I refuse to use any lube that has words like “tingle” or “warming” or “cooling” because I know there’s a good chance it’s going to feel like my vagina is on fire. I don’t get why they sell these products. I guess some people like it, but I cannot imagine why.

Put the knife in the bucket with some TP and butt wipes and you have a full on poop kit.

I know when Covid first started, they were prescribing z-packs to prevent secondary infections. I saw that a lot on the news at least. But antibiotics really shouldn’t be taken preemptively, just when you’re sure there is a bacterial infection.

I just had Covid for the first time and I didn’t have any meds beyond OTC like Tylenol, Sudafed, and musinex. But I feel like everything upsets my stomach now. Anything I eat or drink causes some nausea. It really sucks.

Birth control offers more than just contraceptive. I’ve been on birth control since I was 15 or 16 and was a kissless Virgin with no chance of pregnancy. I stayed on it when I was in a same sex relationship. It helps control my endometriosis. Because of birth control, I no longer bleed through a super tampon in an hour and I can actually go to work during my period because my cramps are greatly reduced. The one I’m on now stops my period almost entirely. I went 11 months without one. People also use it for things like acne, hormonal imbalances, PPMD, etc.

But birth control responsibility generally does end up on the woman. It could be because we have more options. Men have condoms and vasectomies. Women have pills, shots, patches, implants, the ring, spermicide, etc. I also don’t mind being responsible because I am the one who ends up pregnant. I don’t want to be so I take it into my own hands and make sure I’m covered on my part. I know I’m taking my birth control responsibly. If I relied on a male partner, I wouldn’t know for sure whether the condom is fully in tact, not expired, or maybe even stays on the whole time.

Each partner needs to take responsibility for themselves. If you’re with a new partner and she says she’s on birth control, wrap it anyways. If he says he wants to use condoms, provide your own or have a back up method. In a committed relationship, talk it out and see what works best for you. Maybe it’s hormonal birth control. Maybe it’s condoms. Maybe it’s sterilization. Communication is key

It’s also a good indicator of something is wrong. And that’s important to know. I had decayed wisdom teeth that got infected. The only reason I knew was due to the extreme pain I had from it. And infected teeth are dangerous. It’s important to know when you have that and the pain from it is a pretty good indicator of it. It’s excruciating.

I wouldn’t call it equal, but it can be an addiction. Sometimes you just want something nice in your life when your life is shit. Nearly everyone’s got ar least one thing. Sometimes it’s a sweet treat, sometimes it’s soda, sometimes it’s alcohol, etc. some are better to have than others.

USA. it’s been $1 for any size soda for years. But looks like some McDonald’s in the US are raising the price.

That’s what I used to do. I was really broke and soda is my one thing. I don’t drink coffee, don’t smoke, rarely drink. But I love a nice soda. I’d go to McDonald’s to get my $1 large soda. Using the McDonald’s app I could sometimes get a free food item with the purchase of $1. So I’d get my $1 soda and a free thing.

I used to do that all the time with McDonald’s, but a large soda from McDonald’s is $1. Chic fil a costs way more for a soda. A McDonald’s soda is cheaper than a gas station bottle of soda.
