That happens to me, too, and my husband clued me in to this trick: shampoo removes blood stains really well. Rub some shampoo on the stain, and throw in the wash next time you do laundry. This has worked WONDERS for saving all of my pretty underwear that I refuse not to wear just because I'm shedding uterine lining.

The last few voice-over lines, though...

Dodai, did you just discover the magical wonderness that is Pogo?! The first song of his for me was Alice, but this one sealed the damn DEAL:

I love you for posting this. I'm not going to be 30 for two more years, but I'm nervous about how it's going to feel to know that I'm in my third decade of life. That and our stupid, stupid society is constantly telling me that I'm too old RIGHT NOW.

Right there with you. I had a chocolate chip muffin for my second breakfast at work, and later I'm going to an aerial lesson. I feel pretty damn good about both.

My god, I'm so sorry. I need to remember what you've said, perhaps it will help me be more grateful instead of complaining so much. I'll never meet you, but you've changed me. Those few words stopped me in my tracks and you've impacted me deeply. I wish you so much peace and as much joy as possible in your remaining…

Please tell me this is not you...

Thanks for the help, everyone! I really appreciate it! I've decided not to go, and am just going to send the RSVP back as 'not attending' and leave it at that. If they care to know more, the onus is on them to contact me, though I hope they won't. I need to just move forward from those people entirely.

I just posted here about something that makes me crazy happy, and now I'm going to post about something confusing, so please forgive me for being what I consider a forum-hog, I just have lots on my mind.

I don't know much about cross-eyed cats, but do they have problems seeing because of the crossed eyes?

You guys, I finally took an aerial class a week ago that I've been dying to take for years. It was the hardest physical thing I've done, having to pull all of my own weight up and around by mostly my arms, but I felt...so happy doing it. And strong. And lithe, and sexy and perfect. Cheesy as it sounds, I feel like…

Ooh, fun fantasy! I just got the sample from Amazon, and can't wait to read it! You've got great reviews on goodreads! :D

I've always thought bats look like mice/small bears with wings. Despite the weird claws on fruit bats. Even the weirder looking species of bats are cute to me. *shrug* I also think hairless cats are adorable. There's no accounting for taste.

They're ugly and look like they're crossing their arms in disapproval at your slutty life choices.

I'm really happy for them. They look lovely, sweet and happy, and I hope they get so much joy out of their little one.

I started out as long-distance with my husband, and after ~9 months, married him and moved to be with him. I'd never lived anywhere else but my hometown, and I picked up everything and moved to a brand new part of the country. I've been here for three years, and while we have our issues, moving to be with him was the…

Oh my god, oh my GOD. That duck's adorable snores could make world peace happen, balance the budget, create jobs and kick the government out of my uterus, they're that cute.

For me, yogurt is the failed step between milk and cheese. MAKE A DECISION, BACTERIA. And quit making me gag.

I'm a transplant here, and I love Detroit.

I've been a jerk like that. I'm trying not to be one anymore.
