Oh we exist, it's just some of us would never, ever go out with a geeky guy.
Don't get me wrong - I love geeky guys... as friends. Just never been attracted to one. All boyfriends and eventual husband have worked in non-tech fields. I get enough computers at work - don't need to talk about them at home too.
I could not care less about valentine's day. Maybe it's because I'm not american but I've always thought it the most worthless piece of blatant commercial bullshit. Mother's day is only slightly less pointless (and I'm also a mother).
I expect a bit of fuss on my birthday, and hubby and I always, always book a babysitter and go out on our anniversary, and we both have a thing about starting the first second of the new year with a big kiss.... but valentine's day? Fergeddit - I don't need hallmark to tell me when to be romantic!
I could bite, but really, what's the point?

while they're stuck indoors wasting all of their money and hard work on nagging, domineering wives and screaming, crapping, defiant kids.
On the family negativism - it's not all bad. The other night I was reading Hitchhiker's to my 10yr old and he laughed so hard he fell off the couch. Then we went to youtube and watched some of the old tv episodes. He's also starting to get interested in computers and what I do for my job. Sure it can be hard when they're little, but having a kid around who gets a huge kick out of all my nerdy interests, and is also good fun to take camping, bike riding and x-country skiing, is worth all the sleep deprivation and potty nightmares he put me through years ago.
It's amazing how much crap is going on in their heads during sex.
Shopping lists, did the kids do their homework, did I put the bin out, what time do I have to get up tomorrow, something I watched on telly that night.... hmmm George Clooney, my husband is George Clooney.... no that doesn't work, I wouldn't want to be married to him anyway... I know, George Clooney being fucked by Brad Pitt, now there's an image, yeah baby, do it!
It is EASILY felt with ones finger in the upper wall of the vagina, as a slightly more dense, raised portion.
That's the cervix! And I don't like anyone touching that.
The person is dead. They don't care anymore about Facebook. Let them fade, remember the good times you shared, and move forward. Honoring someone's memory doesn't mean canonizing them. If that person was the only thing keeping a group of people connected, then their absence means that the group should drift apart and move on - that's how humans should work.
Once upon a time people all lived in the same village all their lives and could visit the local cemetary to lay flowers and remember. Now many of us live a long way from people we care about. My friend died on the other side of the world and for me her facebook page is the only memorial I can visit. Dead people don't care about stones or urns or trees or park benches with plaques either - all that stuff is as a comfort for the living and I don't see why a facebook memorial page should be anything different.
Say what you like about Oedipus, he loved his mother...
Great, now I've got that Tom Lehrer song in my head...
Before this happened she told me lots of things that maybe she wouldn't have said later. She was very clear that they had only become a "church" for tax reasons - she consdiered it a very sensible move.
