    Watching twin nieces (how old are they anyway?) could count as a vigorous gym session in its self. Climb in the playpen yourself, that way they can't get to you and you'll be safe![emoji64][emoji14][emoji64]

    Oh my god yes! And it wasn't like this when I was the same weight years ago. I'd go twice a day if he was up for it.

    And Way better than when I was in my early 20s. Things have definitely gotten Wild in the bedroom

    @Creekimp13 - yeah it's been talked about before, but it has been a while. It is pretty common for this to happen; for both men and women. Decreased body mass leads to better controlled blood pressure and circulation. Loss of fat around the pubis allows for deeper penetration. Loss of fat around the abdomen and legs allows for greater range of movement too. The increased blood flow to the genitalia allows for greater sensitivity as well. Add all that together and it makes for better physical performance on both sides.
    The psychological effect of having better sex also leads to the desire to do it again and with more frequency. It's pretty much a win-win scenario for all!

    My husband has been snipped but now my uterus is out of wack. I was looking at Seasonale/Seasonique just to avoid blood transfusions!

    But yeah that price sounds right if you're in the US and insurance won't cover.
    As others have said, planned parenthood or something similar. Also try GoodRX which gives coupons. Literally has been a life saver for my family

    I was reading one day about how people shouldn't feed them peanuts because they're high in calories and not particularly nutritious for them. Yet EVERYONE and their mom feeds them peanuts lol. I've given them goldfish but they basically give me the squirrel finger when I hand them grapes and stuff [emoji23]

    When I was 8 or so I saw someone fall off their bike and they died! Right in front of me!

    So homeschool is hit or miss. I did an entire research study on it. One of the problems is the parents that are willing to participate in tests just so happen to be the parents that are educating beyond what is required. There are other HS kids that are extremely far behind as well. Like...illiterate at graduation. Most are completely oblivious about sexual health and sciences.

    I'd love to HS but most of the groups here are Christian. We're very atheist so that poses a problem [emoji17]

    Real California April got a reaction from soready17 in Can we get a mental health support forum?   
    I suggested it because people have posted about medications. I'm switching from Zoloft to Effexor and feel pretty alone. Go to a depression forum and get crap for having surgery. Go to a lot of surgery forums and get crap for being on pills.

    I don't feel safe posting anywhere. Last post I saw on here (about lithium I believe) was met with hostility.

    It's not about sensitivity. It's about having a safe place to talk to others with a unique digestive tract and how it affects mental health treatment.

    And here I am in geography class studying the ocean and wind patterns watching the systems change due to global warming. A lot of it is how pollution absorbs energy.

    Scientists literally know how and why. That's why there is no debate.

    Good lord. There is no debate. The earth is warming and has been since the Industrial Revolution. 99% of scientists agree climate change is real and measurable and in many cases predictable.
    It's mindblowing that this thread is a decade old and still alive, and a horrible testament to our modern inability to differentiate between hard science and snake oil televangelism. There are such things as experts, and those experts say CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL. You do not have to be from a coastal area to understand this in real time, but it sure as heck helps.
    I'm beginning to think the internet broke the Baby Boomer generation and took some of X with it. Something about blowing the doors off information access without any quality control or standards resulted in an entire generation and a half losing the ability to tell the difference between credible sourced evidence and hogwash. Maybe exposure since birth will mean the millennials will develop some sort of antibodies against conspiracies and manipulated information, otherwise we're screwed.

    The con of drinking Water is that you can inhale it and die.

    With that said, if the pros outweigh the cons, go ahead. That's why people that don't need to lose a lot don't qualify. The cons would outweigh the pros.
