 <title>Do Tell: Have You Ever Had a Blind Date Go Bad?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2534819</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Blind dates can be really fun if you get set up by someone who knows you really well (dating your mailman&#039;s son may not be the best idea), but I know people who refuse because they&#039;ve had horrible experiences in the past. Maybe the guy was texting his ex-girlfriend while watching a movie with you, or perhaps he kept reaching over to your plate at dinner to help himself to your meal. To see a blind date start off on the wrong foot, watch this comical clip below.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;	&lt;div style=&#039;width:455px&#039; id=&quot;spi_tabs_container&quot;&gt;
	   &lt;div id=&quot;spi_tabs_top&quot;&gt;
		   &lt;div id=&quot;spi_tabs_topL&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		   &lt;div id=&quot;spi_tabs_topR&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
	   &lt;/div&gt;
	   &lt;div class=&quot;panel  chatter_chatter fbceleb &quot; &gt;
			   &lt;center&gt;	&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/static/js/swfobject.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
	&lt;p style=margin:0px;padding:0px id=&quot;player_2540344&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&quot;&gt;Get Flash&lt;/a&gt; to see this player.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
	var so2540344 = new SWFObject(&#039;/static/flash/mediaplayer.swf&#039;,&#039;mpl&#039;,&#039;400&#039;,&#039;300&#039;,&#039;7&#039;);
	so2540344.addParam(&#039;allowfullscreen&#039;,&#039;true&#039;);
	so2540344.addVariable(&quot;file&quot;,&#039;2540344.flv&#039;);
	so2540344.addVariable(&#039;height&#039;, 328);
	so2540344.addVariable(&#039;image&#039;,&#039;/media/cooked/thumbs/2540344.jpg&#039;);
	so2540344.addVariable(&#039;width&#039;,&#039;400&#039;);
	so2540344.addVariable(&#039;logo&#039;,&#039;/static/imgs/watermark/dearsugar.png&#039;);
	so2540344.write(&#039;player_2540344&#039;);
	&lt;/script&gt;		   &lt;/center&gt;
	   &lt;/div&gt;
	   &lt;div id=&quot;spi_tabs_bot&quot;&gt;
		   &lt;div id=&quot;spi_tabs_botL&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		   &lt;div id=&quot;spi_tabs_botR&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
	   &lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess the only thing worse than a blind date is an unexpected double blind date — Ha! Is your story worse than that? It may make you feel better to share it the comment section below. &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: What Pampering Treatment Would Please Your Pet?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2524554</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/10/104166/47_2008/dd3c2bca67e93d42_frenchiestonemassage.xlarger.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;image right xlarger&quot; width=&quot;275&quot; height=&quot;400&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;While I can&#039;t say North has ever had a stone massage like this lucky &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.petsugar.com/tags/smushed+faces&quot; &gt;smooshy&lt;/a&gt;, I bet he&#039;d love it. . . . if he sat still long enough, that is. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not as unusual as you may think, many shops will offer &quot;facials&quot; or &quot;puppasage&quot; – &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.petsugar.com/741009&quot; &gt;and remember that fancy jacuzzi?&lt;/a&gt; – for stressed pets. While my budget demands that I &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.petsugar.com/1015283&quot; &gt;do this myself&lt;/a&gt;, if money was no object, I&#039;d love to treat North to a &quot;pet relaxation session&quot; — what pampering would your dog or cat most love to receive?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: How Important Is Sex to You in a Relationship?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2506092</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/1/12981/47_2008/588ca043eccd7b36_sex.xlarger.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;center image xlarger&quot; height=&quot;296&quot; width=&quot;400&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When in a relationship, some people adore &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/tags/Sex&quot; &gt;sex&lt;/a&gt;. They think about it often, have it a lot, and are into trying new &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/1812777&quot; &gt;toys&lt;/a&gt;, positions, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/1716562&quot; &gt;places&lt;/a&gt; to make it better. Then there are other people in relationships who aren&#039;t that interested in getting it on. They rarely crave that kind of intimacy, and could have sex once a month (or less) and feel completely satisfied. So where do you fall in the spectrum? Is sex really important to you when you&#039;re in a relationship, or are there other ways you two prefer to celebrate your connection?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: When Do You Know You&#039;re in Love? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2521249</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/47_2008/d0728c5cf8ba0c5a_love.xlarge.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;left outline image xlarge&quot; width=&quot;253&quot; height=&quot;320&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Falling in love means something different to everyone, but it&#039;s usually a pretty overwhelming experience. Love can also be tricky though. I don&#039;t know about you, but I&#039;ve definitely &lt;i&gt;thought&lt;/i&gt; I was in love before, only to realize later down the road that it wasn&#039;t love at all! Since finding it doesn&#039;t happen all that often, do tell, when do you &lt;i&gt;know&lt;/i&gt; you&#039;re in love? