Grow your bush like a real woman and put the 1970s Playboy Playmates to shame.

Yes!

The comedian Daniel Sloss does a bit on this.

You’re not reading this clearly.

I’m giving the answers the urology group told me, and also what I think. I am not saying do it, and I did say I don’t agree with it.

I hope so. I get what the urology perspective is. It’s honestly horrible to go through past infancy after 3 months of age, so being honest with your ability to do the necessary care is the most important thing. God it was a horrible thing to listen to though.

I worked in pediatric urology so I’ll give you their perspective first. The urologist’s assistant said the thing to do is assess honestly whether you’ll keep up with your child’s hygiene, if you are comfortable ensuring they’ll clean their foreskin as they grow up. My friend says she really had to stand over her son and tell him to wash his penis again and again. Boys are not the best at hygiene sometimes, so as long as you are comfortable ensuring he does so, don’t circumcise. If you don’t think you’ll be comfortable with that, be realistic, because boys get what’s called phimosis where the foreskin becomes stuck and doesn’t retract, and while there’s a cream called betnovate you can apply to relieve this, if it becomes chronic and there’s scarring, having circumcision as an older child is much more of an ordeal, as they have to go under general anesthesia. These are the pros and cons.

I think circumcision is a bad idea and don’t recommend it myself because I’ve heard a baby crying during one personally and that’s horrifying, but this is what the medical reality of it is, so be honest with yourself about what you can do as a parent. It’s honestly a terrible thing for them to go through without anesthesia as well. Bullying be damned, anyone who is offended by a normal penis isn’t worth your time anyway.

This gives me the heebie jeebies.

My ex can fold them. I tried it with some YouTube video but got nowhere, sort of an artful puddle at best.

"laughs in ANOVA convection oven*.

Actually I miss my old DeLonghi convection oven. Cleaning this thing isn’t great. My ex would not go for an air fryer but perhaps I’ll treat myself.

Must like the endorphins.

This makes me miss Flyingsquid.

Me, a couple of days at most when I had Norwalk.

My pug who passed recently would eat literally anything. This includes raw potatoes that he dug out of the ground himself, very hot peppers off the plant (he was delighted with this), a jar of dried soup beans, and a bag of slivered almonds. The first two I simply never thought he’d think to eat, the beans and almonds I thought were out of reach and weren’t. He was absolutely fine each time and very pleased with himself. When my ex would bring the grocery buckets in, he would be waiting and take a chomp out of anything he could reach, celery or lettuce or peppers. It really was cute despite the horrible poops he would have, and I miss him awful.

I keep my lunch in my work bag all day, not in the fridge, unless it’s salad where it should be crisp.

I did the European thing where I kept eggs on the counter. It’s best that way. Real unwashed farm eggs, not shit from the grocery store.

Dancing. I did go to a party last week with a DJ and danced my ass off anyway.

No, that’s narcissistic as far as I’m concerned.

I use YouTube music but I am going to change to Tidal. I’m so sick of YTM. It crashes all the time and stops playing randomly in the middle of songs. I tried Spotify which I hated, and Apple Music which seems to have different licensing for some stuff and doesn’t have a lot of the classical music I want, but also has a lot of stuff that’s nowhere else. It also mixed terribly. If Tidal pays artists better then that’s better anyway.

Also, two words for you: Metrolist and SimpMusic. Find your way. :)

I had a friend who lived that way for years in Baja, just went over for work and went home, loved it there.

Canada.

It truly is. I absolutely love it.
