Except for the people who have a tendency towards diabetes. (Admittedly, I hated Michael Pollen's most recent books, though I loved Botany of Desire).
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I had no periods at ALL on BC pills, but I did gain about 15 lbs. (Judging by the amount I kept off after D was weaned - I pretty much didn't notice any of the side effects of BC until I went off it and realized, hey, THIS is what not feeling like crap all the time is like! This is great!)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
speaking as a person with diabetes, Pasta and bread are still not evil. The general diet of people from the USA -- way more bread and pasta and not enough fruits and vegetables. Low fiber is more evil.
do you like my soapbox?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The only time I had 28 day cycles was when I was on the pill. A short cycle for me was 35 days.
Yeah, that was me traditionally as well.

Before the pill -- random cycles. I never knew when it would show up

That's interesting, beth. My dad's internist basically told him he could have bread and pasta or he could be on insulin.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
If you watch The Unusuals, turn on the sub-titles, there are some of Dispatch's comments there that aren't in the audio. Funny stuff.

I once has a 90 day cycle. That was nice. And then my body decided I was in prime childbearing years and now it is annoying to be like everyone else.
I killed a roach in my kitchen. lisah, I don't care what you call them, but if they are the size of your pinky last knuckle, skittery in the light and brown and crunchy, it's a fucking roach. DO NOT WANT. Time to bring out the nukes. I'm sure it came in from the basement and up through the plumbing openings into the kitchen. That door is not weathertight. It was not thrilled when I turned on the light. Nor was I.
ACKACKACK. Seriously, I have major roach issues. I may set fire to my foundation.
Spent the last 2 hours writing a 5 page letter to my aunt and uncle without internet, including 67 pictures. My uncle is thrilled beyond words that I bought a house, he's a former GC, so lots of details and all the warts, just for him.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Speaking of Michael Pollen, doesn't he have a new book out?
I have committed online purchases. I feel so... so... guilty! When did spending money become so guilt-ridden? I mean, both items were on sale... and yet? I feel like I shouldn't buy things for myself.
When did I become a freak?
And more importantly, can I repress it long enough to buy myself some new shoes? My shoes are falling apart.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I felt crazy in my head when my body went to a 21 day cycle. On BC at least I know when my 2-3 of craziheaded days will be.
