Well, my glue is a non-alcoholic version, maybe you could try that, when you are ready to quit that is. HAHAHA

And I’m sorry about all the teenage sex crap. If only we could just tie them down for a few years, until they get it…..why was the chasity belt ever outlawed???? LOL

When my anemia was very bad, (I didn’t know at the time) I had problems sleeping and restless legs. Didn’t realize it was one of the symptoms. Has your iron been checked?

Oh my. Well, I got warts at the age of 17, thinking I was protected from “the pregnancy” with The Pill. (how ironic to find out at 39 I was doomed to infertility). Not fun. Back then most things were curable. Perhaps a trip to an AIDS hospice is in order?? Me too I have friends who got pregnant during their period, with an IUD etc. sheesh.

I am so so sorry to hear that you are feeling horrid physically again. I have no brilliant suggestions, just an aching sadness that you have to deal with this betrayal of your body when you deserve so much better. I hope you find something to help and feel better soon. And boy oh boy, I wouldn’t appreciate the sex either if I felt like that, not in me or anyone else.

(Because of course, as an infertile woman, I am guaranteed to have friends who have gotten pregnant on every form of birth control known to man or woman kind. I once read the failure rate for contraceptive foam and thought “Jeez, more women get pregnant using this stuff than IVF!”)

Glue? For reals? Unbelievable.

Oh Baggage, what a day/week for you. I feel for you, my virtual friend, and I wish that there was something I could do. I’m a nurse, so I could put together something about STD’s for your sexually active one, if you’d like. It’s a pet issue of mine, and I’d be happy to help if I can.

Good luck, Baggage, good luck.

When I was in high school we had an assembly “Real Life 101″ or something like that. The guy showed GRAPHIC pictures of STDs. In fact the first penis (picture) I ever saw was in that assembly - and it was disgusting. Nothing like putting 400 kids in an auditorium and showing them gross genital pictures for an hour, telling them to make sure to wash their hands and then not providing soap in the bathrooms. Where was I…Oh - that’s right - that assembly was quite possibly the best deterant for sex I have ever seen. Also kind of odd that they actually allowed it at school in my super conservative home town. I think peach was kidding when she said something about the pictures of STDs - but it did work for me.

I *still* can’t believe that in this day and age teenagers still aren’t more aware of STDs and think that pregnancy is the *only* worry when it comes to sex. UGH!!!!

(This isn’t directed at or a criticism of Baggage, it’s a more general statement about this in general, almost all studies are showing that despite education programs, kids still think pregnancy is the only worry when it comes to sex.)

Maybe you should print out pictures of STDs and post them all over the house… gross out the teens and force them to understand. In fact, maybe all health educators should do that.
