Reducing costs with birth control per Nancy



I bring this up because I think that all people who think they are protected from STD's or unwanted births simply because they take birth control or use condoms should know!

Everything has a failure rate. You are not protected.
The odds of conception were stacked against Andy and I. At the time Graham was conceived I had two non working ovaries. Also Andy was traveling alot and we did not see each other much.
Plus other measures were in place to avoid conception. We just were not ready (in case the doctors were wrong). I was so amazed to find the pregnancy test reveal a +. Shocked, happy, scared and just plain freaked!
So you can imagine my shock yesterday when I went to the doctor yesterday and found something I was not expecting! No I am not pregnant. Very close but no cigar! I have been on birth control pills since 6 weeks after his birth. (please don't bash me I am not here to discuss the morals of taking them vs not). I took them the same time every day faithfully. We did an ultrasound and of course one ovary is shut down, not working, needs to be removed, well per me not the doctor. The other, Lefty, (fitting name) boasted a nice fat follicle ready to release a nice fat egg! How is it possible that some one with my condition could conceive 2 children, one of which we were not "trying" for and actually preventing, and now I have one healthy ovary who is ready to spring forth a third child? I blame it on Bush. He made a baby machine to collapse the economy.
I thank God for the gifts he has given me and do not regret either one of my children. However I am 31, in a committed relationship (per the state of Texas and a couple of expensive rings), I can go after Andy for child support if he ever devises a plan to escape.
The second part is Andy is a man! He loves his children and would do anything for me or them.
I chose some what wisely. Quickly but wisely. I will explain that at a later time.
So if you are under the age of 18 (not that that is a magical age but you are held legally accountable for your actions) having random sex or even what you would call "committed sex", know you are not protected. The odds are stacked against you. Pills don't work, condoms break, crabs migrate, and warts spread, HIV leads to untimely deaths, and health care costs. (come on the costs alone should scare you more than death). Nancy is not going to save you by spending all my hard earned money! So Boys get a Mag and Girls, invest in something that requires batteries to get you through those tough times. The only way you are going to protect yourself against the unwanted STD's and babies (however if you do get knocked up bring them to me, I will take them off your hands) is to just say no to a human. Remember it is still illegal to tag a barn yard animal is most states.
Flame at will.

You know... according to COSMO... Sex was number 8 on a survey of the top 10 things women want from a man. So apparently... Seven things and some batteries and you don't even need us anymore! :))

Seriously though.... I couldn't agree more! If you want to stop the spread of std's... Stop having sex with strangers!!!
