everythingtold goes out for a meal at a restaurant. As soon as the waitress appears, she gives the waitress her demands -- bring the drink, meal, to-go boxes, and check at the same time and don't come back until then -- because "I really go out of my way to make life as easy as possible for people in customer service".

When the waitress gets annoyed with her, she points out that she's not being annoying. "I turned to the couple at the table next to me and asked if I was bothering them. They shook their heads 'no'. I asked the family at the table on the other side and asked the same thing."

Then, there's a lengthy diatribe about her theory on tipping: "servers get $3-something an hour and minimum wage is $7:30 [sic] per hour. Generally speaking, if I am going to spend an hour in a restaurant, I will be tipping $4."

Finally, after paying her check, the OP gets up for a cigarette break, leaving her music player & book behind. After her cigarette break, she's SHOCKED to discover her table has been bused!

Commentors repeatedly point out that requesting the waitress only visit your table twice -- once to take your order and once to drop everything from drink to bill off -- is very inconvenient for waitstaff, but OP doesn't care. "I guess a lot of people in here hate me for trying to make life easy, lol."

"I actually wasn't trying to come off as SpecialSnowflake/EntitlementBitch at all - just the opposite."

"I cn't [SIC] believe that many people think it's annoying to make sure server doesn't have to worry about me very much."

First, some context: Last Sunday I noticed my labia felt kind of sore and a little swollen. I figured I had just inadvertently irritated myself somehow and thought nothing of it. But then on Monday, the discomfort turned into burning and itching and after some googling, I feared I had my very first yeast infection. I called my doc and made an appointment for Wednesday. I suffered through more itching and burning on Tuesday along with an odorless white discharge...it was uncomfortable, yes, but not totally unbearable, so I held off on buying any creams or over the counter yeast infection treatments. My reasoning was that since this was my first ever yeast infection & the symptoms cropped up completely out of the blue, I wanted to get a confirmed diagnosis from a doctor before doing anything. I didn't want to unknowingly exacerbate the situation.

So, Wednesday comes along and my doctor does a urine test. He said that there were red blood cells (because I was due to get my period in a few days), white blood cells, and some bacteria in my urine. He said he wasn't sure if I also had a urinary tract infection, so he prescribed an antibiotic called Levaquin, 500mg, for a 3 day course and generic Fluconazole, 150mg, for my yeast infection. He didn't even mention the possible drug interactions, but luckily, I had done my own research beforehand. I had read that antibiotics can cause and/or prolong yeast infections, so I asked him about my concern. He replied that I should do the 3 day course of the Levaquin first and then afterwards, take the fluconazole pill. He said he prescribed one refill of the fluconazole just in case I still needed it.

So, I left my appointment, filled the prescription, and bought some Vagisil anti-itch wipes & cream. I took the first Levaquin pill on Wednesday & found that the wipes were all the relief I needed, so I haven't even opened the cream yet. The next day, however, I got my period. I had also read that periods can 'self-cure' yeast infections so I was actually a little excited, haha. So, I continued with the daily Levaquin dose, but didn't continue to use the wipes since the itching/burning was pretty much alleviated by my period.

That brings me up to date...I finished my Levaquin 3 day course yesterday and I'm assuming that today is the day for me to go ahead and take the fluconazole. My question is this...if I took my last dose of the antibiotic Levaquin yesterday around 7:30pm, how long should I wait today before I take the fluconazole? I just want to aviod any interactions that might counter the effect of the fluconazole. Oh, and thanks in advance! (Also, if this entry needs a cut due to length, just let me know & I'll do it!)

this season I am thankful for my own unspeakable self-absorption and vanity. let us review:

today I dyed my hair a ridiculous copper red color! I look like a sexpot, if sexpots were fat and had bad skin! it's fantastic!

also, I ordered new glasses! I almost paid $500 for them, but because my boyfriend is an honorary jew, he went online and found some shady internet site which had the frames I wanted for like $300 cheaper. so now I have 300 more dollars to spend (on myself)! they're just plain black glasses which is boring but they looked so cute that I could not resist. plus they are ~GUCCI~ which means I am all haute couture now!!!

ummm I dunno here's a picture of my hair except you cannot see the red color at all so basically this is just a picture of me looking exactly how I always look while sitting on my dad's couch.



BYE INTERNET!!!!!!+

PS: oh my god turkey + mashed potato + stuffing + gravy sandwiches.
PPS: oh my god new moon was seriously so insufferably bad I can't even convey it on the internet, I need hand gestures and facial expressions to fully communicate my fear and distress
PPPS: the new sims 3 game is TOTALLY FUKKEN SWEET!!!!!!! also, has anyone played borderlands? is it worth the money? it looks real neat and I would like to buy it, pls advise.

I've been thinking lately about going to Planned Parenthood to see if I could get free birth control pills. Last time I went they said that was the only option they gave out for free and considering I haven't had a job since January I was hoping it was still true. Anyways my main reason for this is more about fighting the acne I have since nothing else has worked.

I just wanted to know one thing. Now in the past I've never had a very good record of remembering pills. My boyfriend is behind me all the way on this and he's promising that he'll help me actually remember to take them everyday and at the same time. I just want to know one thing. If I do happen to forget a pill one day would that end up messing up the acne fighting help? For a few months we'll still be using condoms so I won't have to worry about being pregnant. I just want to know the acne fighting pluses and pit falls about the pill.

I haven't posted an outfit in two weeks! Totally shameful.

