Seconding the Ditty Bops. They're the pure essence of girliness. Whenever I hear them I feel like I should be wearing a big floofy dress and either baking something delicious or riding a bike with a basket full of puppies on the front.

I want to favorite spec80's comment about a hundred times. That's exactly what I was coming here to say.

Then go to therapy. SERIOUSLY. You have major problems that we cannot solve for you on AskMe.

I really, really enjoyed Shot In The Heart by Mikal Gilmore.

Like others have said, it sounds like there was maybe some crappy behavior on both sides. BUT. Dude. You said right to her face that you have zero interest in getting to know her boyfriend? And you showed up to visit without any kind of idea of anything you'd like to do during your visit?

Look, all I know is that if a friend came to visit me and expected me to be their de facto cruise director, I'd be a little irked. It's really not too much to expect one's guests... [more]

"Honey, on the days we are having bad gas can we both agree that we'll make an effort to go to bathroom to pass the gas?" "I don't want you to think that you can't fart in front of me, and sometimes I'll slip up too, but can we try to head to the bathroom on especially bad days?"

I'm really inclined to disagree with this approach, simply because it's a bit condescending. Come on, your girlfriend's not a five year old. She knows... [more]

A quick Googling gave me Seattle Appliance Repair. There were many other suggestions when I searched for "refrigerator repair seattle" (no quotes in my search string).

Oh, god, no. No, no, no, a thousand times no. Having been on the receiving end of many, many comments from a lunkheaded ex about how hot my friends were and how much he wanted to bang them, I can assure you: even if she's the most self-assured creature on the planet, it's still not going to be fun for her to hear that her boyfriend wants to sex up her hot friends.

Well, unless she also wants to sex up her friends. In which case, mazel tov!

I checked out that MySpace link that iconomy posted, and there hasn't been a new playlist posted by that guy since September 2007. I used to work for the company that made Forever 21's monthly CDs, and I just called their customer service line and was informed that Forever 21 terminated their contract and went with another service provider. (He thought it might be Muzak, but it could also be Play Networks.)

I'd suggest going to a Forever 21 store and asking to see the... [more]

Ground flax seed. Two tablespoons equals maybe 14% of the usual recommended fiber intake -- I add it to my morning yogurt or oatmeal and usually by the time lunch rolls around (4 hours later) I'm only just starting to get hungry instead of being ravenous to the point of eating my own face. It adds a really nice, nutty taste to things, and I've heard it goes pretty well in meatloaf/soups/stews and such. It's got to be ground, though -- unground flax seed will just shoot right through you.... [more]
