No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh Ginger, what a nightmare for her!

Trust my rage

Thank you, everyone. Fred, I think you are so right about documenting. Thankfully, the lawyer in me has made me scan everything.

I thought I would just share with everyone that while all that craziness did happen yesterday, I also got my period this morning. Which I should know, after 25 years, that whenever I find myself saying "I suck", 99% of the time, my period is due in a day or two. Chemistry is amazingly powerful.

There is a driving ban in MA after 4pm today. I'm so glad that TCG ended up getting a day off today and didn't have to worry about driving at all today.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Stay safe, North Easters! Stay warm too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, Ginger, what a nightmare indeed, for her and you. How horrible. Fuck cancer.

Stephanie, good grief, some people suck. Get the restraining order if you have to. It's a PITA but it's the best way to get it on record that she's harassing you. Preaching to the choir, I know. Previous experience with harassment and stalkers has left me with zero tolerance for such people.

Which I should know, after 25 years, that whenever I find myself saying "I suck", 99% of the time, my period is due in a day or two. Chemistry is amazingly powerful.

Yep. Even with the Mirena, the hormonal swings still happen. It's truly amazing, the difference it makes in my moods and my feeling of physical health. I long for menopause.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Chemistry is amazingly powerful.

No kidding. And even with my app that tells me when I'm due, I still never suspect, and then I go, oh, yeah, right.

I have finally learned to look at the calendar when I start feeling really horrible about myself.

I long for menopause.

But this perimenopause thing? DO NOT LIKE. Dammit, I used to never have acne. Not to mention the coin-toss nonsense about if I'm going to be emotionally or physically incapacitated by my period. Which will it be: hysterical sobbing over cute animal pictures on tumblr, or cramps that make me long for death? There's no way of predicting until it happens!

And even with my app that tells me when I'm due

What app do you use? Because I probably should be better about tracking my cycle, if only to better understand/predict the moodswings.

Right there with you Jilli. The last couple of days have been mood-city and I just checked my app which says I'm due on Sunday. I use Pink Pad and have confirmed that I have no actual pattern. The start date is more of a guideline for me.

I started using it because I wanted to get Mirena which needs to be inserted during, so I was trying to track so I could schedule the appointment. That hasn't worked out, so now I'm considering Implanon (no clue on the spelling). It is inserted in the arm, lasts 3 years, and can make your period go away. Anyone know anything about this?

As do I. It has taken too damned long to be able to tell the difference between chemically induced insanity and viable reason for concern.

Thrive to spite them

Hormone birth control did more damage to me than the PMS did, I wish it didn't but it made me edgy and angry.
