@SeriesofTubes: My point is that the issue isn't that polygamy/polyamory/polygyny is inherently dysfunctional, it's that this particular manifestation of it is.

@NellMood: The only reason I didn't get a paragard is because I already had heavy periods and didn't want 'em heavier. If I could keep the Mirena in for 10 years, that would be heaven!

@cookiecutter: Mirena. That's all I do— about once a month. I have no period to speak of (the occasional reddish tint in the undies, nothing that can't be taken care of by wearing black cotton underwear, seriously), the occasional cramp, and save a heck of a lot of money on tampons and pads. Plus, no bloody…

@NellMood: Oh, and paragard is 10. Mirena is 5.

@cookiecutter: My iud has meant I've not had any more than spotting since 2005. It's lovely. I save a bundle on feminine products AND BC.

@NellMood: Inserted. Stupid predictive text and me not checking!

@treehouser: that's who they look like! I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out who they looked like, and that's it!

@SophieWantsMizJback: emotionally, I'm not sure he treats them well. I have no issue with what/who anyone calls their family, as long as everyone is respected. Kody seems super dismissive and somewhat removed from both the wives and kids.

@NellMood: I just got my second I serrated. It's definitely 5 years.

@cookiecutter: Depo provera has some fairly bad side effects. If you have a reaction to an iud, you can get it removed. You have to live with the side effects of depo.

@Titania, reine des fees: yes! I remember it being around 4 PM. After school, for sure. I had a discussion with a friend and went to the ever-handy Wikipedia and discovered that Jem was, coincidentally, "born" on the same day as we were reminiscing.

What, no love for Jem and the Holograms? They're turning 25 too.

How much do you want to bet that the judge ruling in the Connecticut case plays golf? If golf is a sport, competitive cheerleading certainly is.

I had no idea that there was a sit-up brush in Photoshop.

@knitwitnancy: I am honestly curious: why?

@haus_frau: hey now! We've had 20 years to be sad. The Bengals aren't completely sucking (they did pretty well last year) and we have the NL Central champs and a possible Triple Crown winner in Joey Votto.

D'ya think he's closeted? The attorney doth protest too much, methinks.

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: I like the little "ting!" from his smiling teeth. The wag is kind of hot. I'm not embarrassed to admit that. It's sad, though, that I know exactly when to look up. I travel too much.

@rodmanstreet: amazing on so many levels.

Opposite issue: I'm 30, my fiance is 50. I'm lucky in that he looks 10 years yo
