Does anyone have a husband who thinks it's funny to moon you?

Or, how about one who comes up to give you a hug but it's only because he farted and that hug is really a trap while he stands there laughing?

If tampons are inserted properly they shouldn't hurt. The key is practicing to find that good spot, following the directions should help.

I was always a very regular girl. You could time my cycles to the day and now it seems I'm having a period ever two or three weeks. I wasn't worried when it was still like clockwork every three weeks, but now sometimes it is three, sometimes two, and sometimes I run all four or even five weeks. I don't know what the problem is, but I thought that stress going away would make it better. Now it just seems to be as bad if not worse, and I'm getting horrible cramps every time. Any ideas????

:eek: all four weeks?? Holy crap?? (Sorry I have no ideas)

I had a similar problem when i got the Implanton in my arm. I more of less had to where a pad everyday for five months. (most days it was just the tiny panty liners but still...)
Stress can do that to your cycle. So could not eating properly, not having regular sleeping patterns.
Theres no harm going to a Well Woman or other place like a GP to inquire.

I likely should. I'm still trying to give calming down a chance. Unfortunatly, I'm beginning to see that my stress level isn't really decreasing with Tom home. I figure if all is still crasy in 6 months or so I'll think of going. Right now it is more or less just not know when I'll have a period. This time I seem to be having the normal 28 day cycle (knock on wood) but the last two months I had something like four periods in that time. So, hopefully, all is starting to settle.

you know whats not good about periods? long haul flights while having your periods. most uncomfortable thing ever!
Just thought i'd throw that in....

ohh seriously, those are horrible.

I don't really keep track of my cycle but a few days before I can tell I'm about to start, every once in a while it sneaks up on me and I'm caught unaware without my OBs.

I guess since we're still talking periods I'll throw my two cents in about the whole thing. Well, actually I'd like to go back to the whole feminine products thing. I buy my stuff in bulk because I loathe shopping for those stupid things. The only problem is that the place I buy them from doesn't provide bags so you're stuck carrying your big giant box of girl stuff out to the car sans bag.

One time, I went shopping there with him and he was in a huge rush to get out of there while I was in my female shopping stupor. There I am wandering slowly around not paying attention to anyone around me, gazing at anything and everything whether I needed to buy it or not and he's urging me along. Finally he goes off with the shopping cart and apparently he heard that we were finished shopping even though I said no such thing, and he goes through the line and pays for everything.

The only problem is that we never did go by the feminine hygeine aisle. So, I send him back in alone since he rushed on out, and he had to buy them all by himself without a bag. And this place checks your receipt at the door, and there he is with feminine hygeine products and no bag.

He gets back in the car and tells me that the receipt checker, who was some goofy old man, made some comment about how he had to buy the tampons, ha ha ha.

I take delight in small things. :lol:

Argh!! So I'm looking for plain, regular black shoes. On Zappos I select black and casual and this is what popped up:

Can you believe someone has the nerve to charge 1350.00 for these things??

I had a weird thing going on for while when I always got my period when I went to my grandparents house. I used to go up there pretty often, but it wasn't a regular thing. Sometimes there would be four weeks between, sometimes just two. I guess if stress brings it on, maybe that was it. Staying with the Grandparents can be pretty stressful.

are you kidding me? Those are awesome. I've been wanting a pair of cowboy boots for so long. But they can't be just any old cowboy boots. They can't be Dolly Parton or Pam Tillis cowgirl boots. They need to be cowboy boots with some interesting pattern on them, and those are almost what I have in mind. I'm not sure that a cartoon is quite what I had in mind, but it's close. What I'd want would have to be something strange to see on a pair of cowgirl boots. Like, varsity plaid or something. Maybe teal and magenta...hmmm. If anyone knows where I can purchase such a pair, point me towards them. I don't know if I'd pay 1350.00 for a pair, but at least let me consider them.

I found these last night on some western wear site...

