Lily Valley Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I am here to discuss female complaints, ball problems and all other non-boring topics. I would like to include the Oxford comma in this discussion as I hate it. Based on reading my own writing, this is probably my fault. I am 42 years old and I STILL screw up after periods of abstinence by forgetting to pee twice. The resulting horror show is awful. Doin' it now. I honestly can't say I missed this. In the book of my life when they weigh the UTI's against the scale of the sex I had, right now I would say "Tell peen to go eff itself". ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMe90 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I never liked oxford commas... until they became a requirement of my writing (theyr'e expected in legal writing.. despite the fact that every lawyer I've dealt with (under)utilizes commas terribly... lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigima Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Why do you hate the Oxford comma? It is necessary for clarity in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexal Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 My fiancé had her first UTI a few months ago. I've never seen someone in so much pain. It was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog-days Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 You never see the female love interest running off to piss immediately after sex in Hollywood films. UTIs are An Abomination unto Nuggan. My first boyfriend was quite well-endowed, which may have made things worse; I spent every day after sex with him drinking mug after mug of fruit tea in the hope it would flush any lingering germs out. I once ended up needing antibiotics after one UTI turned really nasty. After a few months, joining a nunnery and leading a celibate life began to sound really appealing. When I was at infant school, I remember being told that you put commas wherever you'd normally pause when reading a sentence. In addition, we were told that we should never put a comma after "and". The moral? Never pay attention to what they teach you in school, and choose lovers with small penises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli Fury Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 For UTIs cystex I think makes this bottle of concentrated cranberry something that works wonders. It's at Walgreens by all the other lady problem stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I used to get them, Bactrim was the antibiotic of choice. They should have handed you a tube of Monistat to go with it. It turned out that mine were caused by bubble bath of all things. Haven't had a bubble bath or a UTI in 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brook Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 The only thing I've found worse than a UTI is when the super antibiotics they finally give you to wipe out the mostly drug resistant strain you've been battling for six months immediately gives you thrush.

Elder Sister Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I don't understand the hate for the oxford comma. I kind of love it. I have tried to leave it off, but I was taught that's what you do when you make a list, and dammit, I'm doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunderMifflin Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Commas are worth it just to put them in different places to change the phrase. Like..... There are too many people here. There are too, many people here. Or I do love a pussy cat. I do love a pussy, cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, the UTI is the real modern reason for "NO SEX UNTIL MARRIAGE!" That health insurance makes getting antibiotics a hell of a lot cheaper.

Mlle. Zabzie Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 UTIs ARE the worst. Most of mine have been in connection with pregnancies. Thrush on the other hand....apparently I'm just susceptible, so I wear lots of really unsexy granny cotton or face the consequences. Sometimes, I definitely face the consequences. Also, the Oxford comma? I can take it or leave it. This may make me a minority of one. Also, I think lawyers horrifically OVER utilize the comma. And the word "such," but, contrary to stereotype, not so much "said." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry of the Lawn Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 The Oxford comma is like clothing, it's always optional, sometimes appropriate, but other times completely uncalled for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theda Baratheon Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I like commas, they soothe me and UTIs can Go To Hell. .. I knew there was a reason I don't have sex...

Xray the Enforcer Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Those who deny the righteousness of Oxford commas are those who probably put sugar on their Fruity Pebbles. People who put sugar on their Fruity Pebbles deserve to be shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course nothing beats "Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury" but that one was before the show started so technically doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