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Vent About Your Pet-Related Holiday Dining Disasters!</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2514010</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/10/104166/47_2008/982ca43174e09c4f_dogandbabykitchen.preview.xxlarge.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;image right xxlarge&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; width=&quot;365&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Since North and I plan to celebrate &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.petsugar.com/tag/thanksgiving&quot; &gt;Thanksgiving&lt;/a&gt; with pals, I&#039;m hoping he keeps his nosy lil self out of trouble while I&#039;m baking. After all, he does believe in &quot;helping himself&quot; . . . even if that means conning my generous friends with his puppy dog eyes. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Luckily, he&#039;s too short to make it on top of the table to lick the turkey (true story from my childhood bestie), but I don&#039;t think his size limits the trouble he gets into. What&#039;s it like at your home? I want to hear all about those dining disasters I hope won&#039;t happen again this year . . . for your sake.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: What Embarrassing Sex Questions Do You Want Answered? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2499495</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/46_2008/14b1a9f3397b3a83_martini.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;left outline image xlarge&quot; width=&quot;313&quot; height=&quot;313&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;As we all know, sex can be an awkward topic to discuss, not only with our friends, but with our partners too. I&#039;ll even admit to being embarrassed when asking my doctor questions about sex! Though it might make you blush, getting the answers is extremely important — you never know what you might be missing! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you&#039;re like me and my girlfriends, sex almost always comes up in conversation, especially when a martini&#039;s involved, but sometimes we&#039;re still too bashful to ask what&#039;s really on our minds. If you&#039;re the same way, tell me ladies, what are the embarrassing sex questions you want answers to?&lt;br /&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Do You Own Any Breed Tchotchkes?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2469541</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I don&#039;t consider myself to be an impulse buyer, but when wrapping up a business trip in Florida a couple years back, I spotted a whole kennel full of dog figurines at a gas station. This lil guy cost $6 and I couldn&#039;t resist!&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/10/104166/46_2008/7de2fda277bea3a7_northandstatue1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;image preview&quot; width=&quot;550&quot; height=&quot;354&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Even though his ears are rounder than I like to see in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.petsugar.com/2324450&quot; &gt;my dog&#039;s breed&lt;/a&gt; – the shop&#039;s version of a Frenchie was super chubby! – it totally made me giggle. &#039;Cause not only is he choosing to &quot;mark&quot; his territory, he&#039;s (ummmm) anatomically correct. Do you have any items that feature your favorite breed?&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/10/104166/46_2008/8536f9144b7fc772_figurine1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;image preview&quot; width=&quot;550&quot; height=&quot;191&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: How Did You Meet Your Significant Other? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2494033</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Most of you have &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/2365448&quot; &gt;been in at least one relationship before&lt;/a&gt;, which means you have a story that explains how you met! I always enjoy hearing how it all began — not only does it give me faith that it can happen to me too, but it gives a lot of insight into the couple and the individuals. Whether it was &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/2481742&quot; &gt;love at first sight&lt;/a&gt; or just a total fluke, do tell, how did you meet your significant other?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/46_2008/e7657fa8fcea5856_dating.xxlarge.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;image xxlarge&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;333&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Whether we&#039;re talking about looks, personality, or just great sex, chances are you&#039;ll never forget his name! Just for fun, do tell, what&#039;s the name of the hottest guy you&#039;ve ever dated? I&#039;ll start: Jason.&lt;/p&gt;

Personally, I&#039;ve started incorporating &quot;green&quot; toys into North&#039;s toy box and got some great, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.petsugar.com/1535628&quot; &gt;cleaning habits from Eco Dog&lt;/a&gt; (which has become one of my favorite books)! Plus, using &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.petsugar.com/1806598&quot; &gt;all-natural grooming products&lt;/a&gt; puts me at ease when North sneaks a lick of the bath time suds! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have you switched to any &quot;green&quot; products, or made any changes to you and your pet&#039;s lifestyle with the goal of being more eco-tastic? Share with us in the comments below! &lt;/p&gt;
