Please feel free to ask questions and if I know the answer I will tell you, also feel free to answer others questions!

My stupid question is

Would I be able to see nits in my sons very short hair if he had them? (He has short brown hair)?

I only eat choc just before I come on, can't stand the stuff any other time.

Homosexual sex is the same as heterosexual sex. You have preferences, you share them with your partner by talking and/or showing them what you like. Some are compatible, some aren't. I have gay friends who bottom and gay friends who top and gay friends who do both.

It's not known why we dream. Or yawn. Or have random itches. Or hiccups. There are theories but nobody's worked it out yet. It's just random synaptic firing in your brain and you organise it into images/meaningful stories.

And your dad sounds lovely btw Smile

Thanks mooface I do sometimes worry that it'll be a case of "we missed out as children" but as you say it's the time as an adult that will be less.

Our old collie dog had dreams, he would yelp, growl & whimper Smile.

Ive always wondered if you can catch pubic lice from hotel bedding ( as friends very xh claimed he had!)

Why are we scared of things like spiders, worms and thunder? I no some come from bad experiences but my sister collected worms when she was younger but now shes a grownd up shes says she scared off them Confused

Is it normal to get in such bad tempers with DH that you consider leaving him (just for a few minutes at a time)

and then have much better make-up sex Blush

i remember Dr Christian (of embarrassing bodies fam)e saying once that our periods do have an effect on our digestive system. i cant remember exactly what he said but he mentioned when in our cycles we were more likely to experience 'what' IYSWIM

Allthingspretty, my dog must dream (and they always seem quite nice dreams) as he's always making his happy yelp "hello" noise and twitching in his sleep like he's running.

My PMT symptoms include terrible wind and lots of chocolate eating, though actually every day involves a lot of chocolate eating so I don't blame the chocolate!

I also get very thirsty in the days before my period starts, and terrible memory and hot flushes and very clumsy!

Do dogs dream?

NeoMaxiZoomDweebie · 02/06/2013 18:34

Fellatio not all gay male couples have anal sex. Some do...those that do don't always stick to only one being the "giver" but swap....others stick to one role each.

It's always different. Grin I was told this by a gay male friend.

crazydrunkevilhamster · 02/06/2013 18:34

marking place will probably think of something later

foslady · 02/06/2013 18:33

Mine always seems worse (Oh good grief - can'r believe I'm admitting this.......BlushBlush!!!

mooface · 02/06/2013 18:32

Alisvolatpropiis, my Dad was 40 when I was born. He was a very active middle-aged man though, always taking us bike-riding, climbing etc.

I don't think I missed out on anything as a kid...but now he's getting on near 70 I do wish I had more time left with him :(

mooface · 02/06/2013 18:30

Lol foslady I think wind happens with PMT regardless of chocolate consumption Grin

mooface · 02/06/2013 18:30

I think men's diets are generally worse than women's, fewer veg and more processed foods etc, so it comes out all minging.

foslady · 02/06/2013 18:29

Does every woman crave chocolate when their due on........and does any one else end up with horrendous wind because of it Blush

Alisvolatpropiis · 02/06/2013 18:26

Maat you can but ask! If you have any luck let me know and I'll get in touch with them too! Grin

Is men's poo different from women's poo?

It alway seems smellier and messier to me. (judging only from using toilets after men, not actually looking at it close up, I'm not Gillian Mckeith)

Is it down to testosterone or something?

Seedless oranges and grape varieties' - the seedless plants are grafted onto host plants and still grow & produce seedless fruit.
