This is a witnessed suck earlier this afternoon while I was at the library.

I was at the checkout desk, helping one of my students get a library card. A thin, older guy is sitting on the edge of the desk, waiting for his daughter to get her library card from another librarian.

Librarian: (to me) So, we're closed tomorrow for Veteran's Day.
Man: *jumping into our conversation* What?! You're closed?!
Librarian: Yessir. To commemorate our veterans.
Man: You know what it is? Y'all are just LAZY.
Librarian: It's a national holiday.
Man: No, y'all just don't wanna work. Americans are so damn lazy! Taking so many damn holidays! They don't do it anywhere else in the world, especially Europe!
Librarian: *exchanging glances with me*  Erm, in France they're entitled to six paid weeks of vacation per year, sir.
Man: ... ... They should do it like in Japan! They have the best work ethic--double shifts, go in early every day, leave work late everyday, they never see their families!


...considering that Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world, I don't know if that's a resounding endorsement.

And, considering that I'd seen this man earlier with his daughter (who looked to be about 9), haranguing her for forgetting what her address zip code was, and going on at her about stupid the library was for requiring a parental ID to get a card with unlimited borrowing privileges,  I....feel very sorry for the daughter.


(I don't think the librarian was doing a zorro? because she was really very polite throughout the entire thing and was just attempting to get back to our business.)

I work in a grocery store doing price change, which is anything related to the prices of things or the labels on the shelf.
On Halloween my boss decided to put all the candy on for half off. I changed all the prices and printed out new labels.
The labels had the item description and the original price on top, and on the big yellow dangly part of the label it had the new price in big numbers. If you squinted, just above the new price it said 'Manager's Special'.
As I was hanging the new labels a very concerned looking customer approached me.

"Excuse me," she said, pointing to the small bit of text. "Is this price only for your managers?"

Why yes, miss. Our new advertising strategy is to show the general public all the amazing perks of being a grocery store manager. The candy sells much faster when it's cheaper for people other than our customers.

I've got some leftover sundried tomato pesto in my fridge, it's amazing. But I'm bored with it on pasta. I've googled to find some different ideas and all I get is spreading it on bread, pizza, pasta, salad, and other boring fancy ways.

So, I figured, trashy_eats could be MUCH more creative. :D

So yes, how would you use pesto if you had major munchies before bedtime? :3

 Anyone found free porn that is specifically for girls only?
I've found forthegirls.com or something like that, but you have to pay :\


I'm looking for a site that has mainly dicks on it, and is a tad more on the romantic side, has fore play, etc.
I've tried reading erotica, but that just doesn't do it for me anymore.

so i have been reading this community for the last couple of days and looking through the memory, i have found some stuff, but not all the information that i need. i can orgasm from clitorial stimulation, quite easily actually, but i have never had a piv orgasm. are there any positions that are easier then others for this? i am dying to see what it feels like. and second of all, my ex husband really destroyed me sexually. he always put me down sexually and said i did everything wrong all the time. and that i was horrible. my new boyfriend says different, but now im scared to start anything outside of the normal everyday hum drum.  i want to do something that he will day dream about at work. text messages that really make him horny lol. i just want to regain some sort of confidence in my "ability" lol.

Hi. I'm not sure where to post this, I'm not sure it has anything to do with my vagina, but I don't know where else to ask.

I have this rash on my buttcheek. Only my left one. I've been to the doctor about it, and he gave me some medication which cleared it up, but once I stopped taking the medication, it came right back. He said he didn't think it was an STD. Some of it looks like acne, but it's very painful and sometimes bleeds. They kind of look like mosquito bites but they don't itch, and some of them are just red dots. I noticed this a few months ago and I have no idea what it is.

Do you have any idea?

Hello! I've got an uncomfortable question for you all. I developed a yeast infection about three days ago, and have been treating for the past two with garlic. My period just came this morning, but the YI hasn't really cleared up; everything is still itchy/abraded, and hurts like the dickens. The garlic was doing an all right job taking care of the itch, but what should I do now that I've got my period?

Also, should I avoid using tampons? I hate pads, and I began using Instead cups again last month, but I have a feeling they'd be too uncomfortable to put in and take in while my poor beaver is in its present condition. Is there something topical I could put on the area to make it feel less battered?

Long-time lurker, third-time poster.

This actually happened to me quite a few years ago, but I was having a conversation with someone today and was reminded of this absurd incident.

Video store suck )

tl;dr - Woman cannot figure out the alphabet, does not compute unavailability of the the movie "Sounder," hates corporate America and ME personally, and apparently has early onset Alzheimer's or something affecting her memory.

I had some leftover rice in the fridge, so I heated it up a little.
I mixed in some sour cream, grated cheddar, salt, and pepper, and topped it with more grated cheddar.
Then I popped it back in the microwave for 30 seconds.

SO GOOD.

How do you like to "recycle" leftover rice?

Peanut butter + honey (on bread) = foodgasm.


