I like lanolin instead of Vaseline. http://amzn.com/B005MI648C It' only greasy for about 5 minutes until it sinks in but continues to provide a moisture barrier for hours, even through multiple hand-washings. It's also not oil-based, but it is an animal-based product. Eventually it starts to smell a little off or…

Part of the problem in talking about this as a public policy/health issue is that it tends to get framed as a benefit to women, instead of a benefit to children. Just as there are measurable public benefits to educating all children (yes, I know we only do a so-so job of THAT), there are health, developmental and…

As a knitter, I actually prefer to handwash my "dry-clean only" knits. Better wool washes like Soak and Eucalan don't leave them feeling so scratchy and dried out. A bit of hair conditioner is a great wool softener. You do have to handle wet knits carefully and shape flat to dry, but its not hard once you get the hang…
Salon's coverge of this story points out that a lot of these cases are going untreated although they are highly treatable. Sexually active women are more likely to be seen by physicians. Those scripts for BCPs don't write themselves.
Exactly. The GOP isn't going to abandon this strategy just because its viewing US images in ineffective. They want to put more hoops in the process. They want to shutter clinics that can't afford an(other) US machine to keep up with the mandate.
I'm not sure your understanding of "sensitive" is the same as what the test is talking about. It has to do with how you process sensory input, not falling in love often, etc.
Conservatives, I got your ancedata right here! In the most recent polar vortex, it got to about -10 in my neck of the woods (Pittsburgh). I was also here in the early 90s when it got super-cold and then it reach -22. Sounds like global warming at work to me!
DH has a pair of Neos overshoes. They are bulky, but he finds it easier to put them over his dress shoes than to change when he gets to work.

I knit and have gone to fiber events. The small scale angora yarn producers there do it like this:
My 4 YO has a Nabi — a Android with a kids interface in a ruggedized case. He dropped it over our second story railing. Still works perfectly. No cracks. I was impressed.
I really can't use standard tampons anymore. Too much irritation. I can tolerate the unbleached ones. As much I've loved my Diva cup over the years, since kid #2, it doesn't sit the same just isn't as comfortable. Someday, I'll get around to investigating other cups.
Messier to deal with than a menstrual cup and more likely to leak. They were worthless on my heavy days. I bled right through them.
This only works if you know the person well enough to know what's going well for them.
My sister got me cat food one year. 1. It wasn't actually for me. It was for my cats. 2. She got it for me b/c she didn't approve of the non organic food I was feeding them. In other words it was a gift with a side of judgement. In solidarity, the cats turned their noses up at it.
Don't buy a toy. Buy a $30 rechargeable sweeper. My 4 and 2 YO boys fight over it and it actually picks up some dirt. The stick handle on ours came in 3 pieces. We only used 2 and it's just the right height.
There was an article about diabetes in The Atlantic ages ago (90s?) that talked about how whether one's ancestors had survived famine or scarcity within the last 100-200 years had a huge impact way calories got processed. And how that impacted, not only the propensity of diabetes, but the severity of the symptoms. The…
My first boycotted the highchair starting at about 18 months. We never bothered with a booster. He'd kneel on the chair. We did put him in the armed dining room chairs though, to contain him a bit. Our second is still in the highchair at 2.
