still considering the options of getting the “beer” or not…leaning towards not!!!! I hate the whole “please warm the utensils” request…if that’s not obscene, I don’t know what is!
True story: when my niece was a baby my sister-in-law sent my brother to the store for a blueberry braided pastry from the bakery, desitin for diaper rash and cranberry juice that she liked to drink over crushed ice. He came back with blueberry poptarts, vagisil cream for yeast infections and baby rice (at least it rhymed with crushed ice).
ok first, i had to read this five times to finally get it!!! I am very slow!
second Alece i agree, never go to the gyne in africa!! been there done that, not fun!! thanks for the laugh!
Ok, you guys are making my imagination work overtime about what happens at the gyny in Africa… Alece, make an appointment while you’re in the States NOW.
why do i feel i am going to get my tire changed when i go to the college of Gyna? i always ask her to use the small jack possible. She puts it in and cranks’er up.
All the while i am like, “i wish we’d known each other better, this is a little awkward.”
I think my Gyna professor is the only person on earth who has never known me with clothes on. well….not true! oh the comforts of the sand paper robes…hmm…
well, trace, at least you’re comfortable with the buttnaked part of the whole thing.
and seriously, i’m thinking “i’m glad we don’t know each other better”. i do NOT want to be seeing her in the grocery store or running into her while perusing movies at blockbuster. THAT, my friend, is awkward. i’d know.
one of the two gynas i’ve seen in south africa lives in our small town. i see her places. and then i think: “she’s seen MY places.”
while you’re thinking about your places… i am thinking if i see my gyna prof in the grocery store she doesn’t know what i look like, but if i were walking around naked, she would be like, “tracee! hi…” haha
Oh my cow wow. I came back after a long day at work and just re read all these comments. I haven’t laughed or cried so hard than tonight. The jack Tracee just TOTALLY had me rolling on the floor. I just sent that to all my mechanic friends with a picture of a Jack….
Your famous in San Diego Tracee….
I degress, I see my gyna college when I am at ST Arbucks, I also wonder what he’s looking at on his macbook!!! Ha!
you girls crack me up! glad I came back to see what was happening this evening.
TRUES story: ya wanta know how warped God’s since of humor is? He took us to a LARGE church in our community, we were hooked on the church’s mission, we joined. (about 8K a week there!) I started volunteering in the children’s ministry. Guess who I see EVERY Sunday volunteering there too: my female professor! yep! every week I get to see my professor.
after 25 years, it really does not bother me anymore. it is what it is….and since i’m almost 40 and not skinny, it isn’t purdy! I pitty my professor more than me. lol!
Can you hear the laughing from North Dakota? Can you?????
HAHAHAHA!!!
I have to say, I MISS my Gyna. She was awesome. We’d sit and chat awhile after my *ahem* appointments and such. I don’t think she was even ten years older than me. Yeah, loved her. Plus she was my OB for the last two boys.
If someone is goin to be messin around in THAT area, we need to have a repore. (sp?!) AND they need to be FEMALE. *shock*
trust me…you could. i’m not changing churches (a church that GOD took us to) because of a my professor. I actually LOVE the fact that she is under the same preaching that I am. She has been there since is started 10 years ago and is committed to God and our community.
many of us say we could never live outside of the comforts of the states. look at you. you do it cause you have been called to live there. I’ve been called to serve in the children’s ministry, where my professor (a person too) happens to be ever Sunday.
i think i had waaaaaay to many partners before marriage and then salvation…this topic really does not freak me out. not even a male professor is an issue. and my professor is younger than my oldest sister! you should hear her get on me when I skip a mamo…she is a survivor and gets really ticked off if you neglect your girls.
ok so i have the africa story to top ALL of these! Alece feel free to remove this if its too much info.
