– Poor little car is almost dead. She needs love. But is it sane to spend money on a vehicle which cost less than $1500CDN? Should I not just give it a proper Viking burial by setting it on fire and rolling it into the lake? Will take her to Canadian Tire tonight to assess the damage, but given that she is making noises like her fan belt is made of sewn-together golf balls and her pick-up is altogether gone, to the point that I get excited when we move up to 10km\/hr after pausing at a stop sign, I think the prognosis will be grim.<\/p>\n
– Getting extensive waxing done tonight. Really extensive. Like, I’ll be popping a bunch o’ max strength Tylenol at 3pm in preparation. But seriously, my leg hair now rivals JVL’s in length, so it’s time to take some action.<\/p>\n
– Have cold sore. Look repulsive. Hate face. Hate cold sores. Icky.<\/p>\n
– My beloved birth control patch has apparently been declared outlaw<\/a> due to “blood clotting issues”. The fuck? ALL birth control has danger of clotting! Why take mine away from me? I LOVE the patch. Do not want to take silly pills which I will forget, or get internal fixings. Damn! Still, this is disturbing… <\/p>\n “Ortho McNeil, makers of Ortho Evra, says women using the patch will be exposed to about 60 percent more estrogen [aside: no wonder I’ve had such bad PMS the last year!]<\/b> than those using typical birth-control pills because hormones from patches get into the bloodstream and are removed from the body differently than those from pills. Thursday’s warning comes four months after reports that patch users die and suffer blood clots at a rate three times higher than women taking the pill. About a dozen women, most in their late teens and early 20s, died in 2004 from blood clots believed to be related to the birth-control patch, and dozens more survived strokes and other clot-related problems.”<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" – Poor little car is almost dead.
