New Undies You'll LURVE!

Shelly told me about these so I picked some up:  Gilligan & OMalley® Womens 2 Pk Silicone Hipster - Black

She went on and on and on about how the silicon works so well and they do NOT move.

I wore a pair with some skinny jeans today and yup...she's right!  They were awesome!  They didn't move, they didn't show.

I couldn't keep them on once I got home and put on my lounging clothes cuz I could "feel" them if you know what I mean...but they will straight up be my undie of choice to wear with skinny jeans.

 

Hmmmmm...

I just looked in my FB inbox and found at least 4 emails about women saying their mother was in constant competition with them.

Then...someone shared with me that their mother always attempted to live vicariously through their life.

Are YOU familiar with stuff like this either in your life or in a friend's life?

Dear non-Mothers:

Are you considering being a mother?  Either your own or via adoption?  Anybody comfortable with the thought of NOT being a mother? 

Question...

About how much would you say your purse weighs?

Can we talk about this?  Why was it necessary?  Have you ever had one of these in your hand and thought to yourself...hey...this would be soooooooo much better if it was in a hot, neon color?

Dear Women:

How do YOU feel about there being a House committee put together to discuss birth control for women and yet...NO WOMEN WERE CALLED AS WITNESSES?

Absence of women at birth-control hearing prompts larger question

Dear Women:

Have you ever used a form of birth control?

Dear Women:

Do you have any men you talk to on a regular basis like a good friend or a relative?

Does their logic ever make you wonder if something is wrong witih them?

Like...they tell you some crazy ish like they broke up with their girlfriend and then had sans ropas with her and now they don't know why their EX-girlfriend is tripping thinking they are going to get back together just because they had sans ropas together?

DOES THAT KIND OF LOGIC MAKE YOU WANT TO RIP THEIR EARS OFF??????????????????????????????????????????????

PLEASE tell me that when you hear something like this you set them straight!  PLEASE!

Is this happening to you?

Pregnancy Busted

I learned a new thing the other day talking to Erica B. about that pregnancy show where the grandmothers started rumbling.

I was like...the poor young lady just looked so bad and I felt sorry for her.  Erica B. said that the girl was just pregnancy busted. 

Me:  Aaaaaarrrrooooooooooooo?????

And she went on to explain that some people just get so swole all over that they just look a mess. 

Hmmmmm...

What about you?  Were you pregnancy busted?  Have you ever heard that term?  How long did it take before you started looking like yourself again?

Tell the truth and shame the devil!

From My Inbox...

Monnie, please post this anonymously. 

I would like to know what other women do about vaginal odor.  I am very clean, I don't have any diseases but I have vaginal odor sometimes that really bothers me.  My doctor hasn't been much help.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FEMALE

 

I truly HATE when men refer to women as 'FEMALE.'  I remember the first time I heard it used in a way that made damn lip curl was by Ice Cube.  He said it and I frown-t the hell up immediately.  I mean sure...there are some instances when the word is used properly (usually when speaking of the actual BODY) but not in the way young men and men seem to be using it these days.

I know why it irks the shit outta me...what about you?  Do YOU have a problem with it?  Are YOU cool when a man refers to you or another woman in your presence as 'FEMALE?'  Do you correct them? 

I ARE Sexy Hell!

I know a woman who wears jeans, t-shirts or fleece and sneakers all the time during the week.

So do I.

We had lunch together one day last week and she was wearing jeans, a t-shirt and a fleece.

So was I.

The conversation eventually got around to why she was all slumpy acting.

Her:  I don't know.  Something is wrong but nothing is going to change so I guess I should get over it.

Me:  Da hell?  You just told me absolutely nothing.

Her:  I know...I just don't feel like a woman anymore.  I don't feel...you know...sexy.  That's why I dress like this. (She plucked her fleece as she said it.)

Me:  Um...you know I'm basically wearing the same ish right?  And I'm sexy hell.

Her:  (noticing what I'm wearing for the first time) Oh...yeah...you are huh?

