Yes, I think it’s normal to have some mild cramps for a short time after you put the cup in. To me cup insertion cramps are distinguishable from menstrual cramps. The noises you’re describing sound like suction to me—which means you have the cup placed correctly. Before I put mine in, I lick a finger and run it around…

I am taking this to heart. Thank you for sharing your experience.

PS, for the love of the flying spaghetti monster, do I have to still be greyed out after all this time??

Thank you, and please bear with us. I also snapped at my white male husband tonight, which I regret and apologized for. My take is that us women have a biologically based emotional reaction to the thought of Roe vs. Wade being overturned that we don’t believe men can match. I stand by that overall, but of course there…

She did more than that. She threatened to expel a prominent reporter (Jim Acosta from CNN) from the pool if he asked Trump about the tweet.

Isn’t he rumored to be the father of January Jones’ child?

He made objectification of women so pernicious that now we don’t even acknowledge it on a conscious level. Not shedding any tears over this one.

A year ago I would have gotten my blood pressure up at Polanski’s despicable crimes, but there are about 100 Trump-based things I’m more outraged by right now.

Call those Senate Republicans. Thank them for their courage and ask them to follow up their statements with actions. We have to take advantage of this opportunity to widen the breach between the GOP and Trump.

It’s not doxxing if people are making no attempt to conceal their identity at a public event. Doxxing has a negative, sneaky connotation. Would you consider changing the word to “identifying?”

This is not a fast. This is a liquid diet. Anyone who fasts for 111 days will certainly die.

He’s not entitled to his position when it violates our inalienable rights (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) set forth in the Declaration of Independence. He’s also not entitled because his job is to represent his constituency, which overwhelmingly does not support the repeal or replacement of Obamacare.…

True, and also a way for them to be harshly judgmental and get away with it.

Indeed. I definitely don’t automatically equate being religious with having values I admire. Actually, my respect for religion has never been lower due to the hypocrisy of the current batch of “religious” politicians.

Ha! And remember passing notes?

I wonder if adolescents are more cruel than kids. I’m cringing on your behalf at that “joke.” Hope you’ve healed from it.

I am so sorry. They are immature bullies. Your story brought to mind a “joke” one of my best friends played on me in high school, where she had a friend impersonate a local DJ (yes, I’m old, radio shows were a major source of entertainment and information) who said that a guy I had a huge crush on wanted to ask me on…

This needs more stars. Arnold Palmer is the most refreshing beverage known to woman. Your recipe is perfect. I’ll add that the Honest Tea “iced tea lemonade” bottle is perfectly mixed as well.

My aunt and uncle live in that district and are lifelong Republican voters. They have no children and I will be their executor. Tonight I decided to donate any and all money I receive from their estate to Planned Parenthood and other liberal causes.
