Good for her! I was part of the spelling bee madness for a while this year because I had a student who made it into the NYC citywide bee. It's really an interesting culture.

You rock, Yulkendy! (Some Dominican girls have really interesting names.)

Seriously. Where else can you win a prize for being able to spell in your own language?

Think about that for a while.

That's amazing. English is my first language and there's still words I have to look up all the time. AND I'm an editor. You go girl!

I'm tired of immigrants moving to this country and think that they can just take the jobs and spelling bees of Americans who did not actually work as hard as they did at spelling!

An ex once contacted me about a year after he totally flaked out on me. All I had to ask him was "How's your dog? I like her."

"10.) We know that you can sometimes smell our periods when we haven't showered. We wish we knew what to tell you about that, other than: "breathe through your mouth""

OY! That just put me off my lasagna.

I POOP.

My current dating person is not into poop humor. Like, at all. He doesn't laugh at poop jokes from anyone. Which is kinda sad to me, because all manners of poop are just hysterical.

But he's not so fucking stupid that he pretends like I don't poop. I mean, we all know everyone else poops.

ZOMG WIMMENS THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING THAT IS NOT HOT IT IS UNSETTLING TO MEEEE

Ooh, how about what we're glad men *don't* know?

I'll start:

That I'll happily watch that awful, bloody mixed martial arts crap on Spike TV you love so much because I lurve me some tattooed, muscle-dude eye candy... But I'll still wrangle the laptop away from you when it's on because that's "your" show, so me getting the computer is only fair.

@IvyLeagueMetalhead: Oh, my gentleman friend and I have that as a well-settled rule: if it's your show, the computer is mine, and vice versa. No monopolizing both.

Then again, when we both have computers, we have to determine who is actually doing work and who is only dicking around, and the nuances come in, and it's all very complicated.

1)We are all individuals, and if there is something that we feel you should know about us personally we'll tell you, it's call communication, we hope you'll do the same.

2) See number 1

3) See number 1

4) See number 1

5) See number 1

@whats_in_a_name: COTD, as far as I am concerned.

What a simple, yet apparently difficult-to-grasp concept.

I may be a total cynic but I don't even think men hate obvious makeup all the time. Usually you get the "you look so pretty without all that makeup" pretty early in a relationship and I generally see it as a control mechanism. Like if they can get me to stop looking at it, guys will stop looking at me.

Then again, you can pry my kohl eyeliner from my cold dead hands, so good luck to any and all future suitors who dislike the stuff.