Me:  Yes...I ARE.  Do you think I feel like a woman and sexy?

Her:  But you are.

Me:  I always feel like a woman cuz well...that's what I ARE.

Her:  Why do you keep saying ARE?

Me:  Keep up...I'm goofy.  Do I feel sexy right this minute?  Um...not really cuz I'm not thinking about it.  It's not the time nor the place so it seems the only disconnect between you and I is that you don't feel like a woman and you think you should be walking around oozing sexytime or something.  What's that all about?

Her:  I don't know.

Me:  Sounds like YOU'RE making up a problem that's simply not there.  Like...you have a NEED to find something wrong with you that's so big in your head and such a NON-something so you can't find a solution.  Good luck with that shit.

Her:  Huh?

Me:  Think on it...it'll come to you cuz my food is getting cold and I can't STAND cold food.

So...do YOU understand what I was trying to tell her?  Did it make sense?  Do YOU feel sexy?  If you don't...why don't you?

What say YOU?

I've seenT this around the net more than a few times in the past week and yeah...I have my opinion of it BUT...I'd like yourN. 

Ovulation Pain, PMS Woes

Dear Single and Looking Women:

Interesting question from a poll I just read: 

What Would Make You Happier Than Having A Man?

Hmmmmm...

Someone told me recently that they love this blog because we have an extraordinarily high group of married women around here and it gives her hope.  She says she believes in the power of being around what you want to be which is a wife.

I never thought about it like that.

What say you?

Pretty Girl!

When you were growing up...did anyone tell you that you were pretty?

Tell the truth and shame the devil!

Dear womenfolk:

If you were a dude...knowing what you know now...would you be a good dude always or would you play the field as long as you felt like it?

Dear Single and Looking Women:

Do you think it's "false advertising" to wear Spanx and push up bras when meeting new people?

(I need all new male friends.  Seriously.  They on some other ish...)

Tell the truth and shame the devil!

Did you buy your wedding dress in a smaller size because you planned on dropping a few pounds for the wedding?

Dear Women:

Do you care when a man starts losing his hair?  Like...does it make him unattractive to you?  Do you think about it AT ALL?

What say you?

Married women should say ‘I don’t’ to changing their name, study suggests

Did you change YOUR name?  Will you? What do you think of all this?

Hmmmmm...Scenario...

You're having sans ropas with a casual guy.

The birth control method you are using fails or breaks.

Would you go to the doctor for a morning after pill the next day?

Question...

Did you wear fancy lingerie on your wedding night?

Always Infinity

Ladies...lean in. 

Menfolk...um...go catch up on some ESPN news stuff...

Dear Wymen Folk:

How do you feel about birth control thingys that stop your Midol Week?

PCOS

What do you know about PCOS and endometriosis?

Let's talk about Midol Week...

****NOTICE!  Menfolk...I'm sorry...yall may take this opportunity to go scratch something.  LOL!

Something I noticed a long time ago was that women just don't discuss Midol Week except to say something like..."I'm PMSing so leave me the hell alone!"

I've noticed, during my lifetime that there have been changes in my cycle and I've learned that some of those changes actually meant something I should have been more concerned about.  Since we try and make sure we learn from each other around these here parts...I thought we could discuss and make sure everyone is good and normal or else get on the phone and call the doctor RAT.NOW!

Question...

If you were a boy (man, male, dude), what would you do differently?

Essure

Would you do this?  Essure:  Permanent birth control.

Do you do anything to or have any rules regarding your HAIR during sans ropas?

A-Cyst Me

So...I had a sonogram and bloodwork this morning.  Dr. Sacks came in on Yom Kippur even.  (That dude ROCKS!)

He found a cyst on my left ovary and is concerned that it might make me me have to scrap this cycle and start over.

He's checking my hormone levels and will let me know later today what's what.

Crap.

Have you ever had cysts in or on your ovaries?  What did your doc suggest for it/them?
