If you feel like that, then get tested. If you not a match, no biggie. If you is- oh well.
You made it seem like this was some random question from a random broad er something. If it's life or death to a close one, and you can, give it up. Unless of course you are unhealthy or foresee binge drinking in your future...

Would you rather get a speeding ticket or a ticket for talking on your cellphone????
Keep in mind a speeding ticket might cost you a hundred bucks or so and you may or may not get points and those cellphone tickets start out at $500.

Dealing With Porn Addiction

We offer some tips on dealing with porn addiction
Before the internet was ubiquitous in every aspect of our lives, porn addiction was for the creepy lifelong bachelor or the lonely guy with mommy issues. However, now that we depend on the World Wide Web for much of our information and entertainment, the condition is seeping into parts of the population previously unaffected. Seemingly normal men from all walks of life, including actor David Duchovny and an Australian preacher who faked having cancer to cover up a 16-year porn addiction, are claiming that pornography has taken over their lives.
Identifying an addict
While porn addiction is not yet listed in the DSM-IV as an official mental disorder like drug or gambling addictions, therapists are starting to take the condition seriously. The criteria for determining whether or not a patient is addicted to porn are much the same as the ones used to identify other addictions, revolving mainly around the dependence on pornography at the expense of other aspects of life. If viewing, reading, watching or thinking about pornography is interfering with your work, your relationship, your family life or your social interactions, it is a problem. Some porn addicts cannot perform sexually without the stimulation of pornography. Porn addiction may be a part of a more extensive sex addiction.
Availability and early starts
It is now easier to get your hands on porn than ever before. A man doesn’t even have to work up the nerve to walk into an adult video store anymore, but can instead in the privacy of his own home simply download to his heart’s content a dizzying array of pornographic content. The internet is definitely the main culprit behind the explosion of porn addiction. A study published in the journal Pediatrics stated that 42% of internet users aged 10 to 17 have been exposed to pornography. By the time these children reach adulthood, pornography can be a pervasive part of their lives and, for some, this can lead to serious problems, such as porn addiction.
Tolerance build-up
Like an alcoholic needs increasingly larger amounts of alcohol as his tolerance builds up, so will a porn addict need more extreme, unusual or deviant forms of pornography as his addiction develops. Some experts believe that viewing this material can lead to enacting unhealthy fantasies in real life. It is possible that deviant sexual behavior could be inspired by pornographic content. However, in the majority of cases, porn addiction remains an intensely private condition that does not extend to sexual interaction with others. It will, however, likely interfere with healthy sexual experiences of any kind.
The group dynamic
Support groups and 12-step programs for recovering pornography addicts are popping up all over the internet. As illogical as it might seem to turn to the net for help with a problem that most likely started there, many addicts have found comfort and healing through sharing their stories and talking to others with the same condition.
Dealing with sex addiction doesn't have to be hard, and you don't have to do it alone...
Page 2: Porn Addiction
Not unsurprisingly, the majority of groups created to help porn addicts in recovery are religious in nature. Most organized religions take a general disapproving stance on any sexual activity not related to making babies between two married, consenting adults, so it’s not hard to see why the church would have an interest in healing those addicted to pornography. For a religious person, this approach may work, but for someone who is confused and struggling with his sexuality, the guilt piled on by religious support groups may not be helpful at all when dealing with porn addiction.
Therapy
The best way to deal with any kind of addiction is to seek the help of a qualified therapist. Neither sex addiction nor porn addiction is considered an official mental disorder, but they are compulsions that can have serious effects on one’s sexuality and can be detrimental to social functioning. Any decent therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist will recognize this and be able to provide you with tools to reduce your dependency on pornography.
Filtering temptation
There is a variety of software available that can filter out certain content from the internet before it gets to your computer. These filters are usually used to prevent explicit content, including pornography, from reaching the innocent eyes of children, but they can have applications for the porn addict too. Of course, it’s easy to disable your own filters, but simply having them in place may provide enough of a deterrent when you’re craving a porn fix. There is also keylogger software that will track every move you make on the internet and even accountability software that will not only track your internet activity, but will also send a weekly report to your “accountability partner” to keep them up to speed on the sites you’re visiting.
put away the porn
For most of us, viewing pornography is an occasional guilty pleasure. But for those who are driven to use porn constantly, it can represent a genuine mental, emotional and physical trap. With a combination of therapy, internet filters, affirmations, accountability, and research, it can be overcome.
^^^^^ Is that your way of asking for help? Or is it an attempt to explain your way out of something? 
Life isn't fair, that's why bras come in different sizes.....

Simple. I just posted a long article so I could post my new Colin Powell gif below it.
^^^^ damn talk about taking the long way home...
the bigger the better...
most people just make mashed potatoes with it.
The person that created meatloaf needs to be shot. That worst tasting product in the world. I dont care if you put ketchup or gravy on it.
I love turkey meatloaf.. I usually bake it in a muffin tin for portion control and you can freeze the remain muffins, it also cuts the time down considerably.
I would suggest mash potatoes and a vegetable of your choice. I usually make orgnaic mac-n-cheese along with corn on the cob or mixed vegetables.
How about doing some summer squash with garlic, onions and other veggies cut up with it? That, mashed potatoes, and maybe some corn too...
Roasted squash can be that SHIT, especially if you add JUST the right amount of pepper, onions and garlic to it...
While I'm at it, how about some roasted asparagus spears too?
Jo, I'm an amateur at this cooking thing, that stuff you suggested may be WAY too advanced for me
It's really not too advanced...
For the squash, just buy a few yellow squash...cut it up into slices, cut up fresh onion and used minced garlic and ground pepper. Put into microwaveable bowl, and zap it covered. It will steam itself and....voila! SQUASH!
For the asparagus, just buy some spears, wash them, and lay them out on foil (as in the picture)...throw some pepper over them, maybe cut up some onions (again), maybe a lil paprika too...roast them in the oven, and they'll be good to go!
you mean Jazmine Sullivan, Sean?
Yeah, I'd give her the business. And she's a Philly chick, which makes me dig her even more. I miss those sassy broads
Yeah her. The one that sang that bears and tigers and antelopes song.
I liked the flow of the song but in the video she seemed to be suffering a lot while singing it.
Like, after watching the video I'm like tired, stressed and short of breath for some reason.
She's still very good looking. Very pretty eyes. I like women with pretty eyes.
I just ate a bow-tie donut.
Delicious.
My aunt cooked some yam and stew for me today.
