That is skeevetastic. But I feel enriched having learned that "suggesting congress" can be used as a euphemism for sexytimes. Thanks for sharing!

I like mine. Occasionally I mess up inserting it, but I compensate with pantyliners (what a terrible word), which are a little bit cheaper than tampons and pads. The best thing is that I can forget I'm even on my period, except for when it needs emptied.

That's still a big thing! From what I've experienced, there's not really a great way to tell what will work for anyone. The biggest thing might just be being READY to get rid of them, which can be tough, obviously.

That's not a bad idea. I'd go out with him again if he asked, and maybe not at lunch, when it's less appropriate to drink beer. Beer might be the key here.

Date #1 occurred on Thursday, and was objectively kind of blah. We had been texting, and there were a few red flags—like him getting annoyed at me not texting back in a timely manner, which... dude, I don't know you that well and I'm out of town with family and friends and stuff. I am busy. Fast forward a couple weeks…

Unsolicited OKCupid date-a-palooza update in the reply. Highlights: Ranting! Crap text from a dude!

Bahahaha! Okay. I laughed loudly for a solid minute. Well done!

Good for you! That's really awesome and you're badass for managing it. I used to talk to people who were smokers trying to quit for my job, and I got tons of stories of Chantix just really not agreeing with people (crying! vomiting! hating things!). Of course, if it had worked, I wouldn't have been talking to them.

I love this! And most of the people I've talked to who didn't benefit from Chantix said the murderous rage was a total downer.

I had surprisingly good luck getting quotes via e-mail and trying to play dealers against eachother. As to the loan, just harp on the interest rate as much as possible so they maybe can get you a better deal. You can even play the leave-and-come-back game!

My answer to any sort of sexytimes issues is usually "practice makes perfect," so I think you've got yourself a super sexy project!

Cut yourself some slack—as in, let yourself feel crappy until you don't feel so crappy anymore. And then start doing all the things you didn't do, but wanted to, when you were in a relationship.

Seeing "hey girl" used without Ryan Gosling gives me icky feelings.

Oh man. Just settle in and plan on being up all night finishing them. Then start the books! Amazing!

I will, whether anyone wants to know or not. I gotta get it out somewhere!

It can be fun! Usually it's just annoying, but... there are moments. Now that I'm single, I miss being in a long-term relationship, but grass is greener etc. :)

Aw! You, my friend, are livin' the dream.

When I took it, I felt nauseated and had some spotting, but it was all gone within a couple of a day or two. Not bad at all!

OKCupid date-a-palooza date #2 just happened. And it was really good! He was super geeky, but way cute and socially competent. That would be my kryptonite, right there.

Well, seeing a psychologist isn't the end all and be all of everything, but it can be really hard to sort through those types of issues even if you know basically what they are. You're pretty much always too close to your own problems! So it might be worth it to talk to a psychologist who will acknowledge the things…
