Sue has always liked animals more than people. And horses the most of all animals.
Her horses helped her get through a particularly tough time when she was working, studying, and living with her husband for a year after they'd separated.
If you love horses, this is definitely the episode for you. And if you don't - well, this might just convert you.
Show notes
Thank you to Sue, for having me out at her property to meet her horses. You can find photos of them here on the blog. And a huge thank you to Doug, her ex-husband, for introducing me to Sue!

Chery and Glen were in their 20s and in love. They thought they had their whole life ahead of them and that it would take the trajectory of any other ordinary life. But then illness struck, and it changed all their plans.
Chery reflects on the hell of a ride they’ve been on. It’s been a bumpy road, but at least they’ve had each other.

UnrulyNerdGirl is 44, Canadian, and a little boy bear. She’s also a domestic service submissive. These identities have, understandably, made dating and relationships rather difficult.
Here, UNG helps to demystify age play, and she gives us a peek into her play closet.

We’re back for 2019! Thanks for your patience, everyone :)

It would not be an overstatement to call the story of Gaby and Kon’s relationship an epic. Theirs is a tale of young love, family conflict, a separation and reunion - and more besides. Cultural difference and similarity are the constants in their story, which they tell here.

+ This is the last episode for the year! Apologies for the late delivery. Take a look here to see why it took so long!
+ This episode, as with all episodes, was written, edited, produced by me, Evana Ho. A big thanks goes to my friend Kimmo (KV Productions) for some last minute noise reduction assistance!

One day, while browsing Craigslist's 'Personals' section, I came across a post titled 'Ugly female seeking handsome male'. I contacted the author, and this is her story.
Show notes:
+ Olivia's 'Ugly female seeking handsome male' post on Craigslist, plus the last one of hers I saw.

Nipuni Wijewickrema is a person who invites strong (positive) adjectives. She is high energy, constantly on the go, and street smart, with an almost unwavering optimism. The young social entrepreneur rose to local celebrity-dom through GG's Flowers, the florist she co-founded with her stepmother when she was just 20 years old. It's premise: to provide meaningful employment opportunities for people with special needs, starting with her sister Gayana, who has Down syndrome.
