Awesome! Thank you Redskies for a speedy reply!

How is everyone doing? Any exciting news or YAY moments? I recently started a graphic design job that I really like so far :D After some anxiety problems that lasted me a few months, I am finally starting to feel better. It is a slow road but I am seeing some light at the end of the tunnel which is ...

Hi Scarleteen! Work has kept me busy and I haven't had time to stop by lately. Hope everyone is doing well. :) I am switching the start day for my pills. I used to start on a Thursday night but now am starting on Sunday (it's just easier for me to remember starting a new pack). I took my first place...

It sounds like you have a lot on you right now. I know from experience that sometimes life throws so much at us at once that we can barely catch our breath. I have been under a lot of stress recently concerning a career as well as anxiety and panic attacks triggered by a past problem I dealt with. I...

It really has been terrible - especially since so many folks are saying "well if you don't want those PRIVATE PHOTOS to be leaked you shouldn't take them in the first place." Yes, hackers exist, but there's no fault in assuming something meant to be private will stay private. It's just th...

I absolutely recognise that the way this has been reported has been mostly very disrespectful and completely ignoring of issues of consent and the fact that women's bodies are not, in fact, public property. It's a crappy thing anyway even before that. I'm sorry it's been so triggering for you - tha...

The recents news of this past weekend's crime against several celebrity women (involving a hacker posting private photos of them online) has unfortunately triggered awful things for me and I am limiting myself to only visiting Scarleteen and Netflix on the internet until this has died down. I met wi...

My partner and I are not 100% sure we want to have children. While I love kids I have never been sure I wanted to have any of my own. I have expressed this to many close friends and family who have at times been judgemental of our decision. I think this is a really great article from the standpoint ...

I was very nervous to go for the first time. I think I was most worried that it would hurt. I calmed myself down by remembering that it's just a part of life and most of us with a uterus/ovaries have to do it. The actual exam didn't last that long and my doctor mostly asked me questions and talked t...

CraftyKid: YES, I made the condom cozy! I'm so happy to know I inspired you to make one too. I had a lot of fun with that. It was such a fun idea, I had to do it! My partner loves it too :mrgreen: What color(s) yarn did you use? I had some leftover rainbow colored yarn I used to make a hat for a fr...

I like to knit and crochet, as well. :) My favorite thing to make is dog sweaters, but I also love hats, scarves, shawls, gloves, blankets (I have an ongoing crochet bedspread I started on the road trip to my brother's wedding 3 years ago). I also like to draw with colored pencil or pastels, but I ...

It may be cliche, but I think it is incredible that my body is able to be able to reproduce another human! And that our bodies can heal themselves.

Pros: Very effective when used correctly, you can "see" the birth control working and it's obvious when it doesn't. Not expensive and available at any drugstore or box store such as WalMart, also offers protection against STIs! Cons: A method you have to think about before having sex Ease ...

I've just started making shawls, including a fairly intricate lace one, so right now that's my favorite. But I'm working on improving my skills a lot lately, so I think any sort of challenge is welcome! I've enjoyed making some simple socks and am looking forward to trying out some of the more comp...

Mo yes fiber arts absolutely counts! I am a fiber arts fan myself :) That is really cool what you did with the quilt, I took a "contemporary quilting" workshop a few years ago at a local art museum and loved it. I also combine a lot of my crochet work with my paintings. What are your favor...

That is just too awesome!

Hehe

I had a great time talking with you all about art on the old boards, so here I am making a new art thread! Open to any type of artist here, whether it be visual art, music, writing, film, dance...all things creative! What type of art do you make? Who are some of your favorite artists in your genre? ...

Well, I would like to answer "never" because I never really got actual sex ed, but I did have a "form" of sex ed starting in 7th grade. One day a year in health class was sex ed day in 7th and 8th grade. So in my entire 13 years of school I only had 2 days of sex ed. Health class...

zeitvogel, I love ginger too! It really is good in a variety of things. I like to put it in desserts and beverages :D To answer your question, the best present I've ever had was a greenhouse that my boyfriend made me, completely handmade! It's on wheels so I can move it in or outside if I need to. I...

Heather wrote:Okay, CraftyKid, I'm voting on the bubble-blowing.

This is a truth!

So, the lie was about standing in line for concert tickets. Although, I will say that one time I did stand in line for about 20 hours for a Harry Potter book.

I reviewed on the old boards, but I will review again here for quick reference for other users AND that my experience has changed! So here is my update: Pros: -Highly effective at preventing pregnancy -Helps keep my periods less painful (helps my endometriosis; reduces cramps, mood swings, acne.) -K...

Emma wrote:Is the lie praying mantises? I think they're hilarious-looking.\

Unfortunately not, I am actually quite terrified of praying mantises. Haha! I am not afraid of any other bugs though (except maybe roaches, not really afraid though just grossed out.)

You're welcome.

She hasn't really done anything that's giving any red flags for NOT being interested, so definitely give it another shot! And good luck! I know it can be a little scary putting yourself and your feelings out there.

Wow that is truly scary. I am sorry to hear that you went through that Stephanie. I'm glad to read you are working past the experience.

I have not heard of this until now, thank you for sharing this information with us!
