Of course it’s different for everyone, but with my Mirena, I have like a teeny mini period. I have maybe 30 seconds at most of cramping and I have a day or two of spotting. It’s like checking in just to say “yep, things are fine around here!” and getting the hell out of my way.

I went by myself too! I went during lunch break from work, ha. I guess I was quite lucky to feel fine enough to finish my work day. Didn’t mind a little comforting that night at home, but all told, I would totes be down for a girls’ IUD outing!

I have only encountered a former bully once, and it was one of the oddest experiences. She was certainly a bit rough on me in school, but there were worse bullies and ultimately I forgot about most of my interactions with her after graduation. After several years, I ended up hanging out with one of her siblings as a…

I’m a little surprised season 1 True Detective has hardly been mentioned. I thought that was great, though some people here apparently don’t care for a long intro.

I just read The Jungle for the first time recently, and I couldn’t believe how current a lot of the issues and themes are. I had to double check the publication date several times. I found it so bizarre and disheartening that our nation has apparently not progressed from some of those early 1900 standards.

Ah, gotcha. I also think that in a pinch (not ideal, but possible) people could have shared and cut down the needed devices to 9...

How many personal CC devices would a typical large movie theater like this have on hand? I would think that it might make sense to have at least 20 if you have >10 screens, but I have no idea what theaters do in real life.

Not an especially famous song, but Hillbilly Casino’s “Violets in May” is a good one. Well, “good.” You know.

That guard/cop’s expressions are subtle but really entertaining.

The only standby that has been consistently good to my sensitive, rosacea-prone face. I have tried so many other recommended face washes from Cetaphil to unsustainably expensive (for my budget) brands, and this is the only thing that doesn’t leave my face hurting, red, and broken out. I long thought that maybe going…

This is exactly the content of my boyfriend’s fourth-grade creative writing report that he put in his school-approved time capsule, unearthed in 2012 after 25 years of gestation. Repeated references to the hood-mounted machine guns were a focal point.

I guess I view it sort of as shaving my legs when I want to wear shorts, or even just brushing my hair before going out. It’s far from necessary or particularly notable for a gyn appointment, but... I dunno, even though it doesn’t matter, it’s just that I know someone’s gonna be RIGHT THERE and why not. Certainly…

My old workplace was doing this last year, and they sent around the overall results in the company newsletter (probably over 10,000 employees involved). Only about 1/3 of the company caught it the first surprise time around, and by the third time it only increased to half the company. So yeah, a lot of people fell for…

Did you see that horrid line of traffic on 93S yesterday backed up all the way past 95? Goo. (Was due to someone rear-ending a school bus in the tunnel, btw. I feel so safe on these roads.)

He voiced Scar, if that’s a useful reference for you. Typecasting, eh? ;)

I’m with you there. The weirdest thing for me has been that the best thing I’ve found, and choose to stick with, is a Target-brand creamy cleanser. My skin looks and feels its absolute best with it, far moreso than with more expensive products. Every now and then I think “well maybe it could be even better?” and I…

Agreed, your comment wasn’t about any one person. The all-or-nothing tone of your original statement seems like something worth discussing, I guess. Clearly it’s a topic people have some strong feelings on!

The findings of a study are just some observations, hardly “tips.” I think any “tip” implication in this article has more to do with thinking about these things throughout a relationship, not helping to save a marriage that has already begun to tank. And it might not necessarily be about how to change either…

Both cities have similarly arranged pay/turnstile situations. Granted, not necessarily similar demographics.

Not sure how that was a direct response to the prior comment. However, I do notice just as many turnstile jumpers who appear Asian as any other group.
