I’m on the Mirena; it’s fabulous. My life is so much better now.

“Scintillating scotoma” or ocular migraine are the terms for those. I used to get them as a precursor to an actual migraine; now that I’m on Mirena (hormonal IUD) they’re the only reminder that I used to get migraines.

Getting a Mirena implanted saved me. I was up to one migraine a week and then a continuous migraine lasting throughout my period. Mirena knocked it out such that the worst I’ve had is just some scintillating scotomas (those sparkly light shows followed by a blind spot, lasting about 20 minutes), without the follow-up

They’re actually required to get insurance through the Obamacare exchange. The “Congressional exemption” actually means they’re treated like a “small business” and thus forced to go through the exchange (with a partial employer stipend) or can opt out and purchase their own or go under a spouse’s coverage. http://www.n

And unfortunately, statistically the likelihood of severe injury/death goes up when the abused tries to leave the abuser. So if she does leave, she may be in serious danger.

My own “#MeToo” has left me jaded about what to expect from other human beings, not to mention how much “fuck you, I’ve got mine” I’ve seen going on, especially in the last year.

In an ideal world, this would be true. But some people are so insular in their thinking that it takes the concept of a threat to one of their (female) loved ones in order to shock them.

Whoever was handling on-location filming burned a lot of goodwill, which is deeply unfortunate to say the least. They disappointed people mildly by putting up a “store” that was just a set, then threw out the products inside after filming was done (and were wrong about the stuff being expired). https://www.dnainfo.com/

I’d say stock and a little bit of acid, like some white wine vinegar, maybe a bit of other vinegar. Try it to taste, adding slowly. You want just a hint since vinegar is more sour than wine or beer would be. A tablespoon might be too much.

I watched the week of “@midnight”where the joke was that Trump had bought a week’s worth of programming and insisted on making the show about him each night. Atamanuik was so damned on-point with the Trump-ness dialed up to 11; unlike Baldwin’s portrayal, he takes it just a little too far, but to a point where you

Yes, my documents collection for my go bag has a list of the pet-friendly hotels within 10 miles or so, as well as the contact information for the three boarders we’ve gone with before. The closest of the boarders is located about 9 miles away, so hopefully at least one is outside the disaster zone. I update the hotel

That’s probably pretty much it. It was about his power to him, to use and humiliate women at a whim.

Seriously. West Loop/Fulton Market has fabulous restaurants.

I dunno, is that required? What’s the accepted standard for going for C-section; do they have to wait for obvious and definite fetal distress, or are signs of impending distress acceptable?

I wonder if they had waited until definite distress, whether some lawyer be raking them over the coals for not being proactive.

Always is. Supernatural monsters aren’t real; human monsters are.

For stuff like this, I use large plastic resealing lids for disposable canisters (from Costco-sized powdered creamer containers, for instance) as a cheap “coaster” to keep my counter clean. They’re pretty easy to wipe clean, or just toss out if they’re too nasty.
