Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

But the first time a man I was with proclaimed his shavenitude as a 'gift' to womenme, I was really put off. It seemed so self-conscious, in an arrogant way and didn't even feel good. I much prefer the 'whatever makes you happy' approach.

The Boy once asked me if I cared if *he* shaved his bits, and I said, "Not at all, as long as you don't care if I *don't* shave *mine.*" Peace reigns in the house.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I love the gender dynamics in Steph's relationship.

Matt, Beverly, I'm so sorry for your losses.

To those who remember my quest to find my father's military records, msbelle and CaBil wonderfully offered their help. CaBil traipsed over to the National Archives and found an entry that seemed very close to Daddy, except he was in the next county over and his occupation was listed as Author, Editor, or Reporter.

An update for my own delight: I sent an email telling of my quest to my sisters, and yesterday my oldest sister told me she had Daddy's dog tags, and the service number on those tags matches the one on the record that CaBil found. Yay! So I'm sending off the form to get a copy of his records.

Thank you, CaBil, for finding the record of my father's records, and thanks to my sister for holding true to the family tradition of smuggling the good bits out for safekeeping.

Compassionately intolerant

Dude, that sounds so Billy. And you know, he's doing it for himself. Which, I totally get.

Exactly!

Yeah, Tep and the Boy have it right.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My take on personal grooming is that I brush my hair and shave underneath my jaw line for the sake of appearances; anything else is done solely for my own comfort.

Squirrel foot earrings - I'd be tempted to get those for my mother, only I think it'd be a waste of money and she wouldn't get it.

“Not dead yet!”

I love the gender dynamics in Steph's relationship.

Word.

And here I was about to post about the crazed squirrels I apparently work with and their inability to understand the meaning of the word final.

Condolences to Bev & Matt.

I love the gender dynamics in Steph's relationship.

Word.

They're strictly appearance-based (i.e., he wears heels and I generally don't; he comes home from work and puts on a dress and I come home from work and put on yoga pants).

When it comes to gender dynamics in action, I make him kill large bugs and open jars.
