ok this is a bit tmi so skip ahead
was about 19 or 20 and had got back to a girl's place and i told her "i don't have a condom" she said "oh that's fine i have an implant" - this is how i found out what an iud was.
thanks catholic school

there are also contraceptive implants -- norplant i think it was called?
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Thursday, 23 February 2017 21:46 (seven years ago) link
they are not the same as IUDs
yeah, never heard of an IUD referred to as an "implant" but that could be a by-country thing
― mh 😏, Thursday, 23 February 2017 21:55 (seven years ago) link
Yeah Norplant, Depo-Provera, and IUDs are all totally different things. (And condoms are still useful even when one of them is present, unless the only thing you are interested in is pregnancy. FWIW I still used them even after having a vasectomy.)

ha ok: things you were shockingly old when you learned - you can't generically add implants into the same category as IUDs because of what the IU in IUD stands for.
― Islamic State of Mind (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 23 February 2017 22:51 (seven years ago) link
i was basically unaware that there was any device that could be implanted in any part of a woman that could be used as a contraceptive
― Islamic State of Mind (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 23 February 2017 22:52 (seven years ago) link
what did you think the IU stood for? or alternatively, that's not where you put contraceptive implants!

they charge for obituaries and it is a lot more than you'd think
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 24 February 2017 00:26 (seven years ago) link
i knew they charged - some are much longer and more detailed than others, have pictures, etc. this always struck me as being connected to how much they cost - have no idea how much.

Man there i was with a Cindy Crawford GIF and quivering nether regions, freaked the fuck out that my dick was trying to make a cocoon, and a week later in health class they were describing the ole "Shebop" and that it was normal and meant we were ready to father a child. And i turned to my friends (both of em) and said OH SHIT I JUST DID THAT LAST WEEK! I'M READY TO FATHER A CHILD! I'M READY TO FATHER A-
and the tubby one punched me in the stomach and i fell to my knees

when they said "B.G." on Snoop and Dre albums for years I thought they meant "Bee Gee", ie, someone out of the 70s, out of touch. realized years later it meant "baby gangsta".

That a hymen isn't like a thin bit of plastic kitchen wrap skin that goes over the vagina and gets punctured after sex.
If I had given this more than a second thought this would have clearly made no sense.

Ross - well, corny romantic stuff
The phrasing and composition makes it all a bit unclear (the wiki quotes disagreement between Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman as to whether the lyrics were ambiguous) but when you read it it's p clear:
And I would do anything for loveI'd run right into hell and backI would do anything for loveI'd never lie to you and that's a factBut I'll never forget the way you feel right now,Oh no, no wayAnd I would do anything for love, but I won't do thatNo, I won't do that
^^in this verse he'd run right into hell + back but he won't lie to you and that's a fact

Just learnt that I can convert MKV files into something hopefully readable on my TV through a memory stick. VLC player can convert and save files. Haven't successfully done it yet but got one underway.Been frustrating with tv not reading a load of stuff I've downloaded.
Now would really like to find out if i have any way of saving recordings made by Horizon box to something I could store on hard drive.

it's a subject complement rather than a direct object if you can't convert the sentence to passive voice

yeah, those are alright, and wet Swiffers are at least barely functional, though a simple sponge mop does a better job and doesn't need a head change after every use. but a dry Swiffer mop is about as useful as rubbing the floor with a sheet of copier paper -- it traps a few odd specks of debris but 90% of it ends up getting pushed to the edge of the floor in ropey clumps that you end up having to vacuum or pick up with your fingers. my grandparents insisted that I use nothing but a Swiffer to clean their new kitchen floor (I think the contractor recommended it) but I rebelled and pulled out the vacuum while they were downstairs loudly watching Family Feud.

Did I misspeak badly? I'm saying its perfectly reasonable to still not know MKV can convert to something else, heck I barely even know what that means, assume its some kind of video file conversion.

Just now realized that Sheena Easton is Scottish. Always assumed she was American.
― “Yeah. Huh, thanks.” (los blue jeans), Tuesday, 28 February 2017 07:09 (seven years ago) link
She came to fame through a fly on the wall documentary before having her first major hit in like '79/'80. Modern girl. I think at the time she had a pretty broad accent.Prince reinvented her several years later. Not sure if she was heard of much between times. So could see why the confusion. Presumably she's U.S. based since then though.
