taking surveys  
I don't know whether to be amused or frustrated. One of my current time wasting pursuits is taking surveys at MySurvey.com, and a survey about menstrual products came up. The only options it gave me for which menstrual products I use are pads and tampons, and now it's asking me more and more detailed questions about pads! I ended up answering based upon my past pad usage (I only switched to cups last January), and sent them the following email.

I just took a survey related to menstrual products, and I was unable to answer the questions accurately and truthfully. One of the questions asked whether I used pads or tampons more, and I do not use either: I use a menstrual cup and reusable cloth pantyliners. The questions then continued to ask me in more detail about my pad usage, and again none of the options were relevant to my own usage. Other women also use natural sponges as another option.

Survey questions asking which products people use should allow an "other" answer. And surveys about menstrual products should include all options that women actually use.

Small Pink Fleurcup for sale  
I've only used this through one cycle, and I haven't cut the stem at all. It's just too firm for my tastes. I've gone back to using my divacup.

I will boil this and sterilize it before sending as well as include a milton sterilizing tablet with the cup so you can sterilize it again. Instructions are included also.

$26 shipping included. Paypal & US only thanks!

how did i survive before my cup?  
I just spent 5 hours at church...lots of stuff going on there today. Anyways...I had to empty my large Divacup every hour to hour and a half. Annoying, but would have been twice as often with tampons. So, even though I had to wear a cloth pad for backup (I always do on my heavy days anyways) I at least didn't have to visit the bathroom as much as I would have before I had this WONDERFUL cup. Or to have to remove a waaaay too full super plus drippy tampon and change a disposable pad a few times. Plus I didn't have to take anything to the bathroom with me...that is definitely a perk. Just sooooo happy I have a cup. (And why couldn't my heavy days happen when I'm just home all day???) Now off to educate females everywhere about these wonderful inventions (said in my best superhero voice.)

Price check please  
My wife wants to sell her Drta, nude, but doesn't know how much to ask for her.
Can anyone give me a price check on her? She's sold out and is selling for $300 in box.
She has her origional face-up and wig (with pigtails and hairbaubles).
Her middle is a little loose, but not floppy. All other joints are good.

And no...  

I still haven't slept yet.

I even ate turkey to see if it would put me to sleep.

It didn't.

I would cry, but I am too tired for tears.

Whispful sigh!!!

Pretty happy about that.


Ahh...I hope I can sell things more.
We really need money, and it doesn't

Discreet washing in public!!! finally.  
(hee hee, i changed my icon)

So I was thinking, i just got a new shower curtain and it is washable, water RESISTANT, and semi-see through. So whever i put it under the full force of the shower head there was a mist going through! that sparked something. If it were to "disappear" from the bathroom, i can sew cup pouches out of them. So then you can just pull the bag out of your purse, put the cup in it, get out of the stall, and wash it without people knowing. Its like a built in strainer!! I took pics of it-

It is sorta hard to capture the beauty of this curtain lol bc it is not grey it is blue. And the close up is to show it is woven with plastic NOT MATERIAL COATED WITH A SEALANT.
i was thinking about making them and selling them, but jeeze anyone can get a shower curtain. lol
So if you can find this kind of shower curtain at your house then you can make a cup pouch/strainer : )

**NOTE**
make sure whenever you buy it, it says water RESISTANT, not water PROOF.
well anyway good luck with your pouch making!!

I FREAKIN' LOVE MY CUP!!!  
Ok, so I know I've said this before, but this period it just hit me again - I LOVE MY CUP! It makes everything so much cleaner, easier, convenient, lovely! This is my 11th period with a cup and I wish I had found out about cups when I started menstruating 9 years ago! So far I have converted both my younger and older sister to the cup and my mom is totally OK with my little sis using one! Also, I have told a number of my friends and they were all interested in cups when I told them.

Well, my 1-year anniversary for successfully using a cup is coming up in January and I want to do something to celebrate. Just a little private celebration for myself. I was thinking about buying a new cup but I don't *really* need another one and money is tight. Do any of you ladies have any ideas for what I could do? Have any of you celebrated your cup anniversaries and if so, what did you do?

