Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It might be icky, it might make you defensive as a parent, but supporting castration? Seriously?
That's medieval, for real. Jesus.
We're still getting all kinds of junk mail for the last two people who lived here. I'm not sure how my delivery person would feel about a sign, either, though.
My mail carrier already has a grudge against me. I'm pretty sure I would either get extra junk or just stop getting mail at all.
What's wrong with people?
And everyone's calling the boyfriend sick and not the father.
I'm beginning to feel like the odd one out for not thinking the boyfriend is definitely sick. I don't know, I haven't met the 17 year old. It could be really disturbing, but maybe it isn't. And it could still be disturbing if she were 23. It depends on the 23.
I have to say that no matter how much you dislike somebody - when is castration ever the answer?
ION, I love this book cover:
She lusted in sin orgies and reefer brawls.
Cool! I mean, if you're gonna have an orgy, you might as well make it a sin orgy.
But who has the energy to brawl after "doing reefer"?
I can't say I'd be thrilled at the idea of my child dating someone 10 years my senior, but the comments on that article were just creepy.
I can understand why the father was upset about it, but yeah, castration is just never the answer.
That seems like the kind of case where the father acted because of how he thought the situation reflected on him. I'd probably be looking for an older father-figure type fella too if my actual father was that violent.
I had a dream I was being raped last night, so that was fun?
I woke up and both the cats were sleeping on me, so that probably set off my 'being held down' alarms.
I dunno what to say about the castration story.
Jars, are you ok? I hate those kinds of dreams.
What zuisa said. As a general rule, 57 is way too old for 17. But castrating 57 when the relationship is consensual makes you the bad guy, pretty much by definition.
Marie had her ultrasound yesterday. Results were normal -- some signs of aging, but nothing unusual for a 12-year-old cat. She's on Pepcid and an anti-nausea med. And her appetite (as well as her ability to keep food down) seems to be improving.
