Has anyone ever had an ectopic pregnancy?
I'm probably being paranoid and it's probably nothing, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. I had a tubal last month and starting this past Sunday, I've been on and off experiencing very sharp pain in the area of my left ovary (I guess). It could just be bad cramps. I have friends whose cramps worsened…

People can be ridiculous sometimes
OK, so I'm not thrilled with what the show is doing with the ASOIAF story in a lot of areas, but I'm not as bad as other people. One of the FB pages I follow shared an article about how the show is going to go on without waiting for GRRM to finish writing and releasing the books. With his track record, this could take…

Dry skin issue -- HELP!
So this is really weird, but I've tried everything so now I'm polling the group here on MFP. I do not have overall dry skin. However, no matter what I try (exfoliation, all sorts of different lotions, even Vaseline -- you name it) my left elbow is dry and rough. All the time. My right elbow is fine -- soft and smooth. The…

Disappointed she didn't ask if their name was Lannister
From Dear Prudence: Q. Is It OK for My 8-Year-Old Boy/Girl Twins to Sleep Together?: My 8-year-old twins sometimes sleep together at night. They each have their own bedroom, but sometimes one will go into the other one’s room at some point and crawl into bed with the other. I have tried to explore with them the reason (are…

Question for men Re: women in skinny jeans
I had dinner out with some friends last night and one of the women wanted it to be "skinny jeans night" for all the women going. Well, I don't actually own a pair of skinny jeans, the jeans I DO have right now don't quite fit and it's August in Florida and quite frankly too hot for jeans. So I didn't wear skinny jeans, but…

The Hound/Arya (spoilers inside)
OK, so this is really a question for book readers since show-only people don't know what we know. WTH! The Hound and Arya do NOT ever reach the Eeyrie and she does NOT ever develop sympathy for him. So I'm concerned about this story change, that they aren't going to show her leave him for dead and she isn't going to end up…

For the men -- Arms on women: Hot or not?

White Walkers, Others and Wights
I have to assume you all know White Walkers and Others are the same thing, right? I've been in a conversation on FB where a large number of people seem to think (in condescendingly so) that the White Walkers are wights and the Others are something entirely different. In the books, GRM referes to White Walkers and Others…

Impotant article on why we should eat clean!

Everyone can agree on that, too. Corn is making all of America fat. The whole harvest is turned into ethanol, high fructose corn syrup,…

Let's discuss hate, shall we?
This is the thread that prompted this post, just for reference: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1207462-i-am-not-feeling-the-love?page=7#posts-18886868 Disagreeing with someone or being blunt is not hate. I doubt anyone on this website cares enough about anyone else here to actually hate them. This is heavily on my…

Whey vs. Weigh
WHEY is something you can eat. WEIGH is your body's mass. C'mon, people (_John_). It's really too bad you ain't as smaht as me.

The Monuments Men
See it. Seriously. Especially if you have even a passing interest in art. And it's a war movie, so even men will like it. ;-) And when I say you will laugh and you will cry, I'm not being cliche. I really did both. Plus, Lord Grantham is in it and you can't beat that.

All about tea -- thank you, Bits!
ETA: That should read, "Thank you, BRits." Many moons ago someone posted a thread about tea and some of the Brits on this site gave me some advice. Namely, that the tea you all put milk into is English breakfast and then pointed out that levels of sweetness and amounts of milk were a matter of personal taste, so I should…

My fiance can be such a jerk sometimes
I'm really trying hard to do this whole lifestyle change thing and I like to exercise outside. It gets dark so early these days, though, and I can only go after work. We're really close to the projects in Baltimore and he keeps telling me I shouldn't run there at night, but I NEED to get my workout in. I'm pretty sure he…

Surprising workout songs
When I workout, I of course throw in the headphones. I have an MP3 player with about 1,300 songs on it. At one point I made a workout playlist, but eventually just decided to let it play whatever and skip over anything that wasn't working for me. Needless to say, there is a wide variety of music that accompanies my…

Hating Sansa
A while ago, I read a blog that mentioned people really hate Sansa. At the time, I was only part-way through book one and season 2, but I couldn't think of a reason to dislike her as a character, so I asked a friend who has read all the books and seen all three seasons. She told me that people don't like Sansa for two…

I can't decide if I should work out today
So, I fell out a second-story window this morning and landed on my leg. There's a bone sticking out funny, but I'm not sure if it's broken or just bruised. I mean, it hurts, but whatever. Do you all think I should rest it or just suck it up and go do some squats?

Girls (the TV show)
So, I started watching last night. I think I got through the first three (pilot and first two episodes). For some reason, from what I'd heard, it was along the Sex and the City lines, but it just seems so dark and depressing to me. Is it supposed to be or am I just macabre?

I think it's finally time to quit
I have a lot of friends on my FL L-- they live near and far and it's a great way to keep up with everyone. I've enjoyed to social aspects and I keep the drama as much to a minimum as I can. I know others don't like it, but I always have. But today ... today! I "liked" a post from the Red Sox Facebook page and Facebook --…

WWII vets storming the Mall
Am I the only one who laughed? I mean, it's really awesome and touching and all of that, but when I saw the video, all I could think was that it looked like something Monty Python would have done. I'm going to hell for that, right? (Just to clarify: I do not think what they DID was funny. It was pretty awesome. It was…
