Alameda's Journalany advice regarding the best birth control methods?
Maybe this has been already discussed over and over, but a search didn't bring anything up.
I don't have to worry about this now, boy am I glad for that. I have a young friend who asked me for advice on birth control methods. I really should know the latest and best methods so I can offer information and advice to my younger friends.
In my time, I've gone through pills, IUD, diaphragm....all had problems and issues. The diaphragm didn't work. the IUD caused horrible problems, and the birth control pills had their own problems.
What do ladies do now? Are there any new wonderful methods?
interesting thread, filled with Islamaphobic content
I'd like to draw attention to this thread

I find it amazing to read some of the ignorant biased comments here. It actually is very disturbing.
You know,
you would be amazed at how identifiable people are even when wearing a burqa. When wearing one of these garments other aspects are seen. One sees posture, mode of movement. Put three people in the same burqa and you will see three distinct different personalities, personalities you did, would not have seen otherwise.

Here is a review of it:

My previous beloved camera was a Casio 10 megapixels XLM EX S10. I loved the simplicity of that camera, and it took really nice photos too.
This one will take some learning.
Hear about the "Exploding rhubarb chutney" ?
"A jar of exploding rhubarb chutney lifted the ceiling off of a retirement flat, causing a scene of destruction and shaking awake a 66-year-old pensioner.
The homemade preserve blew up in the fridge, ripping the door off of its hinges and rocking Margaret Goodwins flat as she lay asleep at 7am in the morning.
When she went to see what the "bomb" was she found that her family photographs has been smashed by the fridge door as it was flung across the kitchen, knocking a chunk from the wall.
The explosion had also temporarily lifted the ceiling, leaving cracks in the top of the wall, living room and porch, and blew the casing off an extractor fan.

cheap or inexpensive software for photographs
I've been using Thumbs Plus for years as my basic program. It allows me to easily catalogue things and do some basic processing. I've been using it for around 20 years, since version one..

and Focus Magic.
