...but when the hell did they start selling the Today Sponge again? At Target?! I know I could look it up, but I don't wanna, and I like sharing my ignorance with the rest of the world. They're making one of the best Seinfeld episodes less funny by selling it again, but at least the youngin's will know what they're talking about I guess.

The Today Sponge? Meaning birth control?
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

The irony of the sponge being sold at Target is not lost on me.
I would bet that the new stock-boy, Doug, probably found a ten year-old box in the back room and figured the best way to get rid of it was to put it on the floor. Either that or you've read things wrong and Sponge-Bob is going for the ride of his life.

Considering the mass of women around the country that scoured every store/pharmacy/medicine cabinet for each and every last one when they took them off the market before, I doubt that. That Seinfeld episode is funny cause it's true (haha, you love me!).

I think Elaine is hotter now than ever. What work do you think she's had done?
Well, since I have nothing better to do, I went ahead and found out just how out of the loop you are:
Yay for your divorce!

ALLENDALE, New Jersey (AP) -- The long wait is over for fans of the Today Sponge contraceptive: It's back on sale again, eight years after its sudden demise was immortalized in a hilarious "Seinfeld" episode that coined the term "spongeworthy."
Yay for your divorce!

God, I hated Seinfeld.
As for the sponge, no thank you. I'll stick to my trusty 'ol pill.

More interesting is that Nexa is contraceptive shopping 48hrs after her divorce

I took the pill for years. It makes me gain weight for one thing. I tried the shot too, and after that nightmare experience, I just won't ever do anything chemical/hormonal again. Diaphragm, maybe IUD at some point (though it freaks me out, I don't know why), I dunno, just no more drug stuffs. Not crazy about condoms, but those are always a good fall back!
The shot though, that was the worst. I gained 50ish pounds over the course of as many days, bled for four months, and ended up anemic. Nothing they could do about it either, not reversable. I never tried the things they stick in your arm or the new patch.

Edit: if you can't spell the name of the birth control, you shouldn't be allowed to have sex.

I never trusted IUDs. I've never seen anyone able to definitively say how they work, hence I view them about as favorably as I would voodoo or wearing a scary mask to frighten off the stork.

The "Today" sponge is a contraceptive device?
I've been using it to wash my face with Aveda soap in the shower, it is a wonderful exfoliant.
Who would of thought it had so many uses.

They sell condoms at the dollar stores around here.
There seems to be a lot of teen pregnancy around here too.
Connect the dots....

If Nexa is looking for a waterproof sponge, she's gonna have a long road to travel.

A sponge.
Great! Now I have to clean soda off my computer screen. Thanks Jo.
See, this is and always will be the kicker for me:

Contraceptive sponges do not protect against sexually transmitted diseases and do not prevent pregnancy as well as the pill, which is 99.1 percent to 99.5 percent effective if taken every day.
For women who use contraceptive sponges every time they have intercourse, 9 percent who have never had a child and 20 percent to have had a baby will become pregnant over a year, said James Trussell, director of Princeton University's Office of Population Research and author of the book "Contraceptive Technology."
"For people who are very concerned about getting pregnant, it's probably not a good option, because it has a high failure rate," Trussell said.

I was *not* contraceptive shopping, they were in the TAMPON aisle if you MUST know. It's not like I bought any!

I got pregnant my first cycle on the shot. How's that for a glowing recommendation? All those years I was incredibly bad at remembering to take my pill and no buns in no ovens. <sigh>
What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
I had Norplant, awful things, you don't want the details. But at one point I told the doctor after they refused to remove them that I owned a disection kit from my biology class and I was prepared to remove them myself.
Most of that pregnancy crap doesn't work for me, damn allergies. I am however very thankful I have only been pregnant twice and have two kids. Pretty damn good for a woman of my stamina

Meh, we are on round 6 (I think) of Clomid. If I'd known it was going to be this hard for me to get pregnant I would never have taken those stupid pills that made me sick!
