Check out the photo and caption (from a newspaper a few years back): [link]

Also, an old ad from Sugar Information, Inc. [link]

Mary got to school early for Student Council. Her team won in gym. After play reheasal, she'll Watusi with the gang. She needs sugar in her life. For energy. She needs energyless, artificially sweetened foods and beverages like a turtle needs a seat belt. Sugar wings. Serve some.

You notice the birth control pill ads never talk about how well they prevent pregnancy. Just about shorter periods and great skin.

They all have the same effectiveness. They are distinguished from one another by the other factors. Otherwise, you could just go generic.

Like gasoline.

FYI ladies, the new "shorter period" formulations are just more active pills in a month, so you can get the same result from just taking three or four of the placebos in your current prescription.

The more you know....!

I know several women who take the pill for reasons other than contraception. And FWIW Allyson I don't think you are missing anything in not taking it. Me hates them, they zip my libido down to about -20.

So my daughter just got up from her "nap" (these days she really just rests for a bit) having put an orange tank top and blue tie-dye pants on over her pink t-shirt/pinafore ensemble. That's an eye popper!

Oh, and to continue the random associative post, for everyone currently suffering from a head cold, I was recently introduced to a homeopathic remedy that actually seems to work (at least based on the last two colds I've had, which I admit is not a statistically significant sample size). It's called oscillo or oscillococcinum and it's packaged by Boiron. I tend to skeptical of such things but so far it seems to significantly reduce the number of days I feel like ass.

Except for one of them, where the placebos aren't just iron, but also have trace estrogen. That's the 1 period every three months pill.

I HATE INSURANCE and I want the fuckos at Blue Cross to Back Off Immediately.

Oh shit Kat, what are they up to now?

I just realized I put my underwear on wrong.

How wrong is wrong? Or do I not want to know?

attempts to publicly funded & promote the idea that sex within marriage should be for conception only

You know, if the people who would propose this actually could follow it, I'd be mighty impressed.

I would be pissed at any medication that made my boobs bigger. That's just rude. Sometimes the ER insists on a pregnancy test before giving me my meds. I have barked the length of my NGA status at more than one nurse, as well as "I don't have enough time between shots to get pregnant!"

Almost fainted again today. I don't remember hitting the ground, but I do remember starting to fall, so I don't count it as a full faint. I am well tired of this.

I find it odd that this is a subject you are too delicate for. It's a thong that was harder to distinguish than I realized, because the leg hole was around my waist and vice-versa.

Except for one of them, where the placebos aren't just iron, but also have trace estrogen.

Huh. I never take the placebos.

That's the 1 period every three months pill.

Hated that one. TMI details: "Some" "spotting"? Hah! "You keep using that word. I do not think it means, what you think it means."
