That OB advert just might be the most incredible thing I have seen in the last decade. Seriously? Who thought of that? Genius!

I did notice the fine print saying that the message was meant for Canadian viewers. I wonder if that means USians are out of luck.

what is OB apologizing for?

You missed the missing OB foofurrah? OMG. They were off the shelves with no explanations for months. I didn't ever read an explanation, but I was so glad they were back I wasn't asking any questions.

Every store I asked in *expected* them in, as in--no one was talking about a discontinuation, and the spaces remained on the shelves for them, but I couldn't find them anywhere near where I work or live. Motherfuckers. I did have a big stockpile, so I only had to venture offbrand for a little while, but I'm keeping stocked up from now.

I think the apology is definitely a post-Old Spice Guy world.

My sister just harassed me for missing two days calling home. Except--I only missed one. Unless I'm taking shopping orders, I call home every *two* days. She sighed and said it felt like everyday. That's so...nice.

I don't use OB, so I wouldn't have paid much attention to the fact that it was off the shelves.

I prefer Instead Softcups myself.

It was all over here for a while. I think I was the first person to ask on Jezebel, in fact. Panicked the hell out of me. I am very brand loyal. It's been a long time now.

I've tried what you use, and it was just too much bother for me.

That is awesome, even though I only watched half of it--I was too busy wondering what they were sorry for and if there was a real explanation anywhere! Even though I don't use them, I remember the furor, here.

I think my kitchen has defective physics today. Everything I'm cooking is taking twice as long as it should.

No hurry, Jilli; it'll be after Xmas, anyway. But I am very excited!

I am very, very happy to not have to spend hundreds of dollars on tampons each year anymore.

Project Fix The Damn Toilet Myself has been canceled on account of The Bolts Are Rusted In Place And I Can't Loosen Them. So, plumber. Turning this $8 project into probably a $100 project. Bleargh.

OK, my kale/quinoa/potato/beans/leeks stew has finally finished cooking, but the split pea soup that I'm trying to make doesn't even remotely look like split pea soup yet. This is getting annoying.

I've had to do thet with The Fucking Nuts Are Airjacked On, So I Can't Change the Goddamned Flat Myself, Jessica.

It's very annoying.

ETA: I mean, I didn't have to call a plumber, obviously, but did have to call Roadside, back in the day when I didn't have it on my car insurance.
