things i can/not live without

On my most recent trip to the loo, I thought about something I could not live with out: tampons. I also thought of something I could live with out: visits from Aunt Flo. I know my scheduled monthly visit from her es muy importante from a gynecological/circle-of-life/need-it-for-child-bearing POV, but I would not object to giving up my visitation rights for the following reasons:

1. I only know the approximate time she shows up when my face breaks out a week before. (and she has been showing up at wicked inconvenient times lately)
2. She makes me cranky, emotional, and miserable, thus affecting the well being of those around me.
3. I drink a lot of water and she insists I retain it in my bloated body.
4. She isn't exactly cheap and will only use name-brand good shit.
5. She requires constant attention and needs to be tended to frequently. If she isn't, the whole world will know about it in the most embarrassing way possible.

Aunt Flo is here to stay, I know that. Thus, tampons are one of my favorite things. And they are also the word my family used to use to get me to leave the room when I was little because it freaked me out and made me feel uncomfortable. If I was spying on my sister and her boyfriend all she had to yell was "PAD" or "TAMPON" and I was outta there.

So this got me thinking about things I cannot live without and things I can live with out. (besides the obvious happiness, love, family, friends, air, food, water. those are boring to think about... unless specific foods are brought up)
