I had numbness from medication on top of Lyme neuropathy, and I can say for sure that not being able to feel your feet sucks. I could barely walk barefoot! Someone would step all over my toes and I'd have no idea. I love and wear the hell out of heels, but no thanks.

Needles was for the sake of exaggeration, but you know, it sure feels like it!

I know! I got drunk and broke my foot when I was young and stupid, and WALKED ALL OVER THE PLACE on it.

Why does Jezebel always have to make me feel like my affinity for high heels makes me some sort of "bad feminist"? Sigh. Haters gonna hate.

Yeah. As a matter of fact, us diabetics regularly have doctors poke us in the feet with needles to see if we feel pain, cause not feeling pain could lead to horrible untreated injuries.

Right? People with diabetes are rubbing their heads right now.

Don't take it away from the rest of us! I've been stealing various meds from my dentist in my own home-based foot numbing program. Now, I can finally be legit!

A thousand times yes! I didn't discover him until "Pacific Rim" and now I'm obsessed with Hercules Hansen. All in spite of that dodgy-as-hell attempt at an Australian accent. Who cares with those arms?

Yep, pregnant right now due to the withdrawal method. Don't even think about it, people. I even asked my OB for a diaphragm, but she laughed in my face and said that "no one uses them anymore." When will Vasalgel ever be ready?

I can top that (not that it needs topping and I apologize for how obnoxious that concept is...) and introduce you to my adult child who is a result of Norplant, an inept doctor who put it in too late and told me to go ahead and bonk 24 hours later...and a shady medical practice that assured my nervous 21 year old self…

Oh man. This reminds me I used to use the sponge. I never got pregnant, but so many BV infections. Gah.

A buddy conceived twins that way.

I take an Ativan before every flight because I am scared to death the kid is going to annoy people. She never does*, but I have serious anxiety over it.

He is definitely ADORABLE

I'd like to see him battle this guy.

This thing is definitely possessed. Watch your back, Wenchette!

Sochi is going to be infinitely less fun with him not skating.

If Weir's working for the Russian government then they've been trolling us hard with that anti-gay thing.

I think the fact that she started out by ordering native craftspeople to produce what she wanted and selling them at a profit was.... maybe an early indicator that she wasn't going to be the worlds greatest employer. :/
