    I guess my new confession is that I don't understand open relationships in the slightest. I don't judge people for doing it, but I just don't get it. All I can think of is disease statistics and the prevelance of mouth herpes when I think about that stuff.

    ETA: It's probably due to my distrust of strangers and introversion, now that I think of it.

    Yeah, it's totally worse than someone being single and sleeping around, which is totally acceptable.

    As long as both parties are on board, it is no else's business how they handle their relationship.

    *****quote****

    Lol, that's some creative reading there GM. I never said that and you know it.

    Your concern is about diseases spreading. Same thing happens to single people. A couple is actually more likely to ask about those things and take proper precautions.

    So yes, I was responding to what you actually wrote- that they would spread diseases by having an open relationship. That is comparable to someone being single and having multiple partners and spreading shit around.

    Www

    Yes, I agree, singular sleeping around also spreads disease. I think it's just funny that you are trying to make it look like I am some kind of cheerleader for cheating. That's like hearing someone talk about eating a hotdog, and accusing them of beating thier dog.

    I don't get sexually aroused at the idea of swinging. While you are on your soapbox of tolerance, might there be room for my sexuality too?

    ETA) grammar


    What the fuck are you babbling about? Are you day drunk?



    *****quote*****

    Lol I wish. It would make these wild leaps of your logic make more sense.

    Me not wanting to swing =/= advocate of cheating.


    ETA: aaarg quotes!

    What the actual fuck are you babbling about?

    Pele: I don't get cheating because there are diseases.
    WCIBN: It's not any worse than single people whoring around spreading them
    Pele: That's not even comparable! I wasn't talking about diseases.
    WCIBN: Uh, yes, that is exactly what you are talking about and yes it is comparable.
    Pele: Some rambling incoherent mess about cheerleading, sexuality and hotdogs.
    WCIBN: Que?

    Seriously. Put the bottle down or share.



    Eh, I agree it's a stupid thing to argue about, that's entirely my point. If you had said 'it's not any better', I would have agreed with you. It's not. Instead you insinuated that I thought cheating was aces because I didn't like swinging, which I disagreed with.

    That doesn't make your freak out that I was "attacking" your sexuality by pointing out that single people whowing around spreads diseases more than a couple with an open relationship make any kind of sense.

    What tone?

    I'm sure you don't bat an eye to someone that has sex before marriage that may be exposing themselves to the horrific diseases you mentioned. But married people doing that is the debil because it's not your preference? Holy double standards. And that makes you the only one judging someone else's sexuality.



    Are you ok? Not being sarcastic here, genuinely concerned. Usually you don't get so upset in a discussion. Especially about things that haven't even been said.

  • I guess my confession is that I don't know who gives me love tits, how to check who does, or how many I have. Neither do I care.

    I will however, try to start love titing more (I have given like 10 I think) since everyone else seems to care.

    I have a ton of Christmas music on my ipad from a Christmas party I hosted a couple of years ago. C often goes into my music when she gets bored with her apps and plays a bunch of it. Secretly, I really enjoy it even though it is soooo out of season. It gives me a warm and comforting feeling and I'm always a little sad when she clicks back out of it again.

    So much this.


    Also, I'm having a beer with my lunch.  It's Friday, damnit.

    My confession is that Wednesday was a day for the books because it was the first time I ever received a love-tit from @WhoCanItBeNow‌.

    What? You've been keeping track of who acknowledges every single one of your comments for this long?

    .....I check my love its several times a day.

    ::ashamed::


    I go back and check comments that I post that I think are funny for validation that I'm not falling on my face, but to know (after several months of posting) the first time someone loves one of your comments?

    I don't know how many comments she has, but I am guessing around or more than 1k. That's a lot of attention!

  • I refuse to show my receipt when I leave a store.  It's not something that I am required to do unless I have signed a contract with the store and I find it insulting.  I'm not rude about it, I just tell them "No thanks".

    I'm confused by this. Stores (besides Costco) make you show a receipt? Like, even if you have bagged stuff? This has never happened to me...

    Yep, stores like Wal-Mart or Target will stop random people to ask to see their receipt.  Every time they have done it to me I have everything I bought in a bag. 



    I've only been stopped in a Target if I bought something that wasn't in a bag... If it's all in bags, I've never been stopped anywhere.

    Places like Costco, Sam's, and Ikea I always wait my turn and show the receipt. It doesn't hurt me to show them so why try and fight it...?

    I need to go shopping for more summery clothes this weekend. I fully intend on getting drunk before I go. I love drunk shopping at Macy's and H&M. I started the tradition about a year ago, and it makes clothes shopping sooooo much better!

    If I got drunk to go shopping, then I'd curl up in a changing room for a nap.  For me, drinking makes things fun for about two hours and then I can't. stay. awake.  Alcohol is like liquid narcolepsy sometimes.


