oh man. cramps

[DeadSwan]

and what with me out of painkillers.


oh my. this reeeeally hurts.


i don't care if periods are gross. we're the motherfucking bearers of life, so fuck off if you don't like it.

[DeadSwan]

fucking-a. my legs are bloating up like a dead, water-logged hooker.


i can actually feel the water...moving...it's quite discomforting.

and uncomfortable.

owwwwwwwwwwwwww

[Samsa]

you know what? i have this funny idea that tamposn actually are the main cause of pain. you know? especially after it's been in there for awhile adn it's like really filled up with blood or something. because it seems that i'll have horrible cramps then i'll change the tampon and it will feel better. but of course the process of putting the tampon in is horribly painful :erm

I was going to say something but the test audience didn't go for it.

yeah, i'm bleeding, bloated and hormonal. i wouldn't try any funny bizness.

[Samsa]

but that playtex gentle glide crap is bad for the environment. i only do the stuff that's 100% biodegradable. except i use instead sometimes :X

maybe i'll invest in a keeper some day

The same thing happened to me on Sunday/Monday. I had this generic brand shit, but it's absolute crap for cramps. I wound up taking about a dozen every few hours. I'm surprised I didn't get sick from OD'ing on them.

I felt like I had a really deep, throbing, raw gash between my legs. It was fucking disgusting. I hate periods.

yeah, i mean, i understand their function, but why do they have to hurt so goddamn much? why can't the blood just kind of peacefully leak out and we could get on with our lives? i mean, why do my legs have to swell up? wtf does that have to do with anything?

Chapter 3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which HaShem G-d had made. And he said unto the woman: 'Yea, hath G-d said: Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'

2 And the woman said unto the serpent: 'Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat;

3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, G-d hath said: Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.'

4 And the serpent said unto the woman: 'Ye shall not surely die;

5 for G-d doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as G-d, knowing good and evil.'

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves girdles.

8 And they heard the voice of HaShem G-d walking in the garden toward the cool of the day; and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of HaShem G-d amongst the trees of the garden.

9 And HaShem G-d called unto the man, and said unto him: 'Where art thou?'

10 And he said: 'I heard Thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.'

11 And He said: 'Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?'

12 And the man said: 'The woman whom Thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.'

13 And HaShem G-d said unto the woman: 'What is this thou hast done?' And the woman said: 'The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.'

14 And HaShem G-d said unto the serpent: 'Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou from among all cattle, and from among all beasts of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; they shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise their heel.'

16 Unto the woman He said: 'I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy travail; in pain thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.'

17 And unto Adam He said: 'Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying: Thou shalt not eat of it; cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.

18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.'

20 And the man called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

21 And HaShem G-d made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins, and clothed them.

22 And HaShem G-d said: 'Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.'

23 Therefore HaShem G-d sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

24 So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubim, and the flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way to the tree of life.

tampons aren't painful to put in, I only use tampax cardboard one, i used to use playtex...but i like the convenience of being able to flush everything.

i've never had the problem of the tampon being the source of my cramps, but that might also be due to the fact that i change the tampon everytime i go to the bathroom and i pee like every 20 mins...plus stomach cramps don't get me (i've been through muuuuuuch worse shit down there than some itty bitty bloodclot trying to get thru my cervix.....), its the back cramps that get me....ohhh the back pains, i'm aching just thinking about it

[DeadSwan]

i really think we should bring back what some of the native americans used to do. they used to put all the menstruating women in a teepee in a separate part of camp. wouldn't that be cool? we could just sit there and eat cheetos and omelettes and those chocolate donuts they sell in gas stations and bitch about men and paint our fingernails and watch golden girls and give each other hugs and everything! that would be sooo great. like a big ol estrogen fest slumberparty.

I don't think you'd find any man who'd have a problem with that.

Your desc of a "dead waterlogged hooker" made me giggle. I'll leave you with this (courteosy of the onion).

i must be delusional...i thought the topic read: "oh man...craps"

...and that idea about females isolating themselves from everyone else is a good one, but i personally would rather just be left alone. everything and anything is potential for me to get pissed at.
