Em, I'm taking generic ibuprofen, because it's all we had. Unfortunately, they set in right as I got to school, so there was nothing I could do. Bleh! My friends kept asking me why I looked so funny.
Yes, it's the alliterative one. ::takes on Dr. Ruth accent:: "Sex is *good* for you!" Okay, I'm starting to creep myself out here, so I'm stopping.
Heh, I think I know what line Chloe is talking about, and there is actually some scientific justification for that.
I was going to say, on a similar strain, I heard sex can help.
But I don't really have anywhere to get that.
I'm just curling up in the fetal position.
OH MY!!!

I just take generic ibuprofen, and it works great, as long as I take it the MOMENT I start to feel bad, or even before I start cramping. Then, a hot water bottle and a nap, and all is well again!
I think we ALL know which line Chloe is talking about!
Is Dr. Ruth the creepy old woman who talks about sex?
And Em, fetal position is bad! Curling up makes them worse. Go for a walk!
I just went for a walk!
Now it's time to curl up.
Chloe, I'm not doing that. :-P
I only take ibuprofen when I'm really in agony, because painkillers tend to make me tired/woozy. I'm sure on a scientific level chocolate is actually bad for cramps because of the caffeine and all, but eating chocolate makes *me* feel better, so that's how I usually cope.
Really? what gave you that idea Allie??

Billboard Girl, I like the way you think! Mmm, chocolate!
Walking is good. Anything that gets you active and moving is good.
Dr. Ruth is about four feet tall and 80 years old now. You don't see her around very much, but she was a big deal at one time. She was a sex therapist who became very popular on talk shows and such. Somebody said recently that she's best known for being the first person to say "penis" on TV. She has a strong accent too.

Pills and sleep...that's what I do, but unfortunately I have to leave now and practice for my show (dancing for 5 hours). It's going to be a long night
*edit*
Thanks for that Chole I was getting her and Sue mixed up

In Angels in America, didn't Harper learn how to give a blowjob from listening to Dr. Ruth on the radio?
Sue Johansen is Canadian! She does college tours in the fall (she's never come here, though). I remember when she was on Degrassi in the 80's for an episode. Fun stuff.
5 hours? Yikes. That's rough, but I'm sure it'll be fun, at least.
I've definitely seen re-runs of her on TV in the middle of the night. She's so scary!
Hee, Degrassi. *pretends not to be obsessed* That doctor sounds very familiar. She's probably something of a national hero around here.
So this thread has migrated into the official love for sex thread?
I wouldn't know, alas.

Alas, as well.
Atrias, they have Degrassi Jr. High out on DVD now, you know!
*giggle* I know! They're also showing it on tv here now. The hair...my god.
Since Dr. Ruth was brought up, I heard she's going to be speaking on my campus soon.
