Am I the only one who gets her period whether she skips the placebo week or not? Granted it’s much lighter when I keep taking the regular pills, but it still comes. I just do the placebo week so that at least I control when it happens then.

The credit card method looks horrific....for the love of god just pour salt on them and they let go on their own. Minimal to no bleeding.

When I check my 457(b) I just wince when I see how much money it’s lost this quarter—-when the markets stabilize, will I ever get that back? And is it wise to contribute less when it's losing so much money?
