school is giving condoms to my 11 year olds!!

[>Charlotte<]

Please help me with what I can do..

You can ask the teacher if it's possible for your children to be excused from that class to study in the library. Please ask nicely.

As described in CreativeBlock earlier post "clinically excessive masturbation" would be a Paraphilia Not Otherwise Specified. However that category does not describe things in detail and so she used a different paraphila description as an example.

Yes, thank you. You explained it better than I.

I don't believe it was meant to say that those who want to teach kids to masturbate are pedophiles.

I was absolutely not implying that! Thank you for clarifying on my behalf.

As to the paint, I recommend enamel.

There, we will have to disagree. I happen to be a fan of semi-gloss.

Seconded. And the OP should bear in mind that the educator is likely not very happy about the assignment, either.

I think that while we can all agree that children need to learn about safe sex (the gist of the argument seems to be the where and the who), we can likely agree that no matter how "for it" we are, and how comfortable we might be teaching our own children, none or few of us would look forward to having the "talk" with a group of other people's children!

At least, I wouldn't.

Only at FA could you find a thread addressing condoms, masturbation, giraffe penii, lavender, fur, couches and interior design.

I don't know whether I'm in awe or really weirded out.

Be awed!


I'm giving credit to Charlotte for opening the door to the interior design aspect of the conversation. She's .

I need to not be under the influence of nyquil when trying to follow this thread then. Because I got lost. Anyone have a map?

If you mean cool, incognito, or a blind blues piano player, I am really none of the three. But thank you.

CreativeBlock again comes to the rescue:

This debate has covered the gamut from condom-distribution being a matter of government assistance (in a manner of speaking) vs government intrusion, to encouraging criminal acts to acting in the public good, to evolution vs creationism, to a debate over masturbation leading to an obsession with touching one's no-no spot.

Of course, we can now add interior decorating and the variations available of purple. Sadly, I am on the right of the chart and cannot appreciate the difference between aubergine and lavender.

I heard this thread was supposed to be a discussion on Inherit the Wind. I can't believe I just read 7 pages of this uh, stuff, for nothing. Guess I'll just go hand start the ole' yogurt thrower instead.

Be sure to thank a teacher for your mad skilz.

I'm planning a mostly do-it-myself renovation of the upstairs bathroom of the house we are settling on next week, anyone have any advice?

Ugh, I just recently redid the counter tops of my kitchen. Here's my personal advice...RUN!

I'm hoping it will be fairly simple and will hire a pro for the plumbing part...I got laid off though and I am going to need something to occupy my time for a while!

If there's anything you're nervous about doing, YouTube has some great how-to videos.

Yeah I've been watching a TON of DIY and HGTV, it's the most exciting thing about becoming a homeowner, getting to redecorate!

I'm really sorry to hear you've been laid off...

...but IT IS AWESOME to renovate!

You're right to hire a plumber. Maybe an electrician? At least to check your work before you cover it up with $money$, I mean, drywall and paint/tile/stuff.

Will there be any purple involved?
