No, she's a golden retriever and the clumsiest dog I've ever seen. She'll fall seemingly at random. Some weeks when she's fallen on the stairs one too many times I have to walk her down them because she's too scared to do so herself. And when it ices or snows? I have to half-carry her outside to pee because she's…

I had to laugh. My dog is better with babies than I am. She'll sit there, not taking her eyes off the baby, and as soon as it starts to cry she's right there snuggling and licking until it stops crying again. The only problem is she's really clumsy and is a big dog, so I have to watch her to make sure she doesn't…

I'm going to go out on a limb here on how they came to these conclusions... are six of those ten countries ones with enforceable religious laws? And if that's the case, could it be less of OMG MUSLIMS ARE SEX CRAZY and more the internet is a safe place to explore the same sexuality every human on the planet has? If…

I can't really get mad at this. My father was a huge influence in growing up geeky and that was how we bonded. I actually spent more time with my dad messing with power tools and the guts of a computer than my brother did. My dad sometimes jokes that I'm his son when he wants to tease me. So if this encourages…

Keep screaming, asshole. It's people like you that made me realize there was something terribly wrong with the anti-gay side and abandon how I was raised, which in turn led me to realize it was okay that I myself was gay. You might have a congregation now, but I promise you that the next generation will look at what…

I just about spat tea all over my keyboard. Totally not what I expected to see on this thread. Well done.

You know someone has reached a new low when Godwin's Law doesn't work.

I love snakes, and I think that would scare me.

I could hold a tarantula. They're in sight and I can control our interaction. It's the bastards that sneak up on me that have left me with an unreal fear of them. Two incidents stand out... when I was a little girl, I looked down and saw a wolf spider on my nightgown. Except the nightgown was very thin white…

I've been keeping the fact I'm gay from my Bible study group for some time. It doesn't bother me much, as I had a great pastor in college that gave a talk on keeping secrets from other Christians and why we shouldn't have to feel guilty about it in some situations. Basically, it's not a sin for me, it's a sin for…

Sooo many thoughts about this, but I don't have the heart to type them all out and there's tons of other awesome comments already. So I'll just say instead that my girlfriend "made" me watch her favorite movie, "But I'm a Cheerleader" not long after we started dating and now that's all I can think about when I hear…

That was the cherry on top of the sundae of depressing.

Of course not, because those types usually come from the unfortunate segment that believe that faith and science are incompatible - unless it supports their views, of course.

I bet that niche is right around where the majority of the neighborhood owns their own house, but can't afford a lawn service. That seems to be the neighborhood I just moved into and I've gotten to know so many people just from being outside working.

Eh... I think this is more likely a money thing than food. Organic costs more, so well-off people will be buying it. They tend to have more assholes per square inch than other income groups, at least, sometimes it feels that way. It's like there's a magic range of income where someone makes enough to feel justified…

When I joined a medieval reenactment group, my father told me that if I didn't have a medieval themed wedding, he would be forever disappointed, and that he wanted to help make the dress. I intend to hold him to this promise, assuming my state someday legalizes gay marriage. My dress will have sleeves and a long…

For a while now I've felt mildly guilty that there are certain individuals on my Facebook feed simply because I enjoy watching online trainwrecks. Should I really be quietly watching their lives, relating every post to what I know about them irl, and laughing my ass off at the drama and shaking my head at the…

This tumblr makes me want to get drunk and write a Twilight/50 Shades crossover fanfic, despite not having read either book. Just to see if it creates a singularity of suck.

Disclaimer: we're both women, so I'm not sure how well this applies to guy/girl dynamics, but I would hope it would be about the same.

Neat! I went to Planned Parenthood for the first time in my life to get tested. I was a virgin at the time, but my girlfriend wanted us to start things out safe and get me used to thinking about these things. It was a really positive experience, I was embarrassed as hell and the clinic sent me home with a grab-bag,…