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...skullboots.jpg

$235.00. Still, that's a little too pricey. I'm one of those people who thinks $40 is too much to spend on shoes (unless they're running shoes or something). Then again, these are boots. Then again, you're just asking to get made fun of if you walk around in something like that.

That's hilarious, Shalot. :lol: It also reminds me of my 12-year old brother, whom we send to the grocery to buy the feminine stuff when we (we are 3 sisters) suddenly have a visit from the monthly visitor. He gets teased a lot by cashiers and baggers and usually comes home with his face as red as a tomato. :lol: Sadistic sisters we are.

Last year, a boy named Kolby was going through my friend Tiera's purse and found a tampon in between a few peices of paper, and asked what it was. lol, all the girls at our science table started laughing a little untill Brandon told Kolby what it was, hahahaha. Kolby got sicked out and threw it on the table and we all laughed all day and teased him about it. hahahahaha.

Holy Crap!!! I have a huge zit on my cheek, It's about the size New Hampshire. It's taking all my willpower not to try and pop it.

Last Monday I woke up with one on my forehead. It was GIANT and it was painful and popping it wasn't even an option because it was painful too, and popping it would have only made it redder. And, not only was it giant, but it was huge underneath and beyond the red raised part of it, if you know what I mean. It was gross.

Are zits contagious? The reason I ask is because I went on a weekend trip before that Monday with my family, and my brother had slept on the pillows I used the night before. (It was a two bedroom deal, and I only arrived on Saturday night, instead of Friday night, so my brother had to go sleep on the sofa sleeper). He's seventeen and he gets zits regularly, so I am wondering if by sleeping on his pillow case I somehow contracted the giant zit...

It's not like I don't get zits anymore because I do, but the size of this thing was just crazy...It was not your usual everyday zit.

I have super sensitive skin. I think some of my trouble is the cleanser I use, but I'm already using the Dove for sensitive skin. I'm hoping maybe the Proactive will not dry me out and make things worse the way the other cleansers and such do.

love the zit-talk, girls.

got a really big zit myself a few months back. nasty!!! i was just thankful it was by the hairline so I just changed the way i part my hair to hide it. It was huge for days (about the size of my thumbnail when I don't grow my nails) and was so painful when I smiled. (what a headache!)

I happened to take a trip to the dental chair then and the dentist, who had to get at an angle to work on my teeth, rested her arm on my head--and on top of my zit--for like, twenty minutes. hellishly painful, really. I almost didn't notice the drills.

it popped about three days later, on its own. (that's not to say I stopped touching it.) it had three eyes in the pus, and I was like, oh, that's why it's so big!

it scarred. about two weeks later the zit scar became a zit again, but it was not as bad as the first time.

what a persistent zit!

Proactive does work; my brother used it, and it worked for him. It tries to contain the sebum production and that helps in reducing the pimples/acne.

I popped it. It was about ready to blow so I helped it a little bit.

MH: Lye soap??? Doesn't that dry out your skin?

I've never tried proactive.

I use Seabreeze in the morning and Noxema at night and then I use acne cream at both morning and night to fix those special spots that need extra work.

I have basically no acne. And apparently it makes my face skin really soft.

So those are my two cents.

Did you have acne before? My son who is 16 has a really bad case. We are going to see a dermatologist. He's had some amazingly huge ones. He had one just inside his nose that actually distended his nostril. He'll call me in and announce a new one in this really deadpan voice and then we just gaze at it.

Does the lye really work? Or the noxema?

Whoah! Ouch! I never had really, really bad acne, but I did have it.

What I do works for me. Don't know if it would work for others, though. I am just vehement about not having acne.

Have any of you thought of tea tree oil?
10-15-2008, 11:42 AM
Nightshade

I am incredibly lucky in that I very rarley get any spots on my face, instead 90% of my zits turn up on my scalp which is good but also means that occasionally they burst when Im brushing my hair ( just after Ive had a shower ) which means I have to wash my hair again, and this always seems to happen when Im in a rush.
tea tree oil is magic stuff though, except it cause things to burst on their own in the night.
Ive got gaping pores thugh which Im not sure how to get rid of.
