I've read stories like this before and I've never understood how women end up with multiple tampons inside them. Again, maybe my body's weird but 2 simply wouldn't fit. I would definitely feel the first one pushing against my cervix.

Yes, me! I understand why women love them and I understand their practicality but I just don't like them.

That reminds of Breast and Testicles Day in my 9th grade health class. The teacher passed out silicone breasts and testicles so we could learn about self-exams. There was a lot of embarrassed giggling that day.

I'm not even sure about abortion or contraception in a bio textbook. That seems more appropriate for a health class. IMO, bio just needs to egg + sperm = baby. Also, info about how the gametes are form, conception occurs, and maybe some introduction to fetal development.

We had the fundamentals of sex/puberty when I was 10. I think 12 is probably a little late because a lot, if not most, girls have started puberty by that point.

I respectfully disagree.

Nope, that's incorrect.

But is there any better feeling than when you finally make it to a bathroom? Oh, the sweet, sweet release.

I actually think the tub would be preferable - easier to clean and disinfect.

There was a dominance issue with another cat I had. However, that cat died 2.5 years ago. I would like him to adapt already. Guess I should be glad that he has the consideration to poop next to the box instead of leaving gross surprises around the house.

Hmmph. Let when there's a way to get my cat to stop pooping next to the litter box. Twelve years, man . . .

If I what I learned from Frasier is correct, you add crushed eggshells to the coffee grounds in a standard drip coffee maker.

Yes. I desperately need warm, crusty bread with a generous portion of butter. Now.

I've been meaning to try but now I guess I have to scratch it off my list.

I literally didn't know what my natural hair looked like until my early 30s. When I was a kid, it was straightened with a hot comb. I started getting it relaxed when I was a young teen. I can manage a basic wash and go style but beyond that I'm lost. Not sure what I'd do if I had a daughter although it'd be easier to…

I wondered if that's was the case after I posted. If that is where the $1.4 million came from, it seems unrealistic to assume that every dollar not spent on grooming products would be invested.

The problem is when you imply that women who don't wear makeup look like slobs. I don't think the article implied that anyone should forgo basic hygiene. Clean and neat is a minimum for everyone, male or female. Women's hair generally takes more time but that will vary with the cut/style chosen. In most industries,…

I posted something similar. I don't have proof but the women who appear to spend the most on their appearance are those in service jobs. The women who are higher up tend not to have time to fuss with their appearance that much. They just don't have time.

Absolutely. I'm in favor of letting little girls be kids. I just remember always having to worry about my hair. Because it took so long to do, you always had to mindful of not getting too sweaty or dirty or getting caught in the rain. On top of that, little girls were always chided to mess up our clothes while the…

yeah, unless in missing something, these numbers are way off. 3% of $50,000 is $1,500. Over 30 years, that's only $45,000. That's not nothing but it's a long way off from $1.4 million.
