What scares me about the whole thing is that the links I’ve read suggest they still aren’t sure why the IUD works. There are theories, but it’s not proven. So then I wonder who the sadist was that had this idea to jam a foreign object into some poor woman’s uterus in the first place and then I go wondering wtf is…

I feel like I wrote this comment. :(

My doctor told me that “the insertion isn’t that bad, and you can take ibuprofen or tylenol ahead of time to manage it.” He (yes, he) did also warn me that the first six months are the worst as your body adjusts to it.

The nurse practitioner I spoke with said that for ladies who’ve delivered babies vaginally, they don’t even dilate the cervix. I find that hard to believe, but I guess I’ll know whenever I get mine inserted (I have a prescription for one, but I also don’t have my regular paycheques up and running yet, and I just…

It’s probably too late for you now, but I kept my last name and our kids have my husband’s. However, each of them have my last name as a second middle name. It’s on their legal paperwork, though I can’t remember if I put it on my daughter’s school registration. It was my compromise to giving them his last name and not…

I’ve seen massage chairs in airports, but it’s not the most common thing.

Also, get regular trims. When your last haircut is so long ago that your ends are thin and form a V, you are WAY PAST DUE for a haircut.

I had a math teacher in high school who would gives us our tests unstapled. The tests were graded out of whatever (let’s say 90), and then you got a total of 5 potential marks for presentation (i.e., neatness of your work) and another 5 for something else that escapes me (showing your work? Whatever). When you handed…

I can’t speak for this location, but the George Mud Fudge blizzard is a thing we can still get in Canada at least. It’s brownie pieces and chocolate pieces and chocolate syrup, and it’s my usual Blizzard order.

I’m not trying to excuse her, but I have a friend who had a serious nut allergy (bad enough that she couldn’t be around open containers of nuts), and apparently her parents would regularly have dishes of nuts out that they wouldn’t think to put away when she visited.

My daughter is a finger sucker, and started at a very early age. I had people telling me when she was 4 or 5 months old that “Oh, you’ll want to stop that habit before she’s 2/3/4 years old and sucking them!” I had a mental reaction similar to your doctor’s, but never had the balls to say it to people.

I’ve never been to any Disney (our family vacations were always driving 12+ hours to the Maritimes to visit our extended family), and it honestly sounds like my definition of hell. Big crowds, long lines, dragging exhausted kids around who you’re trying to get exposed to everything because it’s DISNEY and I PAID A…

And yet I’m super white and can rarely get those farking things to turn on for me. I just assumed I needed darker skin. Maybe I don’t exist...

I'm sorry you experienced that.

Frozen north, actually!

Sorry, having to reach around a sleeping baby on a nursing pillow to type, so I wasn't writing as verbosely as I usually do. My comment was meant to say that while I do not have any personal experience with GSA, I absolutely believe it exists — if people who are raised as siblings can end up in taboo situations,…

Crap, sorry about the spamming. I got badly kinjaed.

I remember reading that in things like the hot tub sketches, the reason he kept cracking up was because Will Ferrell was tickling and grabbing at him under the water. He just always seemed to me like he was having fun, which was great.
