If it weren't a 10 hr flight away from my family, I'd love Hawaii. I just don't know how I feel about being so isolated from everything. That and $8 gallons of milk would get annoying (among other high priced shiit there).

Yes. I have a fb friend who has 3 kids by 2 fathers. She lost custody of the first 2 kids because she was unfit. So she went out and had another kid with another loser. Now all her fb posts are about this "deadbeat dad".

Well, here is a thought. STOP HAVING KIDS WITH LOSERS.

Posted by pirategal03[/QUOTE]

H and I have been entertaining thoughts of one day moving to Hawaii or the west coast, CA likely. Of course, this is like 10 or more years in the future unless something major happens, but still. I could see it happening. Neither one of us are happy here in Jax.

I told H I'll move with him wherever he wants, so long as it doesn't snow in the winter.

Nebb & Numbers - so there you go. The fresh AND frozen ones have been out. I usually get frozen, but was looking for fresh since there were no frozen ones that time. There were none of those either. Bastards.

I personally don't get ones without applicators, seems like way too much fuss to me. I do prefer playtex over tampax applicators though.

Yeah and the little plastic part on some is so thin I find it hard to push it in to the tampon part (unless i am doing it wrong LOL). And the placement never feels right with me. I dunno, ive been an OB girl since day one and I hate having to borrow tampons cause everyone else seems to use applicators.

musicalsunlight · January 2012

I'm all about tampons with applicators.

number55 · January 2012

I don't get why OB tampons expand outwards for me and all the rest expand lengthwise. Hence why I only use OB. I got over the 'no applicator' issue a long time ago.

Also, a friend of DHs said that she didn't start using tampons til university. OMG. I started the second month I had it. I mean, I get it, clearly pads didn't bother her. But I couldn't stand them.

I remember all my girlfriends in university being like 'ew...you don't use an applicator'. I remember thinking that I hope they don't have natural births, because if they can't handle pushing a piece of cotton up there I don't think they can handle what might one day come out.

Well her mother was a single teen mom and had 3 kids with 3 different fathers, she grew up on welfare and in public housing. She got pregnant when we were in 11th grade with the first one. She lives in public housing now and is on welfare. Her sister has 2 kids with 2 different father and lives in the same housing project as she does (so does mom).

Vicious cycle and all that.

I just can't make the non-applicator tampons work properly. I feel like the positioning is always wrong or something, and can always feel them. I think it's just user error...lol.

I don't think there is anything wrong about a non-applicator tampon, I just like having them there. I don't see whats so "omg gross" about it, I mean, either way I'd hope you'd wash your hands after dealing with your ladyshow.

I don't think the issue is pushing a piece of cotton up there. I am totally fine with that. I like the applicator because of the fact that I don't have to put my hands down there during that. I'll take my plastic Playtex teeth please.
