Yes. Like, really yes.

Pues, soy de Arizona--no de Peru--pero hablo un poquito y aprecio la oportunidad de practicar! :) A menudo me preocupo que estoy perdiendo la lengua--escribir solo estas frases cortas requiere...

My wife and I are each other's "firsts". Been together 9 years, married for 2, and very happily so far. :)

Seconded. (I may have been the one to recommend it to you!) The Selfish Gene is one of...

I watched it yesterday via the link here. Really good talk and encouraging! Reminds us that even though we cut links out of our food chains all the time through hubris or negligence, we can still...

Your internal clock is more accurate than you probably think it is. It's most likely just a subconscious mental habit.

Mouth breathing is horrible for your teeth--it dries out your saliva, which protects your teeth from decay; your immune system--it bypasses the mucus membranes and hairs that are meant to trap...

I have a history of neck muscle spasms from a fall off the bleachers in high school (landed on my head and shoulder and tweaked my neck pretty hard). For me the best thing is always to take 3 or 4...

Oh, OK. That's not QUITE so bad. We were in MA and OR and only saw each other in person every 3-4 months on school breaks. Probably could have handled several years of being 40 minutes apart if we...

It's perfectly reasonable to want to have sexual pleasure with your partner without wanting to have a child or spread a disease neither of you may even know about. Smart =/= fearful, you weird, weird...

Gods, I'm glad my wife and I have never had other partners. No condoms needed FTW.

I always use butter. It works great.

Wow. I don't know if we would have made it 7 years apart. Damn. That must have been tough.

I asked her to the prom our junior year of high school. We had our first kiss a week later after the cast party for the Wizard of Oz, in which I was playing the Tin Man. We got frozen yogurt. I still...

I think it is love, but it's the simplest, naivest and least meaningful kind of love.

It doesn't really have to be from afar either; you can know someone quite well and be in love with them...

250g carbs is not nuts at all for the level of activity you're describing. I'm pretty convinced the low-carb part of Primal is pretty much bullshit. There's no reason for normal people to eat a...

We actually got a (brief) snow flurry in Phoenix of all places yesterday. We've been having the weirdest weather this winter.

Keep safe and warm everybody!

Chaohinon, you are awesome. I have a man-crush on you after reading this thread.

BUT forced-castration threats, even meant in jest, are not a good way to reinforce your point, here. Bad call.

My wife and I do plan to have kids in a few years, yes. Thanks for the vote of confidence, but we'll see how it goes when we get there. I think it's great that treating your kid that way worked out....

Totally. The "no horseplay" rules schools all seem to be adopting these days are anti-male bullshit in my opinion. There's nothing wrong with playful wrestling--and it's not hard to tell the...

Agree. I still think that intentionally causing pain is an inappropriate form of discipline, though.

I don't think I have as much experience as Scott F, but disciplines like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, mixed martial arts and Krav Maga have excellent reputations as teaching effective combat skills....

Kids will learn about violence from other kids, typically at a very early age. That's no reason to teach them that their parents are to be obeyed out of fear (and yes, if you use physical pain as a...

And you are still alive. I hope he didn't hurt you too badly.

I don't have kids yet. When I do, I hope I can raise them without ever striking them; that's the goal, and we'll see if I succeed in 25 years or so.

I tend to think hitting kids represents a...

Not everyone is really choosing to do boring work--in fact most people aren't. For the most part people do uninspiring, uninteresting jobs because it's the only way they know to feed, clothe and...
