Dyspareunia is one of the common symptoms of fibromyalgia, or as a co-existing problem. I don’t usually look at Wired for this kind of thing, but the article When Sex Is a Pain has some good ideas for dealing with dyspareunia.

Small Joy
Recently, a request for shorts in size 4/5 for the poster’s 13-year-old daughter came to me through a local Freecycle list. Minor request, but I don’t think many people respond to requests. I read them, but am not usually able to help. This time we could. shadowkatt had, in fact, just recently packed a big box […]
FAQ: Why Are We Homeschooling Katie?
Actually, I think Sam should give his own answer, and Katie should answer as well since she’s been given a choice as to whether or not to go to school or be homeschooled.

Good Homeschooling Day
Katarina went out with me and we drove around, taking pictures of things. OK, that sounds vague, but really, Katarina enjoys taking pictures of things, and these things are highly random yet they all have certain qualities: They’re frequently old, cracked, rusted, or broken/trashed They can be cast in some sort of juxtapositional light They are […]
