I'm sorry, Suzi.

And JFC, ita.

...

Things that will completely rear end my mood: stupid humans getting between me and my swim, traffic jams, coughing and having my plans completely fucked up.

Things that happened today, see above. I'm sick of my foul moods and I cannot seem to get away from them. I'm toxic in this state.

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

Egad, ita, she has a colleague saying that? What an asshole. That's both slander and sexual harrassment, at least here. No idea about sexual harrassment laws elsewhere.

Yeah, I winnowed Dr. Google to helpful hints.

That really sucks, ita. Both slander and libel are classed as defamation and are illegal in most Western countries, including Jamaica. It's a lot easier to bring a defamation suit in the UK than here. The problem with slander is that it's harder to prove than libel. Can she get someone higher up to talk with the evil colleague?

Also want to watch the vajazzling video, but I am quite disappointed to find out there's no labia involved.

Speaking of, when did shaving one's cooch bare become so popular that it no longer pings as kink?

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

It's false advertising, it is.

The comments on the article where I found the all very "leave enough so you remember they're legal" in nature, wjofj...

I'm encouraging Savannah (sis, nym) to work her way up the org chart, because this should be actionable, hopefully without hitting p the purse strings.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Not sure when exactly, but I've been seeing guys comment on articles about cooch-shaving to the effect of "I would never consider dating a woman with pubic hair; it's just basic hygiene, and if she can't be bothered to do even that much she's obviously lazy and gross" for at least the last five years. Prior to that, there were always some people who'd admit it was their preference, but it's definitely just been in the last several years that people (at least the people who bother to post on the Internet) have been equating it to regular tooth-brushing.

I am so, so glad not to be single and attempting to date. I would probably stab everyone a lot.

Our wings are not tired.

SIL's salon does waxing and she does quite a few. Like me, she rarely even shaves her legs. I don't even consider a bikini wax. If anyone sees a bit of hair on my bathing suit line they are staring too close. Back off.

Hey, whatever works for you, but I don't feel a need to clean shave anything other than my pits.


Amy - Jun 14, 2014 4:57:02 pm PDT #29901 of 30000
Because books.

it's just basic hygiene

The hair is there for a reason, morons! Jesus.

ita, that's crazy about your sister. WTF colleague?

Suzi, I'm so sorry you're going through this. I hope the Lyrica kicks in really well next week, or that there's something else the doctors can do.

My suspicion is that it's a result of how many people are basically introduced to sex through porn, because it was big in porn long before it took off (us, so to speak). In which case, not actually a big deal, just a lack of experience (uh, sorry, keep hitting the double entendres) with pubic hair IRL.

I think if I weren't the mom of a preteen it might not hit my "hell the FUCK no!" button so hard, but as it is it looks to me like wanting to pretend to yourself that your lover is premenstrual.