Saturday night...  
Let's try to present my day as a list: (just to be more interesting)...........

10-12am: Read Handmaids Tale p. 167-200 something ^_^ accomplished one of the readings (4 more to go!!)

12-1pm: Took a shower, ate lunch getting ready for youth choir later

1pm-3pm: Tried to read other books that are supposed to be read before monday (failed) watched half of episode 5 "You're Beautiful" (Gawd.. I'm just so productive, no?)

3pm: Went to TOYS "R" US to buy gifts for a baby christening tomorrow, my dad will be a godfather
purchase: this baby walker thingy and a stuffed animal
Went to Dollarama to buy gift wraps etc.

4pm: Went to church to practice in youth choir

7pm: Mass time. Yep we have a 4 hour choir practice, but I don't notice the time really... I love going to choir to be quite honest and even if I had a lot of homework, I would sacrifice my time for choir, its one of the only times I felt I could really do something personal for God and its also fun and there's food ^_^ (and ALOT of talented, musical people like man seriously).

8pm: Mass ended. Went over neighbour's house because of Manny Pacquiao (famous filipino boxer) he had a fight just an hour or two ago, my neighbour paid $60 for pay-per-view just to watch the match against a Puerto Rican guy, Cotto. It was my first time watching Pacquiao's matches, and gotta admit... man HE IS GOOD. and even though I freak out whenever I see people getting hurt/punched/bleeding... it was exciting and our reactions were hilarious.. so many filipinos must be cheering out there, MAN talk about patriotic pride! LOL I felt really sorry for the opponent though, his face was... well swelling and bleeding.. not a pretty sight.



11:28pm: Going to go and watch where I left off in "You're beautiful" *fangirl* ><;; and debating whether she should watch New Moon next week, or This Is It (Michael Jackson--my idol!) or 2012 (end of the world movie ... uh.. don't wanna be depressed-- and let me tell ya, I get depressed when I see things like these).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3:00am: Watching ep. 6 of You're Beautiful... HOLY SHIETT.. i JUST realized... Park Shin Hye also acted in "Tree of Heaven"!!! holy crap SHE IS A GOOD ACTRESS!!!! I should've realized this earlier.. OMG! I'm usually good at recognizing people(wow):



Wow.. I actually did this on paint.... its 3AM right now.. what the heck am I doing... XD *goes back to watch ep. 6*

Mommyhood :D  
Just a quick post, my mom is here to mind the baby for a little while so I'm kicking back...

Being a mom is really amazing, even if it doesn't quite seem real yet. I'm definitely very busy though! My MNF arrived today and I hid it in the art room (from my mom, not from husband), and it will be a few days before I get to open her. SO, SO worth it. And never mind the kicking back... looks like she needs fed. <3

Gerrrr, Snarl... RANT!!!!  

I will NOT blow up the world today!

I will NOT blow up the world today!

Just because people are stupid, annoying and rude!!!
Is no excuse to blow up the world today...

Just because people use you, ignore you and piss on you,
is no excuse to blow up the world today...

Just because no one has manners or the brains of a dead nat,
is no excuse to blow up the world today...

Just because November SUCKS big time
is no excuse to blow up the world today...

Just because you haven't slept in five days...
well... that might be a good reason...
but we will still refrane from blowing up the world today...

I think I really hate this November,
and I am really am just too tired to blow up the world today...

*This rant has been kindly brought to you by the crazy sleep deprived part of my warped brain.
Thank you for your time, you may return to your normal life now.*

waterproof menstrual cup pouches  
i'd like to buy a waterproof menstrual cup pouch for my sis. does anyone know of an online store or maker? i checked etsy but no one seems to make them waterproof.

thanks.

EDIT: i thought a waterproof pouch might be useful sometimes if she wants to rinse her cup quickly with water and store. it wouldn't matter if some water was left. however, i'll be sure to tell her not to use the waterproof pouch all the time.
