| I've been doing all the dishes, litter box scooping, and cat feeding for the past couple of weeks and I struggle to even get that done every day. I've been doing it because my mother broke her arm and has a cast so she can't do it. I didn't even do dishes yesterday so I'll probably have to do them t... |

| No problem dudette, put on a not-encumbering skirt made of the fabric you are comfortable with and you don't need to wear underwear anymore. You just need something to cover the nipples which is self-retaining otherwise you'd draw unwanted attention from sex driven dudes. Don't blame the dudes for ... |

| I cannot use tampons because nothing is allowed to enter my cervical canal or my vagina. I refused routine cervical screening on the basis that even touching down there (let alone being invaded) is completely beyond my capability. I tried to take a swab myself (as I refused my GP's request for her ... |

I hate underwear too and never wear them. I had trouble using tampons when I first started using them but eventually I got used to them. Now I don't get my period any more because I had cervical cancer and had a hysterectomy.
I only wear bras when I go out and only sports bras now. |

| So what would that make me then? Introverted and/or asocial? A lot of people use the term antisocial for people that don't socialize much but I associate that term more with antisocial personality disorder which is a whole different thing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_personality_disorde... |

| This is a dilemma for me. On the one hand I hate all the social play/teasing/bullying going on. But I realize it has to be there to make a social group work. If you are not ready to act submissively for more well-accepted/popular people than yourself, you act anti-socially. Really! I don't feel bad... |

They would even do things like say that we would all sit there until I read but I always held out longer than them because I knew that they couldn't keep us ... |

| When I was younger I wanted bigger boobs because I thought they were sexier and looked better. Now I don't care if I have any boobs at all. I'm not interested in sex and I don't want other people coming on to me or sexually harassing me. |

| I didn't realize it until then, but the skill level of the doctor makes a big difference and going to a specialist who does them all the time can mean you'll have a better experience. I agree and know that from experience. My last one that I had at someplace other than the place that did my surgery... |

Who is supposed to watch the kid and make them go to school if the parent is in jail? As much as I hate to say this after all I went through shouldn't it be the kid receiving ... |
