Well, multiple studies have found that there is a link between hormonal birth control and depression and anxiety, as well as halve the size of a woman’s ovaries and change the shape of their brains, but I guess that’s none of our business.

But all this is missing the point. The point is that you don’t get to kill a baby no matter how old it is. You are denying the science which clearly shows that that “thing” inside the woman is a human life, a real live baby. Killing it is abuse.

Just hit a big milestone: $200k net worth! $107k of that is in retirement accounts. I’m turning 30 this year, so I’m right on track with my goals. I’m way above average for the following factors:

Same! I wish this article touched on more of the benefits of using FABMs - particularly understanding your body and what’s really happening during your cycle. My charts showed me I was likely low on progesterone (short luteal phase when I started charting) and working to fix that has done wonders for my cramps and…

What the article doesn’t touch on well enough is that using these methods can really help you understand what your body is up to and why it works. If you used the sympto-thermal method for example, you would know why your cycles vary in length. You’d see that you’re either ovulating later than normal, earlier than…

Hormone based therapy isn’t ‘masking’ symptoms, but actually treating a myriad of clinical disorders, PCOS and endometriosis being the most common.

Why would I? We went 10 years without an issue, not even a real scare.

My husband and I have used the sympto-thermal method for years. We have had zero unplanned pregnancies and now one planned pregnancy.

This is such good information. I was always “late” or “early” and then my mom would scold me for ruining my underwear. This whole thread is making me realize what a messed up adolescence I had.

In the greater-Cincinnati area, there is a breakfast meat called Goetta. I grew up eating that stuff and make sure to get myself some whenever I’m visiting up there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goetta

I tried blending a soup with a kitchen towel and it tasted horrible. Not to mention all the towel fibers got stuck between my teeth :(

Yep, I set kanban levels for many of the staples in our pantry, and maintain strict FIFO to avoid throwing stuff out. Both interesting lessons for my sons — my older one is getting the hang of it now, but it boggles my younger boy's mind that I'd buy more bread when there's a loaf in the pantry...

i'm sorry :(. I love turbulence. It is like a free roller coaster ride :)

I agree with you on this one. I like to have things lined up horizontally/perpendicularly, which isn't possible with round things.

I adore the photo you imposed this quote on. Good choice.

I like to give my nephews obscure currency for performing mundane tasks that I do not want to do, or to perform tricks. This has an added bonus of confusing their parents money centered counting lessons and creating awkward situations for the children when they try to decide if they should use the $2 bill I gave them…

Maybe that anxiety is the source of your creativity!
