I was married to a guy w/ NPD

and then I divorced him.

yeah, yeah, he had a tough childhood, as a wee lil toddler his parents broke his brain w/ dad beating mom and all that mind f*ck.

When I heard that disorders like this only get WORSE with age, I had a divorce lawyer on the phone so quick. I feel for my ex... poor guy... so long as he's not accompany-ing me through life.

btw, the old skool term for man w/ npd is "asshole"

ok, I watched it.

bad acting, really bad.

better actors can pick their material, I guess.

it's not funny, not even ironic (I was hoping it would be sarcastic), it's not intelligent enough for either.

It's just misogynist and racist... yay.

could he be making a point trying to make dipsh!ts understand?

I'm at work, so I haven't watched the video, but could this be the sort of thing that might get a narcissistic lunkhead thinking it might be kind've bad form to behave like this? ... when they might not have considered it from that perspective before? you know... way over the top to prove a point otherwise missed by someone who might miss the subtleties of behaving with empathy

tho... I guess, having run across some narcissisitic lunkheads in my past, the sarcasm, if it's there, would go over their heads.

oh heck... I'll watch the dang video...

caucus vs ballot - this article missed the biggest point.

I agree that the dynamic explained in this article is going on. Particularly that women may be afraid to speak up in support of Hillary because of ridicule from others in the Barack-cult and otherwise.

Consider how this effects the bottom line of the election numbers. Oh look, Barack's been winning the caucus states while Hillary's been winning the secret ballot states. And there you go, an advantage in a very close race.

I like Barack ...for 2012.

I really want to see what Hillary can do once she gets the chance. I just hope she gets a fair chance.

make a documentary a la the Cats of Mirikitani

film the process, then show the film on the indy circuit.

(yeah, it's different, the Mirikitani guy wasn't an addict or drunk)

so instead it's like the Cats of Mirikitani meets Celebrity Rehab.

seriously tho, don't feel bad 'bout doing what you have to do to get this guy out of your life. And be safe about it.

think about the E.M.T.'s families

when they're risking their lives to pull your carcass out of a ravine somewhere. They might care.

Original article: Good news for cat ladies!

pu-leez

perhaps it's 'cuz cat people annoy the people around them so much that everyone else just gives up and wants to die... thusly, throwing off the statistics

I love my egg toaster

I did get more egg cups online so I could wash one/use one, and they came up w/ a sturdier egg cup.

and it's nice to throw in a piece of asparagus and a lil cheese.

I freeze cooked bacon in proper portion sizes to throw in as well.

and I use the boiled whole egg part of it a lot too, it will boil 4 eggs at once to the level you like, soft/med/hard.

I've been using it for two years.

Got one for my high school aged neice, too she loved it.

I highly recommend it.

Original article: And baby makes two

thought experiment... what if this was the norm?

What if it was the norm that women had babies through sperm donors? Think of how that would change relationship dynamics. I'd love a world where if you're not hooked up by the age of 30 you're encouraged to go pick out some sperm and have a child. The whole 'catch a man' thing would go away, and, I think, people would have more honest and equal relationships.

I saw a documentary on tv a while back, about sex and relationships (I think, was the main topic) and they focused on Iceland, where single mom's are very prevelant 'cuz people just run around having sex in their early 20s, and have the kids. It's a socialist gov't, and I imagine that it works better in Iceland where the population there is all sort of related to each other, so that lil bastard isn't a lil bastard, he's a distant cousin.

Women are sold the line of the perfect wedding and marriage and Martha Stewart magazine supbscriptions... and we run around like crazy trying to make it happen. The thing is that the guys steeped in our american culture don't seem to notice their own biological clocks and complain that women are trying to trap them to have babies. So... there are so many single women out there, approaching 40 with their peers on the male side not thinking about 'the family way' until they're like 45 or so. Fertility does decline after a certain age, and with endometriosis and other fertility blockers, it's better to get a head start on having babies if you want them.

I wish I started earlier.

sperm shopping

just a note, as someone who's been shopping for both men and sperm online, I must say that men have far sweeter write-ups for their sperm than they do at the dating sites.

Perhaps they imagine their sperm going out to do wonderful things in the world, "read to the baby", "be sweet and fair with the child"... and at match it's "I watch football, you wear lil black dresses and bluejeans." ... just a lil less inspired when it's about dating.

in my experience anywho... so I'm sticking w/ the sperm shopping while meeting nice guys offline.
