I'm pretty late to the party here, but I guess I'm the only one who found the remark about 'oh, you'll forget all about that when you meet The One' to be really condescending? I have plenty of friends who adopt this patronising attitude, and I find it misguided on a number of counts.

Sometimes the petty stuff you worry over is the start of a decent relationship. Sometimes it continues in a relationship or marriage (and is not necessarily a sign that the other person is not worth the effort). Given the high divorce rate, clearly getting married is not the happily ever after, close the door on all the petty crap, people assume it will be. And lastly, what if there is no 'The One' kind of relationship? It doesn't happen to everyone, so it seems a slightly obnoxious thing to say.

I just needed to get that off my chest (it's something that has been bothering me coming from other people). Aside from that, I loved this installment!

@Yaffle: i didn't say that you'll forget about it when you meet "the one." i just said that you'll realize later on that the things that seemed like a big deal really aren't.

You should have heard my howling laughter when that bit popped up. Scared many a cat.

If you're worried about peeing on the string you can reach around from behind and hold the string.

I always thought "can you pee with a tampon in" was a question asked by teenage boys who knew nothing about the female anatomy.

Rich, the Garden State emblazoned on your shirt is a tub of win.

Another great installment in which I learned things. In a matter of a few short minutes I learned that people use Crisco as a lube, AND that this is a bad, bad idea.

I'm confused as to the random Italy stuff... but that could be because I have had drinks.

I am actually dealing with a wishy-washy male at the moment and I cannot even expound on how comforting what you had to say was, Tracie. Thanks.

Oh my GOD I change my tampon every time I pee, and one time at a party, after I had broken the seal and I had to go frequently, my friends called me out on this. But it just seems so...ick! Also, I can't actually pee with a tampon in...so.

@randomnessish:

If you can't pee with a tampon in it's possible it's not in far enough. You reallly have to shove that sucker in there as far as it can go. Otherwise problems arise.

@randomnessish: To me, changing a tampon that often is way worse than peeing on the string. It's all dry and scratchy.

@garconne est grise: YES. This is why I still marvel at the wonder that is the menstrual cup. As someone who pees constantly (what can I say, I drink a lot of water), the dryness thing suuuuuuucked...but now I never have to worry about it! Thanks, Diva Cup! *cue cheesy smile and music*

Well, the little pamphlet you get in your tampons says you can... but, I find it nearly impossible to keep the tampon dry after peeing. You know, unless you're super dexterous with a tampon string.

@Awakeonatrain: you can just just tuck the string into the vestibule of your lady hole. very easy, stays dry, and doesn't get tugged on when you are moving around.

@Awakeonatrain: Everytime someone says or writes the word "vestibule", I instantly think of that "Friends" episode since that's the first time I'd ever heard it and so now I'm imagining Chandler Bing being stuck in a vagina vestibule w/ Jill Goodacre.

@homovegetarian: Yay, I do this too. Tuck the string up where it stays nice and dry but is still easily accessible. I also bend forward a bit so that the pee travels away from the vestibule rather than towards it.

Also, Rich, I saw your vh1 interviews with Megan and Brandy (i?) C. and I thought they were really funny. It would be amazing if they could co-host a pot psychology.

I totally know what Tracie is saying, that petty guy shit seems so big when its happening but you'll eventually meet someone you click with and it'll all seem so, like, obvious that the other stuff wasn't worth it.

@bluebears: My husband and I have discussed our past drama-relationships, and both of us think that when you are in the middle of it and asking every damn person you know "what do you think I should do? does he/she like me? why is he/she doing that?" then it just isn't right. Because when we finally met each other, there were no questions. It was just right.

But until you have had a "right" relationship, it is really hard to know that.
