Okay, that takes care of the lingering resentment over the Always commercial I saw the other day. It had an Always pad as the saddle on a mechanical bull, which I didn't figure out till the 'have a happy period' bit at the end. Hi, on period, cramping, painkillers not working, do not make me slaughter you.

(Bad bit is thankfully over now. I hear hormonal contraception makes the bad bits less bad. I wonder if I could convince my doctor to prescribe it. I wonder if I could convince Mom that whether I'm on birth control is orthogonal to whether I'm having sex.)
