I think everyone has different experiences— I’m on my second mirena, now, and am definitely an evangelist for IUDs in general, but I had a major flare up of acne when I got my first one that I managed to tame with some more aggressive topical creams, which I used for two months before it was unnecessary (I was on the…

any negative side effects? weight gain/acne? i’m so close to pulling the trigger on it, too.

This is kind of good advice, but I just don’t see many people following it.

I know men get raped too, but from what I understand, it’s ridiculously common among women. I imagine the stigma is even more horrible for men, but my perception (as a random person with very little knowledge of the military in general) is that when you’re a female soldier, some degree of sexual harassment is…

My ex husband used to sneak up and scare me until I threw a roast pan full of marinating steaks at him.

Martha Stewart is a horrible person. There is nothing pleasant or parental about her.

He doesn’t stand behind you and repeatedly ask “would you please hurry the fuck up?”

They drank the potion:

I agree with her. Bathroom time is alone time. My boyfriend is always coming up behind me when I’m at the sink and scaring the shit out of me.

After seeing Channing and Jenna in Lip Synch battle I am fascinated with them and hope they stay together forever.

Word. I was just looking at her thinking what is she doing right and WTF am I doing wrong?

Buffy and Mr. Prinze Jr do.not.age. I’ll have what they’re having.
