I took this stuff in 1999 so it must have been before that, because my packets looked like the picture I posted.

 

If it's anything like other mass tort law cases, they probably didn't disclose stuff they knew. Like, you can say "don't take if pregnant" but they knew (as they lost the lawsuits so it's proven) that the drug would cause birth defects for up to 4 years after finishing taking it (if I recall right, I haven't worked on these cases in six months or so) and didn't disclose that, or disclose that the birth defects could go through the sperm as well as the egg. So even if the mother wasn't on it, a dad on it could provide the same birth defects.

 

Luckily our almost 6-month old is completely healthy after both of us took it. But it definitely wasn't an easy road to get there.

 

holy shit. that is insane! Maybe its a good thing I didn't have a child in my 20's.

 

Speaking of zits, what the hell is with people posting those pimple doctor videos online? It's so nasty. My roommate is obsessed with watching pimples getting drained on youtube and facebook. EWWWWWW.

 

Yeah, working on mass tort medication lawsuits has basically made me never want to take medicine again. In some cases, the judge will order a certain amount to be paid out among all who suffered (who got their lawsuit filed in time) and in one particular instance, the company ended up only paying out in damages 0.5% of the profits they made off the drug. Statistically, big pharm companies kill more people (through hidden side effects) than anything else in the modern world by a vast margin if the lawyer I worked for is to be believed.

 

Yeah that shit is gross.

 

Doc noticed the 2 times he's been in to check on me that I was standing and walking around so he released me already. I just took the best shower of my life. I even shaved my legs which I'm guilty of not doing for extended periods of time lol

 

If I'm not showing them, I'm not shaving them. But now that the warm weather is making a comeback, I've shaved 2 times in the last 2 weeks. My hair comes back really thin which is nice.

 

I'm in the "I'll have pimples forever" camp, unfortunately. Usually not bad, but I have a couple near my eyebrow rn which are terrible.

 

for some reason i thought this was a hot pocket package and i was like "hm interesting i wonder what Hot Pockets contain that they're not safe for pregnant women to eat"

 

Congrats! I'm sure you heard the phrase "Have you pooped today?" About 1000 times.

 

Does anybody know if Pink has any good album tracks? Wondering if I'd be missing much going the greatest hits route with her.

 

Can't Take Me Home and Missundaztood are pretty solid, imo. I haven't kept up with anything after that.

EDIT: I do wonder sometimes if the album is good or if it's nostalgia. Does that make sense?

 

For the short time I was pregnant last spring, my face was actually clearing up which I found very odd. But I think my hormones have finally calmed down the last few months and the BC is starting to clear up my acne. I won't hold my breath though.

 

your text is big!

 

Yeah, I just noticed that too. Actually I don't mind it because I'm blind as a bat. I enjoy large print books

 

Something really weird happened to my friend when she was preggo with her 1st kid. The baby was taking the pigment in her skin and her hairline was completely white. This girl is pretty tan so it was really noticeable.

Also while on pregnancy, my sister was really, really sick when she was only 5 weeks. It's what made her take the pregnancy test.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY TEXT. Is this post big, too?

 

My buddy asked if i could fill in for his volleyball league.

It's been a while since I've played an actual competitive game. Hope I'm not butt.

 

Nope!!

 

I despise St. Patrick's Day. More cops, more drunk, belligerent white dudes and it fucks up my commute. Blah.

 

I miss playing volleyball.

 

I miss being active.

 

Damn white people!

 

I never had morning sickness and I was about 7 weeks along. I had bouts of being nauseous and then 5 minutes later being hungry. and I craved Hummus. So fucking weird.
