I'm currently about 300. If I ever succeed in getting back down to 220ish, I may well have some sagging skin that I would want to address. I've seen a couple of guys at my gym who lost substantial weight and their skin didn't really adjust, and I would be very self-conscious about it if I looked like that. Also apparently it's a real issue with chafing. Aside from that no. My skin is extremely fair and sensitive and doesn't heal all that well, so I would be one of those people you could tell had work done.

It would be super awkward if the BIL has been a lurker here and known for a couple of years now...

Yeah we've pretty much all got internet-induced ADD at this point. It(well my inability to ignore it) has hindered my life, I would say. In particular it's been ruining my sleep. I need to go buy a 5 dollar alarm clock and put my phone away at night.

Don't leave us hanging, man!

Um, what do you mean? They don't just jerk off the bull?

Yeah I just kinda figure Vegas is a gamble anyway, I have other fun things I'm doing, so willing to take a stab at it. I would guess you do better last minute with him than pre-planning if you want to be strategic about it. He posts on his twitter sometimes when he is available "right now."

If you have "sugaring" done rather than waxing, over time the hair supposedly becomes thinner and in some cases goes away. I had my crack sugared just once and some of that hair just never came back. But I have very fair thin skin so I may be more prone to the follicles getting ripped out.

SPILL, girlfriend!

Dark rooms freak me out. Sorry, I need to be able to check for open sores.

I think humans as social animals will always be inherently inclined to enforce some sort of "norms" and there's only so much getting around this.

So with all this talk of the casting couch and #metoo and whatnot. Do we think Marky did it with Calvin Klein to get ahead, or did his brother's NKOTB status keep him from needing to do that?

You should talk to a pension actuary. There are things you can do to shelter significant amounts of income as a sole proprietor that go well beyond IRA contribution limits.

The abortion or the pregnancy?

When have teachers ever stopped bullying? When I was in First grade at the end of lunch in the classroom I would walk back to put my lunchbag back in the closet and the boys who were playing in the back of the classroom would tackle me. Every time. The only time anything came of it was when I bit one of my attackers and I got sent to the office.

Sod decoding purplekow's blind item...action movie stars who may have been confused... The Rock vs. Vin Diesel? (obviously Vin Diesel) Chris Evans vs Chris Pine? (prob Chris Pine) Patrick Swayze vs Kurt Russell? I can't really think of too many action stars that people might mix up....

I think far and away the most common implication is meth for PnP. But there are always people who don't know what things mean - I had a 20something coworker from the sticks who thought "hooking up" meant kissing.

About 12 years ago my then-employer's dental plan said they did not cover implants because with a 50% failure rate, they regarded them as still "experimental." My niece has one(one of her front teeth just was never there), but she is young and healthy so I suspect that improves the odds considerably.

It's the hardest part to "fake" basically. I don't buy it as a herpes fear thing as herpes is spread skin to skin and can happen almo I think it has to do with how much in denial of their attraction the guys are...sucking a cock for many is viewed as a chore, but can be rationalized away as it's only being fair that if you want someone to suck you off, you return the favor, likewise with anal. Kissing is another matter.

I've heard "seed" used.

Is getting a motel room for one night and slipping away an option?

Once a year is the standard. And there is stuff that can go on below the gumline that is serious. But most dental insurance is very close to a wash in terms of premium versus what it covers(annual limits are often low); if you are reasonably good about your oral hygiene you're probably better off putting the monthly premium into a savings account and paying out of pocket. The dentist will often cut you a deal to not have to deal with filing a claim with the insurance company which will pay less than sticker price anyway.

I've asked dancers at Adonis Lounge what their name is(not having met them before) and most will tell me "X, but Tim lists me as Y in the emails." At which point I wonder why they bother to have the stage name at all. Then again, I was at one point a fairly regular presence there and they may have picked up on the fact that the staff "knows" me and thus are fairly confident I'm not a serial killer/stalker/cop.

Happy Birthday!

My dentist did once suggest I switch to getting cleanings every three months to help with gingivitis when I was in my late 20s, and after less than two years she said it had improved and I could go back to every 6 months. She did offer to replace my silver fillings with porcelain and I said yes because I had some rather large metal fillings that I was self-conscious about and they were decades old anyway. But since then she hasn't done anything that could be characterized as pushing stuff on me. Of course she could just be waiting until my front tooth which is mostly veneer fails and then I will probably be a candidate for 4 implants because my top 4 teeth really don't match up that well...

I would never tell someone anything negative about their tattoo. What's the point? It would be obnoxious. (Well I suppose if they got something written in a language I knew and they didn't and it was something offensive, I might. Or if their tattoo was a swastika and not the Hindu one...). But my general opinion of them is they only look good on people who look even better without them. Come to think of it, that's often true of many types of clothes as well... Body modification is a whole other thing and those giant earlobe stretchers flat-out skeeve me out. The occasional piercing doesn't really have the same effect, but beyond a couple, I think it's just odd-looking.
