Thank you. Neanderthals have been taking a lot of unjustified heat.

I had this idea because it's what my sister did to me. We have been roommates for a couple of years and she told me last year that she felt scared when she was sick because I wasn't being a good enough caretaker and she was too weak to argue with me. This really broke my heart, imagining my sister being sick and

This is TRUTH right here.

Gradually teach him how to cope. You know, ask him to stay home to take care of you when you have a bad cold. Have him make you tea and soup and arrange your medication near the bed with lots of water nearby. Tell him, "I feel so feverish, I can't remember when to take my medication. Can you please take charge of that

I'm sorry! This situation seems terrible for all of you.

Your guy sounds like a jewel!

I have a mantra; never be with someone who doesn't make your life better. It's really the bare minimum they can do. And I'm not talking about money - I'm saying they should make your day brighter, make you laugh, ask if they can bring home Indian food cause you're feeling sick. If you're doing all the heavy lifting,

He should know, because you tell him, that you are seriously considering whether he is a worthy partner. You have to be able to count on him, the kids have to be able to count on him. It doesn't get more basic than that. And if he's not up to the job, not just self-flagellating lip service, then he is beneath the

It's definitely a fire-able offense (I used to be a teller in my youth) and I'm not sure about illegality, but it seems like it should be illegal, doesn't it? And yet, according to Pops Dunemi, it happens all the time.

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. Like, short, hard breaths through the mouth. On the other hand the pain went

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.

Just curious, where did you go? I went to Bryn Mawr and I remember there was a woman in my first year class who hated it from pretty much the first day and transferred to Reed College the next year. 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"?
