No, Eris, you used to be from Vermont. *cackles evilly*
Actually, tampons rather make me squirm too, and I've got the chromosone mix that says they shouldn't. But I think the thinks are absolutely awful. I don't think we've ever had any in our house except when we got samples in the mail. Hubby will, though, buy sanitary napkins upon request.
Just because I live in this state now, does not make me responsible for the fact that the people who live her are warped.
I would like to submit Detroit, Flint, Ski, Dan, and Redlass as evidence.
You speak as if being warped is a bad thing.
I don't understand.
No, I'm just pointing out that, while I may be a symptom, I'm not the cause...
At least we have you all in one place now. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Right. Like the guy from California should be casting aspersions...
Oh ICK. Sanitary Napkins are disgusting. :barf:

Wow, you've seen Redlord's codpiece too?
Redlass, did you show it to everybody?
The man wore it on stage and it is prominently displayed in an 8 by 10 picture on the walls of a local theater. It isn't like the humongo zebra-striped codpiece with bells on it is a secret.
Can you do images here? http://riverwalktheatre.com/images/p...ight/tn-16.jpg
And MJ, I agree, sanitary napkins are disgusting, but so is the whole process, eh? I still think they're the lesser of two evils when compared to tampons.
Oh My! I never realized that is has bells on it!!!
Does he ever sing:
"I've got bells that jingle jangle jingle, as I go riding merrily along" ?
I think if I told that I might get accused of revealing too much information. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Alas, he had to return the codpiece to the theater company after the show was over. And the one he wore last summer was, well, much less ostentatious. In fact, I'm not even sure it was noticeable.
Want to hear the funny part? That codpiece was Mach 2. Apparently the first one that was made was considered too obscene to put on stage.
I was going to bring up "the keeper" but as a newcomer here, I didn't want to cause anyone pain.
Sorry, but on a "gross" scale, in my mind TheKeeper wins. Sounds messy! [img]eek.gif[/img]
I'm sure we've all heard the Horrible Tampon Cancer facts, but as the resident Sexual Health fanatic I can't hold back: if you must dehydrate your body with a foreign object that is not alcohol and does not go in your mouth, make it unbleached. The little cotton bits stick to the inner wall and can contribute to cervical cancer due to a whole bunch of nasty chemicals in them. Unbleached cotton cuts down on the risk.
Personally, I'm a huge fan of lunapads (cloth) and I know many women who swear by The Keeper, a small rubber cup you insert, and I can just tell Jax is going to be green by now so I'll shut up. [img]wink.gif[/img]
OK, granted that for the past fifteen years I really haven't had to worry much about any of these things, but... I've never heard of either a lunapad or a Keeper. Do you get them in the grocery stores? Do they come with directions?
(Man, why do I feel like I'm 15 again rather than 35?)
I am a firm believer that the "Y" chormosome is no longer a bad thing to have...
You can find them online or in any progrssive sex shop or health centre. Look out for feminist places - they usually have the scoop on where to find Keepers and cloth pads. There are also Goddess Moon pads, a different brand from lunapads, but essentially the same thing. Up in canada, the supermarket Capers carries them in its natural health section.

There are some things that I just don't want to "keep" - know what I mean?
Redlass - there was a whole discussion about Keepers at EA a while back - in H&F. Actually - you participated. I moderated you! [img]smile.gif[/img]
There was? And I was there?
Wormie, you're scaring me. Why do I have not a single memory of this? (No, please don't say it, I have a five-year-old to tell me I'm not very bright.)
You'd think I'd remember being moderated. Wait--was that when I thought I was in the women-only forum, but I wasn't? But I thought that was a discussion on birth control.
Ack, but I'm addled!
I could moderate you if you like, Redlass...

See - You were so stunned at having been moderated you completely forgot about "the keeper".
Wow! This thread really is about tampons!!!!
I can't beleive I didn't bother reading this before now. I thought this was just a thread to introduce the EA'ers. Oh well, its amazing the things you can find out about Jax in every thread that eris starts. [img]wink.gif[/img]
I loved that little angel. Some people will do anything, huh?
Well... not *anything*...
<font size="2" face="Comic sans ms, Helvetica, sans-serif">You could try, love... [img]wink.gif[/img] Even Redlord has had only limited success at it and he's been working on me for nearly 19 years now.Quote:

You *really* don't want to tempt me like that.
[img]wink.gif[/img]
But I like to tempt you. IT's so much fun!
Besides what fun would making me moderate be? I think the reason you like hanging out with me is 'cause I'm a flaming liberal/radical feminist who is also a fundamentalist Christian and a mommy gamer. [img]biggrin.gif[/img] With that sort of combo, I don't look at you as if you're strange. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I dunno, I think you can still look at her like she's strange...
Hey, who let you out from under the futon?
Must have been Pixie.
