What crap.

I hope your ride goes well.
Let me help with the thread drift:
Obviously Dr. Laura didn't go through the pain and 10 day flow when SHE was a teenager. She sounds like my mom did, even though I never got sick or complained otherwise, I was curled up with a heating pad for days. Those pills changed my life when I was old enough to get them myself!
