Are those those Instead things? I actually don't use any feminine hygiene products at all since I had my Mirena installed. It is awesome. I am sure that will give me a severe stinkeye from those Texans. You know, because IUDs cause abortions and all..... (insert eyeroll)

Will there be a tent city of menstrual huts erected at the edge of every town and city in Texas now??

Those are too expensive to toss at people!

My husband deep fries oreos dipped in pancake batter for a treat. They are to. die. for. Also delicious are the deep-fried maple leaf sandwich cookies that are served with ice cream and caramel and chocolate sauce at a sports bar here.

What a beautiful gift! Thank you for sharing.
