No, no, he expects “safe spaces” for him and his people, and THEN the participation trophies get passed out.

My grandfather was a Holocaust survivor who was “saved” by Stalin. Basically, Stalin put him in a gulag before the Nazi’s marched through Eastern Europe. Needless to say, he wasn’t a fan of either Stalin nor Hitler.

I don’t know if it’s unique to the States or not, but I’ve noticed a common theme with deniers: they are either ignorant or willfully ignore the difference between climate and weather. When it snows, they claim that warming is disproven. When it gets hot, they shout that summers are supposed to be hot.

But...it’s snowing in places! Explain that! /s

What if that’s their end game? The GOP saw that nothing they said about Obama was coming true, so they supported the most inept person they could (maybe whispering in his ear to encourage a presidential run?) and feeding him false knowledge and confidence, knowing full well that it would be a disaster, but at the same…

I agree that sharing experiences, both positive and negative, are important. Personally, I think the reason that the cheering squad is so vocal is because the IUD has so many myths surrounding it and so many try to compensate for that. I told a friend of mine that I have the IUD and she freaked out, because she was…

Maybe. If you can, look up or ask your doctor about the hormone combinations from previous pills that you’ve tried, and then compare to the hormones in Mirena. IIRC, Mirena is progesterone only, so if you were on estrogen containing pills and had a bad experience, Mirena might be worth trying.

It can be a solution for some pelvic conditions. Mirena helps with my cysts more than any other BC that I’ve tried and it’s also the only hormonal BC that doesn’t interfere with my sex drive at all.

Eh...some women bleed throughout pregnancy, and it can be mistaken for a period. That’s what happened to my mom. She found out that she was 6 or 7 months pregnant with me at a random gyn appointment where they made her take the test.

ADHD and daily, exactly timed pills don’t go together very well. Remember to take this daily at the same time each day? HA! The question should be, did I even remember to fill it this month?

I believe that it was once thought that the IUD could “invite” more infections and/or aggravate things like STIs or PID, or that the strings could harbor infections. Since then, it’s been shown that neither is true. I bet that the Dalkon Shield fiasco left doctors with a heaping dose of caution when the new generation…

My first IUD, before having the mini schwa, was painful. Not dying pain, but I was on the couch for a few days with pain crankies. It certainly was not a deal breaker and I can honestly say that I’ve had worse gas pains than that.

It feels similar to a group of teens who are obsessed with a boy band. Each teen has their favorite, and each respects the others favorite, everyone can make a decent case for their side, but they often squabble over who the best boy band member is. Except now it’s replaced by the worst, it just makes everyone more…

I quit smoking the Monday before the election. That didn’t last. That didn’t even last 48 hours.

The problem is (as I see it, from my own conversations with people), people know that history repeats itself, but many also believe that it repeats itself verbatim. I cannot count the amount of times I’ve heard someone say this week that Trump cannot be like Hitler, because Trump isn’t as eloquent in his speeches.…

I was beyond furious when I found out. It was a decade later when all the stuff came to light, so not much could be done at that point. It was just more salt rubbed into a very tender wound.

As bad as this is, it isn’t even close. The worst week of my life was the night my brother died in his sleep. He was five years old and just...died. Of nothing. The autopsy brought up absolutely nothing*. I can still hear my mom screaming, he was already stiff and blue when she found him. She couldn’t even speak, I…

I wonder if anyone has told him that yet.

Did Christie actually think he’d stay on the team? He was useful-ish before, but now Trump has no reason to keep him around. Loyalty and friendship aren’t exactly things that Trump is known for, let alone the scandal cloud that hangs over Christie’s head. 

That’s pretty much what I did (or tried to do), I just didn’t explain it clearly above. We had a chat on how sometimes people do mean things and they should apologize and make it right afterwards, and that sometimes people do mean things and don’t apologize or they don’t stop doing mean things. (The conversation had a…
