Had a great time at The Museum of Jurassic Technology yesterday but the whole place was so baffling that when we three emerged, blinking, into the sunlight we had to add on a trip to the tar pits to remind our brains what a museum that makes sense feels like.

sj, honestly, if you're going to talk to your doctor tomorrow, I'd just take today's pill (and take tomorrow's pill tomorrow) and find out what your doctor wants you to do. Two pills won't make a difference. Since you're having your period, you can't get pregnant (but if it makes you feel more secure, use backup BC like a condom), and taking the small hormonal dosage in the pill won't wreak utter havoc.

That's my .02 as someone who can look shit up and generally interpret it but is not a medical professional.

Thanks, Teppy. That's what I thought, but I just wanted some confirmation until I could talk to my doctor. At least I know now why I was so hormonal this week.

sj, I hate that mysterious hormonal mood stuff. Last week K-Bug had asked "mom, are you just stressed or PMS'ing". Ummm, well, stress has been high lately so I wrote it off as that. Nope, day one on the hotel - SURPRISE! Garg. So tired of having my period while traveling.

I head home today. I'm going to look at a few more places for STBX - he needs to get something locked in before move time - I don't have room to store him or his stuff at my place.

This is how Rome fell, I tell you what.

As soon as the barbarians made it into the bedroom, it was all over.

Definitely keep taking your pill, sj. It's possible that you're having breakthrough bleeding and not your actual period, so keep yourself on the schedule you've established.

Your doc may have different advice tomorrow, and you should absolutely follow that, but for the time being I'd say keep taking them.

And a random air conditioner question: does it use less energy to keep the upstairs A/C running all day on low, or to turn it off completely, have it get enormously hot and stuffy up there, and then turn it on full blast when it's time for bed?

Thanks, Jen. I can't remember what I did before I had buffistas to answer all my questions.

ETA: I have no idea about the AC. Although, we need to get one soon. It's boiling in here today.

if I could get "Let's Go to the Mall" to stop repeating in my head I would be oh so grateful. Curse you Robin Sparkles!

Most experts suggest turning the A/C up to the low 80s, because if you turn it off altogether, you get a build-up of humidity.

eta: In humid climates, anyway.

Fay, now you MUST use her help to snag the bloke.

Dude. She OFFERED. You MUST!

Though in my life what would happen is that somehow she and the bloke would end up married with children. But I would be happy for them! ...eventually...

Am supposed to go to birthday party for GILF's daughter (the now-19-year-old) at 5:30. RSVPd before realizing I already had tickets to a movie at 6:30 (there's a month long movie festival going on in town). What to do, what to do...I feel bad rescinding my RSVP, but also want to go to the movie. I don't think 45 minutes of being at the party is quite kosher, though. Especially since it probably won't really start on time.

Fay, you misspoke, I think you meant to say:

- oh, and a biglovely ass... her face? Damn. No, didn't notice, too busy staring at the hat ass..."

Does J-Date do gay dating? My one friend was complaining that she wants to date a Jewish girl...

she should find gay friendly Jewish families. My friend Lynn met her partner at a Seder. She likes to joke that she's the only one in the family who brought home a nice jewish girl.

I feel bad rescinding my RSVP, but also want to go to the movie. I don't think 45 minutes of being at the party is quite kosher, though. Especially since it probably won't really start on time.

eh, it's the GILF. You know she'd bail on you.
