Here's hoping my refurb is in the mix. Hope they don't mind that I've cracked it open at least 5 times for various fixes, including re-flowing the solder on the GPU when it stopped working. I mean, really, they shouldn't, since it was their decision to skimp on the quality materials that made me go to such an extreme in the first place.

My significant other works at a Wegmans and I both love and hate him for it. That place is like a drug.

Story time.

On my way to grad school interviews a few years ago I had a flight from Washington DC (Reagan Int'l, ugh) that had a layover in Philly. Since it was such a short flight, we were in a small commuter jet which hadn't had the lavatory dumped. Well...this was in the spring and there just happened to be an ice storm. We went through not one, not two, not three, but FOUR cycles of getting in the queue for de-icing, getting de-iced, waiting in the takeoff queue, being held there for too long, and then having to taxi back to the de-icing queue. All in all, this took a little over four hours....in a small plane, with a lavatory the crew wouldn't let us use, no food or drinks, and no cell phone usage allowed. Oh yeah, and there were two kids on board who were cranky and BADLY needed their diapers changed.

It was only after a bunch of us decided to threaten to piss all over the seats that they FINALLY went back to the gate and allowed us to get off so they could empty the lav. It was another two hours before we took off, but at least we had the small creature comforts of, you know, being able to pee in the privacy of a bathroom and getting a drink of water.

THIS, my friends, is why these guidelines were created. I wouldn't wish what happened to me on my worst enemy/

O.B. Tampons Are Back

I dunno... if you're going to go out of you way to get an applicator-free tampon, seems to me that you should just switch to a menstrual cup and be done with it. They're more convenient, generate less waste, don't carry the TSS risk, hold more menses, and have the same "ick" factor that applicator-free tampons have. They're all-around a better product.

So...you're paying $120 year for service that you will probably never use and only keep around because of an irrational fear?
