Any known mental illness is cause for avoidance. I actually ask early on what types of prescriptions people take on a daily basis.

And I would tell you I take 40 milligrams of none of your business. And then if you had a problem with that, I'd tell you I take 60 milligrams of go to hell. Because it is none of your business. I feel like if I'm in the early stuages of dating someone, it's none of their business if I take prescriptions or not. If I felt someone was asking for the purpose of screening me, I would tell them to go pound sand. And that's the nicest way I would say it. I also feel it's none of your business what my credit report is, unless we start getting serious or perhaps move in together or maybe not even until we're talking about the possibility of becoming married.

Oh, the standard pushing the level of absurdity, of course.


Bold played Rev Fest this weekend. I need to make it to one of those.

It's actually hilarious. This is the same poster that claimed to have expensive taste in jewelry and wouldn't accept a cheap ring. Now they want access to credit reports and demand no debt.

I was there! My soon to be wife has family in Southern California, so I figured we'd go that week, so I could attend the event. Saw Youth Of Today, Into Another, Burn, Judge and Gorilla Biscuits too!

Meh. I messed up the quotes. That's the second time I've done that already because I'm posting on my phone and why I usually don't post on it.

Oh nice, I heard the YOT set was excellent.


Heard Into Another was spot on too. I haven't seen them since Tony died/they reformed.


I loved the CIV florida style jerseys that were being sold.


I'd totally just go ape on the special edition covers... haha.

It's less about them asking than you being honest and open about YOUR issues.
The things that YOU KNOW would be of concern to anyone considering getting involved with you.
Whatever your particular issues might be (and everyone has some issues).

The asking part comes when Jane continually avoids revealing her stuff to Dick...
and/or when what she did say is later shown to be less than accurate.

Nope. That's too late to learn or have the dirty laundry revealed.

Dating? Having sex and taking weekends at the beach? Okay.
But signing leases or changing addresses? Nope... not without more background.

Credit reports? A list of prescriptions? Boy, you sure do act entitled. How long after you start dating someone do you ask all this stuff? I have a credit score over 800 and am on no prescription drugs whatsoever. But I would take offense to anyone I was dating bringing this stuff up. Unless I have an illness that they need to know about, I won't tell them what drugs I'm on. But if it was stuff like cholesterol or blood pressure meds, I wouldn't hide that I'm on them either. And until we're buying a house together or something along those lines, I won't be showing them my credit report. I can see now why some people are single.

Dating, having sex, taking weekends at the beach, etc, is precisely my point here. The poster I was replying to seemed to indicate that she asks quite early on and it would seem during all that, if not on the first or second date.

And when I said moving in, of course I mean before the lease is signed and the actual move is made.

Having sex on the beach is a great second date. The only downside is the sand in the blanket and having to go to a Laundromat after, now that I bought a place I don't want that sand in my washing machine. #gettingold