So in africa i went to a very good looking single dr and as if that was not awkward enough (very good looking man messing with your stuff) he went to our very small church and the week after i saw him he asked me (at church none the less) how everything was doing (like how my stuff was doing!) it was so awkward and funny. I had a little crush on him!
then one week he was out of town when i needed an “emergency pap” and some creepy guy was like checking me out and said “well i can do it for you” i was like no thanks i will wait! haha
good times!
like i went to this one place and i saw a creepy old guy and i thought “if thats the guy im out of here” and sure enought it was the guy and i stayed and after i felt so violated and creeped out, i cried in my car! he didnt do or say anything it was just such a strong creepy vibe. i called and complained about him and my brother did to!!
my first gyne appointment ever was in SA just before i got married. i drove 3 hours away to a city, trying to find the best possible scenario. it was an old mean woman. she made me lay down on a fully flat bad pushed up against the wall. perfect for clear visibility and easy access, ya know? in went the jack, i squealed in pain – and asked her to stop. her answer? “if you think this is bad, just wait for sex, sweetie.”
i lay there crying in excruciating pain for the rest of the appointment. seriously – WAY more pain than is normal (i did some research here) so i don’t know if it was her huge dilapidated outdated instruments or the flat bed or what. but that was one memorably rough experience.
OMG!! that is so bad!! i had a similar thing with the other guy in Maun. i was crying because i had an infection that made me really sore anf he was not gentile at all. ya as if a penis feels anything like sharp cold metal!!?? haha
dang…your first professor was not.good.at.all! that is just WRONG on so many levels. I guess I have been blessed with only good professors. and living in 4 states, I remember 7 different professors in the 4 states.
my professor in AL was a fellow motorcycle rider, so we always talked about road trips we had been on.
okay…enough of memory lane and laughter for me. I’m exhausted and need sleep. now.
jane — i cannot imagine chatting it up about my travels.
although the first time i saw a gyne in america—because of ovarian cysts bursting (talk about PAINFUL!!!!)—i told her all about my african experience. she was shocked. SHOCKED. when she told me to put my feet up in the stirrups, i had to be honest, “i’ve never used these before.” she was pretty incredulous.
OH MY GOSH! My jaw dropped at your first time experience! AWFUL! My thighs instantly went into the jaws of life clamp when I read that.
(I love you too!)
My first time having the “speculum” (such a GROSS name for it) was NOT for an OB appt, and the dr said “this is the one size we use for little girls who need a rape kit done so it shouldn’t hurt you.” Yeah, that was creepy. The thoughts in my head about those girls….so sad.
Al, one place I went had a poster on the ceiling. hahaha!!! Yeah, because it’s not uncomfortable enough I want you to give me something to look at to get me in the mood to relax.
Oh my, there some serious “grit” on the grit! Too funny!!!
Okay, here’s mine….I think I can top Faith’s “Botswana OB” experience. **There is no OB in Maun anymore (i never remember a cute guy Faith, he must have been before my time, darn it!)
When I got pregnant with Andrew I had to chose a doc that would do my prenatal care in Maun and then I went to an actual OB in Gaborone, the capital city. I had to go to Dr. Carey (AKA Dr. Scary) who is at least in his late 50′s and in a wheel chair, and not attractive…..unless you like half unbuttoned shirts with chest hair. Thankfully Dr. Scary didn’t ever have to check for dilation and my appointments were pretty strait forward.
After I had Andrew I had to go in for my check up appointment at 6 weeks to make sure my insides were healing okay. After having a baby I figured it couldn’t get much worse and after all, how bad could it be right?
Well Dr. Scary hands me a “robe” that looks like it hasn’t been washed in years and tells me to undress in the bathroom. I gave myself a “pep talk” in the bathroom and prayed against any nasty germs that were hanging around his dirty office. He asked me to lay on his table which also had a sheet that looked like it hadn’t been washed and I had to adjust it so it was actually covering the table. (I could write a whole nother comment on the “sheets” in his office….I’ll refrain!) I climbed up, closed my eyes thinking, “It will be quick…..it always is.”
Well since he’s in a wheel chair it’s not very easy for him to see down there so I had to contort my bottom all types of ways so he could get a good view. Then came the “cranker” which I thought was going to scrape my insides as he slid it in. He must have saw me grab the table because he was like, “sorry…..hard to get the right angle.” He then proceeded to take a flash light to look in. I swear that was the longest pap smear of my life and was def worse than having a baby!! Once it was over I dressed quickly and was outta there. I had the heebeejeebee’s the whole day and told Kev my experience. He was like, “You’ll never do that again! Next time we’ll fly you to Gabs!”
Honestly, Dr. Scary was as professional as he could be in that situation, but I guess most of all it was just uncomfortable. Afterall, it’s not all the time that someone takes a flashlight to look at your girls! :) ha!
Oh lord…..the price we pay for being missionaries in third world countries. I either go to Gabs now or wait and go in the US!
