Where Do You Stand? Taking Hormonal Birth Control
Many women use hormonal birth control such as the pill, the NuvaRing, or the patch because it's effective, it's easy, it can control or eliminate your period, and it allows you to be more spontaneous when having sex. I know some women, though, who refuse to use it because they don't like how it decreases their sex drive, makes them moody, or makes their breasts grow. Still others just don't like the idea of putting chemicals into their bodies.

Dear Poll: Have You Ever Had an Unexpected Pregnancy?
When we become sexually active, we do everything we can to prevent ourselves from becoming pregnant. We pop pills, get shots, implants, and IUDs, wear condoms, patches, and diaphragms, all for the one, huge purpose of not getting pregnant.
I'm sure all of you have had scares before, where the condom broke, you missed a pill, or your period was late, but what I want to know is, have you ever experienced an unplanned pregnancy?
What's the Deal With the Patch?
All the women I know who don't want to get pregnant are on some type of hormonal birth control, because it's an easy, reliable and an extremely effective form of birth control (besides abstaining from sex altogether of course).
The Pill is great and all, but you have to remember to take it every day. The NuvaRing is also a hormonal birth control, but I've heard a few women complain about it falling out, or that their partner could feel it which leaves us with Ortho-Evra (more commonly known as the Patch).

Sour Patch Candy: Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid.
This commercial featuring an animated, bi-polar Sour Patch candy acting out isn't exactly making me rush to 7-11. Is there a slasher film on the way?A Horse Is A Horse, Of Course, Of Course...
Unless that horse is Patches, a horse that has mistaken himself for a human. From cruising in the car to passing 'round the beer during a night on the couch, Patches is way above mere horseplay. He says neigh to hay, cuz the drive-thru is more his style.
