I haven't seen any online from Shame, but here are some from Hunger: NSFW NSFW Actually, I found this from Shame: NSFW
After we had our second child, I went and got snipped. My wife was having a bad time with BC and I felt it was the right thing to do. It was just weird having to bring a "sample" every few months for the first year to be sure it took.
After a couple of board members asking/commenting about the depo shot bitch side effects, I felt it should be said: Hormones are brutal to a girl, especially when they are being fucked with. I am in no way attempting to say that birth control is bad. For some women it is the only way to regulate their body. I feel like I can't think clearly when on the pill. I was beyond cruel to a good, good man who loved me when on the depo shot and I made rash, fantastically bad choices. I can't blame that all on the medication, but it played a strong factor in the way I perceived things. So, if your girl seems unstable, emotional, angry, et cetera on a regular basis and you aren't beating her, consider the birth control. Do some research before you make a suggestion, verify what you are seeing. Some women feel defensive when you get involved in their OB dealings, so tread carefully. Unfortunately, hormones and nitroglycerine are similarly reactive.
I figured this would be a good place to ask this. How can I tell my buddy's girlfriend to stay at home when I ask him to go grab beers or hang out? Ive mentioned it to him, but he either ignores it or forgets because honestly hes whipped, so I figured Id ask her. I dont dislike the girl at all as shes actually very nice and perfect for him, and Im happy for them as a couple. But every time I ask him to go to happy hour or go out for some beer and wings, he brings her along every god damn time like clockwork. Is there a delicate way to do this? I definitely dont want to offend her at all in the process.
Talk about diarrhea the next few times y'all hang out. There's no real way to ask her to stay home without coming off like a huge dick, so just make it an unhospitable place for her to hang out. Don't be overtly mean, but if you had a really interesting poop recently...talk about it. If you feel like farting...do it. If you want to talk about COD or Skyrim or <insert gamer activity> for hours and she knows nothing about those topics...do it. Your best bet is to make her want to stay home. Alternatively, you could get a girlfriend and then they could go hang out while you and your boy hang out. Also, just in case you haven't thought about it this way: He wants her there. If he didn't, she wouldn't be tagging along. You're the only one who has a problem with it.
The thing is, she's got the same filthy sense of humor he does, grossing her out probably wouldn't work. And I'm not saying he doesn't want her there, but would you want your friend's guy tagging along every time you go out with your girlfriends? I don't mind if she comes once in a while, but he will literally bring her to poker night while we play and she just sits and silently sulks about being bored. And I've tried bringing my girl, they don't get along.
Talking about past girls your friend has banged would probably be offensive enough, but that's a bit overly mean.
I just messaged it, but I will post it here. I was like this on occasion with one of my best guyfriends. It started when we would bring her to parties because she wanted to hang out with the other girls. Then as a wing woman at bars every now and then, and then I realized that she was coming with us everywhere. I was able to say," hey, you can hang out with us when we are home, but when Chris and I go out, it is just going to be us." She was fine. If he is unable to realize the situation and to say to her:"it is just guys" then you need to tell him. Tell him how much you like her, but you want to go out just you two. Go out just you two a couple of times, and then the third time, tell him to bring her along. Make it clear you aren't cutting her out. Also, is she a good retard herder? If she is, make sure you keep her around on occasion. That is always the best part of having my wife around when drinking with my friends. If we get too drunk, she is the one who is able to keep a level enough head to make sure we don't end up in jail.
Hello, TiBettes. I'm Pink Candy, and I have a (humiliating) problem. And humiliating because I lack any sort of feminine gene. My mother graciously offered her credit card three weeks ago to buy me a new bedroom set for my upcoming birthday. Yes. Three weeks. I have not been able to go forward because...wait for it... I cannot coordinate colors in rooms. I lack a decorating gene. My walls are painted a subtle green (Soft Fern by Benjamin Moore if you're interested in seeing it) and my furniture is a dark brown, almost black color. Now I'm having a freakin' anxiety attack because I cannot figure out what color sheets/bedspread to get. Can you believe this shit? I'm embarrassed. Help. Green walls, dark furniture...WHAT COLOR TO USE?!
