The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Then go with Vicks-VapoRub. Where you apply it is up to you.

Oh that reminds me of a story.
I dated this total idiot guy, once.
He thought it would be a good experiment to rub Vicks Vaporub on his balls.
(he was like 24 at the time)
His brother came home and found him puking and shitting at the same time, begging for help.
Like I said.....idiot.
Anyway....back to the thread. Thanks for listening.

Back in my teens, trying to make it through a night with even a super-absorbency tampon would be a bit like trying to stand under Niagara Falls with an umbrella.
And that little cartoon is still FAR too kind, compared to reality.
This is closer to the mark:

the Precious Moment item I posted sparks a thought;
frequently, wedding dates are set months and months in the future. So . . .
I'd assume avoiding 'certain' dates would be a given, but that far in the future I'm thinking stress, vagaries in diet, maybe a venue availability causes a lack of an adequate safety margin and then
well
the big day rolls around, and Aunt Flo is in town at the same time. How's that gonna work ?

Oh, are you talking about the sex? Does anyone have sex on their wedding night anymore?

This is closer to the mark:
I use ultra absorbency, which is the thickest available now. But yeah, I gotta wake up once in the middle of the night to change it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
