Shir, babe, I'm sorry about that. Any other Bitches use Lunapads? I read the ad in Bust a few months ago and switched to their washable underwear/liner pad combo and I am really pleased.(less garbage + better containment is a win for me AND the Earth. Which I was just closer to. Also, the tape on the wings was giving me an itch. Which I don't miss.)
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Any other Bitches use Lunapads?
No, for various reasons, but I use sea sponge tampons about half the time. They're great.
Any other Bitches use Lunapads?
I do. Disposable pads irritate my skin like hell. Plus, better for the environment.
Really. Hate. Everybody.
Never been a tampon woman, but I like the *thought* of the sea sponge thing. It's funny though, that throwing out lots of bleached white junk can seem normal and healthy if you do it for fifteen years
Shir, I am so sorry that happened to you. In Israeli terms, I'm probably somewhere between dati and chareidi (cover my hair 100%, pretty machmir about things, but I send my kids to a yeshiva that prepares them for college and let them -gasp-watch TV and listen to secular music) and I am outraged.
Sinat chinam (baseless hatred) destroyed our national life and sent us into galut (diaspora) 2000 years ago. There is no place for that kind of hatred, pettiness, or G-d forbid violence in the true Torah life. Men like that need to get real jobs, support their families, actually learn what Torah means, and raise their sons to go to hesder yeshivot (Torah institutions where students also serve in the army) at least, instead of faking it in the beit midrash, sucking on welfare checks and their wives' little jobs, and hanging out on street corners acting criminally stupid.
Late as ever - I haven't had time to come here in a while - but meant sincerely.
Sean, anything we can do to help? long-distance snuggles?
Sean, been there. Not today, though. Often enough.
Shir's experience is one of the reasons theocracies are scary. So much emphasis on the letter and so little on the spirit.
wrod. Also, if someone is Completely Wrong, and Damned, what is your incentive to accomodate them?
