I was so embarrassed when I told my old manager it wasn’t my fault I had a heavy flow and a wide-set vagina (it worked in context). He was like “what the fuck dude, I didn’t need to know that! Ew!” It took 10 min and some YouTube to explain myself.

I really love the idea of a bride eating ribs! Glad you still got to eat your cake though.

I completely agree. I wasn't trying to say you were wrong, I just find it interesting how much different info is out there.

So I saw something in People magazine recently (my mom has a subscription, don’t judge!) that said basically the opposite of this, and they quoted a national LGBT organization. It was a blurb about “how to talk about trans issues” and in addition to that, it said that “transgendered” was not an okay word to use?…

That is awful. :(

I’m confused about where the first children are during this time. The article doesn’t mention them being at the hotels, just husbands and mothers, so do they leave the first child in China with family members or something?

So are you saying that if the babies have health problems, the mothers just abandon them in the US??

I've used that breathing exercise to ease anxiety, but I've never tried it to help me fall asleep! I'll give it a shot.

I know I'm way late to this thread but YES TO ALL OF THIS. Years ago I had to deal with a 30 year old man child calling me every day for a week straight wanting to know whyyyy I didn't want to go out with him anymore. I gave up and told him I was still in love with me ex, just because I thought that was kinder than…

Hope you feel better soon! I've never had an abortion but my friends that have have told me the recovery for a medical abortion is more difficult than a surgical one.

I was about to recommend this! I could never get my hard boiled eggs just right until I got one of these as a gift. Now they're 100% perfect every time.

I worked for a few months as a telemarketer for a dating company, and I had a whole fake identity. We made calls to another state, from disguised numbers, so I had to pretend I lived in Washington. I had a fiance that was my high school sweetheart, a house in some trendy neighborhood, and just wanted to help people…

I think (or hope) that everyone did this when they were young teens and the home internet was new! I had so many chat room boyfriends, and I was always from Florida for some reason. I didn’t go so far as to make friends for myself, so props to your creativity!

We did this at my last retail job! We’d just grab whatever tag out of the drawer and roll with it. It was especially great to see how many people actually noticed that my name tag said “Steve” or whatever.

Agreed! I really hope we’re done with him and Polly now.

I heard he's not in this season!

I know that has nothing to do with the actual matter at hand, but I wonder that too. I went to the original article hoping it would explain, but no dice. Did they order a pizza for lunch, finish it and then want another for dinner? Were they having guests over and realized they needed more pizza? So confused.

They picked up the pizza, it wasn't delivered.

Yup. My ex moved in with a girl he met in rehab last year and shocker, they both just relapsed. Terrible fucking idea!

I did the same thing when I was about the same age, but with Coke in place of tea! I got mad at my mom about something, so while she was in the shower I “ran away” to my elderly neighbor’s house next door. I nearly gave my mom a heart attack, and I felt really bad about it because of how scared she was, but after that…
