Vibrators

1) Most Vibrators for women, do not go inside of them.

2) Men use vibrators to

3) Vibrators can be used during sex with ones partner

You seem to think it is a replacement of men, and feel threatened by them, relax..Why not take the attitude the women on this board are taking about the robots, glad they are taking the kinds of men off the dating scene that would buy one?

Tell yourself, that you are glad the kind of women that use vibrators are off the market, and you wouldn't want them!! Of course most women use the damn things, but hey its a good excuse as to why they are not into you - the inconvenient fact that they seem to be into other guys can be safely ignored.

Vibrators -- 2

If you are thinking about those really scary ones that are two big to believe? Most of those are for guys, think gay.

Get a clue

The male robots, probably mostly for guys to....

Original article: The mother-daughter wars

Only one grown up here

is the one who is not responding to this drivel, my angst ridden 15yr could write.

Was she beaten? starved? Molested by mom's boyfriends? No she had a normal childhood that didn't match a little princesses ideal of how she should be treated. But she took her mom for everything, after all she was raised by her step-mom and her dad, but she changes her legal name to her mothers maiden name? I wonder how her dad feels about that, doubt if the little princess cares.

Oh, and who is the grandkid's daddy, there is no mention of that, perhaps getting pregnant is something her mother knows she is not grown up enough to do. Hey, if her mother couldn't write and be mom, how is it she can?

Rebecca doesn't sound mature enough to be a mom herself.

So how many others

When I lost my virginity, I didn't bleed, and it didn't hurt much. So ....how many people share that experience? Really what percent of virgins bleed? I understood from social anthropology class that most women had methods of putting blood on the sheet, but it didn't come from the women themselves.

No if you bride is a 14/13 year old child, yes she probably bleeds and hurts -- but how many adult women bleed when losing their virginity?

How could she have coerced the girl?

According to the news stories, the boyfriends mom didn't even go to the clinic with the girl - she went there on her own.

No one with her, no one putting a gun to her head. The boyfriends mom faked a consent form and called the clinic.

Sounds to me like the girl wanted to do this, because at the clinic they counsel you, give you choices - -if she had doubts she could have asked for help, left or done anything she wanted.

Now the boyfriends mom is guilty of fraud on a medical document - but that kind of crime usually only comes with a fine, not criminal charges, that comes from the anti-abortion folks, making points with the voters - and the year of prison doesn't fit the crime.

BC effectiveness is not the issue with generic

On some brands of BC, I was sent into rages, were I wanted to beat people into bloody pieces, if I'd stayed on it I'd would have killed someone, as it was they gave me ovarian cyst which lead to major surgery -- turns out estrogen and me are a bad combo. But I could take other pills just fine.

Most women can tell you that the first one they tried didn't go well - even through the version I was taking 30 years ago is no longer on the market. But even the lower dosed modern ones have issues, my daughter gained 30 pounds on her first one in less than 30 days. (Which melted away after she stopped) We finally found one she can take (she is under age, she takes them because her periods once they start, won't stop unless she is on the pill - and she gets anemia pretty bad)

Alot of women can't take the generics.... they have to take the one that has the least side effects for them...

Original article: American Girl power

Repeat much? Salon has done the American Girl dolls before

Why pay 100$ for a doll that will last forever? If broken, can be sent to the manufactures (hospital) and fixed. Your kid drew on it with an ink pen? Call them, and they give you the coolest recipes for removing it.

10 years after you bought the doll, your kid will still have it, still love it, and will probably pass it on to their kids. If you can't afford a new one, buy one in June on ebay -- for the price of a couple of barbies -- cheap plastic dolls (Barbie & bratz) which dress and look like sluts with a waist and breast ratio not found in nature - cartoons you wouldn't want your kidto watch if you cared.

The AG dolls, come with great books - that kids love. The question is why wouldn't you buy the doll vs the plastic crap that comes around each year, that your kid will play with for a week, break and never look at again? You'll save money with these dolls, cause afterwards you only have to get books and clothes for the dolls , which are no more expensive than other books or doll clothes.

Its why you buy fewer, but higher quality shoes and clothes, they last longer, look better and save you money in the long run.
