I enjoy the way she teaches me things. Thx lady.
One of the things I hear a lot is "contracts mean different things than the language in them says and that's why you need a lawyer"

This is generally not true.

My [53F] neighbor [56M] is utterly charming—which is a problem. I have more than one reason to keep men at arm’s length. But his cat [2F] found her way into my apartment. Now I am in a feline time-share. I don’t want him to get the wrong idea, but I can’t seem to resist either him or the cat. AITA?
...What's this?

A preorder for a Golden Years novella? Dropping on 12/31 (just in time to squirrel yourself away to read on New Year's day)?

Jesus. In the words of Chuck Knoll: The refs are going to fuck up. It’s on the team to play better than the refs ref so when they do fuck up, it doesn’t matter. The Lions failed. Only some kind of miracle will get us a wild card spot. *sigh*

one of the things being a romance reader has taught me is that purity culture (all sex is bad) and porn culture (all sex is salacious/emotionally hollow) are just two sides of the same coin, and it's really not worth fighting with either group of people.
