A doctor once informed me that women lose blood every month and, since I'm a vegetarian, I'm not eating blood to replace it, and so I won't be able to have kids. (I was 15 or so at the time, and a bit too startled to counter with, "Um, India?") This was the same doctor who told me that my pain was entirely psychosomatic before he examined me.
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Crazy doctors. I could add stories, but I'll just sit back and read for now.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
How asinine.

It occurs that with all of the sprogging we seem to be doing around here, maybe we should have a birthing/parenting thread.
I have occasionally thought this. I definitely censor my parent-related issues here, mainly because I worry about boring people. I wonder if the non-parents get tired of the topic. But maybe it's just like cats or baseball.
eta: I know sometimes doctors are necessary but there are so many reasons to avoid them.

For me it's like this. I'll admit to skip/skimming sometimes, but I want to know what's happening with my bitches, and I know I want to hear the "it was white and square and it looked like a tooth so I swallowed it" stories.

This.
I know the thread has really changed over time, partly because of the parenting stuff and personal stuff, but it feels like it's grown with us. I like it.

The good thing about online conversations, I think, is that you can skip/skim without anyone else noticing. I suppose we all self-censor some.

Welcome to the world, Dylan!!!
I have so many crazy doctor stories. The one that has been running through my head lately is when the doctor told me if I didn't stay 90 lbs, I wouldn't be able to walk when I got older. Of course, he may have been right.
My stepfather's retirement party was very nice except for the part where I went back to Mom's sick with a terrible stomach ache and had to stay here all night. All of my old teachers, except for my favorites were there. Plus, I went to high school with the other retirees daughter and we were able to catch up on old times and have lots of fun whispering about all the teachers.

Oh, I love it.
And I love that we can switch between porn and corsets to potty training and odd things kids do in here.
It's funny - sometimes it feels as though, to me anyway, that out of all the threads I, personally, post most frequently in, Bitches seems to be the one that has evolved the most since I joined lo, these t looks at calendar Egads! FIVE years ago.
