This. I'm used to it because my SO is a giant broad moose of a man and he's always invading my space and claiming it for his own. Strangers are normally nicer than he is about it. As long as you're not whamming me painfully with your elbows/etc. I'm cool!

Oh god, this comment. I die. +1, right there with ya.

Quit spying on me. LOL.

Okay. Sold. I need to just actually DO THIS THING already. haha.

You could look into ablation, too? Temporarily stops or greatly lessens period nonsense!

I wish you the best of luck! If nothing else, MN is freaking awesome and our PP would help you out. :)

I'm in Minnesota, Twin Cities area where it's very very progressive, and I'm super aware of how very lucky I am and how unusual my experience was! I also am aggravated that so many other women have had such a difficult time. It really REALLY shouldn't be this hard to have a tubal! I hate that we are apparently

So, totally worth it then! I am a marathon/ultra runner and I almost have to plan races around the damn period. It seriously is awful and just makes it a misery to do any of my normal stuff. I need to get on that. Thanks for the personal feedback! Most ladies seem to be really happy with them!

I'm in MN and the Planned Parenthood on Hennepin is where I got the referral and was set up for my tubal. The doc who volunteers with them and does the surgeries was amazing. I wonder if we got the same doc? Or maybe MN is just way way better about taking CF folks seriously than other states? Either way, hooray for us

Well, the tubal doesn't stop the lady business mess. I didn't realize ablation was a thing until after my surgery. Dammit. I'm looking into having that done now, since it's not too traumatic and ain't no one got time for Shark Week.

I was wigged by Essure (mostly the insertion and possible painfulness...) and opted instead for a tubal ligation at 27. I reasoned it was very time tested AND I'd be good and knocked out for it! I had the tie and fry method with the laproscopic surgery. Best. Decision. EVER.

So, I have long lashes but I love the look of falsies. I am also TERRIBLE with makeup beyond a beginner level. I need remedial makeup classes or something. I can handle eyeliner (though not liquid and not cat eyes. Yikes. Not good) and your basic curl and mascara on lashes. Eyes are the only thing I bother putting

GOD, this GIF.

Yup. I love Athleta's running skirts. I went from "ptttth, running SKIRT?" to "omg, I need this in all the colors." No chafing, no riding up... I love the Relay, man. I cannot do run shorts and capris are too hot in the Summer. I am this close to buying the Relay capris once Spring comes around again and I can run

When I was still a cashier (thank goodness I'm now in Admin) I always said Happy Holidays for exactly the reasons you note: not everyone is Christian. Also, I'M not Christian, I'm an Atheist. The number of times my cheerful/friendly "have a nice holiday" was met with a hissed, aggressive "MERRY CHRISTMAS" was just

In MN, when we passed the Exotic bill, I believe some private owners were grandfathered in. They cannot breed their animals but they can keep the ones they have. I know that AR/welfarists who worked on the bill weren't happy at some of the loopholes that were left. I think a big one was that they can't get MORE

Servals, caracals and other smaller big cats are wild animals. They are not pets. They should not be pets. They can, and do, suffer inadequate care, declawing, poorly planned and non-appropriate diets, lack of vet care and other things just like the bigger big cats. They also are very capable of fucking someone up, if

When it was revealed that Karen Gillian (Amy Pond on Doctor Who) shaved her head bare for a role the freaking internet *exploded* in a pile of sad boners from fanboys. The sort of crap that was said, as if they owned her and she OWED them prettiness, was just sickening. This just seems to be a Thing.

(OLD post but whatever... Jez linked it or something and I found it way after the fact. ZOMBIE THREAD!)