Oh and i forgot to add the whole time I am on the table all I can think about is “How many other butts have been on this sheet?” Ick!!!!!
Maybe I should post about the sheet…….it’s quite comical.
My friend and fellow missionary, Patricia and I were both expecting at the same time and she was also seeing Dr. Scary. Between the two of us we came to the conclusion that Dr. Scary had 3 sheets for his examination table……all on about a 4-6 month rotation. Meaning that you didn’t ever see a new sheet on that table till about 4-6 months away.
One time her little girl got sick after getting a shot and vomited on the table/sheet. Dr. Scary without skipping a beat took some paper towels and wiped it off! Patricia was apologizing about getting the sheet dirty, he said, “Oh it’s okay”……..he never changed the sheet, just adjusted it and the next time she went back for her appointment it was the same sheet!!!
So yeah…..we joked each time about which sheet was on the table and laughed about the conversation in the office….. “Hey it’s been 6 months Precious…..can you make sure you change the sheet to the blue one with the teddy bear on it? Nope, don’t wash the other one right away….you’ve got at least 6 months before it needs to be ready.”
Now……you know why I wondered how many other dirty butts had been on that sheet! :)
this is crazy!!! ok so if a brazillian leaves a strip then whats it called with no hair?? I have been shaving it ALL off but sometime i would like to get a good wax, so what do i ask for… also any good tips for not getting razor burn?ok and i am so slow lately that i didnt catch a lot of what you were talking about so i will just be blunt and ask if it was what i thought it was, here goes…
were you talking about men shaving their package??? that is so weird, my brother does this (along with the rest of his body, dont worry i have not seen this first hand!) i like hair on a man! oh crap it’s 9am and i am talking about PUBES!!! I am gust trying to make up for lost time. i just had to go to sleep last night, sorry i missed out on this. Oh and Brandy we would have a blast together!!
I really have been laughing until tears are flowing … so many thoughts in my mind about gyna colleges. As a 40 something … with five children … no more modesty left at all. I am thankful my professors are very professional, as for awhile I was working along side them during deliveries … as a nurse on the other side of “things” … knowing they have seen my “things”, too!
Too funny, y’all!
Sara: I am pretty sure I would take along my own sheet to my next visit. That would totally gross me out!
Anyway, what I have been thinking as I read the comments is … this opens the door to a WHOLE NEW set of searches that end up finding your blog, Alece! (Gardening=Hedges; Mechanics=Jack; Horse back riders=Stirrups and … what about poor school children who may do a search for information about President BUSH?)

i love how the bantering on here has continued. and how much this has all made me laugh.
sarah — you are my hero for having babies in botswana. no lie. (and i’m with jean: bring your own sheet!)
faith — i’m forwarding your comment on to those who know “best”!
jean — YOU are a rockstar. i am glad you were not horrified or offended by our schoolgirl banter. i actually LOVE knowing that you laughed along with us!
FAITH!!!! You kill me!!!!! I wish oh I wish you could have seen my face reading that comment! HAHAHAHA!!!! I looked like the kid in Home Alone! hahahaha!!!!
I made Jake trim his hedges. ACTUALLY, I made him get rid of them. haha! And now, there is no goin back for him. Seriously, DO IT! Or rather, your man should DO IT!! I swear, you’ll never go back. hahahaha!!!
Alece (and roo’s mom) while reading her comment (jeans) I was blushing horribly as if MY MOM was reading these comments! HAHAHA!!!! Blushing and laughing hysterically! Why oh why do my best laughs come at one in the morning?! I should be in bed people! heehee
this is great!! i love the thought of school kids looking up info about BUSH!!! hahaha!!!
i just dont get the appeal for a hairless package!! I like my man with hair and this its sexy to have hair. I guess its personal preference and if i even asked dan to do that, he would DIE!!!! hahaha
and Brandy right when you said i wish you could have seen my face, i thought of you pulling the home alone face even before you said that!! haha great minds think alike!
did anyone have any answers to my brizillian question?
Faith! i am so pumped that there is another person in the world who shaves it all down south!! I love being hairless. I too would love to get it permanently removed. In VA the Brazilian leaves a pointless strip.You know for the indecisive person! haha. I would definitely find out what the total antartica look would be where you are.
THe whole razor burn ….. hmm use smaller razor for that area! that’s right they make vajayjay razors just for our kind! use conditionar instead of soap to shave with. Some times that works better then rock the lotion!
