Your Dog Sucks.
My dog is very well behaved at a dog park but otherwise when I'm walking him he barks at people if they act apprehensive or shifty and I just hate it. Naturally my sister is a total indignant bitch about it and refuses to see he needs training. He's extremely stubborn too and again sometimes confrontational if on a loose lead and strangers approach.

SL Letter of the Day: Goodie Bag.
Thanks 37, that's what I think too. There are some parents, that for whatever poorly thought out reason, think it's necessary to kick their kids out of the house at 18. My parents are from former Yugoslavia and want us to stay with them as long as possible as long as we're progressing in school and work we're fine. I'd hate to be paying hundreds of dollars in rent every month and have parents that live only a few miles away. I could see moving out early being beneficial to a gay kid with jesus-freak parents or a bad family situation, etc, just needing to be in the real world.

SL Letter of the Day: Goodie Bag.
Was she scandalized by the pot or the porn or both? Oh and why does the LW have porn D-V-D'S? I appreciate she buys them but why not just use a porn tube on the internet there's plenty of big black cock action on there without leaving physical evidence.
I do agree with 1 though, pot is a legitimate deal breaker especially considering it's still illegal, sorta in most states. The mother has every right to be worried about that part and the LW is lucky she hasn't been kicked out of the house.
I think the mom is gonna get over it eventually. If it is a problem 21 or even 25 is not that old to still live with parents especially in this economy and certain cultures.

I, Anonymous.
Here's a tip,there are 3 other members of my family who walk our dog around the neighborhood and trails; do not say "hey fido, hey fido" because you've seen him before with my sister and met him, etc. Acknowledge me first and ask to interact with him again rather than treating my like some automated dog walking machine to be ignored.
Also don't reach down and pet my dog as we are walking past you on a narrow trail, he can be nervous at times and could snap at you as he suddenly sees a stranger make a lunge towards his head. Common sense.
Dog parks are a haven for your pet, they can be socialized and learn to interact with dogs and even to ignore them and listen to you.

This Morning's NYT Book Review.
Thanks for the review Dan, I liked it. A little tame though as people have said, but I understand, it's not slog.
I feel so bad for this people that are christian and gay, how much is acceptance from the church versus just having a supportive family. Maybe if they had supportive non-christian families they would be less inclined to worry about what the church said.

Light Slogging From Me Today.
The black haired one in the grey cap is cute, the rest of the Putin clones not so much. Knowing it's Russia or Ukraine makes it kind of a downer too since gays are far more vilified over their than in America.
