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.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I dunno what to say about the castration story.
Jars, are you ok? I hate those kinds of dreams.

Ann, that's a ferret.
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.

Oh yeah, I'm grand. It wasn't even partcularly nightmarey, if you know what I mean. Just sort of 'oh, look at that, I'm being raped'.
ETA - Apparently the castration story is bollocks. Heh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Now I can't decide if I want to opt out of credit card offers or not. I have opted out of everything else, though. Please, fewer catalogs and other stuff.
But I might need another 0% APR credit card, and I have no idea where I'd find out about that.

Where did you read that?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, my cousin married the father of her high school best friend, shortly after high school, and they are still together, 20+ years later, so.
Cool! I mean, if you're gonna have an orgy, you might as well make it a sin orgy.
It's like "prostitution whore!" if you watch Real Housewives...
In shocking news, I just told someone I would have a piece of work to them by the end of next week, and she said that means Thursday because we're off next Friday. Because it's Christmas Eve. OMGWTF time flying!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But an orgy wouldn't necessarily have to be a sin orgy. It could be limited to married couples, and each person only has sex with the person they're married to. Plus the menfolk could keep their eyes to their wives only, so avoid the coveting and what-not....

That doesn't seem like much of an orgy!
