Not gonna lie - for me the insertion was tough (apparently it's easier if you've previously delivered a baby vaginally). Check with your doc first, but usually it's recommended to take 800mg of ibprofen about 25 mins beforehand. My biggest piece of advice: do not go to your appointment with an empty or near-empty…

I was going to say the same thing. Several of my friends have and are happy with their IUD's and my own Paragard will be turning 9 years old soon. I've already talked to my gynecologist about having a new one inserted when my current IUD is removed. For me this has been the best method of birth control, because…

Choosing a favorite is nearly impossible, but this is the Target:Women video that I have shared the most over the years. I still crack up at "jewelry face." Just a few weeks ago I was wondering what Sarah Haskins is up to these days so this is great news.

The ring: meh. The box it's in: beautiful.

Chris Noth is starting to look like a thinner version of Mr. Belvedere.

If my boyfriend were to approach me with eyelash curlers in his hand, I'd be terrified. On the flip side, he likes it when I do his makeup.

I heard a story about this on NPR several months ago. The people being interviewed said that the international shipping was too costly.

Every time I see this commercial I start screaming at my television. I bought my first new car in 2010 and got an excellent deal, in part because I did my research ahead of time. I did not set foot on a car lot without knowing the true cost of the cars I was eyeing and the average prices others had paid. When one…

Well, I just lost a bet. But the important thing is that Kate and the baby are healthy!

Gah - sorry.

I see at least three other women in the photo.

I agree that there ought to be additional seat belts or harnesses on all of the coasters. I was at Six Flags Great Adventure today riding coasters and even Nitro has seat belts as a backup restraint. While waiting in line I saw one girl make the mistake of lowering the restraint bar before she buckled herself in, so…

Don't worry - I totally understand. I didn't enjoy swimming until I saw the movie Splash, after which I decided I was a mermaid.

A thousand yes's, especially for the inclusion of the Nightswming video. I was very lucky to have grown up with a swimming pool in the backyard and started skinny dipping at night when I was a teenager, often with this song going through my head. Being naked while gliding through the water somehow made me feel less…

Sorry, but I'm sticking with my Dr. Brown's Diet Black Cherry. I actually prefer the taste over the non-diet variety. I'm a big fan of regular Dr Pepper but the diet version tastes absolutely terrible.

I loved that stuff, and it was great for micing with alcohol.

Well, then you are even closer! I'm in Philly and go up to NYC all time (^_^)

Aw, this makes me want to go even more! You might be surprised by the response if you do ask other people because I know a few people in the Philly area who have donned Monster High costumes for various events. Which character are you planning on going as? I sometimes make it down to the Baltimore/D.C. area for…

I haven't been able to make it back to DragonCon for the past few years *sniff sniff*. If I were going this year I would definitely do some Monster High cosplay, too. I bought my first doll - a Draculaura - a few years ago because she looked so much like an old picture of myself: identical hair, similar clothes and I…

When I was a little kid (early 80's), my parents regularly took me to South St. in Philadelphia. My father would sometimes let me sit on his shoulders, and I often asked him to stop so I could talk to the punk kids with the candy-colored mohawks. I thought they looked so cool that at some point I cut my Barbies' hair…
