Sweet fancy Moses - would the passenger who is eating the bulb or so of garlic each morning and boards the 7:30 a.m. #14 to St. Mary's, please have mercy!!! I jumped off the bus and waited for another one, late or not. Vile. —Not Anne Rice

Plan B for feelings
I would have gulped them in fistfuls

quiet and unrequited
you look for greener pastures
and greener still

always did like a man who couldn't love me
always did admire the way your face looked above me
never did expect to win

friends first sure
but cracks become empty space
and you got a lot of cracks to fill

Why are all young men starting to look the same in HRM? Seriously. Hipster culture is almost as mainstream as Apple gear. A beard! A vintage haircut! OMG. So original.

Try being yourselves for once, it's sexier.

I found out the other day from a credible and trusted source of mine that the last girl I dated dumped me because of the size of my penis. We didn't sleep together, but at a pub after we both got buzzed, we made out and she got a good feel of my hard penis (I was so turned on, I couldn't help it) through my pants. She stayed for about 20 more minutes, then said it was getting late and left. I never heard from her again. Up until a few days ago I didn't know what the fuck was up because we had such a good time, until my good friend who works with her (that's how I met her) overheard her on the phone with her friend, likely, at her cubicle complaining about the size of the penis, distinctively said "What the fuck am I supposed to do with THAT??!", laughing!! We both knew she was talking about me because it's unfortunately true, I do have a really small penis. It's barely 2 1/2 inches, head included, and the girth is about the same as the average big toe in circumference, when hard. Yes, thanks a lot, Dad or any other older relative of mine, for passing on the small dick gene to me, I'm veeerrryy popular with the ladies! This has happened to me before. One time a girl gave me head (I didn't sleep with her either), she left shortly after and I never heard from her again. I've slept with many women in my 29 years of life, but only 1-3 times with each one. But with the amount of women I slept with, there were three times as many women I dated (but didn't fuck) who fooled around with me and then mysteriously disappeared. Why do you women need a large penis? It's not the size, but how you work it! I'm good in bed, I've made women orgasm from oral sex, I know how to fuck. But no, that's not good enough for them! — Mr. Baby Dick

I can't believe how many people here who use this place have been affected by Clinical Depression in one way or another. We have to hide so much. Sure... go ahead and say to an employer or prospective employer "Oh... by the way... I take medication in hopes of keeping my clinical depression in check." even when you go to the ER for something and they ask "any medications?"... you say "yes... Zoloft 200 mg a day." and their manner suddenly changes. Try to start a new relationship... when you spend more time together and they ask "What is that pill you take every morning?"... "Oh... that... well I have been diagnosed with depression and my psychiatrist says if I don't take the medication I may have another episode." See ya later! Or you have to get very good at dodging certain questions. I would say the margin of positivity is very slim and odds are stacked against all of us who have this... in all aspects of our live. Mental Illness hurts. The stigma is too great. —Question Dodger

First off, while I don't live in Halifax anymore, I'm not far away and I'd imagine a lot of people in the HRM have the same problem.

During this week's two storms, I was unable to use the sidewalks in my town because guess what? They weren't plowed!!!

Now I'm a pretty easygoing person and I understand that snow removal budgets are becoming depleted but what really gets under my skin is the utter lack of respect and understanding drivers have for pedestrians like myself who have to walk on extreme side of the road.

The other day in the twenty minutes it took me to walk to work, I was yelled at twice, flipped off once, and one kind gentlemen had the nerve to nearly hit me while yelling at me and flipping me off.

So I ask all drivers, before being an asshole please realize I'm not enjoying this anymore than you are.

I have heard of a store credit if you have fully purchased an item but I have never heard of a store credit if you have an item on Layaway. Prom season is upcoming and I went to this particular store to look for a prom dress for my daughter. Being a single mother and all I want to give my daughter the best, so we decided to put this $900.00 dress on layaway, but with the intent to look around more and the ladies told us that we have until 1 Apr to decide on the dress. So I out $200.00 down on the dress. We then kept looking and found "the dress" at another location. Much cheaper then the other one. So i called the first place to let them know that we no longer wanted that $900.00 dress and that I would be down to collect my $200.00 that I put on the dress to, what I thought, hold the dress. They told me that they do not give refunds and that I would be given a "credit Note" to the store in the amount that I put down. I asked to speak the manager and she was not the nicest person to talk to and was not willing to budge one bit. I explained that the main reason why I went there was to purchase a prom dress and nothing else, so why would I want a credit to that store? Again, "this is our policy" was the answer. I have no issue with paying a restocking fee of $50.00 but I would really like to have the remainder of the money to put on my daughters gradutation dress. Isn't the whole purpose of their business is to have the customer happy and for them to continue to shop at their locations?

So now it is my job to try to exchange this credit note for actual money.

To the new fast food joint; your customer service is really lame. I went with my reusable mug to try some of your coffee which was free for your promotion. First, I experienced attitude, for I guess just ordering a free item, second, my mug had a bit of old coffee in the bottom and when I asked it be rinsed the answer was no, that it was against policy. Fine, but then the server just stared at me like an idiot instead of offering me a cup of coffee in a restaurant cup. She just let me walk away feeling embarrassed and annoyed. I hate you fast food place. —worker

If you want me to let myself care again then get a little backbone.....line-ups are't attractive to most people who are worth spending time with...….

It is bad enough that I have to type in a login and password on your website every few days because your 'remember my password' feature gets reset.

Now I have to type in some crazy arse captcha code to prove that I'm not a computer.

Your website is entertainment. I don't have to be there.
