Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

Well, I visited the CCC office and I told him, "please, it will be a relief if you have a diagnosis for me." He said I was suffering from acute stress (which isn't very exotic or sexy, LOL) and that on a scale of 1 to 10 I was a 5. Lots of behavioral advice about healthy diet, yoga, breat...

Wait a second, aren't there all sorts of times where a fertilized egg implants but pregnancy doesn't actually occur? And a woman may not even be aware that it happened? The only way that happens is if the woman miscarries. Fertilized egg + implantation = pregnancy (though some say it begins at ovul...

No, it's quite alright. I had always been under the impression that Plan B and other morning-after contraception pills were meant to prevent a fertilized egg from implanting. This significantly changes my opinion on them. That was also my understanding of how EC's worked, though I've read a few dif...

Yes, but are they also strong and good-looking?

*flexes biceps* Yep.

I am definitely not in my 40's.

You can if you add all of them to a list (like what you put your family members and classmates in).

Does he live in Arizona?

...I don't actually know. We don't keep in touch. He was a baby when I was 15-ish, so if we're playing the do-you-know game, then he's quite a bit younger than us. Or just me. Because I don't know how old you are.

My cousin's name is Mahonri.

So... states are trying to withdraw from the union, now? Wow. For those interested, this article shows how many people have signed secession requests in each state: http://www.examiner.com/article/citizens-from-20-states-have-filed-to-secede-from-the-united-states Texas is the closest to the 25,000...

!!! Well, I was only perusing while my friend ABANDONED ME for a few minutes. It was "invite your friend to Church" day in her ward, so she invited me and most people assumed I was an investigator. It was interesting. That's pretty great - little did they know that you'd already learned a...

*gasp* Mico, are you perusing the INTERWEBS at CHURCH?

I guess it comes down to fear and ignorance. A lot of women are very uncomfortable with their bodies, and I think this translates to sex-negative attitudes. A heaping pile o' guilt doesn't help things. I don't know why we should start loathing our autonomic nervous systems! Huh. I guess I just neve...

Question #69681 I find it very interesting that the writers say we should be more open and talk about masturbation and yet choose to use an anonymous pseudonym as their signature. It's a little disappointing that the writers didn't feel comfortable attaching their nyms to the question, though I sus...

Oh, and Zed, as a Canadian, what are your thoughts on people threatening to move to Canada? "Obama's too left-wing for me, I'm going to move to a country that's notorious for being consistently more left wing than the USA ever was. Obamacare will bring this country down, I'm moving somewhere w...

It's a little disappointing that the writers didn't feel comfortable attaching their nyms to the question, though I suspect that may have more to do with keeping the answer BYU-approved than with their willingness to be forthright. And I lol'd at your last paragraph. It's a little disconcerting to e...

I have, and it totally worked. Mmmmmm, baked goods.

What you're describing sound a lot like dyspraxia. Is that what you're talking about? My husband has dyspraxia - it's one of those fun side effects from his stroke - and he is no longer allowed to drive. I've been told that maybe, with time, he'll recover enough to drive and that his dyspraxia alone...

... for me personally turning over child care to a non-parent for large periods of time like that is not something that I feel comfortable with. Something about my four-year-old sister being "babysat" by my brother but really babysitting herself with the TV or wandering off to a neighbor'...

Question about birth control. Good answers! I especially liked when Eirene said, "Back in the real world, nobody should be surprised to find that access to contraceptives reduces abortions." Something about "Back in the real world" was just too funny. :) And I liked that she inc...

So we have some fundamental differences, Portia ... I just don't see why I would want to pay someone to come to my house and do my job. Having a nanny and/or enrolling your child(ren) in a daycare doesn't necessarily mean that other people are doing your job for you. At the end of the day, you're s...
