The Perfect Shower Gift?


This is a Birth Control Pill Case, with alarm.

The red script on the packaging says, "When Timing is Everything."
Now, what I'm wondering is, just who was the target demographic for this item?

Because what this item says to me is:
"Don't forget again, you previously errant uterus."
Of course, this particular dollar store stocks only the finest deeply offensive products.

I like the idea of an errant uterus. Like knights of old, it rides forth on its trusty steed, ready to do justice. If only it didn't look damn silly trying to wear a little helmet.

See, I took the alarm to be the kind of thing you'd want to have if you were worried that someone else was going to hone in on your stash of estrogen.

The progesterone only pills have to be taken w/only a four hour window of a 24 hour day - so maybe it's for that???
But most people take the estrogen/progesteron combo pills - and you could miss them by a much bigger window.
Although I had a friend who took them by the alarm on her watch and still got pregnant.
But I have to say, that is funny as hell, just the thought of marketing that damn thing!! I shouldn't think so much on it, ha! Very hilarious, you find the funniest things,,
Have a great holiday, sweet lady!!

I'm very confused by all of this. Where does that thing go? No wait, I don't want to know.

That sounds like something I'd buy someone for Christmas.

Cause I'm a sucky gift giver.

Happy Thanksgiving.

If you need one of those pill cases, Manion, justice ain't the only thing you're doing.

True, Amanda, we do have to keep vigilant on that score.

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to not conceive, Julie. :)

Go ask Kelly the Eliza, Wiggy.

Well, Eric, at least you're honest.

Very Sad News

Hi everyone, Because friends share in good things and bad and this is important to me, I thought you all might like to know. My mom, who had been battling many health problems, especially during the past few years, passed away Friday night. She was not a perfect person, but her love for me was. I figure if you want to know more, you'll ask. But if I don't seem quite myself for awhile, that's why. Thanks.

The Sock Monkey Project

Image
Recently, due to Arctic Blast 2007 (i.e. a quarter-inch of sleet upon these Dallas roadways), a much-anticipated night of drinking, fooling around and Sopranos was nixed. Did I sulk? Well, hell yes, I did. And then I did some more. But after that, pouting began to bore me and I hit upon a mission: I was gonna make a goddamn sock monkey. Why the flip did this occur to me? Well, I'd talked it up for many years, seeing as how my grandmother gave me one when I was six or seven and it was subsequently so cherished and frequently hugged that the tail developed a hole at the end. As it turns out, my friends listen to me on occasion, so I was gifted with this kit at Christmastime this year. Though my original hosiery simian was far more tricked out than this one, with a red gingham dress and hat that had lace trim, this nostalgia-fueled, red felt vested ape would do nicely on a blustery, pissy winter's night . Besides, the original mon-chi-chi was lost. Generally speaking, I'm n

Two Years

Two years I've been writing this. Two years. Most of you and I have known each other for most of that span.
