My father’s family is from Sandusky and many of them were Freemasons. Hmmmmmmm.

Isn’t that awful? I devloped my shellfish allergy in my mid-20s and it’s such a PITA. I also recently moved to the Bay Area, so eating around it is far more difficult than it used to be.

I have a friend with multiple severe food allergies — peanuts, chicken, eggs, oranges and a few others. It sucks and limits his abilities entirely, but it’s imperative that restaurant employees take him seriously because it DOES mean life or death for him. Case in point: he tried a sample from an Indian vendor at a…

Wtf is a “mini loaf”? And “cinnamon puff” sounds highly unhealthy.

At the same time though, Jif and Kraft and all the (delicious) grocery store PB is really more like “peanut-flavoured sugar margarine.”

My stepfather’s pirated VHS collection was so large that the tapes took up an entire wall of shelves in our living room and he had a hand-written directory to find movies with. Any movie we liked that we rented from Blockbuster got pirated so we could keep it forever xD

His dick is actually 7.5-8”, not 10+ ... just wanted to throw that out. People get really confused on dick size and usually think they’re a lot longer than they really are. I know the first time I slept with my partner I thought for sure he was at least 10” but a couple months later he let me measure and he was…

Thanks for the tip! I will absolutely check that out.

Me too! I could tequila forever <3

Looooove Santa Cruz and the boardwalk is pretty good when you want some kitsch. If you’re looking for a less nutso experience, the next beach over is usually less crowded and you can still hear the screams from the rides at the boardwalk.

It’s really difficult. My anxiety manifests with a LOT of physical symptoms. I’ve made four ER trips in the past five years with symptoms that felt real enough to me but were all likely caused by my anxiety. I am now working with my doctor and taking medication, but it’s so hard to distinguish when you’re in the thick…

My freshman year of high school, I had pretty terrible taste in guys. I had been dating this utter skeezeball named Trevor for a little under two weeks when the homecoming dance arrived. It was a big deal for freshman me. I got my hair done and bought a really pretty sparkly blue dress for the occasion. Sadly, it…

That nude lipstick is NOT working for you, honey. Oh god. It looks like butthole.

Aww, this brings back memories from sophomore year of high school, when I played a parent in my school's version of the musical. We all got on stage in bathrobes and hair curlers to sing this xD

I went on two dates with a guy once who, on the second date, told me that if we were a couple and I talked to my ex he'd "bash his head in." He then expressed serious issues with me having hung out with a male friend the night before, who I've known for 12 years, even though we were only on the eve of our SECOND date.

Fuck. I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing this. So many deaths come from lack of adequate health care and adequate safety measures. Little things that could save people's lives.

It's not cheating if everyone is consenting to the situation and happy about it. Your experience and worldview does not equal reality for everyone else. Cheating and deception are absolutely reprehensible... they are also in no way part of my relationships or dating experience as a polyamorous person. I practice…

No. When your partner is sick or loses their job or has a death, you rally around them and support them... often with the added support of your other partner(s). You have a network of support and love to pull from. When my boyfriend aggravates me or we aren't meshing, we talk that shit out and figure out what's going…

This was really beautiful :)

The most personal growth I've done in my life has been over the past two years as an openly poly person. I dig into myself HARD to communicate effectively with my partners regarding my wants and needs. When I spend time alone, I don't focus on my partners — I focus on myself and learning about me and what it takes to…