I've been meaning to try it (I've heard of other people doing it, and I looove honey and peanut butter, even non-combined)


FOODGASM!! :D

So, yeah. Any other ideas for peanut butter and/or honey? Or, if you just want to agree... ;D

I work at an east coast grocery store. It's name deals with a large type of bird. This happened a while ago, and I just thought about it now.


I was working on express, when this old lady comes into my line.

I ring up her items, and then I get to a Tupperware container of scallops which our seafood section puts scallops into. As I go to put it into the bag, she asks me if I can open it for her because it is hard for her to open as she has arthritis. I open it, and it put the lid back on loosely for her. I ask her if that is ok, and she says just to hand it to her. I hand it to her and she goes to open it, and takes a scallop and eats it. These scallops aren't cooked so I was kinda just like..... what??? She was like "Lol, I'm going to die from doing this hahaha." I was lolol uhhhh.... ?? I just keep ringing her up, and she tries to talk to me about good seafood restaurants around here. She then goes on her way, and me and my co worker are just like LOL wut. o_0

I have four pounds of conventional American hot dogs that I need to use before they go off. I don't like hot dogs very much just as hot dogs, though I can take them once in a while. I hate throwing away food, especially when I paid for it. Baking them in biscuit dough will get rid of six or eight of them, but I badly need a few ideas for making the rest of them interestingly edible.

I've already Googled around for a while and mostly came up with recipes involving cutting up the dogs and heating them with canned beans. Or baking them into "corn dog muffins". I want to go a little more exotic and less middle of the road than that, to put it mildly. I have a big pantry full of Asian, Mexican and Italian ingredients and seasonings along with all the American staples, and spicy-hot is no obstacle. Has anyone tried treating hot dogs the way they might treat, say, Chinese sausages or chorizo? Were the results acceptable/horrifying/surprisingly good? Kickstart my imagination, please. :)

I am currently making potato soup with fennel, leeks and shallots.  I am using the darker part of the leeks for a veggie stock and was wondering if I could use the stems of the fennel in the stock as well?  it smells the same as the bulb, but i'm not sure if it tastes different.  help????

 *sigh*

I'm 99% sure I've got my first yeast infection.

Since I'm also 99% sure this is because I use a menstrual cup -- and because I'm new at it, stupid, and didn't do a good job of washing my hands before insertion -- I started looking for remedies first over at [info]menstrual_cups , because I also needed a way to get the yeast off my cup before using it again.

Anyway, I'm pretty familiar with the common home remedies from reading VP for ages (and reading every single archive, ha) so I know I can use yogurt and garlic, or even that violet stuff, but I don't have any of that lying around and today I didn't have my car.

What I did have is apple cider vinegar, and leftover tampons. Since the gals at the cup comm recommend soaking your cup in ACV to kill yeast, and since its listed as one of the possible douches, I figured why the hell not, and soaked a tampon in ACV, shoved it up there and let it be for a couple hours.

I don't have a clue how long this will take to fully kill the yeast, but I can already say that it's killed the itch. With the exception of some initial tingles and a slight burning for the first couple minutes after insertion, it doesn't appear to be bothering my vag at all. I plan on repeating the process tomorrow unless it stops working or starts hurting.

Anyway, I thought I'd post here as another alternative treatment option. Again, this is my first YI and I don't know how long they last, but I'll probably go 3 or 4 days and update here with the results. For the meantime however...has anyone else used this method?

My apologies for what's probably another stupid question...

I found a recipe for clam sauce I'd like to make here. At present I have minced, not chopped clams...

My question is, since I assume the canned clams are uncooked (alliteration ftw!), how do I know when they are cooked?

I've made clam chowder with them before, but since my recipe for that has the chowder simmering for an hour I never really thought about it.

Is it like shrimp, where they will change color? Or will I just have to guess?


Thanks =).

Hi all!

My good friend Caleb's birthday is on Sunday and all I can get out of him as to what he wants is cheesecake. So Cooking Community, hit me with your BEST cheesecake recipes, links, whatever.

Thank you in advance.
 
 
Hi Everyone!  So im kinda scared and freaked out right now.  I just want to cry.  I started my period two years ago and have never been able to insert a tampon.  I really looked at my vagina for the first time tonight, and it doesnt look like a normal one (well it doesnt look like the diagram does).  There is a vaginal hole, but off to the side is another tiny tiny hole that kind leads to the vaginal hole (if that makes sense).  Its also very painful to even try to insert a tampon.  I don't think this is normal.  What will need to happen in order to fix this issue?   What will he doctor do?  Ugh this sucks :(  And im scared.  Help please? ??

I don't think I've ever posted about this story. I was just reminded of it while talking to a coworker about crazy people.

It's around 6 o'clock, when I used to host down under. I seat a couple in the dining room and go back to my hostess stand. Literally a minute later the couple STORMS out the door, growling to themselves. They were so outraged, but we were like "WTF??? O__o" Server S comes up to the stand, in complete shock. "S, what's up with them?? :O"

"They left because their server was black."
"......................... whut?"

They came back twenty minutes later to sit in the bar area but they had a short meal. Since 4 of 5 workers were black. :/ It was really hard to not kick these people.
