I doubt it. But there's just no such thing as consensual at that age, no matter how much the 15-year-old might have wished there were. I wonder how many months away he was from his 16th birthday?

Yeah, I don't want to get into that sort of questioning.
The fact it was discovered by a parent.
(My niece and all that...)

Always comes down harder on male-male interactions.

But given the reaction of the judge that heard the whole trial I'm assuming it was a genuine case of abuse.

Well if it was, that's awful and he deserves the jail time. Sorry that your coworker might be caught in any crossfire, though.

Cold sores. Plural.
Woke up this morning feeling like my lip was a birthing sac for some bloated poisonous insect, which was trying to scratch a hole to be born through.

Oh sorry, I mean a "tingling sensation".

I have at least three separate cold sores. There may be more.
My lip is throbbing savagely, and feels as if it's swollen to bad-implant proportions. Of course when I look in the mirror it looks normal size, but I am not fooled.

This will end up being a holy mess when it all erupts.
Nice to know I have something to look forward to.

bummer, sundae. what triggers the outbreaks, have you any idea?

HungLikeJesus · 04-30-2011, 10:14 AM

I think they are spread through the Cellar. I had one when I went on the big boat a few weeks ago.

Upset is the wrong word, stressing me out is more like it...

I have my interview today. I have "test anxiety", I get progressively more stressed out as the moment of truth approaches. Then there comes a time when I just relax when I realize I'm as prepared as I'm going to be. Then the test, the interview, the date, the delivery, etc.

Right now, it's just moving straight upward.

Wish me luck please.

You don't need luck - you've worked hard and you have everything you need to do well.

plthijinx · 05-04-2011, 01:00 PM

and sundae: get a prescription for zovirax cream. it clears up cold sores quickly. soon as you feel the tingle just start applying it.

SamIam · 05-05-2011, 02:20 AM

Best wishes and much mojo coming your way, V. You'll do great - I just know it!

Shameful shit on the Cellar yesterday.

I don't care how great a person merc is deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep down.

We lost another bastion of viewpoints from someone who also has been in positions to know a little bit about the political process. Remember Redux. Will jill meet the same fate? Will constant badgering, calling her fat, a bitch, so that she defends herself, result in a pass for merc and a ban on jill?

Stay tuned for scenes from the next Peyton Cellar.

Really, even a blind hog finds an acorn from time to time. But he's a great guy.

I think he needs medication. This is cyclic. May be a case of physician, heal thyself. I can't see why Jill would get banned. But I guess you're saying there was no reason for Redux to be banned either.

I think we can all see what a twonk he's being, and many have said so. I don't see that he is getting a pass -except maybe from one poster.

I think/hope Jill is strong enough to stay and learn to ignore him when he need ignoring and keep slapping him down when he needs it, if she can be bothered.
