HELP! Here is a TMI/STD question that I cannot really ask anyone in real life:

I woke up with a series of red welt like bums on my abdomen & bikini line, but not lower in the vadge area. There are about 18 little bug-bite like things about the circumference of a fingernail.

They have been there for a week now.

I travel a lot & also I had just used a new electric razor that sucked sow I have come down to the following scenarios, from worst to best case:

pubic lice (yikes!) (but would it be up on my stomach where there is no hair?

scabies

a serious attack of spider/bug bites

ingrown hair fiasco

HELP!

I just ate half a sleeve of stale off-brand Saltines for breakfast as they were the only readily apparent food in the house.

But I cannot go grocery shopping for two reasons: first, I left my car at the bar last night (because apparently three and a half beers was too much); second, BF and I are going on mini-vacation this week and therefore, we won't be here to eat food and we have no monies to spare on food.

Grrr. Argh. Saltines are not a good breakfast.

Oh hi, all! How's it going? It's a swamp here in lovely PA-it's been raining nonstop for days and everything feels soggy and gross. Including your truly. Blarg. Anyway I have a lament! Ready for some selfish whining? Okay! Well. As some of you may already know, Mr. Foibles and I have our own business. It's an auto shop and it's just the two of us here, so I occasionally help in the shop and handle all the customers and money and inventory and all that. We've been open nearly a year now and it's gotten progressively busier so we're very happy and making out pretty well. The downside to all this is the schedule. We're here six full days a week, usually from 8-6 M-S. Sundays we're closed but we always come in to clean and sort things and get organized and all. So it's really all we do. Needless to say, we don't have a social life anymore; we go to dinner a few times a month and that's about it. Neither of us see our friends much anymore either, and that's a little sad, but we knew going into it that our lives would be dictated by the business so that's that. Anyway, as I'm sure you can imagine, whenever an opportunity arises to go out and socialize, we're all over it. Like tonight for example. An awesome couple we know is getting married at this swanky-ass place with like seventy million guests and we've been looking forward to it for months. (me in particular since the last wedding we went to was not much fun for me-due to this one bitch that attended.) So even though we're working all day and I won't have time for a nap before the weddin', I was still really excited about going. That is, until we realized that tomorrow is Fathers Day. Which means we'll have to split the day between 1) Work at the house 2) Work at the shop 3) My parents' 4) His parents'. Yeah. So sleeping in is not gonna happen, therefore drinking/carrying on/exuberance/rug-cutting tonight is not gonna happen. I'm really bummed, man. Here's an opportunity which rarely (!) comes along; an event that we will both truly enjoy, that won't entail any dramz or stress, and we can't even stay late. Christ! I was daydreaming of Malibu & Pineapples and dancin' and wearing my favorite party dress, and Mr. Foibles in his sexy suit, and going home and having tipsy special times, but sadly it is not to be. Goddammit. Someone cheer me.

I'm seeing the "man who never comes". Anyone have any similar experiences?

On the two occasions where he should have come, he said "I'm uncrackable" and then "I never do". I still need to probe him a little further on this, like whether he can make himself come; whether he's EVER come in his life? He's quite shy, I wonder whether that's partly due to this.

But I'm more than a little concerned about sex with no climax. I rarely come through sex, but I'm more than happy if only my man does. If neither of us can, isn't this going to be the most frustrating sexual relationship ever?

@Dynamo: If that is how you gauge the success of a sexual encounter than yes, it will be very frustrating. I know because that's how I gauge the success of a sexual encounter. Which is why I don't mind manually stimulating during sex to help myself get off.

I know what you're going through and how it can mess with your head, how you qualify yourself and your relationship, (at least the sexual dynamic) etc. It sucks. I feel you.

I consider myself a fairly upstanding adult. I floss, I make my bed most days, I've never been arrested...

But a 19 year-old friend of the family is staying with me for the summer and now I feel like that girl your mom warned you about. I've find myself huddled under the stoop smoking joints on the sly and sneaking boys in the house when she's asleep.

She just walked in unexpectedly and I almost broke my ankle rushing to hide the vodka. It's like living with my mom all over again.

Hello kids! Took my nephew to the zoo today and saw Up. All in all a fun day. The wind outside is crazy and out of control, but it's warm inside and there are caramel pecan brownies and milk.

How is everyone doing tonight? Is the gang all here?

OK, its late and I've just gotten home from a great night of food & drinks and I'm a little bit tipsy, so seems a good time to ask.... anyone have a favorite vibe or toy? I went to babeland the other night to replace my rabbit and considered the myriad of other options and was just lost... any really good ones or bad ones?

I made pizzas with friends tonight. We made so many varieties:

tomatoes with fresh mozarella and basil

sauteed mushrooms with fresh mozarella and hot peppers

sauteed onions, peppers, and mushrooms with tomatoes and goat cheese

smoked salmon with goat cheese, capers, and asparagus

And for dessert, we had a cake made from bitter oranges with a tart cream layer and sweet vanilla icing with white chocolate shavings.

DROOL.

What did y'all eat tonight?

@thesciencegirl: I baked some chicken in a lemon, garlic and herb marinade. I served with whole wheat couscous (cooked in low-sodium chicken broth) and broccoli with lemon juice and a teensy bit of butter.

Fresh strawberries on the side. Yummy!
