Someone broke up with me, after a year and half, in an email and would not talk to me after that. One of the most devastating moments of my life. Please give him the opportunity to ask questions and to understand your reasons.

But it seems to detract from the brand of DCUM as a family site, if that has any revenue value. I guess DCUM in general was always not really family friendly at heart, however!

This is so funny! Are you serious? It "detracts from the brand of dcum as a family site"??? Awesomeness.

I have to say that the fact that the list owners include the explicit forum on their "family site" gives me a great deal of respect for them. I also love the fact that Jeff refused to let google kill the explicit forum when they went after it. As far as I can tell, Jeff and Maria are giving parents a chance to discuss the things that they want to talk about in the way that they choose to discuss them. For the most part they don't control the discussions that they allow on their forum unless it becomes severely ugly and pointless. I have a great deal of respect for that approach.

The explicit forum is fun and silly and most of the time it is pretty friendly over there. You respectable "off-topic" people need to lighten up. Some sexy, fun discussions would be really good for you! Maybe post a picture of your panties instead of getting them all in a twist

Do they have oysters for the person in the group who loves oysters? Mussel bar has a special oyster menu. I like the mussels at Mussel Bar I think there are better places. I don't think they have a kids menu but they do have pizzas and fries.

Well, good! Maybe they will be inspired to post. We need more sexy women over there.

I make this recipe all the time! It's really great. Sadly, the OP said she only had skinless thighs.

OP--you can always chop up the thighs and use them in a stir fry.

I tried this recipe once and ended up with a smokey greasy mess. What did I do wrong?

I make these all the time though I have not tried this specific recipe. I am not sure why you had a smoky mess but if they were greasy, you probably did not render the fat in the skin until it was crisp enough. Do not turn them until the skin is brown and it feels hard and crisp when you touch it with a metal spatula. The recipe says this will take 2 minutes on each side but it will take longer than that and your pan needs to be very hot but not smoking. If you see smoke rather than steam, turn the flame down.

These are very good:

I also like to make stew and serve it over rice or noodles. It's sautéed onions, carrots, garlic, celery, some cumin and a little coriander, possibly pepper flakes, some white wine cooked down before you add the rest of the liquid which is usually chicken broth if I have it. I also brown the thighs before adding them to the broth and then I add some potatoes and frozen peas. At the end, I might thicken with a little heavy cream or not. I might also add some Louisiana hot sauce. My kids love this.

I was there recently and thought it went downhill but it was never really that great.

I used to like artistic or musical hipster, pretty boys. Now I can't imagine why I cared about those things.

Now it"s: smart, interesting, engaging and engaged, a good listener, emotionally honest, great in bed. He can't be too out of shape but a little bit can be overlooked. A big part of being attracted to someone is about how he reacts to me. At this point in my life, I am not interested in someone who plays games. If he plays hard to get, I will lose interest very quickly.
