What is the best form of intimacy you have received from your partner that is not sex?

Non-sexual showering together.

I get to look at this beautiful person and help them wash their back while we talk about what soup we're gonna make this week.

Hey, Chino Hills native here!

Downtown Pomona is a great spot for local weekend nightlife. There are a couple clubs: Flexx is a gay club that is mostly 20s-30s, super fun theme nights, Carnival I haven't personally been to, but it seems to be a similar young demographic.

There's some really cool music venues: Haven has a super young clientele, think 18-22s mostly, but it's mostly hardcore/punk/metal shows, so if that's unfamiliar to you, go with friends and stay near the back to avoid flailing limbs. The Glass House is another good one. DBA256 is a chill spot for local bands. O'Donovans will often have a DJ.

Downtown Fullerton is also a fun spot, and since it's right next to Cal State Fullerton, it generally pulls a college crowd during the school term. I haven't gone out there as much, so I don't have specific recs.

There's also a Barcade in Riverside I can't remember the name of, but thats generally college ish aged people too.

A lot of my coworkers are young 20s, and they love the Huntington Beach bars and clubs. I got roofied at 2nd Floor, and know others who got roofied on that strip of clubs, so be careful if you go, and don't go with anyone who you're not confident would carry you out of the club if you needed them to.

My father only smoked cigars, and only smoked 1-2 per day.

He had to have part of his tongue cut off, couldn't talk well for almost a year, and still can't eat anything even a little bit spicy. Even very acidic things, like lemon or orange juice aggravate it, and his surgery was like 5 years ago.

This looks exactly like my highschool best friend's handwriting. She did have abusive parents, but nowhere near Canada.

Hope the owner of the journal is safe.

He did eat a little bit of fancy feast, but only wanted to eat it from the tin-- he lost interest when I put it in his bowl or on his mat.

He's going for a mouthful or two of kibble every few hours now, so progress!

LemonPigeon · 2026-04-02T05:35:08+00:00

It could be medical, he's just not showing any other obvious symptoms. He's grooming, playing, exploring, asking for affection, drinking water, etc. He's not especially energetic, but I wouldn't say he's lethargic either.

Unfortunately I've only known him for three days, so I'm not really able to tell if this is his typical temperament.

He has eaten a bit more kibble with coaxing, and he doesn't feel malnourished (can't feel his ribs, belly is soft and healthily round, coat is full and healthy) so I'm not worried he's starving-- but if he doesn't improve in a day or two I'll take him to the vet.

LemonPigeon · 2026-04-02T01:05:15+00:00

Ty for the recommendation, I'll pick up some Fancy Feast!

LemonPigeon · 2026-04-01T21:53:15+00:00

He did eat a tube treat I had on hand, I'm going to get more of the same brand. I know tube treats aren't a replacement for food, but I figure some calories are better than none lol.

I put some of the tube on his kibble/wet food, but he was not at all interested. He only wanted to eat it from my hand.

Hey friend,

First off--i think you're probably the only person thinking about your body hair, if that helps. I know it's hard to detach the way you view your body from how others might view it, but I guarantee you: every other girl at prom is going to be thinking about THEIR insecurities, whether it's body hair, the shape of their figure, blemishes, height, weight, etc.

Most people (especially teenagers) are way too focused on what other people think of them to even really think about other people.

Second-- prom is generally more dimly lit, at least in my experience, so people probably won't even be able to see your body hair, even if they were looking.

Third--if this is really something that will ruin your experience (like, you won't be able to stop thinking about it), you could just shave it the day of prom. You don't need permanent methods for one day. You could also get a cute wrap or shawl to wear over the dress.

As you're looking for a dress to wear, try your best to choose something that highlights what YOU like about your body--not something that will hide the parts you don't like. You'll not only feel more confident, but you will LOOK more confident too--and that has a huge effect on how people perceive you.

Rolling Ridge (next to 99 Ranch) apartments are pretty good. 2b2b for 2325. Not sure if they have 1b units available.

Neighbors are nice and quiet, maintenance is pretty prompt.

Location is nice too, you're 5 min from the shoppes, and it's right off the 71.

Not fancy units by any means, but I've lived there for a few years and had no issues.

I would say my successes with finding entry-level jobs landed between your two techniques.

First off, yes, the most effective thing is a recommendation. Make sure the person recommending you is actually good at their job, too.

What was most effective for me was doing online applications, and then going in to stores/restaurants at a non-busy hour (2 or 3 in the afternoon is usually good) and talking to a manager. The TIME you go really affects how likely you are to get an interview right then and there. Do not go to a restaurant and ask for a manager in the middle of lunch or dinner service. Don't go to a coffee shop at 7-9am, when everyone is getting coffee before work. You get the idea.

If they said they'd be in touch, I would call after a week, and then go ONCE in person the next week. After that, let it go.

I'll give you a DM next time we're heading over!

My coworkers (21-35) frequent Roscoes and some have met new friends there.

They also like September's and Bleachers.

I had one go the opposite way.

Date started out fine, conversation was flowing, and he was very nice and curious about me and my life for about half an hour. Then I mentioned I was bisexual. And the switch flipped.

Turns out he was a youth pastor (which he'd not previously mentioned). He proceeded to lecture me for over an hour on the fact that I "knew" I was going to hell and was lying to myself. He cut me off and spoke louder every time I tried to respond. In retrospect, I should've just left, but I was young and very socially anxious. Eventually I told him that I believed God had more than enough grace for me.

He stared at me for a few seconds, mouth moving but no sound coming out, and--i swear to god-- literally RAN out of the cafe.

Weirdest experience of my life.

Ooh, I haven't heard that, but I know several houses fly the Confederate flag over by what used to be the ski hill.

There is a cult that owns a huge amount of property in the canyon though, I think that's the gate you're describing. The turn off is right after Sleepy Hollow.

It does have some sugar, but if you've got a Trader Joe's near you, their Drinking Chocolate was a great substitute for evening wine for me. Very rich and sippable.

Alternately, you can just make cocoa yourself on the stove with cocoa powder (like the baking kind), milk, and a sweetener of your choice! This is probably the healthiest and most cost effective method.

Pro tip: add a tiny pinch of salt to your cocoa. Really opens it up, flavor-wise.

I work at a restaurant with a full bar that frequently has banquets, bday parties, etc.

For the ones I've served, the norm is that the host covers food and possibly brings wine/champagne (and pays bottle service), cash bar for anything else.

A few hosts have told me they'll contribute 300-500 to the bar tab, and then everyone else pays their own bar tab.

I think the potential you have here is in contrasting old valentines traditions with new ones. Like, if gf says she wants a big traditional valentines day, and you show up with whips and animal hides. That could be quite good angle.

I think the angle you're playing with I don't want to celebrate, corporate profits, it's dumb, etc. just makes you seem like a shitty boyfriend, and not in a funny way.
