This is my worry as well. I was on Alesse for a couple of years, after switching from pill to pill because of horrific side effects from hormone levels. I think I was moved onto another low-dose pill after Alesse, and started having break-through bleeding, which my GYN explained was a symptom of hormone levels not…

ALSO, people still think that IUD's abort babies. Seriously, my family still thinks this way (evangelicals living in the Georgia suburbs, FWIW). My sister broke down in tears trying talk me out of getting one, saying "If you knew what those things REALLY DO, what they REALLY ARE, you would never ever even think of…

Do you mind if I ask how she found out it migrated to her abdominal cavity, and what sort of long-term problems that ended up causing? {Hopeful IUD user, but scared to death.}

I could see them playing him as progressive and having a problem with his future son-in-law's politics?

What on earth did I just watch?

Franck planning his own wedding? I would totally watch that.

I read this but tried it with baby oil gel, 'cause that's all I had. And 'cause I'm a genius. DID NOT WORK.

Let me guess, the "Fully Alive" title is referring to fetuses?

There was a little of that. Mostly boys showing off or bragging about what they'd already done. Our entire grade consisted of 19 people though. It was tough keeping secrets from each other, so you always knew who was bullshitting.

I had a — wait for it — BIBLE STUDIES teacher do this to us at the Christian school I attended. Only it was a graph on the marker board with acts explicitly spelled out, such as "heavy petting," "oral sex," and "intercourse" and we had to actually mark on the graph how far we'd be willing to go, then sign our names…

YES! It slays me. The other part that makes me blubber like an idiot is when he asks Jenny if little Forrest is smart. :(

My fiance wanted to watch the episode again last night, because we'd been reading re-caps and reviews and he wanted to see things we might have missed the first time around. I reluctantly agreed, then right when Oberyn gets knocked down I started yelling "NO! STOP! THE END! THE END!" and ran out of the room.

God, I miss Renly the Hipster King. Always looked like there should have been Fleet Foxes music playing in the background of his scenes.

Not too sure about that one. Was just watching a clip of her on Conan and she was almost painful to watch she was so awkward and boring. I know she had a strong improv/live comedy background, just not sure about how well she'd do interviewing people.

REALLY hoping he finds his stride soon. I keep watching and rooting for him, and mid-show the boy and I will usually look at each other and grimace. He's a great interviewer, but the monologue is just NOT his strong suit. I also feel like the writing is incredibly weak. He was so great on Weekend Update, and now all…

I kind of love it! He's so not Don Draper. His comedic stuff is so fun. I LOVED him on 30 Rock, esp the live episode he was in.

I saw that recently, and also a cameo on Charmed. You're right. He's getting better and better. :)

I actually really liked her in Top of the Lake, but it's the only thing I can say that about. I guess I'm not familiar enough with NZ accents to have noticed it was horrible...

Either you or someone else made the same comment on another Jez article, I'm thinking it was about a former gay porn "star" turned evangelical? So funny, because I was just telling someone about that comment last night. Still cracks me up.

Good on her. I've been thinking lately that when my time comes I'd like my nearest and dearest to forego the church-y memorial service and have a potluck-style barbecue instead. My husband/family can scatter my ashes as he/they see fit, save a small amount that's to be sent up with fireworks at the end of the night…
