I had a strange encounter with Tom Waits. Is there any other kind?

Funny, this coming from a company that is run by super-duper Christians. They put John 3:16 on the bottom of their bags, even.

There's absolutely no evidence that a 12 hour fast is much of a problem. Five small meals a day, more bosh. Even MORE recent work shows that you should confine eating to a 12 hour period, or even less. Have coffee, with no fat, and just wait until lunch to eat. Or go ahead if you must, and have something for…

Honestly, good for her. She's a working model. She works. And since that seems to be a real sticking point with the Jez commentariat re: her family, here you go: She has a job and one that you all can agree is an actual job.

edit: my anger was misguided, can't edit earlier posts but don't want to delete. Sorry

I picked up the Utilitech about a month ago. Love it. Takes some time but makes even the coldest rooms toasty warm in about 15 minutes.

This has been one of the most therapeutic pieces I have read in a long time. My sister and I are estranged from our mother and when people hear of this they usually paint us as spoiled children. "But that's your MOTHER!" they say. No matter that she was and is an abusive psycho who both my sister and I tried our…

I think sometimes abusive parents have a tendency to believe the lies they've told themselves about how wonderful their children's childhoods were. Particularly if their children turned out to be decent adults.

A Juggalo. I would elaborate but I don't really think that's necessary.

Oh. Now I get it.

I spent 2 minutes in photoshop creating their entire 2015 marketing campaign.

There are two wonderful things happening here in this story:

The Cliff Notes are in the comments as well as some links. I totally know what you mean. A friend had been trying to consciously squirt forever (read books, went to a different workshop etc) but couldn't. When I saw Shannon Bell's workshop we signed up and it was the golden (or should I say opaque?) ticket. :-)

Her name is Shannon Bell. Google her and her wisdom using her name + female ejaculation. (Sorry for the delay. Thursday night is ladies wine night.)

Geeze. The female sexual organs are so mysterious though. Last year I went through a phase where I would squirt during masterbation like half the time and you know what? It totally smelled and looked like piss to me so I dunno....

Jia, I'm so glad for this article! I've been waiting for one on IUDs for a while because, well, I'm gray.

The removal is really not bad at all (of course if you get it replaced you'll have to go through another insertion). I had mine removed last year because we're trying to get pregnant. It's basically like a big yank and it's over. Way better than insertion.

Seriously. After having my Mirena inserted and my cervix dilated to less than a centimeter, I CANNOT IMAGINE the pain and scale of cervical dilation during childbirth. Like, my brain just can't figure it out. To illustrate for folks here, the Mirena inserter is Pluto compared to a baby's head being Jupiter.

I had the same problem with my IUD when I first got it. Have you gone back in to the OBGYN and talked to them about it? They're usually able to clip the strings shorter so they're not poking as much.

I'm glad you're enjoying yours.
