Say Anything.

I don't think they will perform one unless it's medically necessary. My best friend growing up had terrible cramps and begged her doctor to just rip all her girly stuff out.

I've been considering asking about a hysterectomy for the same reason; for 1-2 days each month I spend the whole time in the fetal position in tears. I'm 37 now, my tubes are tied, so maybe I'm old enough to be okayed...

:cheer CeCe got straight A's. I'm happy. Her teacher told her that she's not allowed to tell her classmates she got straight A's so no ones feelings get hurt lol.

Gee...I'm not sure I'd like that if it were my daughter...seems like it says something negative about a very positive accomplishment.

I think kids need to know not to become arrogant or overbearing about such things, but she should be entitled to be proud of what she did. I doubt her intent was to get great grades so everyone else would feel bad. If the other kids are envious, they can always apply themselves and do the same.

Yea I told her she should be proud of herself because she did her very best. She's not the kind of kid that would use this as a way to make some one else feel bad. We decided to reward her and all she wants is a new stuffed animal. Gotta teach her when asked what she wants to go big!

it should be up to her whether or not to share that info. i can understand not gloating about it - that wuold be mean spirited. but to treat it like this is to make it look like she should be ashamed of succeding. granted, I don't share my grades with my classmates - it's private and that's my choice. But I would be more than a bit put-out to be told that crap.

Well they have to know she's smart she goes to special "enrichment" classes a few days a week. So I'm sure they notice she's pulled out of class. Or at least I would think so....

I am beginning to think sensitivity training has gone too far. Grats to your daughter for her good grades though that is a major accomplishment :)

yeah she'll learn when it comes time to ask for her first car. and you'll regret teaching her that !

She got a new bratz doll as soon as she turned away it was in the dogs mouth. I hope she hid the damn thing. The last one became tug of war fodder for the dogs.

The other kids might not see it as "helping her get ahead" but possibly "helping her come up from behind."

When I was taken out of my 4th grade class regularly for the gifted program, I had some kids asking me if I was okay or if I had problems.

Fuck those other kids and fuck that teacher. Nothing wrong with rewarding or praising an exceptional child.

Honestly, after the period I just suffered through I am starting to feel it is medically necessary. I mean, how anemic do I have to be? How much blood loss is considered hemorrhaging? (Its about to get graphic guys, skip ahead to the next post now!)

This last one was bad in pain terms but light on bleeding. For me. I woke up on day 2, after a light 1/2 oz bleed day 1, with pain from my rib cage to my hip bones all the way around. My back was agony all day and on top of all that? I still bled 1 oz every 2 hours. So in the first two days of my period I bled probably 12 oz. The next day it was 1 oz per 3 hours with the same pain, bringing it up to 16oz lost. On Friday, day 4, I was dizzy, nauseated and sluggish. That horrible recovering from the flu feeling really. And this was a light bleeding week.

Typically I bleed 1oz per hour for 24 hours then 1oz per 2 hours for 48. Its fun. Really. I would rather do without though. And all this iron I am taking fucks up my already sensitive intestines. Joy.

Fucking useless uterus crap. Don't need it, don't want it.

Sorry to sound angry but trust me, its all directed internally, and a bit below my waist.

I wonder if they'd suggestion doing the depo shot or that birth control pill that only lets you have a period like 3 times a year?

I am afraid adding hormones either via shot or pills would just make it worse. I would rather just lose the uterus and keep the ovaries than anything else.

People said I could never get my tubes tied but I did at 25. I think a partial hysterectomy should be on my list of goals for 35.

I dunno what your doctor would think but I've read alot of articles about continuous birth control. All that means is that you take the pill the entire month and have no periods. Since you are not going to have children you might ask your doctor if they have a low dose birth control pill that would put an end to your periods.

I was originally placed on birth control to regulate my periods and the cramps I was having when I had them. Not sure if they do that anymore any though.

Yes, they still give bc to regulate periods, and help diminish cramps. My daughter went on the pill earlier this year for that very reason.

:hooray I got quiznos twice this weekend! It was like my birthday but better!

LOL - I used to love Quiznos, until our office moved to a spot with one located adjacent to our parking lot...now I could go a good several months without eating there, and be fine :S
