Actually it's quite easy and there is no threat of toxic shock so you can leave it in all day and then empty/clean it when you get home. I have never once had it leak, so to me it has a better track record in one year than a decade of tampons. Just get the trick of getting it in and out and you're ready to go.

It seems like there are two types of parents now. The ones that care and do their best to parent and the ones that allow others to parent because they believe their children are innocent angels who do no wrong. The ones who don't parent are the problem, that's all. We spent too many years protecting them, not allowing men near them (doesn't matter if they are the fathers or uncles) and telling them that everyone is a winner. Too many people going crazy because disciplining their kids might be seen as abuse. This is just the backlash to that mentality.

This explains a lot of why the U.S. got a bunch of leeway during the crash of 08 but Greece is basically being thrown to the wolves.

I hope we will be protesting the corporate control over government, but I doubt it.

Really we will be protesting something small like genetically modified bees and if they are ok to release into the wild as a way of helping the bee population that Monsanto killed with round up.

Anonymity may not be of great import but I believe one day people will realize just how much tracking comes with credit cards and the like. I can't even buy a birthday gift without it being available to my SO in our account details. How is that a surprise? Sometimes giving my nephew a bit of cash is cheaper than a gift card that might require an activation fee. Sure what's two dollars but still. There are plenty of reasons to use cash without need for anonymity, so I don't think it's going anywhere.
