You sound like you had a similar reaction to me when I heard about this. Glad to know where's something more to it! I might just have to go see it then!

Well it doesn't HAVE to be, but who doesn't like their drink to glow in blacklight? XD Seriously though, it just looked like the mead I make. Which is...weird. lol.

wild cherry huh? Never realized it looked so weird...

That is just fantastic! I work better black and white, so color that's clean like that just tickles me to that!

*facepalm*

This is an excellent option for me! I do cary a wallet, and even though it probably wouldn't last me too long given my flow, it IS a better option than what I had. Thank you!

Thanks for the input. I actually don't like pads in general. Too many leaks, and there's still that slimy feeling. And yeah, I washed the bill. It's in my dresser. XD

Aw thanks! Hugs for you too!

Mead?

...I don't ever cary a purse. I'm not your average gal in that regard. And I'm on the pill too. It just seems that sometimes when I'm stressed out I get it a bit early though, which is a pain. *sigh* such is life. At least it's over now. Also, no WAY I was using the blanket and pillow! I hate staining anything, not to mention our ONLY blanket and ONLY set of pillowcases. XD

You're telling me.

I wore sandals. Believe me, I thought of that first! There WAS a sponge there under the sink, but I had no idea how long it had been there or who had used it, so I wasn't about to put it near my lady bits.

Disclaimer: Period references ahoy. And detail. Beware I can barely believe this happened to me, as I'm writing about it. It sounds unbelievable. But it is 100% true and will probably at least amuse you. I was left in my new apartment today to wait for a PG&E guy to come make sure our stove and heater work. It was a last minute thing and we were in a super rush to get me over here bright int he morning. Sandals, blanket, pillow, art supplies, computer, and a little packaged food. I would be here till at least 4:30, and I arrived at 8:00 AM. I would have no means of leaving, as my husband would be at work with the car, and no means of going around because, to be perfectly honest, this apartment is in a not very friendly area and I'm not familiar with how to get around. Still, I can write, I can draw. I can pass the time. No sweat! Then the crazy hit. Some of you may remember that I posted about my period problems earlier in this forum. It decided to rear its ugly head today unexpectedly. I didn't notice it was blood rather than normal female wetness until I went to the bathroom, and by that time my panties were absolutely soaked. Stupid period, arriving half a week early! No problem though, I'll just use some toilet paper to... It's about that time I realized that we had no toilet paper. I'm sitting on the toilet, bleeding, no paper of any sort around or anything absorbable. Fuuuuuu..... Well, the only thing I had in my pocket was a ten dollar bill. After debating WTF I'm going to do, I finally suck it up and hold the bill between my legs as I go searching for something absorbent. What I find is receipts, lots of them, in my wallet, a chocolate wrapper and the plastic wrapping from some trail mix. The apartment is empty, we have not moved in yet at all. Again, crap... Still, I tell myself I'm resourceful, I can do this. Think...think... I ended up using plastic wrapping to form, you guessed it, a diaper for myself. I held it together (though not well, it cam undone MANY times) with pieces of the price tag on the trail mix and folded it around my lower half. I filled the plastic with the receipts and chocolate wrapper, really anything absorbent from my wallet. Then I sat, crossed my fingers, and waited. A few hours later, I changed a few of the receipts, and the thing was actually holding. My pants are saved!!! I sat for six hours with a home-made diaper on, and only now was delivered feminine supplies by my husband. Still, if this has taught me anything, it's the value of toilet paper and that I do not like wearing diaper-like things. While it was comforting not to think about leaks, I didn't feel like I could move without any sound. When the PG&E guy came, I was terrified he would hear, and very self conscious. I sat as still as I could till he left. I also hated feeling the collected blood against my skin. Just...very slimy. Yep, I'm definitely a mama, not a diaper-wearer! lol. But now I am clean, dry, and out of that infernal plastic thing. And very anemic. Stupid period. But at least I can laugh about it now, and I hope you can too! tl/dr: I made myself a diaper because my period arrived unexpectedly and it was bazaar and it sucked. the end.

Going through that AS WE SPEAK! I have another week till I have to be in my new place. My landlord sold the property, and the new owner wants everyone out. Peachy, huh. *sigh* I know the frustrating BS that can come with all of this. Just keep your chin up. That's one of the hardest parts, but on the bright side you won't have to deal with a shitty landlord anymore. *hugz* Good luck.

Two old men are playing chess in the park. One sighs and says to the other: "You know, my doctor gave me a new type of adult diaper to wear, and he says I have to have them on all the time! Do you do anything like that?" The other man shrugs and says: "Eh, Depends."

Keep going!!!

Hooray! Good luck in reaching your goal!

Managing diabetes is hard work and takes TONS of will power. I wish you all the best with it, and sorry you have to deal with insulin. It's effective, but it does kind of suck. Just be careful. I'm sure we'd all rather have you alive and a part of the community.

o_0 very very creative, but I don't think I could eat it, knowing what it represents.

...wat.

Loving it. I mean, it's my little pony + Q from star trek. What's not to love?

Thanks. Once I have my new place, I'll let you know.

PONIES! *high five* Erh, sorry, try this: *Bro-hoof!"

I don't even know my new address yet! But that will change around the 10th. Thanks for the offer, why such kindness? I might just have to take you up in that! Never had children, btw.

I have heard of those!!!! Been looking into them actually. Heard you have to get fitted for them, that they cost a little bit? That you can get reusable ones, rather than disposable? Right now I'm moving and have like NO cash to spare, but I seriously would like to use those! Would also be curious to accurately measure how much I bleed in a month too. For nothing more than pure scientific knowledge. XD Thank you for reviving my interest in those!
