a mixed bag of links

emergency contraceptive otc. now, i'm a stickler, but this is the plan b pill. unfortunately, the name "morning after pill" was associated with ru-486 or whatever that french pill was, and so it shouldn't be used in conjunction with the plan b, emergency contraceptive. totally different pills and effects, and i think when people say "morning after pill" it brings up the wrong picture for people. if you don't have a problem with birth control, specifically the oral contraceptives taken by women, you shouldn't have a problem with this pill which is only a double dose of "the pill". and why would people oppose allowing women over 18 to get contraceptives over the counter? (that's a rhetorical question)

too many religious nonprofits

i would ask myself this, "this surgery is legal, so why am i getting it done in a basement?"

want to read about misquoted movie reviews?

do you want to hear an interview between kevin smith, some morning show radio show guys, and joel seigel, who apparently yelled obsenities and stormed out of a clerks 2 screening (not gene shallot as i thought earlier)? it's a pretty good interview, and i think k.smith rightly takes him to task on professionalism.

an activity i may start doing, and i think adam should (he's a little more passionate about this)

still waiting to know about landis...

and justin gatlin


and finally, a program we probably all should enroll in

I like the Hummer site, that's humorous. I prefer the magnetic bumper stickers and such but I haven't gotten into that.

As far as the basement lipo, maybe she couldn't afford the legal kind?

haven't seen the magnetic bumper stickers. what do they say?

Adam said...

Usually people just print them out and they say things like, "I'm doing my part to change the environment" and they put some magnets on the back and stick 'em on Hummers and SUVs and whatnot hoping the owner won't notice for a while. But they do no damage, that's the good part.

ah, nice.

I love that it took like 20 minutes for Siegal to realize he was talking to Kevin Smith

edluv said...

yeah. and they keep telling him. or that he maintains until the end that he didn't say those puns on his website.

You might not get this message since it's an older posting but I was inspired by Elizabeth Hasselback's recent tyrate on The View to research this pill.
Plan B® works like a regular birth control pill. It prevents pregnancy mainly by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary, and may also prevent the fertilization of an egg (the uniting of sperm with the egg). Plan B® may also work by preventing it from attaching to the uterus (womb). It is important to know that Plan B® will not affect a fertilized egg already attached to the uterus; it will not affect an existing pregnancy.

Elizabeth was in tears saying that taking this pill is "like abandoning you baby on the street corner" I think she is under the assumption as are many people that this pill will prevent implantation. It however works primarilly by preventing ovulation and there is only a slight risk of interfering with implantation