I use a brand new razor each time to prevent razor burn and then in between I use a wet/dry razor for women…. and I manage to avoid the burn! I will never go back to “foliage” again! haha!!
I can’t believe this conversation is happening. hahahaha!!!!
I thought the original picture that started this discussion was funny, then noticed that 159 comments had been left and had to see what everyone had been saying. Oh my!! Hilarious, enlightening, and just SO funny! I admit, I’m curious about the anti-razor burn strategies and methods for the men who decide to bare all…I’ll be checking back! Alece, I don’t know why I pop in on these discussions at the most random times – you’ve always got great content out here!
well you have quite a guy if he can stand to be LAUGHED at in that situation!
I looked at the store for the “mini shavers” but didnt see any. also why is it called an “Antarctica”, i would think that if you are there in the freezing weather you would have a full “bush” to keep you warm! (there is another Bush search word). Ah we could go on forever about these two subjects! The world revolves around penis and pussy. (ooops,i hope thats not a bad word, thats my word of choice for the lady parts, it just sounds nicer than VAGINA. Yuck!)
Ok another topic….
Whats your word of choice for both private parts?
(i found the mini-razors! in the aisle with all that kinda stuff in target… it wasn’t hanging with the other razors but was on the shelf with veet and nair and all those products. there was only one kind: a small box with 5 tiny razors in it.)
(oh… and sadly i googled “bikini wax” to get a more accurate term for an “antarctica wax” — and horrible pictures aside, everything i read says that fully hairless IS called a brazilian wax. hmph.)
love that this conversation is still going on!!! and now i am trying to picture hairless balls and penises…awesome!!
love me some tiny razors. it’s more gentle on our soft spots if you will! hmm…and about antartica…it cam to mind because is not tree in sight down there.i still think i would chose to hairless if i ever went. Never going back!
I can’t even imagine what popped up googling brazalian wax!! please tell vajayjay pics did not pop up!
i love these moments too Heidi!! we should text you to get on next time something crazy comes up!! for that matter we should all get instant text updates when something really fun is happening at the g&g!! that would be awesome!
bran — that picture about made my eyes pop out of my head.
heidi — i’m glad you’re here. and read through all the craziness. it makes me shake my head!
girls — i laugh over how long the comments have gone on in this dialogue. and how CRAZY the comments are. and how you used to freak me out with this kind of talk, and now i don’t think anything of it!
haha!! i love that you no longer freak out about what we say! its so great that we rubbed off on you!
Brandy- I love the picture!! But a man!!! REALLY??? I am all about a man OBGYN or the token gay flamer working at Express pulling the back of my jeans off to get a good look at the tag (another story) but a MAN pussy waxer??? I think i would draw the line there, unless it was a VERY gay man!! but on the other hand you could end up with a butch lesbian getting in your stuff!!! have any of you gotten a Brazilian wax yet?? I am waiting to grow it out long enough to wax, but every time i end up shaving it off.
ok so last time i went jean shopping dan and con came with me and were waiting by the dressing room door. I put on one pair and something was really wrong with them, so i come out and asked the guy what kind of jeans they were and why they were fitting so weird! he goes “let me take a look in your pants sweetheart” and proceeds to put his hand down the back of my pants, pulls them out and is looking down there, pretty much the whole nine yards!!! meanwhile, Dan and conrad are sitting just feet away watching. Later dan said “if he hadn’t sounded SOOO gay i would have ponded him for that!” it was very funny!
oh and after he figured out what kind of jeans they were he said “oh sweetheart, these are made for curvy girls, you dont need these!” to which i said “well i used to have curves, i guess i need a new kind for my new body!” man!
@moweezle says:
That is awesome!!!!
@atangie says:
Ha! that is good!
@cassgirl says:
Thanks for the oatmeal bath…. as I was laughing in hysterics!
Heh heh.
Too funny… even though I don’t like beer in general, Pabst is one of the worst!
normal is good. especially when talking Pabst.
That is stinkin’ funny!!
I knew you liked beer, just not that kind. where do you find this stuff??? ;)
still considering the options of getting the “beer” or not…leaning towards not!!!! I hate the whole “please warm the utensils” request…if that’s not obscene, I don’t know what is!
Pabst Beer is never normal! hahaha!!!
