You guys... I have a Chihuahua mix named Beanie but we call him Bean (or Beanjamin when he’s sassy)

Oh yeah, had crazy dreams and horrible sleep when I’d leave mine on at night. You’ll find what works and the right time to try someday!

Totally, and it’s great that you’ve stopped smoking the cigs. I recommend the patches to everyone, it’s crazy how well they worked

But our dog just has a strong gender preference, not a burning rage against all men like Prancer.

My dog barks and postures for a while when we have male friends/family over. But he is sweet and loving to our recently transitioned friend.

It’s too polished, all of the accounts are too polished. I’ve been diagnosing this disorder for a long time. I haven’t met a fashionista yet

We’re both going to believe what we want, and we have the exact same amount of information to go off. So you do you, boo.

No one is saying it is. But wouldn’t it disappoint you if people who didn’t have those diagnoses used them to curry favor on social media?

A Wrangler sure looks a helluva lot cooler than my lil baby-bitch Yaris hatchback. Worth the extra gas $ IMHO

Yup, drove to Chicago from KS in a snow storm, 10 hr drive and $80 round-trip in my fuel efficient car.

Jesus Christ, dude. The only “defect” here is your fucked up perspective. I’ve got good news, you can “fix” that.
