Hm. Whitney Houston didn't write her own songs, did she? Sinatra didn't, either. Their performance of other people's songs never struck me as a statement about power so much as an acknowledgement that there have always been tons of talented writers, and talented performers know enough to pick the best material.

This can be so isolating and scary. I hate that your grandfather didn't have the resources and encouragement available to learn that life can be GREAT after the surgery (thank you, internet!). There are still a lot of people who are newly diagnosed and terrified of life "after"- who wouldn't be? But meeting people…

I think "shredding the loofah" could be a pretty good euphemism... for something.

Also, I have three hands. What of it?

I love this for her! As a bladder cancer survivor, I wish there weren't such weird shame attached to medical conditions that involve digestion- it's part of life, people! Everybody poops (pees).

Even here on the Bible Belt, we have to get a license from the state to get married, and the "officiant" who signs it doesn't have to be religious- just authorized to perform marriages. The religious ceremony is something people do or choose not to do based on their own wishes.

Oh, if it's a Mike episode I definitely wouldn't get it. I was more of a Joel fan.

Are any of these boycott-able other than Hobby Lobby? The majority seem obvious enough, but I'd hate to find out one of these generically-named companies is actually a holding company for Kroger or something.

Is it the "How to Go on a Date" short? The one where "weenie roasts" get touted as prime dating time?

But there are sizeable cracks in their pots, as they demonstrate every day.

When that glorious day finally comes- when "healthcare" actually includes "reproductive health" for women- I will invite the prolifers to cordially fuck right off and move to somewhere friendlier to their Sharia law beliefs.

If I ever get in the ocean, I will first learn to surf on sea turtles. It's the only way to be sure.

Are there jellyfish that don't cause existential dread?

Pfft, everybody knows uterii are practicing Satanists. The only reason to procreate is to provide new sacrifices for the Dark Lord!

I used Paragard before my first child, and Mirena after and between my kids. LOVED THEM BOTH. No impact on my fertility or sex drive, insertion was no worse than a pelvic exam/Pap smear. Cost is probably the biggest obstacle now, as our insurance coverage of the procedure and equipment varied widely between uses.…

My new religion is going to be against colonoscopies. It's your own damn fault if you insist on using your colon, whiner.

Tell me why Viagra is covered and birth control pills aren't. This I gotta hear.

Because only nymphomaniacs need birth control? You are either fifteen years old, geriatric, or a man if you think that. Married women used to get pregnant every year and die in their thirties because there were no reliable birth control methods. If this is all about not endorsing naughty naughty icky sex, why the ever…

I just hope the con's not so long that I don't live to see the result. Love your username! I'm more of a Nanny Ogg, myself.
