Aaahh. Yeah I didn't understand that very much when my best friend told me that, but her mom's a nurse so I just bowed to her authority there. But that makes way more sense that you're not more likely to get the STI in the first place, but that if you get it, an IUD can increase risk of the STI complications getting…

Yeah, my cousin has an inverted (?) uterus, so she's never actually been able to find the strings to check them.

Oh so I just looked up Paraguard and found out it was the copper IUD. For some reason everyone I know just calls it the copper IUD. Oh language, so hard to pin down.

Really?? Because I grew up in Victoria and live in Kelowna now and I have yet to hear a single Canadian say "aboot". Strange.

She's had it for about 5 months now, unfortunately. She is, however, an extremely tiny human so I assume her uterus corresponds to the rest of her?

If you haven't read it already T.H. White's Once and Future King set is wonderful.

Ooh, I hadn't considered the at-home spa day. I like the sound of that :)

Ok so any tips/advice. I'm kind of nervous because my husband is leaving for a week and this will be the first time I've actually just been alone for a week. I've always had loads of room-mates or was living in a dorm before we got married so I don't actually know what it's like. We're also new to this city and I…

And now that you have reminded me, I'm going to heat up some of my leftover chili for dinner.

Small world. I've also nannied for years.

The idea is that a child does not have the capacity to consent to sex.

I will actually! Thanks! I've never heard of it, but perhaps we don't have it up here in Canada.

I've recently made a butternut squash chili, so I assume it'll be fundamentally similar. I used some dried chipotle and it really played off the sweetness in the squash nicely.

First off, sorry about your assignment. That sucks.

I don't know anything about paraguard, but my best friend just got Mirena and she's been having some problems with it. She gets some pretty terrible cramps because it's too big for her uterus (she hasn't had kids so maybe that's why?).

Babies are cute. Cars are fast. Babies get fast eventually. So...practically the same thing.

BLAH! The dude playing Billy Ray kind of looks exactly like a guy I dated in first year. I think I need to go curl up and re-evaluate some life choices.

I've considered it a few times, but then figured since the false negative chances are relatively high before missing a period, it was pretty possible that if I was pregnant then it wouldn't tell me anyways. So I've always just waited to see if I'm late before I take a test.

Generally speaking, active participation does not negate statutory rape.
