Eat at the Museum of the American Indian! Their cafeteria has food from lots of different tribes and it’s so.good. The museum is awesome too, but I love going there for lunch if I’m in DC on the mall.

My mental health has been absolute shit lately for good reason, but oddly enough since I have been incapable of dealing with my mental health, my physical health is the best it has been in ages since it’s the only thing I can control!

This was me until I was about 20.

I really like aerie too! I have a relatively ‘easy’ size to fit (32D/DD) which makes life a little easier. But I have SUPER sloping shoulders and for pretty much every bra I have ever owned, the straps have fallen off my shoulders and it’s a constant battle to keep them up. I do not have this problem with aerie and…

They do exist. They are special and should be appreciated.

Free play is rockin’ sauce and to me, VERY important to leading to adults who self entertain, don’t get ‘bored’ and are the people who are fine sitting through jury duty without a mumble because hey, it means reading time!

Having coworkers who would run a vegan restaurant if they had the spare time, and who raise their kids in a ‘free play learning everywhere education system’ (I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS)*, I’m going to say that the kid probably did show the patrons its butthole. And the other kid probably did yoddle.

There are more treatments available (one’s in our fridge right now, actually) and his doctor is always really adept at letting us know what is bad vs. ‘this seems really bad but is actually really normal in treatment progression’. So there is still hope. But the great, wonderful, cure is probably not doing it.

I’m not really sure. Some of his tumors are larger and there are new mets. We meet with his doctor tomorrow so we’ll see what they have to say.

Nope. I didn’t have to work for the first time in a decade on my birthday (today) which should have been awesome. But we got my fiance’s scan results back and his cancer is spreading, meaning his treatment is most likely not working.

There are risk factors and hormonal birth control is unfortunately not for everyone. But it is for A LOT of people. The likelihood is that through trial and error, most women can find one that works with them with few to no side effects. It took me a few tries to find one that worked for me, and I consider only having…

Oh yeah, I’m not dealing with that again. IUD is amazing, and I’ll do the pain again, but I don’t have to? So I won’t.

Truth be told, I LOVE MY IUD. Like LOVE LOVELOVE. No more periods? No more remembering to do things? No more refills? Seriously limited side effects? FABULOUS.

aw heck. Hand me the valium goddamn it.

Oh, man, with you there. I will be more drugged for extraction. I find it supremely ridiculous that IUD insertions are ‘well, just deal with it’. THIS IS BULLSHIT. I know vasectomies are more substantial and involve legit cutting and what have you, but before that you get a valium and after some high test pain meds if…

Ughhhh. I’m sorry and my cervix is in solidarity. I’m glad you’re open to options and finding something that will work for you. Every type of hormonal BC has good, bad, and ugly and it is a testing procedure to find what works and suits your needs. People saying IUDs will make you infertile, hormonal BC in general…

Uft. I’m sorry. My IUD insertion was successful and even so I ended up passing out on the table (DAMN YOU VEGUS NERVE) and feeling like my uterus was trying to find ways out for the rest of the day.

You couldn’t get me out of the water when I was a kiddo, thanks to my mom making me get swimming lessons as soon as I was allowed.

I was a rubbish reader through elementary school. My reading comprehension was fine, but I couldn’t (and still can’t, oddly enough) read out loud and I found most books meant for my age group kind of meh. Because being good at reading when you’re young meant reading out loud, I figured I was bad at reading and didn’t…

I think that’s where I’m at. I guess I just assumed from the way it was described it would be more drastic, but as you said, it did deal with the cracking heel annoyance. So maybe I can put my socks on and off without the fibers getting caught on my gross hard sharp heel skin.
