Hotel etiquette if you’re messy

Sheets? Towels? What do you do when you did?

A:

 We have something in common, ST: I once met a guy who was super-hot and caring and considerate, a guy whose libido matched my own and whose long-term goals aligned with mine, and who just so happened to bug the shit out of me.

Here's what I did: I married that motherfucker.

My husband still bugs the shit out of me sometimes, just as I doubtless bug the shit out of him sometimes. But there's no such thing as a bug-free boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, unicorn, gimp or whatever. LTRs are about identifying the bugs that some caring and consistent prodding can fix — like that chewing-with-her-mouth-open shit — and accepting and finally learning to ignore the bugs that no amount of prodding will ever change.

And take it from me, ST: Hot, considerate, caring, similarly libidinous, and shared long-term goals isn't a package that comes along every day. You could do a lot worse.

 

Straight rights watch: In 2010, Americans voted Republican hoping — despite 30 years of evidence to the contrary — that the GOP might know something about creating jobs. Surprise! Turns out that all the GOP knows how to do is wage war on American women. The GOP's attack on abortion morphed into an attack on Planned Parenthood, which morphed into an attack on access to contraception, which finally morphed into an attack on the 98 percent of American women who use or have used contraception. (Sluts and prostitutes, one and all, according to Rush Limbaugh.) The GOP's war on choice, contraception, cancer screenings and women won't end until the fuckers waging it are driven out of office.

Pissed off? Great! Do something about it.

Go find a pro-choice Democrat who's running for office against an anti-choice, anti-woman motherfucker and send that Dem a check or, if you live in his or her district, volunteer for that Democrat. Fight back!
