At least you don't have to pack.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
True.
Also not going to be able to afford a minivaca to NYC, more's the pity.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm just all UPdown UPdown, NOW this, now THAT...
Dude, the circumstances you've been in have been doing that, of course you are!
Making that house yours (plural you) seems like the right thing to do, and clearing out the crap that doesn't belong there is an excellent step towards that.

{{{Erin}}} That is a lot of emotional up and down. I hope getting rid of his ex's things helps a bit.

What if you make enough money from selling her stuff? Could you still have your vacation?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I like the way quester thinks.
"He's a pastor."
Cue hysterical laughing.
Me: "Yeah, considering I'm your favorite Atheist, it might not go over...?"
Sue: "...but he's a really big Giants fan!"
Minus the Giants fandom, I could swear I already read about this couple in an A.S. Byatt novel. It being A.S. Byatt, I'm pretty sure there was pain and death and huge emotions, but the pastor/atheist couple were pretty awesome. So, you know, there's some (fictional) precedent.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
In short what I don't think has every been tried is true decriminalization, where prostitutes have the same rights as any other worker, plus protection from exploitation unique to their field just as railroad workers have special worker protections from hazards unique to their field.
I don't think Victoria reaches that standard - not in theory, and certainly not in practice - but I thought I'd note that prostitution is legal and regulated here, and we have a brothel listed on the stock exchange.
(There are many brothels operating unlicenced too, and legal protection there is obviously going to be meagre.)
It has struck me many times that even though our group of friends back in Michigan were fairly "porny" people, with pretty open minds, the Buffistas have still opened us all up to new ideas, new possibilities, and new levels of porn.
So true. I was always a very strait-laced, nerdy kid, and as an adult pretty much too. I nonetheless astounded my younger brother (this is the one with multiple tats, who went through a period of dating multiple women in multiple cities, and who was constantily finding ways to get himself into a state of intoxication/trouble/the casualty ward) when he discovered that I knew of bukkake years before he'd ever heard of it.
