Think about who you care about in life on Valentines Day. It doesn't have to be a gesture but just think about who matters to you. As I found out it literally can be like they're there one day and gone the next.
Seriously can't stand polite small talk holy fuck. There's something within me that just finds it very uncomfortable. Its happening now and I just don't care to be a part of it
This is the first time in 9 years that I have been single on Valentines Day. The funny part is during those 9 years, not once did any of my boyfriends ever acknowledge Valentines Day. So I guess that either tells me I have shitty taste in men or that being single on it really doesn't make a difference anyway! On a brighter note, I am coughing up green goo out of my lungs, and I forgot to stop at the liquor store on the way home. I am seriously craving wine.
So, what do kids find that their dads are hiding now? Passwords? I remember finding the Sherilyn Fenn issue of Playboy in my dad's closet.
I first knew I was an adult when the centerfold was born after I was. My husband used to have a subscription. I read the articles...and looked at the pictures.
My first glimpse of porn was Playboy centerfolds nailed to the outhouse wall at the old vacation cabins near my house.
Every group of friends had at least one dad who had no shame about porn. My best friend's dad next door had Playboy and Penthouse magazines in a fan arrangement on the coffee table for guests. He also had actual videos. On Beta.
When I was twelve, my father subscribed to Playboy and conveniently left the magazines out where I could find them. When my stepson turned twelve I started to conveniently leave my Playboys out where he could find them. When my twins turned twelve I said "fuck them, they have had the internet their entire lives." I guess I have helped to end the era.
One of the worst things (to me, at least) about losing a parent is the sheer volume of people you have to deal with after they die. Both of my parents were very highly respected people, so there were a lot of folks who wanted to let me know just what a kind lady my mom was (when she died 20 years ago), and what a swell guy my dad was, now. It's been almost a month after my dad died, and every time I run into someone who knew him and recognizes me, I've got to listen to their spiel about how cool my dad was, and I feel obligated to listen. God forbid they start talking about Jesus; then I've got to find some way of cutting them off without offending them. I was pretty rude about it when my mom died, but I'm trying to be a little more polite now that I'm older. Do any of y'all think that Li'l Bandit wants to hear from any of my friends when I die? To those of you still alive, with kids: tell your friends to back off when you die. Your kids will be going through enough when that happens. They don't want to hear from people they barely knew. In other news, I finally found the key to my dad's safety deposit box yesterday (see my last post in the R&R thread for details), and my sister is going to be VERY disappointed when she finds out what's in it... Anyway, it's the Drunk Thread, isn't it? Spoiler Spoiler
Can one of the 2-4 other ladies here chime in with whether or not they think Jared Kushner's hot? While he's not really my ~type~ I think he's pretty handsome in that conservative yacht-club-if-they-let-Jews-in kind of way and that he and Ivanka are pretty well-matched, couple-wise. But I'm arguing about it with a straight man and he thinks he looks like a dork. (But he's the kind of guy who has a very narrow "Hollywood Chris Or Bust" definition of male attractiveness, so I don't really trust his judgment. But it's still making me doubt myself.)
Actually, I too would like an answer to the Jared Kushner question -- today my wife told me I looked like him but "less Jew-y" and I'm not sure whether that's a compliment or not.
Funny, every New Yorker I've talked to about him in any context has said they couldn't even tell he was Jewish. Guess it's more obvious in Texas.
He looks really fucking boring. Like, went to boarding school, played Polo, excels at Chess, and has sex missionary only with lights off. I will pass.
Everything I try to type comes out as the equivalent of any guy on this board talking about a woman wearing flats. He's fine. I agree with the dork analysis but going just by features, sure.
All of those things are true, which is why I'm not attracted to him. But I still think he's cute! I also am personally convinced he has a nice wang.
By nice wang, I think you mean nice bank account, trust fund, and investment portfolio? Because if so, I agree with you there.
You haven't heard about the kinky stuff billionaires are into have you? He's got better taste then that.
