I need to get my period tomorrow. I am in a long-distance relationship and my partner comes to visit in a six days. I haven't had sex in over a month and a half, and I'm scheduled to get my period this week. If it doesn't happen tomorrow then I will be very, very sad.

@bookling: Huh, I had no idea. Thanks bookling, this has been very informative.

@laraish: Maybe the ovaries are more like sperm than we realize and they actually "compete" to be chosen.

@flanhoodles: That is the greatest dream ever! Why can't Jeff Goldblum be in my dreams, just like he is in all of my favorite films?

@bookling: Uh, I eat more than that.

Two more things to add to this discussion:

@curiousgeorgiana: Weird...

@thebootyfaerie: What's with the whole egg-number thing then? What effect does it have?

@Scout: Sonic Boom, as in Toronto's Sonic Boom??

Alright, time for the stupid question that has been on my mind that I want answered no matter how silly it makes me look.

@TuesdayNext: This is why I am extremely happy that there are limits on what you can advertise during kids programs in Canada.

@lolo: I thought Rory too! And then got way too excited...

Message to Martha Stewart - I think you are stealing Plato's bit.

@roodles: Yeah that made absolutely no sense. Did they prefer horse-drawn carriages before? It hurts my heart and brain to read things like that.

@luciolebizarre: That's where I stopped too. Feeling kind of nauseous.

I'm also confused here. We get bashed for having children too young, and also too old. Are we basically being given a window of 24-28 to hammer out 2.5?

My mother got pregnant with me at 36 even after having a tubal ligation.

@MsPipCheerio: Ah! I am not going to even read the article it will make me so angry. "In built fear of getting fat?" Why that is so dismissive of any cultural difference that it becomes more than offensive, it becomes Zoffensive.

@SheelaNaGig: Ha! I just spent the last few weeks losing the three to five pounds I gained in grad school this year because I can't afford to go out and buy new summer clothes and therefore must fit into last years. Oh the sacrifices we make to decrease our degree of debt.

@NefariousNewt: I don't think that means what we want it to mean.
