Winter: Bobsled (if I could guarantee it wouldn't flip and break my bones). My second choice would be curling because it makes me laugh
Summer: Swimming - used to be a swimmer so that one is easy. Fun Fact - I had Jenny Thompson's 5th grade science book. Also, years later was on her old team .... she practiced a few lanes over from me one time when she was home on break.

Uncirc'd is way easier for hand jobs. Most of the long term peens in my life have been uncirc'd. Like a PP said, they're just like the regular mushroom tops, but they have hoods on. When you pull the hood down, they look the same

Ok reading comprehension fail. They're saying when he declared he was going to run for president ... which was Feb 2007, so yes, that's true, but it's still somewhat misleading since that was almost 2 years before he was elected.
.When Obama declared for president, the iPhone hadn’t been released. ”
Wow. I can't believe that!
That's probably because it's not true. The original iphone was announced in January 2007 and released in June 2007. Obama didn't become President until 2009 (delcared president in late 2008). While yes, the iphone was still new, it was out and by the time of the election the second gen iphone had been out for 4 months.
I really, really want to wear a sari. They're so gorgeous. I'm hoping I can during the diversity fair fashion show at work this year.
That particular item of clothing, I didn't know what it was called, but I did immediately recognize that it is Indian/Pakastani/Nepali-ish. It's usually sitting in the display windows next to the saris. They're lovely. If I saw a white woman wearing it I would probably assume she was of Indian descent. But, at the end of the day, if you're wearing it respectfully, go on with your bad self.
Not going to lie, I bug my coworker on a regular basis about when his daughter is getting married because it would be acceptable for me to wear a sari to the wedding and I want one so bad.

I just went to a bridal shower that was about 4 hours. The first two involved a decent amount of drinking and she plowed through a room full of gifts in an hour and then more drinking. I was fine with it because there was enough wine to keep me amused. Without the wine I may not have been quite as ok with it

I may stop by while drinking and glazing pottery. It's not like I didn't know when it was, but it was raining and raku is done outside so it got rescheduled and I was kind of stuck with the date. I'm pretty sure i'll be able to pop in though

Oh you should also definitely pat yourself on the back for biting your tongue. I've never done much escorting, have done enough abortion related volunteer work to have seen people who can't bit their tongues and try to argue with the crazies. It never goes well. You can't have a rational discussion/argument with crazy.

Rule number one of abortion work ... ignore the crazy and definitely don't poke it.
I've been videotaped before, they mainly use it as a tactic to scare and intimidate. I never found the video online. They can do it because you're out in public and they can see you from public property. Sucks I know, but I wouldn't worry to much about it. Just try to ignore them and help the families into the clinic

2 of the Jcrew pencil skirts in the neon pink and a blue one whose color name I can't find at the moment. I'm pissed though because mine were $34.99 AFTER the 30% discount, not before. If/when they discount them more I may need to grab more
And I also made a quick stop over to ON to grab some sale tanks and basic t's. I did get an adorable Navy jersey dress with white stripes that I'm in love with.
If the income situation is accurate, how can you not peel off a bit for some household help? Even once a week would alleviate some of his complaints, no?
Because even if we go to the bottom rung of construction type work, $10/hr puts him at $320/week and you at $3200/week, right? (I'm shitty at math so work with me here.) I need you to explain why this means you can't cut back to part time or you can't afford a little help.
or just get SSDI and use that money to pay for some help around the house
Trust me when I say I know this behavior is unacceptable, and I'm not trying to be that girl that makes excuses for their DH, but he's generally a loving and caring husband. He's been stressing a lot lately and he does have a problem with directing his anger at the appropriate targets, so I know this plays a role in his behavior. I do also genuinely feel bad for being unable to be an adult and pull my own weight at home. I struggle with this a lot.
I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet. I will be sitting down to talk to him tonight when I get home from work. It will probably start a fight and I guess I'm just going to have to be okay with that because this absolutely needs to be discussed and resolved. I won't live the rest of my life like this. I know this is neither normal nor healthy.
To the poster that suggesting bringing him along to my appointments, I've done that. He has been to every appointment since we got married. He sat beside me after my very intrusive surgery and listened to the doctor tell me I couldn't go back to work for 3-4 months, and even then to only do so part time. He listened to me argue with my doctor about it. He is in no way ignorant of the problems I'm dealing with or my doctor's recommendations.
My ex was a loving caring boyfriend except, you know, when he was beating the shit out of me.

For most things after commenting or liking etc you can go to your page and you'll see it listed there. From there you can tell it not to post in your feed. It sucks that you have to do it every.single.time, but it's at least an option

Last summer I managed to get a 1" slice of sea shell all the way in my foot. When looking at my foot you would have thought i just stepped on a tiny shard. I laughed when they did the xray at the ER because it seemed ridiculous to do until they told me the piece was an inch long

I think it depends on how into the book I'm in. If the book is only ok, I'm far more likely to get distracted. If a book is a page turner, then I can usually zone out tv, music, someone trying to have a conversation with me etc

I was at a conference in Chicago over the weekend and had some free time Sunday afternoon and heard there was a lit fest going on. Because it was last minute I didn't get to go to any of the events that needed free tickets, but there was a lot going on in the main area and open tents.
There were a lot of vendors selling books and I got to put my paws on a 400 year old book that was just sitting out there for sale. It was some type of Hebrew dictionary and I had no idea what any of it said, but it was gorgeous and in amazing shape considering the age. There were small publishers selling books and it was nice to see a lot of smaller publishers and individuals selling their books rather than it being overrun with big name books.
I got to hear some short stories read and listened in on a panel discussion by YA authors. While I'm not super into YA, the conversation at the point I popped in was about the lasting power of books (with a focus on YA) and also what the authors on the panel were reading when they were in the traditional YA age range. It was interesting to hear 3 of the 4 list horror authors and only one list a dystopian novel.
All in all it was fantastic and I was so excited to be able to stop by and check it out. The best part was that the vendor area was set up like an L down two streets. When I got to the end I ran into a yarn shop. I had been hoping to pop into one while I was in Chicago, but didn't think I was going to have time. It was an amazing hobby twofer.
