so for the sake of us all, I've gotta leave...

lately I've been babysitting a little grey-eyed speed demon named Johnny.
the boy can't walk, however he can teleport himself to the cabinet where Mommy keeps the Drain-O.

he has taught himself to sneeze, and does so whenever he wants attention or immediately AFTER anyone says, "God bless you."

Regarding packing, I assume that good wool socks are a given.

And, of course, have to mention being quite jealous. ;)

[jibbsey]

yep, I've already packed a lovely pair of thick, colorful wool socks I got from L.L. Bean.
no to mention a bunch of soft non-cotton quick dry ones.

wheeeeeee!

Yay for good socks. I'll swear by them, even in the heat and swamp-like conditions of florida.

recent deaths?

[jibbsey]

apparently 10 women who suffered blod clots after using the patch just filed lawsuits, but somewhere around a dozen died in the last year? just googlenews the patch. it's been all over.

I just don't know when to trust the media,
or my mom, who is still so sure birth control ultimately causes infertility. right.

[alianthe]

infertility? Wow. That's some outdated scare tactic shit.

Blood clots? Hm. I think I'll ask my doctor. (There's an idea for you.) I know my cholesterol is fabulous and they definitely got a "doesn't smoke" answer from me before proceeding with the prescription. I wonder if those women were simply at higher than normal risk anyway. It's not like it's a different hormone or dosage than other methods that don't have that kind of publicity. The only difference would be the adhesive, which works fine for other drugs.

no, i mean, my whole point was, I specifically asked my doctor. Well, my OBGYN, and she had no clue.