Also, thanks for reminding me that I’m about a year past due to visit the Gyna College. ;-) HAHA!
all I have to say is…”OH MY WORD”….lol
Typical man fashion.
Just had mine this morning. No big deal.
HA!
I’m in the computer lab at school giggling on my break.
PS. I’ve never gone.
It kind of creeps me out.
But I know someday I’ll have to.
Shame.

Men.
christen — …by wasting time doing brainless surfing online!
cathi — “please warm the utensils”!!! oh the gyn stories i could tell you…
soliloquy — this morning!? perfect timing.
becca — i went the first time just before i got married. one piece of advice: don’t go in africa.
gitz — french TOAST, that was funny!!!
haahahaha! that is just hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.
@traceepersiko says:
What the French, Toast!! that is re-dunk-u-lous.
tracee, the back of your head is ra-dik-a-liss!
This is great. Thanks for the smile.
hmm… cancel my subscription, keep my subscribtion, cancel, keep, …
Well ok … at least you mentioned beer.
ha ha! that’s the redeeming quality that’ll keep you reading the Grit?! that’s hilariously funny…
@danielleH says:
how silly
yeah. yeah. too funny! =)
ok first, i had to read this five times to finally get it!!! I am very slow!
second Alece i agree, never go to the gyne in africa!! been there done that, not fun!! thanks for the laugh!
Ok, you guys are making my imagination work overtime about what happens at the gyny in Africa… Alece, make an appointment while you’re in the States NOW.
That made me laugh since I visited the “Gyna Colleges” today….
i can’t believe TWO of you were there today!
and gitz — seriously. SERIOUSLY. i should so be going while i’m in america…
I will add I think I would have preferred the “Pabst Beer” rather than what was done…
Would you like me to call and make the appointment for you?
Because friends don’t let friends get paps in Africa, apparently…
jen — i’d take a beer over that any day!
gitz — you made me laugh really hard. thank you!
Dang, I shoulda saved it for the video… it was all the funny I had…
whatever. don’t sell yourself short. you make me laugh pretty often!
Ha ha…. I like that friends don’t let friends part, gitz. Glad I’m getting all that taken care of before take off to there.
@traceepersiko says:

sick and wrong.

ha ha!
some other people i can think of might recognize you better when you’re buck, too! (i shall never be on that list!)
@traceepersiko says:
doesn’t that sound stripper-ish!! hahahahaha
@traceepersiko says:
i’m off to talk about Jesus!
oops. it rather does. ra-dik-aluss!!!
happy bible studying.
Okay, ya’ll are kah-racking me up!
i’m so glad i’m not the only one laughing!
@cassgirl says:
Oh my cow wow. I came back after a long day at work and just re read all these comments. I haven’t laughed or cried so hard than tonight. The jack Tracee just TOTALLY had me rolling on the floor. I just sent that to all my mechanic friends with a picture of a Jack….

Oh Tracee those are women I sent those too.. Didn’t want you to panic now!!
@traceepersiko says:
it’s okay i am from the “out of the hood program”
heidi — “what he’s looking at on his macbook”! too funny!
tracee — you did not just say that! i love it!
@traceepersiko says:
I think Alece’s feeling would best be describe in song
(Beat box sound)
On the mic is a kitty so listen to her diddy
She don
@cassgirl says:
I just laughed in my pastor’s ear and he has no idea why, should I tell him??
Nakedness is just so bare…
@cassgirl says:
Out of the hood program…. classic!!!
I’ve been in Africa… dare I say we need to swap stories (not online!)?
you girls crack me up! glad I came back to see what was happening this evening.
TRUES story: ya wanta know how warped God’s since of humor is? He took us to a LARGE church in our community, we were hooked on the church’s mission, we joined. (about 8K a week there!)

If someone is goin to be messin around in THAT area, we need to have a repore. (sp?!) AND they need to be FEMALE. *shock*
Okay, enough Gyna talk. haha!
traceQuiQui — you did not just write “vajayjay” on my blog! ha!
christen — we should totally swap stories some time.
jane — oh my fallopian tubes! i don’t think i could do it. nope. couldn’t.
brandy — i’m with you on the “need to be female”. no way in heck i could have a guy gyne. ummm… no thanks.
trust me…you could. i’m not changing churches (a church that GOD took us to) because of a my professor. I actually LOVE the fact that she is under the same preaching that I am. She has been there since is started 10 years ago and is committed to God and our community.
many of us say we could never live outside of the comforts of the states. look at you. you do it cause you have been called to live there. I’ve been called to serve in the children’s ministry, where my professor (a person too) happens to be ever Sunday.
i think i had waaaaaay to many partners before marriage and then salvation…this topic really does not freak me out. not even a male professor is an issue. and my professor is younger than my oldest sister! you should hear her get on me when I skip a mamo…she is a survivor and gets really ticked off if you neglect your girls.
moral of the story: don’t neglect your girls!
