You made a baby--you know a LOT about girls.
You know, wile he's a teenager I think I'd be discouraging him from this kind of 'knowledge'.
Tell him all about the ducks and the echidnas! Though you probably want to leave out the mallard snuff porn. And possibly the corkscrew penis.
Hee. So if he asks about girls, I should distract him? I like that.
Otherwise, I'd have to fall back on personal experience. I met his mother through online dating, maybe I should start there. "You know, son, you can find women on the internet."
Maybe not.
Yay for 5 year clean bill of health, Ginger. I just wish it didn't have to come with random pain.
all the people who promoted coffee enemas
I'm sorry, those folk have it all ass backwards.
Can't get to sleep. As usual.
Welcome Kalliope! (ok, silly question, is that pronounced Kal-e-ope, or ca-lie-a-pea?)
ca-lie-a-pea
This one. She's one of the muses.
ca-lie-a-pea
This is how it sounds in my head.
Waves hello at Kalliope, no matter how her family says it.
Ginger, clean five year mark is a fantastic thing.
Continued pain with no diagnosis is a gigantic PITA, and I wish you resolution and alleviation. SOMEbody has to have an answer. Somebody you don't have to pay buckets of insurance money you don't have.
Kalliope is a gorgeous name, for an inevitably gorgeous girl.
I just discovered "group accupuncture" which isn't nearly as creepy as it sounds and allows me to get regular needling, which helps lots with the chronic pain, without having to deal with insurance or high fees. I am loving it. All the acupuncturists are fully trained and liscensed, but the treatment (fully clothed) happens in a large room with lots of recliners.
Since with acupuncture you are paying as much for the time spent lying on a table full of pins as you are for the actual time spent putting them in and taking them out...it makes the process WAAAAAY cheaper. Like $10 to $30 per visit instead of $80 to $150. Dunno how common this is in other parts of the globe, but it's catching on quite nicely in Portland.
eta: one major con is sometimes other patients in the room fall asleep and snore, which is super annoying. Some ppl bring earplugs, allegedly.
Gronk. Second night in a row with 3 hours sleep.
Work today is going to be
fun
erin_o what I wouldn't give for fees like that! Mine is $110/visit. At least I get to lie there for about an hour, but still.
Welcome to the world, Kalliope.
