Please don't declaw your kittens.  It's the equivalent of a person getting his or her fingertips cut off at the last joint.

Is it abuse?  I personally think it is, and so do a lot of other countries where it is illegal because it is considered inhumane.

Also, declawing kittens makes it painful for them to walk, and can make it painful for them to use the litter box--and then you have your kittens peeing on your new furniture.

I have a kitten now, and adopted two kittens after moving into a new apartment and buying new furniture and I have never had any problems with scratching.  I just bought them scratch pads to use.

"slept with quite a few girls" does not really correspond with being experienced.

If you aren't enjoying it, and your post make it sounds like you aren't - then there's no reason not to wait until you find a guy you make a connection with.

 Do you really think that's necessary? can't women enjoy sex w/o needing to form some kind of special bond with a guy? I'm 24 and if I had of waited for a special connection to have sex I'd still be a virgin to this day cause I've never been in love or anything like that. I"m just tired of being told to wait on some shining knight in armor that might not come  until i'm 40. I just hope that the next guy will be better

If my only options were crappy sex and no sex, I'd buy a vibrator and wait until I found Mr. Right.  Not that you can't have good sex without a connection, but a battery-operated boyfriend is probably a better choice than the douche-bag with the emover wearing an Ed Hardy shirt.

Honestly, my advice boils down to about three things: don't date selfish guys, good dancers are not automatically good in bed (that is a huge lie that needs to be stomped out!!) and buy a vibrator.  Probably not very helpful, but good luck!

If guys do have it easier socially (and I agree that they oftentimes do) then women need to be moving in that direction.  Instead, we're breeding a modern type of insecure man.  Won't it be great when we can all hate our bodies as equals?

If a guy asked me my jean size, I'd reply with something very "unlady-like"...but if society is saying a woman's most important assets are her physical qualities, then curb-stomping one man isn't going to solve the problem.

I'm getting married in December and we're planning on having a dessert reception (which is just what it sounds like, all desserts).  I've heard of this working out really well for other couples...and I love dessert!!!

Chel, I was really surprised when I saw your cat because she looks like my cat!

I've seen other tortoiseshells, but not any that looked like her!  The few I've seen were brown and black or tan and black!  My cat (Celes) is the friendliest cat I've ever met.  She's like a puppy.  I have three other cats, and although it took her time to adjust, she eventually became friendly.  Good luck!!

Prawns.

 I did not like that movie

 Me either- I still don't understand what all the hype was about.

I went to see it on a whim and absolutely loved it.  I've seen it twice in the theater, and I am usually too cheap to go to the theater at all!  I guess it was just my kind of movie though.

Wait--that's not a proper internet forum response.  I meant to say...

YOU ARE BOTH WRONG AND NOT ENTITLED TO AN OPINION UNLESS I SHARE IT BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE START HAVING DIFFERENT OPINIONS IT IS WASTEFUL AND TERRORISM!!!  EVERYONE MUST LIKE THE MOVIES I DO!!!!

My boyfriend likes to tell me that if I had been born a couple hundred years ago I would never have wanted for anything; Dark hair, curvy (his words), pale, and dark lips...I would have been the cultural ideal (well...in Europe).  I could have sat around being all beatific and what-not while people painted pictures of me.  I've always hated my skin tone, but my overzealous use of sun protection has been to my benefit thus far!

I hate Heidi and Spencer with the fury of a thousand blazing suns.  Blatant Britney rip-off performance.  Maybe if we all just stop looking at them they'll go away?

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep working on it!  I just like improving on whatever I do!

corvuscorax, are you saying you don't shave your underarms or your legs?

 Of course.  I stopped when I realized it was a waste of time for me.  Besides, I was always a little uncomfortable with the child-like hairless female ideal shaving plays into.  Mature women have body hair, children don't.  It even took me a while to get over being self-conscious about leg hair, but now I don't even think about it. 

 

You are my hero.

I agree, very ballsy not to shave these days.  It's gotten to the point where women are berated as being "gross," "dirty, "etc., if they don't shave their pubic hair.  It makes me want to grab society by the throat and just....RAAWWRGGG.  Why do people care?  And why do women do it?  Do they think guys everywhere are going to stop having sex if women worldwide decide to stop shaving their pubes? I mean, yeah, maybe some will...and then they'll start fighting over the women who shave because they like it, and kill each other off in the ensuing Pubic War.

Sorry, went on a tangent of wishful thinking.

I certainly don't think manners are dead where I live.  I'm not just from the South, I'm from West Virginia (where we're decades behind in everything apparently).  Men, and people in general, are very polite here.  Yes ma'am, no sir, thank you, please.  People are also super polite when driving (or so I've learned the hard way when out of state ).  I think it's dying in the younger generation a bit, but not compared to other areas.  I'm only confident in this because every time I talk to someone who visits from out of state, they remark on how polite and generous everyone is.  I guess it's one of the nicest things about living here.

On that note, my fiance is very polite.  His parents and grandparents taught him well I guess, so he's surprised that I'm surprised at the things he does without being asked.  He's not old-fashioned about it, iit's just how he is.  He's so respectful it's hard to understand why women (and men) stay in relationships with inconsiderate jerks!!

I recently started using alternate grip and I can lift a lot more that way.  I have tiny lady hands so that's my excuse for not using pronated. (OK, a terrible excuse!)

Charleet is right.  I stayed out of serious relationships for, well, my entire young life.  I was focused on school and wasn't willing to waste time on someone I didn't feel really passionate about.  I kind of thought I would be alone forever because I was unwilling to settle.  Now I'm engaged.  If you'd told me I'd be in a relationship like this a year ago, I would have laughed uproariously.  I guess jblarghp and I have similar stories (ps, my b-day is Feb. 15!).

For early class, I toast a bagel (the weight watchers kind has only 150 calories and lots of protein) and put some cream cheese on it.  And coffee!!  Keeps me full for about 3 hours.  I also like protein bars or yogurt with granola and/or fruit.

And maybe this is just me, but don't even bother with the low fat or fat free cream cheese, it tastes like punishment.

Short hair looks good on angular faces I think...but really it just depends.  Long hair is a lot of trouble to take care of if it's thick.  You should pick the hair you want, society be damned!   I think more people would have edgier or crazier hair if they weren't afraid of being judged by stupid people.

But I'm on the verge of becoming a 25 year-old tattooed Jezebel, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
