I've been researching women's sexual satisfaction for over 15 years Ok, that clears her of everything. She's allowed to be obsessed even with this type of thing because she's an expert and she's just weird like that. The people talking about a her letter giving off a vibe of "latent lesbian incestual tendancy" should probably ask themselves what makes them jump to such conclusions. scwizard’s last blog post..Follows from the previous entry

Also what's interesting, is that if you look at the comments of the right wing blog, a lot of them are perfectly fine with the gift. Some of them say that the gift itself is fine, but the language is evil ("how can you tell?" "I don't know, but its evil"). scwizard’s last blog post..Follows from the previous entry

Oh wait, it doesn't say explicitly that she purchased the vibrator. Well that could change everything, because that's where the line is. If it wasn't purchased, then I wouldn't use "creepy" and I wouldn't count it as evidence against her in a witch hunt. scwizard’s last blog post..Follows from the previous entry

You have ripened before my eyes
Where I see flowery language, the hard right folks see pedophilia?
What’s weird about this is that I see pedophilia in a lot of places, so that means they’re being REALLY paranoid.

Because I want you to discover the wonderful point of orgasm when your mind ceases to function and the growing ripples rise and erupt into shudders that will transport you.
Ok, a flowery description of your daughters orgasm is kind of off putting, however this is pretty much it. The rest of the letter is completely clean.

Wait, wait a second. I almost missed something. The part of the letter that I’d actually go so far to describe as “creepy” isn’t in the letter…

I’ve already selected the perfect vibe and written my accompanying letter. Although we have several years to go before she reaches 15, I’m ready.
This is “creepy”. The excuse that she has is that that she’s a feminist blogger and spends a lot of timing thinking about female sexuality, and thinking about raising daughters.

I wouldn’t use such harsh language if the letter was written before hand, and this was something planned for the future. However, the fact that she actually has already selected and purchased the vibrator “several years” in advance, crosses the line.

Do I think this woman would ever harm her daughter? No, the reason for this is because you’ve told me she’s a good person and I trust you.
Do I think the daughter is being “harmed” by such an act? I have no idea, such things are impossible to predict. There’s probably some precedent to this, but I don’t know what it is. Based upon my opinions of related matters though, I’d say no.
Would this evidence count against her in a pedophilia witch hunt trial? Yes, if I were the evil judge. Or if the hard right blogger you linked to was the evil judge.
Would this evidence count against her in a count of law? I would certainly hope not.

*clap*clap*clap* to all the accomplishments this week!

kitties can be pretty amazing and do things you would never really imagine… when we were growing up my mom had one of those headboards for her bed with little shelves with slidey doors. She would keep a ’secret’ stash of hershey’s kisses and noticed that they were disappearing. Of course, us kids were like ‘no WAY would we ever snag the chocolate with out asking!’ she did NOT believe us… until she WITNESSED the cat pulling them out one at a time by the little tags – and dropping them over the bed to the DOG who was then opening and eating them.

now that’s team work!!! and a mystery solved – hope yours gets solved!

Oliver – I do things like that for myself on a regular basis. If something is in a spot that makes it inconvenient to use as often as I need to use it, I find a different place for it. And if something never gets used and where it’s being stored would be a better spot for something that gets used frequently, I move things around.

The only problem is then communicating to everyone else who uses the kitchen where it goes now!

Pace, darling. I have 3 kittys. My matriarch kitty said the pencil lists and logic half of your brain was dreaming ..she said it was probably in its eraser phase. The non-linear half that was tossing toilet paper rolls around inside your head just wanted more litter in the box but the eraser phase is like a communications blackout ..so there you have it. This is kitty logic ..hope this helps. Yours truly, Desirae
oh, yeah, there was one more thing …meow.

Oh, good! I’m glad. I know you didn’t ask for all that advice or anything — I just felt so sorry for you stuck on the toilet with no paper and didn’t want you to have to go through that again! And I know sometimes people do things like store toilet paper in the garage because that’s just how they’ve always done it, and it never occurs to them that it’s a silly thing to do. My mother, for instance, used to have a set of bowls of various sizes that fit all inside each other, but she only ever used the largest one…so, for years, every time she wanted to use the bowl, she had to get on a stool, lift all the other bowls out, set them down, get the bowl she wanted, set it down, put the other bowls back in the cabinet, and then she could use this huge heavy glass bowl. She just kept doing it that way for years, because she never thought to do it another way! I think what eventually happened was that one day I was putting away the dishes, and a lightbulb went on in my head, and I found another place to stick those extra bowls. I think she has probably saved several hours of her life by now, with all the minutes that add up each time she would have to move those bowls to get the one she wanted!

It’s a very boring reason. When they took the cabinet out to replace it because of all the mold, I had to empty it completely. I took the toilet paper, of which there’s a lot, into the garage (it’s all wrapped and sanitary), because there wasn’t anywhere else to stick 30 still-wrapped rolls. And it hasn’t made it back into the bathroom yet.

We usually keep 8 rolls or so in the cabinet, but for the same reasons, we’d run out. It’s not a standard issue.

No, that was what I figured the answer would be. ;-) I always think it’s silly to store things far away from where I use them, but of all the things to do that with…toilet paper has to be the worst one! Even if I had to store other things in the garage, I couldn’t imagine storing extra toilet paper anywhere but under the sink. Do you just not have space under the sink or in the bathroom somewhere? Or a shelf or closet that’s at least near enough to the bathroom that in an emergency someone could sneak out with their pants around their ankles easily?
