Allyson,
I fucking love them. Someone will have to pry them out of my cold, dead hands. I tried diva cup and I did not like it, but Soft Cups work really well.
The only thing of course is that for someone with heavy flow, they can get messy. If you are over that, then Soft Cups rule.
I haven't committed to either a Diva or Soft Cup, but I did get a pack of Instead to test out the concept on a cheaper and more temporary basis, and I love them. As soon as the current box empties out I'm going permanent.
Instead are Soft Cups. Instead changed the name.
Thanks for the reviews. I'm going to give them a try next month. I was afraid that it would be a slippery mess and I'd end up dropping the thing right into the toilet.
Great. I just noticed bumps on the tip of Frankie's penis, so it's off to the vet! Can't quite shake the FML feeling right now.
edit - got some ABs, hopefully it's NBD. And got in and out including meds for $33. I LOVE MY VET.
smonster, I'd love your vet, too. I never get out of my vet's office for anything under $100.
le_n, I'm glad you figured out what was causing the nosebleeds! But, how bizarre.
So, I applied for a new position on campus today. I'm not 100% sure it's the best match for me, but it would get me out of a position that is semi-toxic to me. It would be a lateral transfer, so there's no guarantee of more money and if they can't offer it, I'm not taking it. Still, I wouldn't mind a little "get a response to my resume and cover letter"~ma if youse gots it.
Lots of ~ma, Sail!!
So. Trigger warning for anyone who has eating issues, especially those created and/or reinforced by family. Excerpts from a Vogue article by a mom who put her 7 yo daughter on a diet.

dear god ... that's ... words fail me
my mother put me on a diet when i was, i think, 12. basically, iceberg lettuce, cottage cheese, not a lot else. took years before i was able to even think of cottage cheese.
My lovely husband is back from a LONG week away. I have two hours until I get off work and can go home and actually see him and it is making me antsy. We are going to see
Rock of Ages
tonight and revel in the cheesiness. Sadly, I am sure I will know every word of every lame song in the show.
In a coincidence of when discount tickets were available, we are going to see
American Idiot
on Sunday, so it is a weekend of rock musicals.
