Sounds promising, Hil

Have fun, Hil!

I have a date day with DH tomorrow. We are going to the Dolphins game with a friend. Tailgating starts around 10am, then I think the game is maybe at 1pm. 50 yard line seats.

I'm bringing spinach/artichoke dip and vegetarian chili to scarf down on tortilla chips. Also rum spiked lemon/limeade. Cookies too. The boys are eating various meaty stuff.

Both of my sons were given the option of going with dad, but one is hunting and the other is going to a BBQ with friends, so football for me and my sweety.

Nice, Hil!

meara, I use a Diva cup, and, yeah, it's more than a little of a mess and feels weird, though not exactly uncomfortable, so I pretty much only empty it at home (or in a home-like bathroom like a hotel room). I have not had any trouble with that, as far as...having waited too long. Does that help?

My parents are visiting. I am drunk. These two things are connected. OY.

meara, I use a Diva cup as well. It took a little getting used to but I hate hate HATE using tampons now. Empty morning and night and don't think about it otherwise. At times I've had leakage issues and used cloth pads as liners but mostly it's not a problem. Since I only deal with it twice a day it's at home or in a private bathroom like a hotel. YMMV. There used to be a community on lj with all kinds of info and comparisons but I don't know if it still exists.

Thanks y'all. I may look into getting one, but I figure it's good to know this is an option. I think I figured out part of what I was doing wrong, but them had different issues today and gave up for the moment. I think my big concern/issue is the price--the others are more expensive, so it's hard to take a chance in case I don't like one.

am so sick of this whole job hunt process.

I am also sick of teaching three identical classes each day. It is so difficult to start from the beginning of a topic and explain everything slowly for the third time in four hours. My brain keeps saying, "You already said this! You don't need to say it again!" but I do, because I said it to other students.

Hil, I know a lecturer who teachers her two identical classes in different orders because she found that sensation so disturbing. She said that one day a student asked a question and she felt a little rage rise up because she had just answered that question, but then she realized it had been asked in another section. She decided to change that. It does take a bit more prep, but she she thinks her lectures are better for it.

Obviously, doesn't work in a regimented system with common exams across classes.

That awkward moment when a male FOF on Facebook messages, and you're not sure if he wants to: a. befriend you

b. argue with something you've said/ fight

c.be that so-far mythical gimp devotee your other crip-women friends meet all the time(Maybe I know one, but my lack of squirming makes it unfun? Anyway, I feel I can't complain since I have been aroused by election coverage in the past. Keith+Rachel+massive Dem gains=risk of soul loss and some lack of fetish high ground)

d. show you his dick

e. ham-handledly flirt with you in a group of six other female strangers that look non-threatening to message. Is it any wonder my greetings are a bit wary?(and that's even leaving out the true-crimier possibilities) #YesReallyALL Women

on the lighter side ... if you're going to San Francisco (be sure to wear some flour in your hair?)

And now I am hungry!
