    You’re not my mom, you can’t tell me what to do.

      Well I am a mom, so I’ve learned it’s a lot less disgusting if you do it every month, but you don’t have to listen to me.

      Editing to add: if any of the rest of you are also women, it’s a good idea to pick a day for the recurring calendar reminder that doesn’t align with the part of your monthly cycle when you’re already miserable and grossed out by the whole world, you’ll be crying into the kitchen sink. If it happens, because cycles are irregular, reschedule for one week ahead, when it won’t bother you at all. I guess the same goes for guys except the wild swings of your emotional cycles are less predictable.

        Holy shit, if anyone ever does figure out how to predict my emotional cycles I want to hear about it.

          I am not a woman, but my girlfriend is and she is tracking her cycle with an app, and it’s pretty accurate. We can see the mood changes that fits with her cycle.

          It works for her because she is pretty regular, so I don’t for people with irregular cycle.

        I know it’s gross, I do it often because I can see the difference in the cleanliness of the dishes.

        I was just jesting.
