I make it to the grand old age of thirty one without ever having had cystitis. I've sympathised when others around me have been struck down with this supposedly painful condition and made oohing and aaahing noises as appropriate.

Until today. I have been struck down, having assumed for years that I'm immune. Am I fuck. It's fricking agony. And to add insult to injury, I haven't been near a cock to have the fun before the burning begins.

I've been out to get some cranberry juice and drinking that. Any other suggestions as to how to stop this? How long does it go on for? Help, help, help!

After several glasses of Gewurtz

I should either try and work on my novel or post on WT - trying to do both is too confusing.

Soon I'll have my main character talking about Twilight otherwise (she does mention Vampires but not for ages and only in passing)

Trying not to get my hopes up

My boyfriend is a total animal lover, but he shies away from getting pets, knowing that we will probably sell the house in the next few years and we don't know where we will be after that.

That said, he has a soft heart. My current pet is a feral cat who he saw starving near our house. Took him more than 3 months to get her to eat while he was watching, even longer to get to touch her. She is currently sleeping in the living room next to the TV.

Now he has found a dog that he thinks needs a home- belongs to an acquaintance of his who doesn't seem to care for it much, just leaves it in a fenced run all the time. It bothers him to see that, so he's determined to at least try to bring it home. He knows it's my favorite breed, but we know nothing about the temperament or anything else. I still want it. I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

Anyway, it got me thinking. Do you ... more »

Bed wetting

My son wets his bed occasionally.

I wonder what I should do with the mattress. Is there a special solution other than water and windex to help clean it up?

Thanks.

Speaking of Twilight and dogs

As you know, my new four year old dog's name is Belle. She knows her name well.

I've been reminded over and over and over again that she shares her name with main character in Twilight- of which only the second movie has been released. This means there are another two which will come out.. so for at least the next 2 years, people are going to continue to ask me if I named her after this dumb series. (that I've read and will, of course, watch all of the movies)

Do I dare change her name? Maybe to something that's close? I call her Belly a lot so maybe I could get away with calling her Baby? Or BeeBee. Stella? (sorry Stella_F). Or should I just suck it up?

Sign Me Up!

I am looking at hotels in Ukraine for my trip next summer. I found one where the room rate includes- and I quote- "intracavitary mud tampons (vaginal, rectal)".

WTF? Has anyone actually tried this? Or do you have "a friend" who has? Explain please!

A different slant on regrets about having children....

An 11-year-old girl became one of the world's youngest mothers - after she went into labor at her wedding.

Kordeza Zhelyazkova, from Sliven, Bulgaria, was still wearing her wedding dress and tiara when she was rushed to the hospital, where she gave birth to a 5-pound, 8-ounce girl.

"I'm not going to play with toys anymore - I have a new toy now," Kordeza told reporters as she showed off little Violeta.

Kordeza - who got pregnant two weeks after her 11th birthday - told the News of the World: "It feels strange ... now I must grow up. I am not going back to school."

The baby's 19-year-old dad, Jeliazko, met Kordeza when he rescued her from bullies in the playground......
