I couldn't remember any of the ones I'd heard about. I wish I was on bc right now, cause my periods were so light and regulated when I was taking it. But we are trying to have a kid, so I'm stuck riding it out. I had only tried the regular two-hormone pill kind, not any of the others. I was interested in the patch…

Man, I didn't even think of googling. I just let the curiosity burn in me while I morosely clicked on open tabs. All the meds I'm on are making me kinda slow today. Thanks for the link, it was fascinating reading!

I've been trying to star your reply for the last fifteen minutes, but your joke was so bloody funny it broke my internet.

I'm less interested in how she does her hair in space than I am in how a woman deals with a period in space. I wonder if any of the women in pace have used the bc that gets rid of periods for 3 months at a time? And it hasn't always been available, so both astronauts and cosmonauts have had to deal with periods in…

Bojangles spices things up a little too heavily for my tastes, but they do make an agreeable second-choice if I'm feeling like a little burning-mouth in the morning. But I didn't know they even did a pork chop biscuit at all, even if only seasonally.

Came for this, leaving happy.

I'm going to have to go ahead and say that I had the BEST breakfast fast food item today. Down here in North Carolina there is this tiny chain of restaurants known as Biscuitville. They do one thing, and they do it EXTREMELY WELL. Fuck Chick Fil A, I had two Porkchop Biscuits this morning, and they were heavenly. I…

*nod* Someone upthread linked me to the same poem. I think it's awesome that it's a whole thing. I never knew, and now it's even cooler. It's like a childhood memory just expanded. It's neat.

Niiiiiicceeeee. I can't believe I've never heard that one!

Oh my god, there's more? I NEVER KNEW. Now I have to learn it and recite it to my father in a bad Swedish accent.

Are you of Swedish or Nordic descent? Both my sets of grandparents were immigrants from Sweden, with a bit of German and Irish for spice.

Can I star this with all the stars ever? Cause I burst out laughing at that. That's awesome. I'm going to remember that and share it when I have a 7 year old, along with my Ten Thousand Swedes joke.

Probably being 7. It's mostly the accent, which means it's super unfunny just written out like that. : / I wish I could just transport everyone into my past. That trip to Disney World was the BEST.

Yeash, they did what to the Swiss Family Robinson house? I've not been back since 2004! I miss all of Epcot Center, though. It was my favorite place ever. When we went in 2004 it was me and my mom and brother, all as adults, and I got to watch my brother try and drink his way through the world. It was... interesting.…

I'd be more surprised, but really, this is Disney World. They have an entire water park modeled after an Alpine Ski Resort, with so much blinding white fake snow everywhere that you get triple the sun burn just from the reflection of the Florida Sun. Of course they are going to milk the Frozen cow as long and hard as…

Oh, my, so... how into hypnosis porn are you? Cause... my husband is part of the hypnosis/robot/dollification scene, and he wrote THE faq. He's been on TV twice for it, and I was with him for the second one. He knows wayyyy too much about hypnosis kink. He runs a hypnosis kink store on Second Life, even. I'm curious…

It is a right hassle changing the man's name, and the entrenched patriarchal thread that causes the issues the article mentions are pretty prevalent in marriage name-taking as well. Me and my husband decided to come up with a new last name, and he had to change his name through the courts, with federal and state…

That is always how it's been described to me. I've gone to some other protestant churches, and they do seem more removed from Catholicism. I've gone to Catholic Mass as well. There was always this feeling that Lutheranism had some of the pagentry and ritual, just not all of it. There's a lot of that feeling from…

But Lutherans are the most banal of all Christians! They are Catholic Lite Lite! Or is it the tenuous tie to Catholicism? Or... well, watch out if you run into a Missouri Synod Lutheran. But my Lutheran childhood was really... so... boringly pedestrian. I slid right into agnostic paganism with such ease. Look,…

My mom chose my first name and my dad chose my middle name, something for which I am forever grateful. My mom named me after her cousin, Jennifer Jills, whom they called Jenny Jills, which to this day still sets my teeth on edge for some reason. My dad intervened and my middle name became Rebecca, which is nice…
