There is, and you're right your doctor should talk to you about it if you're considering taking it and it should be publicized. I was more speaking to the suggestion in the article that the fact that birth control pills can cause blood clots is new information.

You can get a clear case and use regular cloth or the plastic-y stuff you can cross stitch on. Just cut out the camera hole, cut the fabric to the size of the back of your phone and use whatever clear case will fit it and everything should be held in securely. That way, your thread work is also protected from the…

That's super-lame. That bitch Yasmin and her sister Yaz can go fuck themselves. I've got a lovely girl named Mircette that keeps me regular, cramp-free, baby-free and doesn't turn me into a raving lunatic.

It's one of the things that's in the fine-print on Yaz & Yasmin though, now that I look it up. And I have a foggy memory of me telling my lady doctor about my gall-issues before her switching me to a different pill. My diet was and is pretty good and the only 2 attacks I had came 1. after a weekend in Maine where I…

Taking birth control has always increased risk of blood clots, as does taking any form of synthetic estrogen as far as I know. Smoking also increases that risk. Wait, am I sounding like an actual commercial for birth control? Cause I totally think I am. Yaz just has a slightly higher risk than Ortho and other the…

DUDE! I had gallstones right after I went of of Yasmin, because it made me a hysterical lunatic.* I never put that together. Gilda is still here though, alive, kickin' and processing fatty foods.

As a low alto who had to sing "ding dong" over and over again in high school, I'll give you Carol of the Bells.

I see Baby, It's Cold Outside as part of a different time, when even if she had wanted to stay, which I would argue she does, she is held to a standard by society that says she's not allowed. The only excuse she could possibly have is the weather. It was written in 1949, after all. I always felt like it's Dean Martins…

As someone who is 1/3 Greek on my dad's side, I'd have gone with Brocchus, God of the Bros, because Bacchus was nothing if not willing to bro down.

Nun-ghosts are generally pretty nice. Except for when they're evil and mean, which is probably more of the time, now that I think back on my horror movie/book/other entertainment experiences.

She was with Dean Cain, and I learned from watching Celebrity Ghost Stories that the ghost of a nun in a foreign (Irish? French? I don't remember.) former-convent hotel essentially told her he was cheating on her.

Oh, see, I don't see the Nicki tweet as Madonna macking on her, just sort of a peck. I'm sure it felt way more awesome than my creepy, elderly neighbor hugging and kissing me on the cheek as I left for work this morning.

I'd pull out O Come All Ye Faithful if I were going with religious songs, but maybe that's because I had to learn it in English and Latin in high school chorus.

I call bullshit on the tournament because it does not include the following songs:

So, the elder Kardashians each have a shitty tabloid in their pockets, good to know.

Gosling was the invisible man. There was a whole slide show explaining who they were supposed to be, but why bother with that.

Hmm, I see where I've gone wrong here. So, what I need is a diamond, or maybe Swarovski-crystal encrusted soap dispenser. Oooh, how about one made from shards of Ming vases? Yep, sounds good.

And here I was, feeling good about the croc sneakers and Dr. Bronner's soap that arrived today for me to gift to my dad. Do they sell leather caddies for vat-sized bottles of hippie soap?

How is it possible that these people have so little perspective? I just really can't understand it.

For everyone wondering about the $20 charge, it's for people who are getting their tickets for free. It's also a charitable donation, so if you're a writer, or you have to otherwise be there for work, you should be able to get a receipt and you, or your company, can write it off come tax time.
