I’ve written 6 letters this week
To 6 different people.
Okay, 2 postcards and 4 letters. But I’m counting them.
If anyone else wants one, message me your address. I’m collecting penpals. You don’t HAVE to write back, though.

Interviewer: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Barney Frank: No.
Interviewer: Why not?
Barney Frank: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
Interviewer: I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.
Barney Frank: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion?
Awesome.
Love it.

Someone explain to me the point of a promise ring. I have always found it to be a ridiculous idea. The reason I bring it up is that my friend was just given one but yet her boyfriend is peculiar about her spending time with her guy friends. If you care for her so much, shouldn’t you trust her enough to let her spend time with friends of the opposite sex? Or are you just too insecure?
Reply boxes are too short.
A promise ring, from my understanding, is something that is supposed to be mutual. In all cases I’ve heard of, it’s something that Christian tweens do to promise themselves/their families/Jesus to not give in to their raging hormones. I have never heard of someone giving a promise ring to someone else. Maybe I am horribly misunderstanding what a promise ring is…
Anyway! In your friend’s case, her boyfriend sounds like a controlling jerk. Does he hang out with girl friends who are not your friend? How does your friend feel about the ring?
In a relationship, you absolutely must have that trust there. And it’s not just trust, it’s respect, and allowing her (or him or ze, replace pronouns as needed) to have her own group of friends and to be her own person. Limiting who someone hangs out with is not cool. Even if it comes from being insecure and selfish enough not to work on your own problems, it is something that pretty much never goes over or ends well. If I were your friend, I’d walk away from this dude.

I will not rest until I have a Multi-Purpose Card addressing every single possible incident or event ever

This instrument looks like an ophicleide mixed with a trombone… talk about incest! The ophicleide was the father of the tuba, so that thing’s like kissing cousins.
» I have terrible news for anyone who likes good things.
Dublin Dr Pepper is no more. Real cane sugar Dr Pepper is dead. Non-hfcs Dr Pepper will be limited to Heritage Dr Pepper (made with real beet sugar!) whenever Dr Pepper/Seven-Up decides to make it available again. Which might not be ever? I’m sad.
It’s not dead! There’s a place in West Jefferson, NC that makes cane sugar Dr. Pepper…

I used to live about 20 minutes from there. Fear not, friends.
