My situation? Family of four (two kidlings under 5) and a spousy type person. People keep telling me I need to "save up" for a down payment on a house, but I'm like, WITH WHAT MONEY? Food prices are going up like crazy (and by "food," I mean actual, real food that isn't made of sodium and is premade in a box with the outside picture looking waaaay better than the product inside), and if we didn't own our car outright and my work didn't pay for most of my family's insurance needs, we'd be screwed.<br /><br />I reeeeeally don't like being in debt, either, so I'm the kind of person who refuses to buy "extras" unless I absolutely need them or have the funds saved up (or the option for a zero percent payment plan that I can reasonably pay before the big interest kicks in). Luckily my spouse and I work opposite schedules, so we don't have to pay for child care, but Oldest Daughter is going to preschool and that costs about 200 bucks a month plus fundraising.<br /><br />Being alive is expensive. I take solace in the fact that once I die, I won't have to worry about money ever again.Oni no Tenshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15152151716057715589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-70371222658912999772013-03-05T22:05:09.787-05:002013-03-05T22:05:09.787-05:00+1 on Scarleteen.

And if so, could we have a vaccine, please? The word "she male" is used and we never even learn whether the person is trans or cross-dressing -- what difference does it make for a comic prop, right? And even sadder, only one other reviewer criticized the book for that, or even mentioned it.

Orgasm for me is something that is part of <i>making love</i> - and it's the intimacy and love that make the experience special, not just the physical side of it. It's the who, not the what, and the idea of using my beloved as a sex toy is really off-putting. I dont' masturbate (it doesnt' do anything for me), but if I did, and wanted orgasmic release and nothing else, that's how I'd achieve it.<br /><br />- The Kittehs' Unpaid HelpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-29655017371270013312013-02-17T18:23:00.972-05:002013-02-17T18:23:00.972-05:00"More of a fungus than an animal, really.&quo..."More of a fungus than an animal, really."<br /><br />I finished my coffee <i>just</i> in time not to snort it all over my desk, then. <br /><br />- The Kittehs' Unpaid HelpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-38762868427272123752013-02-17T18:20:46.495-05:002013-02-17T18:20:46.495-05:00If I had a list of "not at all sexy food"...If I had a list of "not at all sexy food" pizza would definitely be on it.

Only it turns out that Dennis came out as a transwoman some time ago and is now called Denise! And... to my big surprise (not the least considering how old this series is) it's not handled half as bad as I expected. Denise is styled in a normal way, with like normal women's clothing and normal makeup, rather than being completely over-the-top. She's a competent policewoman and a good friend to Cooper. Plus at one point she makes a comment about some hot girl, Cooper goes "I thought you didn't like girls any longer?" and Denise is like "uh, yeas I do". <br /><br />I think we're still supposed to think it's a bit "tihi, a trans woman!" but still... apparently WAY better than this Cosmo story, and this TV show was made in 1990.Jeppssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016901164247140438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-87601853536296121092013-02-16T15:22:45.277-05:002013-02-16T15:22:45.277-05:00I used to have to transcribe council meetings for ...I used to have to transcribe council meetings for my job - ahhhhhh, what an amazing afternoon of typing that would have been!chinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-87442968957517979422013-02-16T14:39:23.651-05:002013-02-16T14:39:23.651-05:00Of all the things that people do in libraries, &qu...Of all the things that people do in libraries, "getting a little rest" is so far down the list of potential problems that a lot of staff wouldn't even notice.<br /><br />Some people just like to think they're both the lawmakers and enforcers for the Court of Normal.
