A lot of women have a vasovagal response during the insertion because the vagus nerve runs through your cervix. And although most women tolerate the insertion very well, there have been instances where volunteers are running around at ten o'clock at night to get a hold of a faint patient's emergency contact (who is Read more

Wait. Can we talk more about Dr. Bronner's? Why is it bad? Just for your girl parts, or should you not use it as a body wash at all? I love Dr. Bronner's almond, though the religious babbling on the label is confusing and a little weird. Read more

Oh good, I thought I was the only one who nearly passed out when I got my Mirena inserted. Trying to put my pants back on required balance and skills that go out the window after the ungodly pain of an IUD insertion. Fortunately, I'll take fifteen pantsless minutes of a spinning exam room over babies for the next five Read more

I'm totally seeing a head and face on her right thigh, right up by her knee. Is that a body, too? Possibly arms clasped? Is this Pope John Paul II's next miracle?? Someone inform the Vatican!! Read more

It's like a modern day Shroud of Turin. Read more

I'm sorry, but you do take astrology seriously. Denying that in the comments' section of an article you wrote, after googling and reading up on the stuff, looks silly. Ok, so you're not extreme, but so what? You should never compare yourself to extremes, because if you did, no one would be anything. It's like saying I Read more

The gem looks like green howlite. Maybe try searching that on Etsy? Read more

Nothing exact, because those are unique and gorgeous. But I did find some reminiscent stuff. Thanks for occupying the end of my work day!

I have a similar one! I forgot what happened to the other, but I was very upset to lose it. Read more

My first thought when I saw this pic was "Desperately Seeking Susan". Read more

So, every time, and it was a lot, that I typed "Whtie" today instead of "White", it was probably Mercury, right. Good to know. Read more

I don't know. I think this is in response to the attention it got. I do not think prior to this case that they thought there was anything all that wrong with the material. They were sent a lot of quotes that made it perfectly clear it was objectionable, that it advocated assault and harassment. And they were contacted Read more

Can we not get into a "three hour" long diatribe about this guy and his book, since that is exactly what he wants?

Reported. And All The Rage. I can't say anything else, because I'm sure that's what this troll wants. I'll leave it to the Jezzies to post the appropriate GIFS for this POS. Read more

I saw this earlier in xo's but the picture was of a little girl in disney not the castle I thought worst of the skewing of headline than with the castle only Read more

I'm glad that you wrote about this. It is definitely not the first time that xoJane has lied in the headline of a "It Happened to Me" piece. I actually stopped reading them because I felt so misled by the titles of a few of them that it didn't seem worth investing my time there anymore. Read more

i think the picture that accompanied it made it worse than the headline did. With the two of them together you think you're about to read an article about a child who got raped while on vacation in Disney World. Read more

"thus feel compelled to make your own almond milk using organic Sicilian almonds and something called a "nut bag." Read more

It would take a whole lot more than lentils to make me go vegan. Like every vegetable cooked in pork fat...oh wait. Read more
