I too, wish there was a test or something. Cycling through four kinds the first time I tried BCPs was truly a grim slog, especially the Ortho-Tricyclen, which I think is not sold anymore. I think too many women got pregnant. It made me crazy — like, rage meltdowns on street corners crazy. Back then, I finally…

McMansion HELL IS MY NEW GO-TO WHENEVER I NEED A GOOD LAUGH!

That’s not a chicken. It’s a baby T-Rex before loses its feathers.

Goodness gracious. Well, I’m going to stop handing out gratuitous advice, and just give you sympathy. This sound like a tough row to hoe.

Oh, well, that’s good, then. It sounds like you and your doctor will eventually get it figured out.

This is a very good question! I would be asking it, too! Yeep!

Aha, I understand. Fan thing, Very tough.

Gosh, I’m sorry, but I don’t know what Postmates is. If it’s like Lyft or Uber, and mostly computer-based, you can still call them on the phone and demand to speak to them. Find out if you can block him (tell them he was abusive or whatever, you don’t have to go into any details.) If they won’t, maybe you can…

You deserve some good luck!

Seconded.

Oh, that is too bad. RIP, hero dance cop.

I went through something like this, but because I was old, I had to spend the waiting time while an inpatient at the hospital. My blood pressure never went up that high, though! Holy cow!

Holy crap, dementia or Alzheimer’s does not cause someone to gain 40 lbs of water weight. Maybe one of the pills she is taking is giving her kidney failure? If she’s old enough to be on Medicare, I have a radical suggestion: find a time when you have like a day to spend, and one of your friends or relatives can…

You know, I love my country with a passion, but Canada is very nice in the spring. If people who are able to skip can boycott and let the State Department or Congress know, it will help put pressure on these racist fuckers.

If you haven’t watched 30 Rock lately, it really holds up. I also love, love Parks and Rec.

This is awesome. The modest changes the you can live with that you are making are definitely the way to go. Kudos!

You may also have a virus, or some windows open that are running video feeds without your knowledge. Video is very heating for most laptops. You can download several free apps that will tell you the temperature of your computer while you are using it, and you can compare the results you get to industry standards for…

Lifting weights will help you so much in the long run, you’ll be shocked and amazed. But it can have some weird side effects in the short run (like, the first three weeks.) You may need more sleep. You may retain some extra water at first. You may find yourself getting more hungry between meals. Interestingly,…

Taking BCPs, even though you are technically having a cycle, should shut down your natural cycle of hormones over time and replace it with an artificial one. This should give you relief from your hormone-related depression. I see that folks are suggesting that you skip the blank pills and just stay on the hormones…

I cannot go a single week without a picture of her! So cute!
