I'd take a look at them but I guess NOW I CAN'T

Here is an interesting-to-me fact about guide dogs. Male guide dogs are trained not to lift their legs to pee, they lean forward like female dogs. So if the dog's back is flat, no clean up is needed, if it's rounded the handler knows some clean up is required.

It's one of my goals to achieve before I turn 60. Bonus is hopefully both my daughters will be living on their own by then so I can just take myself out to eat two or three times a week.

I wasn't paying attention to your user name and thought at first you meant Baby Number Thirteen.

Yeah, I'm a little embarrassed that part of me was initially intrigued by potential drama, but now it's just sad.

I still can't get past the fact that he takes his daughter out to eat two or three times a week.

I've seen some ships that are a pretty fair stretch but this one is pretty ludicrous.

Also, you need to step up on getting some chairs for your back porch because I'm not smoking on a front porch that faces a brutal, treeless street.

Were those elms on your street? I know that a number of neighborhoods in Ohio City had all the elms removed.

I don't think we have badgers in Ohio? Maybe groundhogs?

Yeah, I've known a few people with huge mirrors next to the toilet. It's both distressing and somewhat fascinating.

Taking my teen daughter to see Carrie The Musical at a local theater. She's seen it once before at a different theatre, Carrie and Heathers are her favorite musicals right now (she's seen 3 different performances of Heather the Musical, and we are planning on a fourth in August) so I'm pretty pleased with how she's…

Exactly! It frustrates me that parents are sometimes given this supposedly simple set of exercises to ensure their child will become X. My husband and I read to both our daughters almost every night, have tons of books available in the house, I read all the time, and neither of our daughters have a great love of…

To be honest, it's really just this one mom I know and she irritates me in general.

Also—with regards to encouraging their child's adventurous palate. I grew up with my mom cooking the same 8 meals in rotation. Basic white people 1960's meals like spaghetti, meatloaf and tuna noodle casserole. When we ate out it was either Ponderosa or McDonald's. As an adult I love trying new foods and hoped to pass…

For quite a while I thought this was some vegan butter substitute. I have no idea why. When I found out it was Extra Virgin Olive Oil I was really annoyed (although it doesn't really take a lot to annoy me).

I don't really mind that people give their kids sushi, but I know people who want to brag about it and that's what really irritates me. Especially because it's usually white people bragging about how awesome their kids are for eating , you know, exotic foreign foods.

Why do people want to brag about the expensive things their kids will eat. "oh, my child LOVES sushi! He'd eat it every day!" For Christ's sake, I like sushi, but that shit costs a lot of money even for one. I can't imagine taking my kids out for a sushi meal.

Ha, right? Even someplace cheap seems to be expensive when the check finally comes. Hell, even Chipotle gets expensive.

But do they make enough of a sound that it becomes the whole point of the kink? I mean, there are people who need to wear adult diapers. I would think they would want to be discreet about it, and a crinkly noise would sort of give things away.