    I also decided I needed new summer clothes (and shoes!) yesterday so I started at Green Street, which a consignment shop by my university.  The undergrads here consign designer stuff - yes, please.  My next stop is H&M :-)


    ------------------
    @Joy2611‌ and @RinnyBee‌ I suggest two strong pours of wine or two cocktails. You also have to move pretty fast to get some good work done before the lazy/sleepy phase kicks in. I also suggest not overdoing it because it can be awkward to be drunk in a place like Macy's where everyone else is sober :) But, if you dislike shopping, it makes it way better and more productive for me.

  • I slept without a sleep bra for the first time last night since DD was born. She is two. It felt great in bed, but now that I'm up making breakfast and stuff, I feel very jiggly.
    I wear at least a sports bra or bralette at all times that I'm not in the shower (and, let's face it, underwire 'real bras' are only for special occasions). I rarely take them off when I'm having sex. My boobs aren't totally ginormous, but I've slept in a sports bra since junior high. I'm not comfortable braless unless something has built in major support (not like those built in shelf tanks, those are the worst).

    Perennial confession from me: It's getting hard for me to deal with H's poor body image. Again. If he wants to go low carb I'm down (I won't, but I will be supportive). If he needs a metronome to help him run, then that's cool. But he needs to do a little research about what low carb is and what he needs to do. If he's going to Atkins it, it's pretty strict. And he needs to go to the gym and just do it.

    There are some from hanky panky that I'd really like. It's basically slightly prettier than a sports bra and has a bit less support, which is fine for sleeping purposes.

    H and I do 'no-carb' dinners every other night (obviously not no-carb - but no pasta, rice, bread etc) since we eat a lot of it. We use a lot of squash/zuccini as a noodle substitute, grated cauliflower as a rice substitute, etc. Its not too bad. If he needs to ease into it and wants some recipes feel free to ask. It was tough coming up with stuff at first (because I love me some carbs)

    I've done this twice and I have a love/hate relationship with it. (For reference, @Joy2611, the last time H and I did it together and I had 2 glasses of wine and a beer beforehand. So not crazy, just a nice tipsy). Love doing it-it's a blast-but my judgement sucks and I end up spending stupid money. We spent way too much at BabyGap for DS and he didn't even need anything. And I never buy shit at WestElm because they're overpriced but I did that day.

    Thanks for the offer, and I will if this sticks.

    It's mainly irritating because H, and I love him, but he wants a magic bullet. I used to occasionally worry about him with things like 'get rich quick' schemes. He keeps searching for the 'one thing' he can do that's going to magically make it easier for him to get to a better weight (he's not bad off now, but he wants to be fitter) and stay there and have muscle definition. Like, 'oh, if I just don't eat any carbs at all or only x grams of carbs a day for 2 weeks I'll lose 35 lbs.' No. It doesn't work like that. I've had to quit saying 'it doesn't work like that' because he just gets pissy with me, so I just think it really loudly. I'm overweight because I like food a lot and I like exercise a whole lot less. So I try to eat better and move more. But it's a process. And the thing about magic bullets is if you eat a bunch of kale a day for 2 weeks you'll feel different, but it's not sustainable.

    **Note, he can be like this about a lot of things that take time not just weight, he wants to go from zero to 60 (or not knowing how to put a nail in straight to refinishing a table set) in 2 seconds,  and he sometimes gets frustrated when I try to slow things down (or not spend a crapton of money on hobbies).

    I love zucchini 'pasta', btw. I found a recipe that used it last summer and it's one of my favorites.

    All week DH has been telling me about a friend's child's birthday party we're supposed to go to on Saturday and I kept forgetting. He told me like three times and each time I'm like "What? Really? Oh yeah..." This isn't really like me, and only today, in the middle of thinking about what to get for a gift I remembered: I have a dentist's appointment this Saturday that is smack dab in the middle of the party. 

    I did not PURPOSEFULLY not connect the two, and I wasn't actually dreading going to the party, but my confession is that I'm a bit relieved. I'd rather get my teeth cleaned and get a cavity filled followed by going home and lounging all day with my dog and DH than drive an hour and a half each way for a party.

    I gave up hard alcohol after college - it was un-fun drunk and even worse the next day.

    I drink and get SO. DAMN. CHATTY.  Even my husband is like "Dear God, shut up."  It's probably for the best that I burn out quickly.
    I get that way when I smoke pot. I'm sure I'm annoying as hell, but I think I'm hilarious. I would much rather get high than drunk.

  • I'm supposed to be watching what I eat, but as soon as DH leaves for his night job, I'm likely to dig out the unhealthiest food in the house and eat it.  Then DH rolls his eyes at me when we're shopping and I don't want to buy ice cream or chocolate because he doesn't understand that I sometimes binge.

    Also, I sometimes put my son to bed early just to get some extra downtime.  He's happy to play in his bed by himself, and some evenings I need that extra half hour to de-stress.
