Yes except for the part where I wasn’t cool at all and told this guy we could totally duke it out.

I don’t have any insight. I just want to say that I love it when a child reveals “This is me,” and a parent says “Okay.”

Cheers to you PP. Like my local fire department, I’ve never needed you but I will always be thankful that if I ever do you’re there and that my community is healthier and safer because of the services you’ve provided to those who do.

When I was new to the state and didn’t have a doctor I ended up at PP because of a minor issue. They were very thorough, very kind.

In 2004, I was raped in an area of upstate NY where the rape crisis services were run by Planned Parenthood—as in, if you came to a hospital reporting a rape or sexual assault, that’s where they referred you for ongoing care. The staff at PP’s rape crisis center was incredibly kind and supportive to me. They gave me…

Recent and somewhat ridiculous story: I’m from Canada and I recently got married. We embarked on our honeymoon in Maui the day after our wedding (future brides: this is not as fantastic of an idea as it seems). I was meant to start a new pack of birth control the day after we arrived, so I threw a whole box into my…

Almost tow years ago to the day, my on-and-off boyfriend of seven years committed suicide. We weren’t dating at the time, but it still hit me like a train.

Samson had good hair tho.

“I’m so very sorry, but when we were stitching you up Dr. WTF sewed his finger to your labia. It didn’t worsen the tear, but fluids mixed and we do need to do an HIV test. After we re-sew.”

The grossest thing I’ve had a doctor say to me was when I was 17 years old and getting my mandatory physical to go into Navy ROTC. “Oh, you’re still a virgin. I don’t see many of those.” He then proceeded to jam the speculum up me so hard I literally tried to squirm off the table as he yelled at me to lie still. I…

I very recently was in the shower and felt what seemed like, well, poop in between my cheeks. I reached back figuring I’d clean it out and pulled a worm out of my ass. Like a six inch long white worm. I screamed and threw it on the floor and it was wriggling around. My SO came running in looked at it and said “this…

My 20 week ultrasound with my first daughter the doc is all “Do you want to know the sex? Yes? Let’s see...is it a hot dog or a hamburger? Looks like a hamburger! It’s a girl!”

This is a gross thing my doctor and I experienced together.

Okay so it’s not really “gross” and I probably told this story before, but it’s still hilarious to me.

Well, I was literally bleeding out of my ass, and my doctor told me that I had a pilonidal cyst. Then came the awful question - “So, have you pulled any of the cyst out? It should have the appearance and consistency of old Crisco.”

“I’ll go with Pompous Dicks for $1000"

Did you option this for extra vacation like Caity did with the TGI Friday cheese sticks? Because I think what you did was much, much harder and you deserve them.

Meme of the week. Partially because I can hear it perfectly in my head.

I was a rebellious young thing who loathed being subjected to gender norms. So despite being forced to dress in garish overly feminine dresses and matching patent leather shoes, I would run amok with my (predominately male) friends causing all sorts of mayhem.
