so what does he need to do? wear a cup when he has to leave the house? or should i just sort of park him in front of his computer with an ice pact on his junk and periodically feed him? he's not working right ( doing online teaching courses--unemployment is a bitch) now so really he doesn't have to go out if he doesnt want to. also, did your ability to climax with intercourse change? because thats our biggest problem next to the pain. and hour+ doesn't do it, and a big reason for that is any time i move, he gets pulled on

i appreciate your concern and response, but after researching, he decided he really wanted this done. we tried stretching for a while, but it just wasn't working for him. he also has aspergers syndrome, which makes his skin much more sensitive, so the pain of pulling it back was way more than with neurotypical people. the docs said that now its gone beyond just inflammation and is also scar tissue, so he's dead set. but thanks for the extra information, its always best to look at all your options.

she put it in the suitcase just to get it out of the apartment to a place where she could bury/cremate it. and the owners were on vacation, so they couldn't have said goodbye in person.

fair point. this is what comes of late night internetting...a)does a less dismal asperbergers relationships book exist b)would other people read one. there. i think that was it.

i was a little, but wouldn't be surprised if he was a little gender queer or something. its a wide spectrum you know? (and no totally straight man could like tori amos that much)

dunno about the job thing...every job i got as an undergrad was because they got sick of seeing me checking in to politely and perkily ask " has anyone had a chance to look at my application? No? well, thats alright! see you next week!"

i agree about CS Lewis. he's one of the good ones, he was an atheist convert. true story. another good epistlory , a YA one i think EVERY tweenage girl needs to read is "Fat Chance" , which is about a scrappy, chubby Jewish girl's struggles with bulimia. its actually way funnier than it sounds .Also my first exposure to jewish culture, which Judi (its so good i remember her name after all these years) made sound so fun i was kind of embarrasingly excited the first time i met an honest to goodness jewish person (lived in WV till i was 18, not my fault)

thanks. i just ordered a 40 something manic panic bleaching kit ( it was cheaper to order together, because it comes with the purple too). thanks to both you nice ladies. its a hair-icle (miracle pun? sorry) i'm coming out of a very long illness in which i have felt out of control of my body for about 6 years and finally decided to take control of what i can, and that is my hair. my kick ass purple striped hair. thanks for helping !

hmm. a dry heat couldve done it. (im not in seattle, but i cant imagine that place being dry, somehow) if you have spidermites, there will be fuzzy white stuff on the plant. try spraying it with some Neem spray (lightly, over do it and youll burn your leaves) and offer the plants some treats. leftover pasta water, epsom salt or coffee grounds will help. water and only re-water when soil goes dry. youd be surprised how often you kill plants by fiddling with them too much though

i'm fresh out of the hospital from the surgery, so i'm still on heavy narcotics/a restricted diet, so i can't try it yet, was just curious for the coming months...but the vaporizer doesnt sound that bad. i just don't want to smoke too much, cancer runs in my family and the meds i was on all those years i was sick were cancer-causing too. but weed is really helpful for giving me an appetite ( years of ulcerative colitis has given me food aversion, eating kinda wigs me out cuz it always resulted in hours in the bathroom)
