Defunding Planned Parenthood hurts women, hurts children, and hurts families as a whole.

I just mentioned this above. With exception to the whole Palin thingy, McCain looks like a pinko commie compared to this group.

This whole election makes me pine for the days of McCain and Mittens. Sure, they were nuts. Yes, McCain brought us Palin. I voted for neither of them. But damn, they come off as “reasonable” compared to the current crop, and that is frightening.

Our crazy cat is lovingly nicknamed “Shithead”. He’s a true pain in the ass, knocks things over at night because his food bowl is 1/3 empty, drinks our drinks, is loud, scratches when he gets excited, chews on everything, fights with everything that exists, fights with things that don’t exist, sits on us at night*,…

Hahaha! I’m married to a nurse, so there are very few discussions that don’t devolve into vagina/penis/poop/blood/OMGWTF?! stories. Last funeral we attended, he ended up exchanging horror stories with a medical assistant about automatic penis pump deflation in elderly men, and patients attempting to escape. My vagina…

I appreciate your non-science understanding. It’s very logical. However, I believe that I’m going to stick to my story of a feuding colon and uterus. It just makes a better story than “my hormones and cramps are causing smelly poops dear, so no, we’re not having sexy times at the moment”.

I’m pretty sure short vagina is a thing, at the very least, I’ve heard of it in menstrual cup discussions. My husband felt the strings for the first month or so, but after that, he rarely felt them. (That’s actually how I found out about the expulsion. One would think that it would hurt or that I would feel in. In…

You’re right, I glossed over the mention of Paraguard for some reason. In my defense, I’m currently in the beginning stages of PMS. But yeah, totally different.

I had the opposite experience. I had been on the pill most of my adult life and, while it kinda sorta sometimes helped my period pain, it was absolutely terrible. So I got my Mirena installed and holy carp! Night and day. After a week of adjusting pain, nearly all of my period pain was gone. It was beautiful.

What the hell is up with that? It isn’t bad enough that I’m bleeding, but my colon has to get in on the action as well? Like, is it feeling left out, because the uterus is throwing a fit about building up a baby cozy and I had the audacity to not get pregnant, so the colon just decides that it too needs attention? Or…

Not easier, not always possible, but usually just as free: see/care for someone at the absolute worst moment of their life. I’m not talking about stomach flu. I’m talking about the stuff that can crack anyone: deaths, hospitalizations for serious illness, house burned down, crazy family epic implosions, etc. That’s…

My kidlet loves Elsa. She also doesn’t know all the words to the song, so her version is “Let it go, Oh no!” and she sings it over and over again.

This, plus the news that Flint’s old Emergency Manager Earley has resigned (he was running Detroit Public Schools) because he’s refusing to testify, is making my day.

Back in my day (admittedly, not that long ago), when I wanted to be a cat, I just saved my money for cat ears, tails, costume accessories, and then just attended anime conventions with friends. I may have looked/acted/talked like a weirdo, but nobody could pick me out of that crowd today.

He just pissed off pretty much every mother with a brain in the district. She knows that he’ll be getting plenty of f-bombs (or strongly worded scoldings from those less inclined to cuss) in various formats from many other people. She can smugly restrain herself, knowing this.

I got brutally honest about it after I got over the worst. I had postpartum depression/psychosis* and the end result was a week vacation on the mental ward. Nobody caught it for eight months, and it was caught by my normal psychologist who has no training or experience with it. And this was after I had been…

Good for you! When I was young, nearly all of my doctors had that sort of “need-to-know” mentality. I hated going to the doctor, my primary would blow me off constantly, or do one test and, if that test was negative, she would just be like “Eh....you’re good”. When stuff started to get serious, I switched my primary…

Thank you, especially for the information. It was a long time ago, but sometimes I still try and find answers. I’d never heard of this before, so you’re doing a great job at bringing up awareness.

Are there any other symptoms, like vomiting? A sibling of mine died in his sleep and the autopsy showed absolutely nothing. I don’t remember any seizure-like behavior, but I do remember that he was vomiting before he died. He was also autistic, so it was hard to get him to express how he felt, we just assumed stomach…

Okay, the Skylar Deleon guy isn’t fair on this list. He was a minor character in one episode.
