OMG! Your poor cousin!!!

I lived for my Tevas because I could adjust all the straps as needed to accommodate foot swelling from day to day.

I don't usually use pads but when I do I just roll them in on themselves and then wrap the outside in toilet paper.

Yes, exactly like that! Why aren't those sold right next to the tampons in every drug store???

Right there with you. That's how I was taught and how I taught my daughter. If the tampon has a plastic applicator the applicator goes in the trash but I've always flushed the tampon itself. Seems like the blood would soak right through TP. If we aren't supposed to flush tampons then why aren't they selling us little…

I just use pain old hand soap or my bar soap if I'm in the shower. (May seem gross to some but I figure dumping and washing the cup in the shower is efficient use of my morning time.)

I'm guessing that the goal is to intimidate non-whites? I can't imagine that the local racist recruiting committee really thought this was a way to bring people around to their way of thinking. "Huh, genocide... you know Bobby, I always thought those white supremacists were a bunch of ignorant losers but maybe they're…

I'm ignorant too. I found this quote in the source article that cleared it up some for me:

Yes please!!

Exactly! They don't need to go to jail or have their lives ruined but I'm all for the police scaring the shit out of them so that they learn not to do something this stupid again.

Add lifting weights (can deform the band) and martial arts (could scratch someone) and I'm right there with you. Only other time I leave them at home is when swimming in the ocean. I'm always worried about them sliding off in the waves. Probably wouldn't happen but since I only go to the beach a few days out of the…

Why don't you just leave it on your finger? I take mine off when swimming in the ocean but other than that it's pretty much on my hand unless I'm doing something where any jewelry would be unsafe.

When I was there a few years ago there were plenty of grown women without kids there. Some were even dressed in period costumes and everything. So, you might be weird but you wouldn't be alone.

Are you looking at rings with diamonds in them? I'd think there would be tons of good options without stones for way less than that. Heck, if he likes non traditional metals like titanium you can probably find nice rings for $50.

I paid for my sister's bridesmaid dress for my wedding because she was still in school and broke. I didn't pay for the other bridesmaids though and I paid for all of the bridesmaid dresses I wore. That was normal and expected.

Yes, exactly! I don't like the bare look in front but I like the bare feel underneath. I've been too shy to try waxing because I didn't know what kind of appointment to schedule and couldn't imagine trying to explain on the phone that I wanted half a Brazilian wax.

The issue is more that American docs aren't used to dealing with uncut penises so they are very quick to jump to "cut it off" instead of "put this cream on it for a few days."

This. I didn't even have my daughter's ears pierced until she was old enough to want it and care for them. Cutting off my son's foreskin seems like a bigger deal than ear piercing so why would I do that before he could make an informed choice to consent?

Makes sense if you figure it's usually moms making the final decision. Once you've decided you don't want anyone to think you might have made the wrong choice so you get super defensive of whichever side you are on.

Yes, this. The rule should not be no leggings because boys will think you look sexy. The rule should just be no leggings because leggings as pants are not appropriate at school. Lots of things that you might wear to the gym are not appropriate at school or anywhere else besides the gym and your house.