I got this shirt not too long ago from the Righteous Babe Store. I never got around do doing a review of my purchases with them, but I'll say that after 2 months I got the three shirts I ordered, as well as three free items. All in all it wasn't a terrible purchase but I likely won't be buying from the site again. This Ani Difranco tour tee is so cute! But because crew necks make me feel like I'm choking, I took a pair of scissors to the collar. I was very careful that the neck was even and had no unsightly tags of fabric, and I'm happy with the result.

I've built a contraption (camera, wooden bangle, tissue paper) that allows me to get the right angle and thus include my head and feet in photos. Awesome, huh?

i am working at a library today, and a mom is here with her three kids. the mom has been gossiping on a cell phone for the last ten minutes, so i'm listening to the kids bicker.

the youngest, named mary, is trying to play with her older brother and sister. the brother got mad at her and said, "you know what, mary? you look fat."

mary started crying and tried to tell her mom, who was still on the phone, that they called her a name. but her mom was busy, so when she went back, her sister said, "we didn't call you a name, we said you looked like something." the brother said, "yeah, you look fat." mary is crying really hard now and the mom isn't stepping in..

they kept calling her fat and i could tell it was really traumatizing.

i felt helpless! what would you have done? interrupt the mom and tell her a storm is brewing? interrupt the kids? or something completely different?

I've noticed that a lot of you also have problems finding coats that fit. My warm winter coat died a horrible death at the end of the season last year, so I've been making do with thin jackets until now.

But that wasn't going to cut the mustard for shoveling snow, so I decided to give a men's coat from Burlington Coat Factory a shot - it was on sale for only $29.99 (from $100), anyway. I'm now extremely happy that with that choice!

This is the coat (except that I got it in black).

- I normally wear a 26/28, and the 3x is comfortably roomy for sweaters, but close fitting enough that the wind doesn't blow up into it. The wrists are half elastic, so they stay put. The hood lies nice and flat when it's down, even in last night's heavy wind.
- The styling is basic enough that it doesn't scream "men's clothing".
- It's warm enough that when I walked the dogs last night in windy and 30s weather, I felt like I had a heater in the sleeves. It was a touch too warm in this afternoon's mid-40s, even unzipped.

My only (minor) complaints: the material feels like the polyester it is, and I'm a little worried that people will assume that I'm actually an equestrian and think me a poser when I admit that I'm not.

Hey Fats,
I've posted asking for hair advice before using this same picture, but that was a month or so ago when I was asking about tying it back, this time I'm thinking of having it cut? Possibly..
How would you think? It's dyed a tinted purple (naturally it's dark brown) and I intend on keeping the colour because I think it suits me, (see user pic,) but I'm possibly thinking of getting it cut?

Pic and more info behind the cut.

Beloved dewdrop
Universal pantechnicon
Of energy and substance
Wets my one fingertip

Beloved zephyr
Intermittently rustling
The rooted and the tossed
Tickles my forelock

Beloved terrain
Conjugal propagator
Of gain and decomposure
Inveigles my gaze

Beloved sunshine
Penetrative effulgence
Mainspring to the ecosystems
Warms each of my toes

Beloved extent
Circumstantial sentinel
Home to all we ever know
Perfumes my regard
 

I went and saw a new midwife last week for an annual exam and while I was there asked her to fit me for a diaphragm. I was rather surprised when she told me diaphragms are no longer available in the US and the only barrier option available along those lines is the Femcap. I've been googling and I can't find anything to support what she told me. Has anyone else heard or read anything about this?

My vagina and labia feel raw and sore and very uncomfortable. I would say this started about a week or 2 ago and has gotten progressively worse. I was feeling a little better yesterday and (stupidly) decided it would be okay to have sex, since I hadn't done so since all of this started. Well, needless to say, it's so much worse today. Do you think this is a yeast infection? I don't really have any discharge, in fact it feels kind of dryer than normal. But, I've had a YI before and my vagina gets raw feeling and like wrinkly-looking (for lack of better description) which is how it feels/looks now. I also think it is swollen. I started taking some probiotic pills that I had laying around the house, but I've tried several treatment methods in the past and the only thing that seems to help me is prescription Diflucan. Should I go ahead and ask my doctor to phone in a prescription for me? Do you think this is something that should be seen by a doctor?

Also, I've had about 4-5 yeast infections in the year and 1/2 I've been with my current boyfriend. He's uncircumsized, but says that he makes sure to keep everything clean. Prior to being with him, my ex-boyfriend was circumsized, and I never had a single YI in the 4 years we were having sex. Do you think my b/f being uncircumsized puts me at a greater risk of getting YIs? Is it possible that he has 1 too and we're transferring it back and forth? I don't know if that's the case because I only get them every 3-4 months, but it might be a possibility... Should I have him try treating himself? How do you go about treating a YI on a male?

Sorry I have SO many questions.

Thanks so much!

So, I just recently broke up with my boyfriend. Not that I know if it'll be permanent or anything, we might get back together someday in the future, I don't know. All I know is I needed sometime away from him, and frankly cannot pinpoint a date where we might get back together, if it ever even happens. Anyway, I've been on the pill for about 1 year. Is it a problem if I keep on taking my pills? I mean, healthwise, is there anything to be concerned with if I keep on taking my pills for, like, forever? I definitely will not be sleeping with anybody within the next 2 months at least (I have never even slept with my ex, the pills were just for my piece of mind...)

I don't want to put my body through any kind of stress, like going on the pill, off the pill, on the pill, off the pill... It just seems to me that it would probably be much more stable for my body if I just keep on going with the pills until I decide to conceive. So, in a nutshell... Basically, it there a time limit for taking pills? I take one called Adoless (I'm from Brazil, I don't think this one is available in the US), and has 60 mcg gestodeno and 15mcg of etinilestradiol (if that is of any importance).

Thanks in advance!
