Fantastically bad...

but for some reason - I'm loving it!

I have a friend who is seeing multiple people. (This friend shall FOREVER remain nameless so don't even ask)

I don't think that there is anything wrong with seeing a few people at a time. It's good to keep your options open. It can help you discover what it is you really want out of a mate. As long as you are careful and honest with the people you date and with yourself I think it's healthy to date around.

This friend, who I will call "R", is seeing multiple people, some believe that they are involved in an exclusive arrangement, some in a strictly booty-call situation - so unfortunately, this is not an honest scenario... but R's gotta do what R's gotta do - who am I to judge?

What's fantastically bad is the toothbrush situation.

R shuffles the suitors through the apartment offering them each a toothbrush in the morning. R has repeat visitors and everyone has a toothbrush. How does R keep track of who's toothbrush is who's - making sure that those that don't realize they are not the only one don't find other toothbrushes hanging around? Well, in this case it has been easy.

They have all been using the same toothbrush for a month now.

I don't know why I find this so funny. I guess I never thought about it before.

I've thought about the condom issue - W thinks there are 6 condoms left in the pack, G, 7 so you have to have either 2 separate boxes hidden in different drawers, or a 3rd box elsewhere for replenishing - but that could be complicated - 'cause then you have to find a place to hide the tally list and that would be a really bad thing for someone to stumble across...

I suggested a fish bowl filled with condoms - anyone who would take the time to count shouldn't really be there in the first place.

But the toothbrush situation has been a shock to my system - not that I have any toothbrushes out in the world right now - just a sonicare charging in my kitchen, but you better believe I'm gonna spend the dollar necessary to purchase the emergency travel toothbrush for my purse that Cosmo's been urging me to buy for some time now.

I suggest you all do the same. Good oral hygiene is very important.

Be prepared.
