I agree that women often get shitty treatment in hospitals during birth, but I don't know how typical that vasectomy story is. Kinda doubt most dudes are getting it done in a recliner with gifts.
It sounds comparable to awesome birth stories you so…
I just went to the doctor and I totally expected a prostate exam because I'm 31, but the doctor didn't check out downstairs, like at all. I thought it was weird because I seem to remember past doctors at least looking at my wiener and balls (for tes…
I don't mean to hijack the lady thread, but since we were talking about vasectomies earlier, this is sort of relevant: I made an appt to get a vasectomy today!
I got over my concerns about post vasectomy pain syndrome by reading that vasectomy reve…
Lots of trader joes frozen food (veggie corn dogs, veggie potstickers) and spaghetti. When I want to get really fancy I make baked bean sandwiches and baked potatoes.
On the This American Life episode, this speech therapist suspects her husband of being autistic, but she doesn't take it very seriously because it's a common joke in the Autism community that if you describe typical aspie behaviors, a lot of women w…
I love skunk smell! Maybe because it reminds me of those old scratch-and-sniff books and stickers. They nailed the skunk smell, unlike most of the other smells. I imagine a full on blast of skunk stink would be horrible, but I've never experienced …

I don'…
Kind of unrelated, but can I suggest the movie Tucker and Dale Vs Evil? It's a comedy horror movie that takes on the idea of the scary hick horror (The Hills Have Eyes, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Deliverance). It's really funny and Alan Tudyk is in it…
It shocks me that you've used up all your gmail storage space. I've had gmail since the beginning and I'm at 1% of my space.
Stop archiving emails you should be deleting!
I'm skeptical of the idea that high-end vitamins are worth the extra money, but I do like that RAW One doesn't have more than 100% RDA on most of its ingredients. One thing I hate about buying vitamins is finding a multi that doesn't have like 800% …
I buy the men's once daily multivitamin from Trader Joe's. I don't know, it works for me. I don't really notice a difference physically, I just take it to cover my bases since I'm know I'm not getting all the necessary vitamins and minerals from my …
Do searches for things you don't need anymore, like search for "amazon" to bring up all emails notifying you that you package has been sent, or whatever.
