“slut ovaries?” “Dildocam?” “Wings of bacon and cheese?”

You are truly a gift to the Internets, Alexa.

Here’s to getting closer to buying “Baby’s First Spjorklatt” at IKEA. (Sorry to hear about the negative side effects, however!)

Aw, dang… I’m sorry you have to go through this. And – even more disturbingly – sans the comfort of greasy animal products..

Re: your previous met post. See, one of the ways in which kids are useful (as opposed to “economically”, or “in the sense that they DON’T grind Cheerios into the floor while cackling maniacally”) is that they’re a constant distraction from life’s woes. So that’s a reason. I’ve got a cat litter-obsessed eleven month-old you can borrow if you wish to test the validity of this.

Wings of bacon and cheese… Just beautiful. The Nearly’s wit seems to be of a similar caliber to yours, my dear, and that is saying a lot.

Good luck with the Metformin. You deserve a break!

I really hope this the beginning of a big upswing for you. Will you be trying on your own during the months leading up to the IUI?

Best of luck on the Metformin! You are a brave and wonderful soul, and I have complete faith in your intestinal fortitude!

Alexa, if for some reason you find you just cannot continue with the Metformin, consider taking a tablespoon or two of apple cidar vinegar (diluted in water) before each meal. A study done recently by a nutritionist at Arizona State University found that apple cidar vinegar came very near to accomplishing what metformin does, with regard to controlling blood sugar levels, and obviously, there are no side effects or dangers. I do it now and it’s no big deal. Dilute with water and chug.

‘T would be nice. Here’s hoping. Yes, and anyone who says “on the wings of bacon and cheese” wins my heart too!

“You flew too close to the sun on wings of bacon and cheese.” That seals it. Can I start calling him my “Almost Nearly In My Dreams Fiance”? Please?

Oh, and last night I bought an entire bedroom set, complete with a mattress that has “Sultan” in the title, for just $900. I hope my little sultan appreciates it enough to move out of that crib sometime soon.
