Standard procedure for the Parents (or Other Relatives) are Coming: Clean. Clean more. Dust. Get the cat fur off the couch. Take down the magnetic poetry with the x-rated words. Take down any religious humor. Pretend we go to church. Don't swear. Pretend politics doesn't exist.
And why? Well, I love some of the relatives and I don't want to be the cause of their imminent funeral. The rest of them? I have better things to do than argue with them.
Okay, and there is quite a bit of Catholic guilt. But I'm getting better at dealing with it! Really!
@la.donna.pietra: Me too. I've seen it on the news, in the paper, and now here. Yay. I wish her strength and the ability not to be defined by the picture, abuse, or the lottery winnings.
@LorelaiLeigh: While annoying, it's the law. And if the manager finds out the cashier broke the law, the cashier could be out of a job. So bring your ID - being a cashier ain't that much fun sometimes.
While I'm happy that Jezebel provides information on different menstrual options, I am tired of "oooh, the Cup is the greatest thing ever and you have to use it too!".
Can we have a discussion about tampons sometime? Maybe the pros and cons of different brands? And the same for pads, sponges, etc.
