1. I was honestly thinking about posting earlier

That I think the worst fate that could happen to Trump would to be put into an insane asylum. Not a current one, but old school where there were lobotomies and shock therapy. Not nice I know. And this is of course atrocious. My wife and I were talking about this the other day. She has been having some longer than normal periods and already has serious issues with that. She went to the emergency room for it and they basically dismissed her saying they could do nothing. Back in the day, they could have admitted her for hysteria. So disturbing.

3. Is your wife middle aged?

I'm asking re: the longer than normal.

That whole longer than normal during 'middle age' really sucked. I stopped it as soon as I realized what was happening, but it took some effort (I did it naturally).

But......omg. Yuck.

4. She is 36. So maybe?

I don't know. But she has pcos and endometriosis so it just sucks all around.

2. What qualifies as "deranged" masturbation?

Asking for a friend.

5. The one I like - which would have everyone on DU in a padded cell-

"political excitement"

6. Masturbation & Syphilis?

See you later. Nice knowing you.

7. Novel reading?

And that's only one of several that apply to me.

I've always managed to stay on my horse in battle, though. There is that in my favour.

8. Bad habits and political excitement

Guilty as charged!

10. How does this work:

admitted for masturbating. Also could be admitted for suppressing masturbating.

Also puzzling: admitted for imprisonment???? lock someone up for being locked up??

So many of these are directed at women which means there was much opportunity for abuse by a husband or other family member.

11. Business Nerves? Congestion of Brain? Seduction & Disappointment?

12. You could lock someone up for just about anything.

Especially women.
