Also fair! :-)

Yeah, my Dad lives in a small town, like 363 people, and he won't keep his money in a local bank because he says the tellers are all gossips and everybody in town will know your bank balance. Same at the Post Office.

Understood! And thanks for the heads up on the dismissal.

Taking it out is a snap. I've had it done twice now. Putting it in is the painful part. If I do it again, Imma score a Valium or something and take it before I go into the Dr.'s office.

IUD insertion is no picnic. I have never had children, but the nurse holding my hand during the insertion (that was her WHOLE JOB...holding my hand) said that I instinctively went into the type of breathing that birthing mothers are taught.

I have a copper IUD (no hormones) and I love it. It lasts twice as long as the hormonal one, and if you've ever had an IUD put in, you know you're going to want to minimize the number of times THAT happens.

To me it seemed as though she never gave it a chance, but I suppose that when the culture just isn't right, you know it.

Asked without snark: Why can't you google this information yourself? It's kinda internet rude to ask people to explain things that are easily looked up on wikipedia. I do it all the time. Someone writes IMHO and I can't remember what that means, I google it.

I say nu-cu-lar, by choice, whenever I can remember to do it, because I like how it sounds, and I like to see the flicker of uncertainty in people's eyes, "did she just say..."

Love this story. Was he truly that dumb or was he pulling the ol' "if I do it badly she won't ever ask me to do it again"?

This was one of my favorites with Will Forte...

Where can I get one of those pillows? Imma spray it with Axe and live the fantasy.

Thank you! I feel like you really *get* me.

I'm an INFJ, so can I not come to your party, too?

You have changed my life :-)

Is it really? Before I was taught this magical method, I used to pour a slub of whiskey into a cup of coffee and call it good. My life was bleak and meaningless.

Your mom taught me everything I know.

You sound like you take your Irish Coffee seriously, and I approve!

I'm listening for this reply, too. I prefer non-fat milk. I just prefer it, g-d it! I still like sugar, tho.