Hahahaha!!!!
ok so i have the africa story to top ALL of these! Alece feel free to remove this if its too much info.
So in africa i went to a very good looking single dr and as if that was not awkward enough (very good looking man messing with your stuff) he went to our very small church and the week after i saw him he asked me (at church none the less) how everything was doing (like how my stuff was doing!) it was so awkward and funny. I had a little crush on him!
then one week he was out of town when i needed an “emergency pap” and some creepy guy was like checking me out and said “well i can do it for you” i was like no thanks i will wait! haha
good times!
faith — he asked you at church how your STUFF was!? i could NOT handle that!
@traceepersiko says:
i mean is it even ok to cruch on your vajayjay dr.? asking you about your grill in the middle worship.. how does that go?
singing “blessed be your name..”
“hey faith, just wondering how your vigina is doing. i don’t feel like we got off on the right foot.”
haha! i dont know!
was it like that (dumb) richard gere movie with all the women swooning over him???? :)
(how’d it go tonight, faith???)
it was good, i liked the guy and we just kind of got to know each other. and no it was not like that movie at all!
he was much better looking, haha
did you still see him while you were crushing on him??
and what? you don’t like richard gere???
hes not my type. and yes i had a crush on him while he was doing his thing, i know i am so dirty!!
oh girl. you crack me UP!
i know
tracee said we’re the vagina monologues over here today. i told her you’re the leader of the pack!
haha!! i have some good and really bad obgyn stories!
what other bad ones ya got? i could use the laugh!
oh no there are no more laughs only really bad situations!!
like i went to this one place and i saw a creepy old guy and i thought “if thats the guy im out of here” and sure enought it was the guy and i stayed and after i felt so violated and creeped out, i cried in my car! he didnt do or say anything it was just such a strong creepy vibe. i called and complained about him and my brother did to!!
@knights_lady says:
Hey – don’t know where you girls are getting your African professors! I’ve never had a bad experience…
ok let me clarify!
The dr i had the crush on was a really good obgyn!!
the other guy i saw there was not! haha
so i guess for me it was a 50/ 50
your brother did, too!?!?!?
alright, since you’re fessing:
my first gyne appointment ever was in SA just before i got married. i drove 3 hours away to a city, trying to find the best possible scenario. it was an old mean woman. she made me lay down on a fully flat bad pushed up against the wall. perfect for clear visibility and easy access, ya know? in went the jack, i squealed in pain – and asked her to stop. her answer? “if you think this is bad, just wait for sex, sweetie.”
i lay there crying in excruciating pain for the rest of the appointment. seriously – WAY more pain than is normal (i did some research here) so i don’t know if it was her huge dilapidated outdated instruments or the flat bed or what. but that was one memorably rough experience.
louise — i am so glad you have had good experiences there! seriously.
OMG!! that is so bad!! i had a similar thing with the other guy in Maun. i was crying because i had an infection that made me really sore anf he was not gentile at all. ya as if a penis feels anything like sharp cold metal!!?? haha
like why do they even compare that!!? thats the stupidest thing ever!! im laughing about it right now!!
did you REALLY just say the wanker word on here?! oh my faith, how i love you!
HAHAHA!!!!yes you know i did!!!
PENIS!!!!
WANG!!!
SHLONG!!!
DICK!!
i could go on and on but i think the rest are too dirty!
dang…your first professor was not.good.at.all! that is just WRONG on so many levels. I guess I have been blessed with only good professors. and living in 4 states, I remember 7 different professors in the 4 states.
my professor in AL was a fellow motorcycle rider, so we always talked about road trips we had been on.
okay…enough of memory lane and laughter for me. I’m exhausted and need sleep. now.
ok fun talking, good night!

