Ah, yes, I wasn't making it up from a dream! I'm not completely crazy.
Well, Christians don't follow those practices anymore, but do the Jewish people still?

LOL, no.
My boyfriend is Jewish. He grew up Jewish anyway. Most of his family is.

Now not a diss on in my view to the coolest race of people around (when God picked his chosen people, he chose well)
But you know, it sort of baffles me how Orthodox Jews can get away without following all the Old Testament laws. Well considering these laws include all this crazy ass shit about periods, not touching dead pigs, constant complicated animal sacrifices, working on the sabbath being a capital offense and the order to stone disobedient kids to death its hardly surprising no one follows these laws anymore. But still the Bible is very very clear that these laws must be kept by the Jewish people FOREVER. Now I know Christians can get away with all this stuff with all that "new covenant" this stuff was only valid until Jesus stuff. But I'd be interested to know what Jewish peoples excuse is...
Another thing I've always wondered about Jews is; Do they still believe the Messiah is forthcoming? A major theme of the Old Testament (especially the Prophetic books, but stretching right back to the start of Genesis) is this Messiah who's going to come and save the Jews and restablish a Jewish nation in the promised land. Now Christians obviously see this as Jesus. But do Jews still believe a Messiah is coming, or because theres already a nation of Israel and has been for 60 years, has the Messiah already been and gone? Was it Leonard Cohen?

That last question, Josh, is invaluable to my mental health.

I'm sort of too drunk to think about religion (those "toucheths and sitteths made me lol) but I can answer the cavewomen question, or at least how women in biblical times dealt with their "unclean": They were sent to the "Red Tent" where they lounged around on straw for seven days or whatever. And all the women went to the red tent at the same time, cause estrogen is contagious or their sissycouses were aligned or something.

Right. I guess I'm the only one who has pain-free periods. P.S. At first, I thought this thing was supposed to be much bigger than 2 inches. I should pay more attention.... Me too. Let's dance. ps. it's kind of rubbish, because you kind of don't know it's happening until it's too late...

For some reason, I always catch it on time. I'm magical.

Carrie's mother says your period comes as punishment from the Lord for thinking evil, lustfull thoughts. And she will throw you all in her torture room with a crucifix hanging above your head for six hours untill you repent for yo' SINS. SINNNSSS.
Anyways, on the subject of period cramps, sometimes I get them and sometimes I just don't. Weird. Oh well.

It sounds like a magical contraption.

It's fairly easy not to touch dead pigs really. Dead pig! On ground! Don't touch it. If God thinks not touching dead pigs is a good thing to do, I should be IN there. Dead pigs made into sausages though, not so hot. My friend sold pork to a Muslim, true story. Jx

I knew a girl who started her period when she was 8.
I also know a girl who is nearly 18 and hasn't had her period yet.
I know ALL the freaks.

You know, i had my first period when i was eleven - safely before i started to have lustful thoughts.... good guilt-inducing theory though, je pense! Likewise. Scared the hell out of me too.

aye me as well but she's a triplet and has a rather boyish figure so she's just hoping she's a late developer... her sisters got theirs at like 13/14 ish Ouch I can imagine that being awkward - never thought there'd be a situation where you would want your period. And am I the only one who doesn't find the idea of sanitary pads gross? It's just like wearing an extra layer of material on your pants. Maybe I'm lucky because I don't have to buy the mahoosive ones but I don't find them a big deal. One annoying thing though is the noise they make upon opening in places like school - one huge "RIIIIIIIIIIPPPPSSSSSHHHH" and everyone in the toilet knows when you're on - the noise is pretty unique.

Yeah, TSS freaks me out pretty good. But I'm super forgetful and sometimes I forget that I have something there. It's becoming a bit of a problem.

Ha, the 'RIIIIIIIIIIPPPPSSSSSHHHH' noise made me laugh ;D. In your post, not in real life... in real life it made me switch to tampons, lol. But that is certainly the best way I have ever heard a sound being described. Congratulations! *exalts*.

Yeah! God, there is so much embarassment in the ripping noise. Everyone in that toilet (presumably) gets them and whatever, but still Tampon applicators confuse me like nothing else. I always forget how to use them.

Ahaha. Yes, the ripping noise.
And then you try to lessen the noise by ripping very slowly... but that only causes a hugely enlongated RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSsssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........
Oh womanly life, you are so hilarious.
