I'm only 38, so I'm not ready for the old hysterectomy. And while I'm not yet sure if I want kids (husband isn't either), I like the idea of preserving my fertility as long as I can, so I'm really trying to put off the ablation thing.

But goddamn, maxi-pads are expensive. Even at Costo. And I'm going through 36+a week.....

I should have bought stock in Kotex.

Oh--here's a joke

What do you do when your kotex catches on fire?

throw it on the floor and tampon it.

get it?

tampon it?

stamp on it??

???????????????????????

is this thing on?
