    So...I took an Uber home about two weeks ago and lived to tell the tale. It was uneventful. The guy was nice, car was clean and he took me exactly where I needed and nothing else happened.

    I honestly wonder when we're all long gone and the archives are opened, if future generations will think EVERYONE who lived during this time was fucking stupid based on the idiotic ramblings of almost every person on the political right.

    OH, I'm not saying that IUDs are THEE cure for endo or the best treatment either. I'm just saying that the crap I had to go through - anemia, awful periods, bloody clothes, embarrassment all throughout HS - is something that was terrible enough for me to consider more options than just Motrin 500, a heating pad and

    Yeah, that's true. It doesn't stop ovulation, but I thought in thining the lining of the uterus, that would have helped give the endo much less to bind to over time. At least that's my uneducated theory based on limited knowledge at this time.

    Sure. I say this mostly as a person with endo and not as a medical professional. But, since the IUD is much like the pill (SOME of them...not all. Some bc pills can make endo worse) in that when taken continuously, it can eliminate periods and thin the endometrial lining of the uterus, having an IUD as a long term

    If I had a daughter, I might go this route for this reason above anything else...fibroids. I've had them all my life and my family just thought I was being over-dramatic. I rationalized that all periods felt like the build up period to the second coming of Christ and I should just suck it up. It wasn't until I was

    Nah. In this case it seems to be just a solid response to a stupid question.

    I legit hollered when I read that. Still laughing!!!

    Agreed!

    Agreed

    IDK y'all. I know Rob has been depressed but I don't think he's the ONLY one in need of some serious help. He's kinda like the scapegoat for whole bunch of family issues that need to be addressed...starting right at the top with Kris.

    I see two sides to this. One, approaching anyone in a group can be intimidating...whether it's meant to be or not. So I could see how she might be thinking, "uh...no." Two, the climate is already hostile to her so while they might have been sincere, she was right to have her guard up.

    LMAO!

    Yeah, no. While white Greek frats are making their awfulness known on a larger scale, black frats are equally as nauseating in their misogyny and elitism...and I say this as a member of a black sorority (which has its own problems as well).

    Yeah, it's INSANE down here. I'm a solid size 6 and sometimes STILL feel like "damn...am I doing enough?" But, then I realize that there is no way I need to exercise more, eat less, etc. Shit, I'm good. But, living down here will have you jacked up mentally if you don't have a good sense of self and a healthy self

    As will I.

    Usable beaches... That is correct. They are there but no one really goes to them. I should have specified.

    I'm from the midwest and I think it's just a place where people are more mellow about what you/they look like. It's not a hub of fitness, there are no beaches, there a lot of different people race-wise, ethnically, etc and many of them have old school families who passed down their version of what a woman should look

    Yeah, he looked old as hell when he was younger. He looks the same now so it's seemed like he's been old forever. I wonder what he'll look like at 60?

    It's because he's looked the same since he was in his early 20's when his album debuted in '93.
