Thanks for the update, FAIL. I'm glad to hear the talk went well. I think you're taking positive steps here to make it more comfortable and safe for you both. Be sure to take the rest of Dan and everyone else's advice to heart. Have fun, but BE CAREFUL. :)

MissJess commented on Rule of Law Restored in Wisconsin.
"It's like they think they're a third and co-equal branch of government or something." Probably the best line ever written! I can't wait until I grow up and go take over the Supreme Court. Hopefully I'm still cool/not crazy by the time I get old. ;)

MissJess commented on So All Those "Nice Guys" Who Write Me at "Savage Love" Complaining About How Straight Women Only Go for Assholes and "Bad Boys"....
This study doesn't really work for me, because for me who I'm sexually attracted to is not necessarily who I want to be with.
Sure, sexual attraction is IMPORTANT. But a lot of jerks would rank high on my "how sexually attractive is this guy?" list while being at the bottom of my "will you date him?" list.
Girls may think bad guys are hotter, but I'd still much rather be with a sweet guy than a bad boy. Looks/attraction may be the most important triggers for guys, but for a lot of girls personality/other characteristics rank above looks.

MissJess commented on About Those Parents Who Aren't Disclosing Their New Child's Gender....
I have a friend that is unschooling her children. Before her oldest turned 2, she knew her ABCs, could count to 50, knew colors, shapes, etc. (She has another little girl, but I moved away when she was a baby, so I'm not sure how well she is doing. I assume, however, that she is also ahead of the typical 2-year-old). Now, granted, some of that is probably attributed to her daughter and her ability to learn, but some of that is also attributed to my friend and her ability to teach using whichever methods work best for her. She was a teacher prior to having children, so she may be better equipped than most to "unschool" her kids, but seemingly whatever she is doing for them is working.
I'm sure, just like with home schooling, some parents do it wrong and fail their children. However, some parents do a good job of unschooling their kids and make it work. I'm not sure which category this particular family falls into, but there are some people out there that are doing things right.
(On a sidenote: my friend homeschools...sorry unschools...her kids because her and her husband are kind of religious nuts. This family is doing it because they are kind of hippie nuts. Funny that families that do things like this tend to be one or the other. Maybe they all have more in common than they think!)

What a hot mess.
