Am I the only one who finds "cougar" to be a real turn off as a term?
No. Though I'm resigned to it.
Edit: Its existence, not any application to me. Which there isn't. I can't speak for Jesse.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I thought it referred to the tendency of those women to dress in leopard print.
(Hil, I ancestry.commed him, too. You are not alone.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I got to be in Entertainment Weekly without being a sock and committing pseudicide.
This means I am BETTER THAN YOU, FASTEDDIEGUS.

Woot! Two 22-inch monitors are coming to my desk! More room for movies on Sundays when things are slow!
Oh, and Windows 7, which shouldn't be too bad, but I will miss XP.

Connie, Win 7 is awesome. I think you'll like the switch.

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

I think my biggest age gaps have been 12 years, in either direction. I could be a textbook cougar again. I got nothing against it. The word doesn't bother me--I understand that the strict application of the term is supposed to apply to hunters. But I'm more of a gatherer.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So what's the formula for determining at some point if you + person = cougar hunting?
13 years difference, I opine (entirely ex cloaca).

I just tried to explain the whole Gus thing to my DH. It's hard to get all the backstory included in any kind of coherent fashion. At least, I failed at it.
My therapist referred to Older Woman Syndrome during a recent session. My husband is three years younger than me. I like Cougar better than Older Woman Syndrome if there's a choice.
