Buy a new shirt
Buy a new book
Buy a new book
Buy a new dvd
Or, buy a morning-after-pill.
Guess which one it was?
Guess who found herself looking extremely sheepish in the chemist shop this morning?
Guess who still hasn't organised his vasectomy?
Go on, guess.
If this makes me throw up I may do the fixing on Mister Fixit myself.
I'm just going to take a little feminist moment here to praise the fact that you CAN buy the morning after pill.
ReplyDeletephew, that step off the pro choice soapbox is getting harder on the knees as I age
oooooops!
ReplyDeleteI have a little pair of golden scissors. Very sharp. you could DIY.
You just need some frozen peas for swelling control afterwards.
Yeah, I'm with Sussanah on this one.
ReplyDeleteI do dig that Animal t-shirt though - where did you find that?
Good point. I'm right there on the soapbox with you at heart and I most certainly am grateful to have that option, and the knowledge of that option. But it's still a pain in the arse to have to exercise the option. Stupid rubber goods.
ReplyDeleteThe shirt is available through Amazon.com, and may yet make it's way to my house because I have already told Fixit he owes me $28.
Having found myself in the same predicament TWICE, all I can say is (Nelson-style) Ha hah!
ReplyDeleteyes yes, i agree with the soap box theory- we have come along way. but mutual responsibility eh? we seem to spend so much time popping pills ... a little snips not too bad?
ReplyDeleteredslippers
Since I'm still in my Queen Victoria style mourning and will never have sex again, I already bought the book - so you can read mine when I'm finished...
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I definitely would have gone for the Shaun the Sheep DVD!
ReplyDeleteEeek!
ReplyDeleteYes, Susannah has a valid point. But $28?? I had no idea.
I'm sure it wasn't that much 10 years ago.
I think two bricks work just as well!!! I mean on Fixit!! I too am the one who needs to book hubbys vasectomy - actually another friend and I thoght we would book our husbands in and try to get a cheap deal - spend the rest on some movie tickets for her and I. We don't know if we could stand the complaining!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are not too sick!
Um, did you know that the MAP is only about 66% effective. Someone I know very well took it, felt quite ill, and nine months later had a baby boy, who was totally unplanned but very welcome. Just so you know...
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'd have gone the t-shirt. Don't spend $28 on a book, woman! I'm sure you can get it cheaper elswhere.
Bloody hell. If they can put a man on the moon (why can't they put them all there?) Hang on, that wasn't what I was going to say. If they can put a man on the moon, why can't they make reliable contraception that MEN have to manage, eh? Fair dinkum, if it was my hubby, I'd be threatening with the pinking shears.
ReplyDeleteAhem.
Maybe a cure for PMS would be good, too, I mean, surely that would be more help than a mission to Mars?
You have a perfectly wonderful way of putting things! :-)
ReplyDeleteGet the t-shirt next week I reckon
Damn, my money was on Shaun the Sheep.
ReplyDeleteI was going with Animal until I got to the bottom. Make Mr. Fixit pay you interest on your $28 until he gets the snip-snip done.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yeah, what Caitlin said.
ReplyDeleteuh oh...
ReplyDelete[steps up on sussanah's soapbox too]
GOM was a hero! He just decided to go & get it done- way back when!
ReplyDeleteI'm going against the tide to say 'how WONDERFUL' it is to be able to be Fertile at Forty.
ReplyDeleteso there :p
I don't even know if I AM fertile at 40. I had to do this Just In Case.
ReplyDeleteHmm ... a little pair of golden scissors? I think I'd go at him with the whipper snipper!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I als agree with Sussanah - it's good you can take matters into your own hands.
Now I need that Shaun the Sheep video!!! Shape up with Shaun - brilliant!
Speaking of Shaun the Sheep -perhaps a local sheep shearer could help you out with Mr Fixit?
ReplyDelete$28 would definitely buy you a nice, sharp pair of scissors. It may not stretch to any local anaesthetic though.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one in the world who has their fingers in their ears singing "LA LA LA LA" at the top of my voice?
ReplyDeleteI want a picture in said animal shirt posted ASAP!
ReplyDeleteGo the shirt. It's very cute.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could tap dance on "it". (Not the t-shirt - Mr Fixit!)
A few bars of The Entertainer should do it.
Hahahaha...I just got the "Shaun the sheepish" quip.
ReplyDeleteWait, it WAS a quip, wasn't it??
Ermm, it is now! (My Float, Queen of the pun.)
ReplyDeleteBeen there, done that, HAVE the Tshirt too.
ReplyDeleteAnd there I was, already getting ready to vote for Shaun the Sheep...
ReplyDeleteI suggest you tell him you'll be cutting him off until he gets it cut off.
heh heh
Yes - that $28 bucks is a bit steep (have had a run in with it myself!) I am loving the look of the Fforde and the dvd - damn men. I would definitely ask for a reimbursement!
ReplyDeleteAnd like what LC said - they are not 100% effective (hey, but what is?) but the earlier you take it the better. Best keep an eye on things just in case.
Just read the whipper snipper comment and nearly wet my pants.
ReplyDelete(Tell Fixit to fix it. Hahahaha).
OH DUDE, I didn't see that coming at all.
ReplyDeleteYou realise Felix is a morning after pill baby.
I'm just saying.
I'd have gone for the Sean the Sheep DVD, personally.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the misspelling: Shaun.
ReplyDeleteDear sixteen year old stomper - I thought I told you not to indulge in heavy petting with Mr fixit. Shaun the sheep much better option!
ReplyDeleteStomper,
ReplyDeleteI have loved reading everyone elses responses. I am not sure how I would feel about that. Knowing me, i wouldn't have worried about it and having to endure 5 years of fertility treatment to actually have my now 2 yo, I would feel quite embarrassed and would probably have to buy pill in another suburb.
In saying that, you certainly know when your child bearing has finished and i am with you. My darling boy has officially declucked me!
I love your blog!
