Yeah, ugh, I was cute at 16 but not... sexy. Then I hit my 2nd awkward phase in college. I only got myself together in my mid-20s. I’m pretty much hot as ever now and expect to stay that way for a while. Of course, I think we all know why creeps like their women super young... they’re usually too insecure and naive to…

He promised he’d come to my birthday bonfire and bring a six-pack. :(

Thanks so much. I really appreciate it. My dog is one of the most helpful beings when it comes to dealing with this.

I know someone who has spoken to him on the phone about a business matter, and “deeply concerned about others” and “emotionally fragile” sums up that experience well. I wish the best for him. I have those traits too, though not as extreme, and it can be great and awful.

I’m not knocking adults who want to engage in consensual incest, or men or women for watching porn of it. I’m just surprised you’re asking why so many female twins and siblings find it repellent. If you’d actually like to know:

Even the cardinal seems very weirded out by the kids and the “Choose Life” message.

There’s a van that occasionally parks near my house with a smug sticker, I think it’s that old nonsensical one “Aren’t you glad your mother was pro-life?” I wrote a polite but very firm and passionate note that I left on their windshield, mentioning that pro-choice doesn’t mean anti-motherhood and some personal…

I understood her statement about the skin color mattering because in our racist culture, with a long history of painting black men as rapists... pointing out that a black man raped you could reinforce dangerous stereotypes. (I’m white, so a person of color might be able to say this better.) I believe many black women…

Oh man. I think I will mail him a tampon. Can’t stand the dude, I have a sign against him in my yard too.

Your method sounds a lot like mine. Yeah, coupons for clothing and such occasionally “trick” me into spending money (which I know while I’m doing it) but generally I just clip coupons for things that might run out while the coupon is valid. I don’t use most of them. And if a sale item looks decent and I’ll eat it, I…

Preach! I’ve walked out of CVS with a bag full of free stuff before. (And a receipt, haha.)

That was part of the dogma behind the recent Oregon wildlife center occupation.

Seconded. My friend, bless her heart, came to the conclusion she was infertile because she had unprotected sex THREE TIMES around age 23 and didn’t get pregnant. I tried and tried to explain that meant nothing.

I was just thinking about my Paragard, which could cover all of my upcoming 30s and take me to age 41. I’m hoping that around then, they realize those things work an extra ~10 years, and then I’ll be done with my fertile years. Insertion was a bitch. I guess I can handle it again maybe one more time. It would be great…

I relate too. :(

Well said.

I should note that we have more PP clinics than 3; I was talking about clinics where abortions are performed. There are several PP health centers in town. I think it’s still pretty tough to get general reproductive care in rural areas here, though, if you must rely on low-cost/sliding scale/free clinics. :(

Oh my god. I’ve thought of volunteering but I live alone with my dog (who I often let play in the backyard while I take a shower or something), and there’s a very nice couple and their dog on the other side of the duplex. I would hate for any of them to be hurt or threatened. I should ask around here and see if anyone…

Yikes! I never heard of that happening at my school. I’d believe it in general, though. Horrible behavior goes unchecked.

I’m in Indiana and am trying to get the word out about Midwest Access Coalition. I think we only have 3 clinics here in Indy now, although I could have missed one. Maybe in the whole state? There were PP ones in Merrillville and Bloomington, but I’m not sure if they’re still there. Two friends have gotten them from PP…
