Yeah, I'm not crazy about the noise, but it really wasn't that bad with the protector over it. And I figured honestly, it's worth a little discomfort about a sound to know that I'm sleeping on something clean.

I officially think you're awesome. Hearted.

It's the circle of life, really. It will lessen our carbon footprints, too.

I agree (and I've done the same thing, re used beds for guest rooms), but I admit I'm queasier about this one because it's memory foam. Putting a mattress cover on that seems to be really defeating the purpose, you know?

I've bought used mattresses to use for guest beds before; I had guests coming and simply couldn't afford to buy new. I sprayed them with bleach and left them in the sun for a full day, then bought those plastic covers that enclose the whole mattress, the kind that zip? I put them in those, then used another mattress…

I keep imagining this as the plot for an episode of I Love Lucy or something. "Lucyyyy...did you send a racist email today? You got some 'splaining to do!"

I know, me too. Because gee, your time is just so valuable and you're so, so special and important that it's a huge deal for you to just click "Delete" and then, you know, get over yourself.

Thanks, this is good to know!

Lol, exactly! I still have a hard time finding foundations light enough, too.

I remember at sixteen or seventeen a male friend of mine telling me, about a girl he'd dated, that she had "the hairiest pussy he'd ever seen*," and being really surprised that he'd apparently seen some that weren't very hairy.

As an aside, did anyone else find that the "just use a concealer over your zits" advice never worked, and only drew attention to them? I always found that an actual foundation looked a lot less fakey, especially since generally if I blended well enough for it not to look like the zit was in its own little splotchy…

Ha! Thanks for the grin!

I had bad PPD with my first and was as happy as could be with my second, and placenta never came within two feet of my mouth for either. So I'm thinking no, it wouldn't have made a difference.

Soylent Green is PLACENTA!!

I am so sorry for your loss.

I've always felt tremendously sorry for him. I think he was used and exploited and raised with all the wrong values, and I'm glad to see him finally growing up.

No, I actually agree, to some point (and didn't mean to imply you're humorless, I just wanted to make sure it came across as a joke, because you know, internet). My fifth-grade english teacher and his wife ate the placenta, which weirded me out, yeah, but sort of normalized the idea, if you know what I mean? I've been…

See, I'm happy to suck and swallow, but I'm not interested in doing so if my personal fluids are already on the organ in question, to be honest, just like I'm not into deep kissing after receiving oral. I've done both, and I wouldn't say it squicks me out, I just prefer not to. I don't think that makes me…

Think of all the protein!
