donations needed. please read [ March 20th, 2010 at 2pm ] toronto [tailchaser] my aunt is a nurse and spends a lot of her time helping out in various countries. some of these items are things we might throw out as trash or have a few of because they are cheap for us to buy. please consider donating stuff that you have lying around and don't really need/use. this is the letter and list of items that my mom typed up for me about it.... "URGENTLY WANTED for my sister's medical team going to El Salvador, Haiti, Peru, Africa, etc on medical trips - training and treating local people in remote unserved areas with no medical care. Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, opticians and translators make up the teams going to other countries. About twenty different small (20) medical teams who do this work share a donated warehouse, in the Stratford Ontario area, and they all do both the sorting and packing, as well as transporting the items when the medical teams travel to work in other countries. NONE of the members are paid. In fact, they pay for their trips themselves – several thousand dollars every year (some get a $500 tax receipt from one group only) Her group is not a registered charity – so NO tax receipts are available. EVERYTHING MUST BE IN REASONABLE CONDITION. (All stuff that goes in the trash here - but in poor countries is unobtainable and unaffordable for those who need it) ( click for list of needed items ) talk

timing [ March 20th, 2010 at 11am ] vaginapagina [meganmila] I'm a very worried person and this might be a stupid question. So, I got my period back in Febuary and I wasn't taking any BC at the time. After my period was finished I waited a couple of weeks to get back on BC. When I first started taking it I would sometimes take at 10:00 then 10:30 then one time I took it around noon and I know you're supposed to take at the same time but I have picked a time to take it which is at 10:00 recently. Today I was like fifteen minutes lates of taking it, would it still be effective? Like I said at the beginning of taking active pills I switched times alot but for maybe a couple of weeks now I take it at the same time. This is probably stupid question I know..but would it be less effective if I'm just a little bit late? 2 // talk

[ March 20th, 2010 at 4pm ] toronto [lokiswager] Hi Toronto, A friend of mine is somewhat new in town and in search of a great, inexpensive barber. Preferably near the U of T campus (St. George) or a TTC station. I think I've seen one over at Hart House actually, but I can't attest to its greatness or inexpensiveness. Your recommendations would be greatly appreciated! 3 // talk

First and last month rent! [ March 20th, 2010 at 10am ] toronto [theseekwill] I know this isn't totally TO specific, but everyone here is so helpful with apartment issues. I just signed the lease on an apartment for May 1st. The realtor sent me an e-mail this morning telling me that he needs the first and last rent on a check dated for today, which will be cashed in the next couple of days. I planned on having first and last months rent for May 1st, not a month and half before May 1st. I read the lease through, and I can't remember ANYTHING that said I had to pay the landlord this far in advance. It hasn't been the case with any landlord I've been with in Toronto. Is this standard procedure? Or is this shady business? Thanks in advance. 15 // talk

Bad Smell [ March 19th, 2010 at 11pm ] vaginapagina [caricaneba15] In the past 3 months, I've noticed a HORRIBLE smell after I pee. It's not an always thing, but its the same smell every once in a while. I've had a new sexual partner since Jan 1 this year. I had a normal pap smear a month ago, and I've had an IUD inserted January 28th. Before the IUD insertion, I got the STD tests. But I noticed the smell before the IUD insertion, so its not that for sure...What could it be? Oh and also when I run...the smell after my runs is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO terrible, but its a different kind of smell. ugh I feel so gross. But ive told my doctor about this smell before..and she just brushes it off. I don't smell like BO after my runs, the smell is specifically from down there... :( I should also add that I've never had an yeast infection, and that my partner is in the air force and gets checked ALL the time. 3 // talk

Olympic Gear Availability [ March 19th, 2010 at 11pm ] toronto [burnthewood] Hey all! I'm heading out on a shopping trip tomorrow with the boy, and was wondering if The Bay was still carrying official Vancouver 2010 merchandise, ESPECIALLY the 'Believe' hoodie. I'm not looking for the gloves, just the sweater. I'll be in the Brampton area, but we can go to Mississauga or Etobicoke. If you've seen any of the stuff in any of those areas, let me know! :) 5 // talk

where is my period? [ March 19th, 2010 at 10pm ] vaginapagina [firebaptism] I was on HBC for the past 1.5 years and i stopped taking early last month and have been using condoms since. My last period ended Feb 8, so i should have gotten it roughly two weeks ago, but I haven't. For the past 3 weeks i've been absolutely exhausted for no reason and i've been really bloated and queasy. Is it possible that i could be pregnant, or is it more likely that my body is screwing with me and giving me early PMS symptoms? I hear that coming off the pill can make your period schedule kindof wonky but at what point should I be more concerned? 10 // talk

Preventing HPV transmission between women [ March 19th, 2010 at 9pm ] vaginapagina [betterbebalboa] If two women both have high-risk HPV, and assuming for safety's sake that they have different strands of the virus and are thus still a danger to one another, what can they do to prevent transmitting HPV to one another? Obviously skin-to-skin contact like scissoring is out, but what about oral and manual contact, as long as it isn't a case of touching one vulva and then immediately touching the other? How can hands be sanitized in between to prevent transmission - is hand washing ok, or hand sanitizer, or would latex gloves (changing in between women) be necessary? Similarly, if a third person is performing oral on both women, what can this third do to prevent transmitting HPV back and forth - is a dental dam necessary, or can the third just wash their face in between? I'm considering a threesome situation where both I and the other woman have been diagnosed with high-risk HPV in the past, and we have not yet been proven to have cleared the virus from our bodies. It's something I really want to pursue, but obviously I'm also concerned about my health. If necessary, we can restrict the threesome to rolling around together/making out/playing with boobs, but I'm really not clear on exactly how HPV can be transmitted other than direct genital-to-genital contact, and it would be nice to incorporate oral and fingering if possible. (I am not going to have penetrative sex with the man involved, because I know HPV can be transferred that way even while using a condom.) Thanks for any info you can give, especially medical citations! 4 // talk

