I have a mermaid shoot today... and mother nature decided to give me my monthly gift. fffffffffffffffffff-- :gah::headwall:
@ Seaglass Siren - please tell me you use a menstrual cup, and if you ladies don't, I HIGHLY recommend giving them a try. Not only are they environmentally friendly, they are budget, and health friendly too. I have found that they make life in the water much more manageable than other forms of personal products. Just my experience :)
my friends have recommended the cups as well. i don't use a menstrual cup though because the sight of my own blood and the thought of even touching it terrifies and grosses me out (kind of a stupid thing to be terrified of but what can i do =_=). i make up for lack of environmental friendliness in that department by recycling and disposing of my other waste properly, shop locally for food, and drink brita water as opposed to constantly using bottled water.
anyway. come hell or high water i will be there. i'll probably just be dry.
Yep, we all have that thing that squicks us out, and if your own blood does it for you, then that just about murders the idea of a cup! Hope your shoot goes well and that you get some great pics out of it!
I just found a cricket in my bed
It grosses me out, too, but not even because it's my blood. It's because I feel as though it'd be like putting a pee cup in there and collecting that throughout the day. It just seems less sanitary to me, personally. But I know not everyone feels the same about it, and I respect anyone who uses them especially if it's for the environment. :)
I found a site that lists the pros and cons and it seems pretty neat as an alternative as long as you sterilize it thoroughly after each use. The negative side of that is that you'd have to use a bunch of water to boil it and sanitize it each time.

They are nowhere near that labor intensive. Yes, after each cycle, they should be thoroughly cleaned, but during the cycle? Good, old fashioned, antimicrobial soap, or a soap made specifically for the cup. because they don't absorb blood, you're also lowering the risk of TSS- but again, they definitely aren't for everyone!
Just remember, once out of a package, nothing is sterile!
"Bunch of water"
I wouldn't call a litre a month a bunch of water, but that's me
Gotcha. I just figure I may as well keep my usual monthly routine, but to each their own. :)Quote:

i was carrying Juniper downstairs this morning, and I slipped and fell. I dropped her and rode the stairs on my ass.she's unhurt, just mad at me. But I hurt my butt and upper back so bad all I could do was lay there sobbing and trying to catch my breath for a good while. Then it took like half an hour to get my husband on the phone since he was working on some machinery in the hospital and not at his desk. The ER ordered X-rays which came back normal, gave me some Tylenol, and sent me upstairs to Labor & Delivery to make sure the baby was okay. Everything was good there, too. Baby is doing "textbook perfectly" according to the doctor.
But now I can baaaaaarely walk. I'm taking tiny baby steps to get anywhere and I have to get husband to help me in and out of bed. My ass is going to be spectacularly bruised, and I'm worried it's still going to be fucked up in a couple weeks when I have the baby and make pushing extra fun. >:C
Noo!! Omg, I'm so glad you and the baby are okay! I'll be praying that it won't be more painful or difficult to deliver than it would have otherwise been! Feel better soon!! :hug: :(Quote:

My parents are starting to build a house on the bay. We stopped by the property to see how the construction was going and I walked out to the end of the dock. The bay water was very still and once I got to the very edge of the dock, a dolphin surfaced way out in the deep area of the bay. Then another one came up much closer and it was in front of the buoy that marks where the drop off starts. I was glad to see a dolphin pod again, but I was really upset that I hadn't worn my swimsuit and brought my monofin with me today. I figured I wouldn't see dolphins today. :(
One day I will be ready and I am going to swim out there with the wild dolphins. They are very fast though and they might not care about me, but I want to try... :(
It'll happen eventually, Alea!
Well I recently started saving up for silicone and molding supplies only to have it eaten up by a spun rod bearing in my work truck. Spent most of the weekend pulling the motor out and tearing it down only to find the crankshaft is dead on the #2 rod journal. Well back to square -1 again.
Graah!
I'm off on a course for my work this week, so I left my colleagues a message about what they had to do to get stuff sorted out, but none of them did something! So now I'm here, working from home in the evening, sorting things out for my work. Sigh!
