What is this spot, exactly, that you can burn to death and drown in the same place?
The Cuyahoga River?
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Well, not EXACT spot. But guy burned to death on the pier and drowned person found in water next to pier. (Actually on listening to the news report, drowned person found a couple of blocks away. On the other side of my office, actually.)

Grrrr... the stupidity of others kills me... Abstinence Only Sex Ed doesn't decrease STDs in fact, it seems to increase them!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I came across an interesting opinion about this issue (slightly tangentially). It argued that even were there to be a rise in abstinence, it could increase the spread of STDs. The idea is that individuals cautious enough to be swayed by such campaigns are less likely to have an STD themselves, and by taking themselves out of the pool of possible sex partners, they make it more likely that the individual one hooks up with is relatively incautious and a greater risk.
Struck me as a thought experiment in need of some empirical data, but interesting nonetheless.

I had read that too, billytea, at some point. Dunno if I buy that part of it, but certainly provocative.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not sure what organic wire wrapping means, but, regardless, I think they're pretty and almost delicate. I say go for it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I wonder if they're using organic to describe the style in which the wire is wrapped, as opposed to a more precice/rigid/linear style. Beautiful lighting and photography there.

Quick poll:
- Does the term "underwear" include the bra?
- Does "undergarment"?
For me, the answers are yes and yes, but I'm thinking that in the US at least the answer to the first is "no." Based on a snippet of a Style TV special I saw today, the answer to the second is "yes."
Which doesn't make all the sense in the world to me.
