invasion stranger rapes often involve ingress through an open window. Sure, living fear-based sucks. But being attacked/robbed…

Yes, please don't. I was a courtroom artist for a few years, and what I learned was that, Ted Bundy aside, most predators are lazy and opportunistic. Meticulous home security won't protect you from date rape, spousal rape or incest, but a great deal of home invasion stranger rape involves ingress through an open…

Not being on any antidepressants and "dealing with your depression" may be a point of pride to you, and I respect that. However, for many people choosing to "deal with their depression" and avoid medication is a death sentence.

Agreed. 26 years clean and sober, but the last two-and-a-half years of complete remission from my depression are just as amazing, because it sure sucks to be sober and depressed.

I understand this. My best friend and I had a game we played at my family's cabin in the Adirondacks. It was called "Flailing Corpses". We would wander down the road for miles (70s latchkey kids) then fling ourselves on a snowbank just as a car passed.

I loved fish eyes and pot seeds, and would beg the grown-ups for them. In the early '70s, pot came from Columbia and my parents' hippie friends used to spend hours cleaning it on a window screen- when was the last time you even heard of someone "cleaning weed"?- and I would sit next to them and crunch up the seeds.

NYX!! Their Soft Matte Lip Cream is basically Velvetine, and their Macaron and Wicked Lippies come in all amazing colors. At about $4-6, and often BOGO at Sephora.

I love NYX, which makes all kinds of weird cool colors like LC but is made in Germany and super extremely cheap. NYX stuff works SPLENDIDLY.

Girl Scout cookies are gross. I just walked past the Girl Scout stand outside my supermarket, thinking, ugh, what do people see in these mass-produced hydrogenated-fat/palm oil nightmare chips. But I grew up in Manhattan and you didn't have a GSC season or the girls selling them everywhere, so I have no nostalgic…

Ah, that's what it is. I'm no athlete, but I truly, profoundly love a pretty penis when attached to a decent guy, and genuinely enjoy the cocksucking. Perhaps if I'd been able to conceal my enthusiasm I would not have been married so much, which might have been a better path.

Me too. 6 proposals, three marriages. Some people just attract it. And I am awesome, but I also have issues and cellulite, so it must be a pheromone thing.

Seriously! I took a long-ass survey they sent me this weekend and I basically loaded all ten dress reviews with anti-poplin, pro-jersey demands.

Two to three weeks is typical for eShakti. it's so completely, absolutely worth the wait. I just order something every three weeks or so, since they are constantly rotating styles, changing the sale options and sending me gift coupons. That way I always have something on the way!

Actually one time I was fucking my ex-boyfriend in the garden of St Luke's church in the West Village and I stood up after to smooth out my loooongg hair and it was full of... slugs. You could have heard my scream over at the White Horse.

I was at a restaurant the other night and the owner, when I mentioned I appreciated her leaving the door open because of hot flashes, shared her tip. She keeps a mini spray bottle full of water and a little aloe in her pocket or purse. She attaches the cap to the bottle with a string so it won't get lost, an OCD…

Agreed. Very encouraged about the end of this body stuff, plus the future serenity. Cause right now I sometimes say to my husband, "honey, I am so sorry but I am feeling really angry. It's purely hormonal, I don't actually believe there is anything in this situation to be angry about, but the feelings are very strong,…

For real. My hot flashes started in the last year, even though I'm only 48 and still having periods every two-three months, and they are THE HELL. Because I'm one of those people who can't stand to be hot or sweaty anyway, and then you add suddenly hot and sweaty with a side order of nausea after the flash. We live in…

I am super happy for her, and also I think her little tiny fingers are adorable.

I think that this mage is getting a lot of extra energy because of the creepiness of the photoshopped crotch. It's compelling because it's so weird. I think you're absolutely right- it looks so much like Barbie's crotch that it triggers all kinds of uncanny valley childhood memories. The curiosity and frustration of…

Does The Vin own any tops besides the white tanks? Not that I need him to. Can they even make shirts for his arms? I've seen all the F&F movies but I can't ever remember his arms being covered?
