I didn't know I was pregnant until 12 weeks and only reason I knew then is my doctor had me to a pregnancy test before he'd give me hormones to bring on my period. Reason is, I have PCOS and it is not unusual for my periods to disappear for months at a time. I thought, even though at that point I'd been on metformin…

I guess the grossest thing I've ever eaten is cougar. I was camping in eastern OR at a special workshop on protocols for working archaeological sites and accidental discoveries of sites and/or human remains. One of the attendees had recently killed a cougar and had made up a batch of cougar stew. Figuring there…

I don't understand any woman that would date a dude who was filmed raping someone. I really, really, really don't understand.

LOL for using 'think' in conjunction with 4chan and /b. I thought the whole point of the pit was to not think and relish being assholes - not unlike drunken, spoiled fratrats. Hmmmmm

That is so frustrating. I empathize, as I had the same problem with a different medical condition (in my case, PCOS). It took YEARS of telling different docs about my weird symptoms before I found a couple who 1) took me seriously 2) diagnosed me and 3) would bother do something to treat it. It can be hell to find…

Off topic but perhaps on theme (at least htat tired theme of, all too often it is too dangerous to tell a man 'no'): http://www.kxly.com/news/spokane-n…

A few months ago I saw a story of a religious family where dad died, and they left his body on the bed and shut the bedroom door. They were convinced if they kept prayer he was going to be resurrected. Well, that didn't happen and after a couple of months the authorities were called in to remove the body.

I wish people would not call her Igloo - what did the Inuit people ever do to deserve that?

Oh please. She's a fucking minstrel show - all she needs is to go full blackface and she is female Al Jolson for the 21st century (not to mention racist tweets she has made in the past about Native Americans and Latinos). And then she makes stupid insensitive remarks about the Ferguson protesters. If she did not…

The grammar was a little off to me in that one sentence - after thinking about it for a minute I assume he meant that the use of heroin proliferated in their neighborhoods.

I would not say wolves, as wolves are far better behaved than these frat brats and would be an insult to all wolves to associate them with these jackasses. They were likely raised by well meaning but vapid conservative 'rents who raised them to be spoiled narcissists.

That's terrible. I have heard that for a long time doctors did not like to use IUD's for women who had never been pregnant, however with the newer IUDs this is not an issue for most women, but it seems a lot of docs haven't caught up to the new info.

Yes but I like your style!! :)

Damn, that is terrible. I got a mirena 3 yrs ago, my gyno did not once insinuate I ought to get hubby's permission. My gyno knows my medical history, I told him I wanted a copper IUD and that was that. The fact that here in 21st century America there are docs that would hint a woman should get a partner's…

When these stories first broke, I found one where Faye Grant (his now ex-wife) mentioned that she learned Stephen is a narcissist with 'sociopathic tendencies'. I do not know in what ways sociopathic tendencies is different from a straight-up sociopath, but coupled with narcissism it can't be good.

The symbol that earliest Christians used (so far as is known) is the fish symbol. Nice and nonviolent. I'd rather they stuck with that symbol, but as I am not a member of the religion I can't say I have a vote...

That isn't true in my experience.

Oh please. She even said Roman Polanski wasn't guilty of 'rape rape' and that motherfucker WAS convicted in a court of law. So, even made all legally official, she is still a rape apologist. WHy, who the fuck knows.

Considering that Gothard's ATI and he himself is a serial sexual harrasser (albeit of teen girls and young women, so I guess young Mr. Duggar was safe on that score - well, from that old creep Gothard. Dunno about any of his employees tho') I would say that 'camp' is no better than military type camps that have been…

Yeah. Libby Anne (who is a walkaway from a Christian Patriarchy cult, not unlike the one the Duggars are part of) had this to say about the current Duggar controversy: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/lovejoyf…