Spotting a LOT? [ March 19th, 2010 at 8pm ] vaginapagina [fathomss] I've been taking Yaz HBC for 12 days now. This is my first month to ever take HBC... ever. Well I'm the worrying type and even though I know that the first month of HBC can lead to spotting, I didn't think it would be this much! I know everyone's body is different but I have never heard of something like this. I have been "spotting" for approximately 5 days now. It was very light and more red at first, but for the past two days it has been a lot heavier (almost like a light period for me) and very thick and brown. I have also been cramping, feeling moody and experiencing more frequent bowel movements (just like I usually do before my usual period without HBC). Should I be worried about this? Is it normal? Thanks everyone. 1 // talk

Finally having my periods, maybe UTI? [ March 19th, 2010 at 8pm ] vaginapagina [mikomb] I'm 24 & have PCOS. I have had periods maybe once a year or so since I was 18 but for the past few months I have started to get them regularly after starting metformin last summer. It feels so odd to be standing in front of the tampons and pads for the first time really reading boxes and trying to sort out what I should get. I know I'll get sick of it soon enough, but for now I'm sort of enjoying experiencing stuff I never thought I would. I even had a little secret glee when I got cramps for the first time. :D Anyhow, a couple weeks ago I was feeling some pressure on my bladder/perhaps in my urethra. It didn't burn while urinating nor did I feel like going frequently. Just odd pressure that lasted about a day. I'm feeling the same thing today. My husband and I had sex yesterday and I'm on my period, so I was wondering if the blood/etc. can cause UTIs or UTI-like symptoms? 3 // talk

House of Lords [ March 19th, 2010 at 8pm ] toronto [poor_to_girl] I've looked back at older entries and seen nothing. So, the hairdresser I've been going to for four years no longer works at the salon I usually go to. In addition, the salon itself is booked early in the morning tomorrow. I am wondering how is House of Lords. I want a simple, layered hair haircut but I get this impression that they do crazy hairstyles, loud music, and rock style hair. I've been looking at reviews, and people are recommending Vanessa, Pamela, Melanie and April a lot. In general though, how is it? I'm okay with spending between $30-45. I just need a wash, cut and blowdry. 10 // talk

Is Yaz really dangerous? [ March 19th, 2010 at 6pm ] vaginapagina [xx_socold_xx] So, I'm sure everyone has seen or heard about those commercials and whatnot, advertising attorneys if you've had problems due to Yaz. Problems including heart arrhythmia, gallbladder issues, blood clots, etc. Well, I'm really wondering if Yaz is problematic enough that this a serious thing?  I've been on Yaz for about 4 years now and haven't had really any problems, but lately, I've been getting rapid heartbeats suddenly and at random. It could be something else, but the fact that heart arrhythmia is a problem with Yaz makes me a little nervous. Has anyone had problems on Yaz/Yasmin/Ocella? Care to share any info?  8 // talk

Dressmakers [ March 19th, 2010 at 2pm ] toronto [finefinemusic] I'm thinking of having a rockabilly/swing style dress made for myself.. but I'd prefer to do it with someone local rather than online. Any suggestions, awesome community members? Approximate pricing and comment on fit/quality for anything you've had made would be very appreciated as well. I googled old entries but there don't seem to have been a similar question in a couple of years.. I will keep this Pearl Seto lady in mind! 14 // talk

Nuvaring and acne [ March 19th, 2010 at 11am ] vaginapagina [heatherette2] [ mood | crappy ] I've been on the ring for just over a year now and love it, for the most part. But since being on it I've gone through cyclic breakouts that take a looong time to heal. Before the ring I never really had any skin issues so I'm attributing it to the Nuvaring. Right now I'm experiencing a particularly bad episode and it just makes me feel like crap! I've made an appt. with the doctor to discuss acne medications, etc. today so I'm hoping they'll be able to suggest something other than to stop using the ring (I've tried many pills and all make me nauseated, I love the ring...). I'm wondering if anyone out there has had a similar experience while using the ring and how you dealt with it or what medications/remedies/treatments worked for you. Thank you! talk

Tuesday: Coffeehouse Cabaret [ March 19th, 2010 at 1pm ] toronto [duhbigman] Coffeehouse Cabaret features an open stage of music, poetry, spoken word, and comedy, with featured performers: singer-songwriter Karyn Ellis performance poet Yaseemi Come early-ish to sign up if you want to perform on the open stage. Karyn Ellis recently released a new CD, Even Though the Sky Was Falling. About her previous CD, Hearts Fall, CBC's Amanda Putz wrote: "Her voice is lovely, the arrangements are simple and clever, and there's an almost rustic quality to the record -- likely from being recorded live off the floor -- that makes it extra sweet." Yaseemi describes herself as a "card-carrying member of the human race, looking to connect and communicate through art: spoken word poetry, dance, music and visual art. Yaseemi, your poetic matchmaker, linking you with the sounds that your ears need today. Looking to fulfill my life's purpose: fearless self-expression." Tuesday, March 23, 2010, 8:30 p.m. TKO's Sports Pub (second-floor lounge), 1600 Danforth Avenue (at Coxwell) No cover (the features will pass a hat) talk
