I think my worst week was back in 2006. I was living in Germany with my parents at the time, but had arranged to go to Ireland to visit old friends. I didn’t want to go back but got guilted into it by a friend who had kindly bought me concert tickets. I had to arrange the travel myself. I realise I sound super…

I spent a literal half hour on the toilet today attempting to squeeze out a poop. My right leg was so dead afterwards that I could barely walk. Lucky it was just one leg and not both. I’ve had that before, makes it a real challenge to move. And then the pins and needles start. Yowch.

I get UTIs at the drop of a hat. I tried cranberry supplememts and they did NOTHING to halt the onslaught that I experienced. I was on courses of antibiotics at least 3 times a month when it was at its worst. All sex related, of course. Curse the pitifully short female urethra. One time, I had finished a treatment…

I used to live with two jerks who never covered their mouths to cough. Ever. If ever one of them had a cold, the whole house was guaranteed to catch it. Whenever I had a cough, they’d threaten me that there’d be hell to pay if they caught it. They never caught anything off me, because I’m a considerate adult that…

I made a really silly picture that I can’t explain, but hopefully my fellow Jezebellers will like it!

That’s a really clever idea! I might have to give that a go, thanks for the suggestion!

Thank youuuu! I believe there is something I could get, though I’ll be damned if I remember the name of it! It’s a pair of rubber thimble-like things that you wear on your finger and thumb, so that pushing and pulling a needle is that much easier to do. I’ve only seen them once so I have no idea how common they are!

I recently completed this bookmark based on a Steven Universe titlecard. Was a nightmare to do, as I kept losing concentration, and also plastic canvas is murder on the old fingeroonies!

Okay, well this whole article took me by surprise. Mainly because I thought Olivia Newton-John was dead. When I first saw Grease as a kid, my mom told me she died and I guess I just never questioned it. So now I’m questioning EVERYTHING MY MOTHER EVER TOLD ME.

What is going on with his eye colour? Is that yellow? Beige? Magnolia? That’s not a normal eye colour, at least not for humans. AND FURTHERMORE his eyes are a different colour in that second photo of him. I believe he may be one of the lizard people, and allowing him to travel into space would be highly irresponsible.…

I’m in a straight relationship where me and my SO talk about Star Trek after sex. #ujelly

I currently live in Ireland, and the UK is my fallback plan if my two methods of birth control fail. Repealing the 8th is absolutely necessary, in my opinion. Because while Ireland doesn’t allow abortion (except where the mother’s life is in danger, and even then it’s a matter of debate because a minimum of 2 doctors…

I must’ve gotten a very unique experience, because my VHS of it was entirely on one tape. No switching for me, I’m not a caveman after all. Very civilized here, yes sir. I also have it on DVD. And I had the soundtrack on a cassette tape. And I had stacks of books about the film and the real event. And I had a Revell…

I gotta disagree that Orange is well-paced. I found it utterly glacial. In the first episode there’s a 15 second shot of a manhole cover- 10 seconds before a character enters the frame.

As a non-swimmer (never learned, don’t trust water, etc etc), I’ve always really liked just floating, it’s a pleasant sensation. In my experience, it allowed me a small bit of the socialisation you get from swimming with friends, but you also get the nice feeling of floating around!

It really is bogglingly annoying! I think I’ve been given the “but you’ll regret it” line before. I have very sincere doubts that I will. I don’t even like kids! I think I’d regret it more if I DID have any.

Holy shit what an amazing conversation stopper! Gonna try and get that in the next time the topic emerges.

It seems to be a persistent line of questioning. I find it offensive because it feels like I’m being told that I’m not in charge of my body and life decisions. Is that ridiculous?

Ugh, being told to force the issue is just... bad advice. It sucks that having had a hysterectomy is the only way you’ve made any headway in the argument though :( And I hope your bf’s mom isn’t sizing up your worth based on your fertility! That sounds like a really sucky situation to be in!

That’s a damn fine way of putting it! Just... accept that the attitude won’t change, and move on from there. It definitely isn’t worth cutting people out over, like you said!