If you google that color, color palates will pop up with it. That will give you a decent starting point. You can go a darker shade of green, or something in the brown/creamy color. Or you could make it look crisp and go stark white (although be careful with whatever you buy that is white, that can cause problems with cleaning down the road). Personally, I like a crisp, slightly modern look for bedding and other home furnishings (look at Westelm.com for kind of what I mean). I don't like floral bedspreads. Some of the more masculine spreads with "medallions" or whatever they are branding it as are ok. I have actually been looking for bedding myself (finding attractive, affordable bedding in Cal King size is harder than you might think) and there is a lot of stuff out there in the style Damascus Stripe. You can do any color, but it is kind of a neutral, not too feminine/not too masculine style. I'm also fond of having a more plain base (solid colored couch, solid colored bedspread) and then getting some coordinating pillows or throws to make it look more interesting. That's all just personal preference, but it also means that you aren't stuck with a terribly stylized piece of expensive furniture or bedding that you'll hate in a year.
I have pretty much the same color scheme in my bedroom, you could do white and then pick up an accent color which can be changed as you desire. Maybe something similar to this Edit: Shoot - I can't figure out how to get a pic from houzz to post so here is the link <a class="postlink" href="http://www.houzz.com/photos/107915/Master-Bedroom-traditional-bedroom-dallas" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.houzz.com/photos/107915/Mast ... oom-dallas</a>
You're two thirds of the way to an earth tones color scheme, so you might as well complete it with blue. I would go with a darker and/or richer blue to balance out the very light wall color and the very dark furniture color. Something like this:
One more (different) opinion: you can never go wrong with cream. Think of a French Vanilla colour. It will go with ANY colour you decide to paint the walls with, it will contrast nicely with the dark furniture, and it leaves you open to punchy accents. Try deep red throw pillows in winter, then change them up with washed out greens and blues for a beachy pallet in the summertime. Cream = safest choice. EDIT: So almost exactly what Mya said. I find pure white is less forgiving with stains and pet hair, though.
I love cream paint as well, I tend to gravitate towards deep red furniture and it keeps the room from getting overwhelmed. Rich greens do nicely as well.
Another vote for cream/ivory colors. I like lots of light so I painted my walls various shades of this. I'd avoid pure white like the plague though since it's hard to keep clean and is too stark and antiseptic in my opinion. Also like the others said, bold colors go well with them. Also Pink Candy, what's your floor look like? If it's carpet what kind/color is it?
For bedding, I'd add a pattern--stripes, paisley--that has the green of your walls along with a deep red/burgundy, gold (not yellow--gold) and cream/ecru/off-white. If you can find a bedspread or comforter with a pattern, go with solid sheets in one of the colors other than the green, or reverse it (patterned sheets, solid comforter). Martha Stewart is my bitch.
I'm curious about something that strikes me as odd and I'm hoping you fine Tibettes might be able to shine some insight on this: On OkCupid a lot of the women who come up as matches for me self-identify as bi, and every match indicates that they're pro gay-marriage and seem to be pro LGBT rights. Yet almost all of them say they wouldn't date a bisexual guy or date a guy who's had a homosexual encounter/experience. Anyone have any ideas why this might be? To me this seems strange, and frankly, suspicious - I'm straight, pro gay-marriage & LGBT rights, and I wouldn't have any reservations dating a bi woman.
Idea: There is a prevalent perception amongst certain circles of "queer lite" women that bi guys are at a higher risk from STD's/more likely to catch one than heterosexually-identifying dudes. Alternative idea: Patriarchy. A dude fucking a dude is still sorta-bad within our system. My own explanation: My OKCupid profile said the same thing. I've dated several bi dudes, and even one closeted gay dude. But I don't want to anymore. Nothing personal. I've moved into a stage in my life where I only want enjoy the romantic company of people who primarily like women.
I actually think that bisexuality - or at least bisexual tendencies - amongst men is FAR higher than most people realize. The difference for women is that it's seen as hot when they go at it. Men have a stigma to overcome, so they keep that kind of thing very quiet. And it's a total double standard. Unless you're like Pinkcup and can honestly say, "Been there, done that," I can't see dismissing someone out of hand for their sexual preferences (a la gender) without there being a healthy dose of hypocrisy involved.
