Could it be the weather changes? I’m really sensitive to drastic weather fronts and fast changes, and I tend to get sluggish and chills when they happen. This winter has been terrible for that, I’ve been feeling feverish nearly once a week. We’ve been swinging wildly from negative wind chills to fifty degrees.

And because I really shouldn’t forget about my very first feline child, here’s a very intelligent looking Stupid Cat. She’s over a decade old and she hunts laundry while we’re sleeping.

This picture is not sideways. This is him lying on his back.

I’m just praying that my Mirena takes this time around. My last period felt far more like an angry Viking uterus than I like, but if this Mirena can just stay in, I’m golden.

Oh! I guess my latent paranoia is showing.

I don’t think it’s possible to know what would work if there was such an emergency situation. I’m just assuming that having some kind of global identification, even if expired, would be better then nothing if shit hit the fan and there’s a mass run for the border. Then again, I’m probably just telling myself this to…

I hear you. My grandpa survived the Holocaust because the Soviets arrested him and put him in a gulag first, and then he came home to his village after the war, only to find that Nazis had wiped out his family.

My husband needs to renew his and the mini schwa doesn’t have one yet, but I’ll be pushing to get that done asap. I’ll be a bit twitchy until that’s done, but I suppose it helps that my husband has an expired passport and we’ve got mini’s birth certificate and records on hand. It won’t help us for a vacation, but it’s…

I never thought I’d be so happy again to live 30 minutes away from the Canadian border. A long time ago, it was because I was 19, and the Canadian drinking age is 19. Now, it’s become my escape route in case of absolute American failure. 

And just think of how many people were in the same position as you were, who now have a pre-existing condition and no protections. So many more people to deny insurance to.

I think it may work for some, especially the ones who don’t follow politics or just vote republican because there is an R next to the name or vote completely on a single issue. I unfortunately know a few.

So, here’s my guess on why the republicans are pushing for the repeal so fast: they want to play both sides of the coin, aka getting credit for repealing the ACA while also fooling voters who like the ACA provisions.

Trump is going to be so mad when he finds that out. His temper tantrum will probably require a time out AND no treat snacks before bedtime.

He’s going to hate it, but that actually alarms me, because he’s the type of guy who would throw a tantrum and fuck us all over just to get revenge. Just look at how he’s handing cabinet seats to wildly unqualified people, just because they support him and donated.

Trump is linking himself with Russia and a Kennedy, and the GOP is just smiling, nodding, and acting like all is well. Sure, they toss around a few concerned phrases, but it’s more like a schoolgirl playing hard to get.

If Hitler had never come into power and the Holocaust never happened, I would not be here. If the Soviets had never created gulags and forced people into them, I would not be here. 

Ugggggh. It’s discomforting to think that there are more incompetent dentists in this world. I pray that mine never retires or dies.

Was she Russian with a thick accent and hated sugar with a passion? I’d get long lectures for consuming anything that might have touched sugar in a past life. Yet braces were considered cosmetic, even though my molars are so crowded together that I physically cannot floss between some teeth, and I recently chipped a…

Maybe you could try a progestin only pill to see if it causes outbreaks? I dunno, my skin got better on the combo pill but then I went nuts and my entire pelvis imploded two weeks out of every month. Estrogen gives me fabulous skin but it wasn’t worth it in the end.

Not really pushed out, more or less fell out. But I’m also an exceptional case. This is my fifth Mirena. My first one, pre-baby, stayed in for four and a half years. It was the best thing ever, I would not be on number five if it wasn’t.
