Satan was phone!

Francine screamed it best.

Yep. I loved my Mirena, but holy fuck did it hurt like hell going in. And it’s tiny! And meant to go in there!

Holy shitsnacks. I’m glad you’re ok! A ruptured cervix has now replaced bears in my top three biggest fears.

Yeah, I remember getting my IUD several years ago. Hurt so bad! NOT SEXY!

Ah the old GERD diet. I’m familiar. GERD and IBS here. A flare feels like eternity.

That makes sense. If the lifetime M&M is the same and lifestyle changes help enough then I’d forgo surgery. But that’s assuming it could be managed with meds and lifestyle changes. Thanks for the info! And I’m glad you and your friend are both doing better. :)

Well if people were accusing me of using meth, or saying I had a serious illness like AIDS, and telling me to drop dead, I would want to explain what’s really going on.

Ah! That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the info, and I hope you find a way to feel better soon. :)

That’s what I was thinking. But I don’t know his medical history, there could be a reason surgery is more risky for him.

I thought one could have surgery to repair this type of hernia. Did he say if that was an option or why it wasn’t?

Starred for the Rowdy Roddy Piper reference. :D

Team Venture 4 Lyfe!

Going on stories my parents tell if vacations we took when I was a kid, you wait until the kids are asleep. And it’s easier if they’re extra worn out from swimming all day.

Fucking this. I grew up in a mobile home because that’s what my family could afford. It was a little cramped, but my sister and I had our own rooms at least. (Sharing a loft during our teenage years would not have gone well.) Small homes aren’t some new concept. Get the fuck over yourselves.

Wow, that got awkward super fast.

Exactly. Don’t leave them in there for hours on end. But while you make dinner, or clean up some. You can’t watch them every second and that’s when they get into things and can get hurt.

Damn, I do miss The Far Side.

How do kids make those noises without injuring their vocal chords?! You’d think they’re being murdered but nope! Just having a good time!

I fully intend to put any future kids I have in baby jail.
