It wasn't that I couldn't find it, I seriously thought that with all that suction, my insides would come out! haha But you just have to give it a second and it comes out fine 
Did you cut off the stalk KK?

Ok, so I started using my mooncup today and was looking for some friendly advice and came across this womans review, it's pretty good if you have any problems using it or like me, feel you are going to seriously pull out your inards with the amount of suction involved! hehe You don't so this just put me at ease

I am definitely going to be trimming that darn stalk, I cannot sit comfortably at all! Other than that, I took it out once after two hours just for practice, which this person reccommended and it feels fine!
I think it depends what I am doing that day and what season it is.
If I am in work, then I prefer the evening.
If I'm not in work then I like the mornings, I get to wake up when I want, eat my breakfast and have coffee relaxed.
I love the winter mornings, as they are dark until about 12.
I love the summer nights as they are completely bright at some point.
OH Queeny I hope you enjoy the books! Are you reading all 3 or just the first one?
I have read all my comics I got for xmas which was the complete Fray series. 2 Spike After the Fall, 6 Angel after the Fall and 3 Buffy season 8 It was fun oh and the new issue of the 2nd book of The Umbrella Academy.
Now I am reading the Star of the Sea by Joseph O'Connor, a book following a famine ship leaving Ireland for the New World.
the royale family xmas special, it was shit
Man on Wire, it was amazing. A documentary about a french guy who wanted to walk a wire between the twin towers, in the 70's I think it was. Pretty cool.
personally i believe the pressure point thing to be BS. a heat pad of some kind or a hot water bottle takes away all cramps, if you can't lie in bed, then stick a heat pad(i use the heat pads for cold weather) down your trs and stick it to them so it aids your back/stomach ache.
there are a couple of how-to's in projects for covers for laptops, some are knit, some are felt Good luck
I think by sensitive areas Roma is talking about your privates I could be wrong ;D
I have used the bath bombs lots of times and never suffered down there.. But then again, I'm not washing myself with the soap, learned that lesson when I was a kid! hehe
Yes I usually get a real bad headache and spot blood a couple days before, then from day2 I get really bad cramps and back ache sometimes I feel vomity too It's not good. The headaches haven't been so bad since I started a different brand though.
My boyfriend went splits on my mosaic course, bought me snow boots, a foot massage bath, lots of fimo, Fray graphic novel, first issue of the new series of Umbrella Academy, voucher for 5000kr for craft store and then over the last 13 days(from the christmas lads) I got loads of chocolate, silicone chocolate moulds, a cool baking tray with a lid to keep cookies and stuff fresh oh and a new subscription to flickr
Money from family members
My friend made me this beautiful landscape picture from different fabrics
I was a very lucky lady this year
I'd always know of her, but fell in love with her in Fight Club!! Me and my friend wanted so badly to be her then!
I mean irl she seems cool too and I love her style and of course she is married to an amazing person and got to kiss Johnny Depp! *swoon*
Long Weekend, an Australian film from the 70's kinda of a horror flick. It was pretty good in a cheesy way.