jane — i cannot imagine chatting it up about my travels.
although the first time i saw a gyne in america—because of ovarian cysts bursting (talk about PAINFUL!!!!)—i told her all about my african experience. she was shocked. SHOCKED. when she told me to put my feet up in the stirrups, i had to be honest, “i’ve never used these before.” she was pretty incredulous.
so yeah, i guess we conversed quite a bit. hmph.
“krall the warrior king”! ha!
You rang my dear? hahaha!
just scroll up, my friend. this is so a conversation i knew you wouldn’t want to miss. ha. (i love you!)
I just read through all of that!
OH MY GOSH! My jaw dropped at your first time experience! AWFUL! My thighs instantly went into the jaws of life clamp when I read that.
(I love you too!)
My first time having the “speculum” (such a GROSS name for it) was NOT for an OB appt, and the dr said “this is the one size we use for little girls who need a rape kit done so it shouldn’t hurt you.” Yeah, that was creepy. The thoughts in my head about those girls….so sad.
Faith!! I would SO LOVE to hang out with you. Seriously. SERIOUSLY!
@tamhodge says:
theres nothing worse than Pabst Beer. i prefer Bush.
Oh, and I love when they say “just relax”
yeah. uh huh. suuuuuuuuure.
Tam, I’m sure Brent prefers Bush as well.
WHA?!
tam — i prefer killians.
bran — i know, right?! come on!
“krall the warrior king” is the FUNNIEST one I have EVER heard! hahaha!
Al, one place I went had a poster on the ceiling. hahaha!!! Yeah, because it’s not uncomfortable enough I want you to give me something to look at to get me in the mood to relax.
Yeah, no thanks.
What are these doctors THINKING?!?! haha!
wait, wait, wait. what KIND of poster????
brandy — re: your comment to tam. ::insert bug-eyed guy here:: can i get a “brazillian!”?
“can I get a brazillian?” HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Tam, are you part brazillian? HAHA!
What kind of poster? I do seem to remember a young Brad Pitt. No joke.
For real, I TOTALLY thought that’s where Tam was going with that…… but apparently I’m starting to think like Jake. *shock* hahaha!
However, thanks to you dear, we are both homemade brazillians. hahaha!
Can we make comments private?
no?
shame.
heehee
i discovered another friend who homemade-brazillians with us. our club is growing! and i bet that is what tam meant! ha.
a young brad pitt?! good lord!
@traceepersiko says:
forget brazil! go all antartica!
@traceepersiko says:
that is jungle free and all fresh and so clean, clean
Yeah, I never was a Brad Pitt fan either. EVER. I’m weird huh? haha
when I read your first sentence I thought “wait wait wait….WITH US?!” hahaha!
Yes, it is going to be all the rage. ;-) I passed on the idea to Jake’s cousin as well….for HER hubby. hahaha!!! It’s spreadin like wild fire! haha!
apparently we’ve been using the wrong word. brazillians leave a landing strip… is that what you do!?
@traceepersiko says:
here in Vigina is for lovers, brazil leaves a landing strip
antarctica!! HAHAHAHA!!!!
oh no
no no no
NO LANDING STRIP!
@traceepersiko says:

OMGOSH that was HILARIOUS!!!!
I saw her put on the shoes and I thought “oh no. oh no. gurrrrrrrrl” hahaha!!
I love how people recorded their reactions to it. haha!!!! I laughed so hard. My chest hurts.
I had to turn down the volume so SHE didn’t wake the boys up! HAHA!
yeah i laugh every time i watch it. every single time.
Okay girls, it’s been fun, but I gotta go. It’s WAY LATE here and I was up last night until 4freakingAM with Aidan.
Tracee, you are hilarious!
Dear Sweet Alece, I love you friend!
4 AM with Aidan!? SHAME! go to bed, friend. i’m glad we had some comment banter together again.
i love you!
Oh my, there some serious “grit” on the grit! Too funny!!!
Okay, here’s mine….I think I can top Faith’s “Botswana OB” experience. **There is no OB in Maun anymore (i never remember a cute guy Faith, he must have been before my time, darn it!)
When I got pregnant with Andrew I had to chose a doc that would do my prenatal care in Maun and then I went to an actual OB in Gaborone, the capital city. I had to go to Dr. Carey (AKA Dr. Scary) who is at least in his late 50′s and in a wheel chair, and not attractive…..unless you like half unbuttoned shirts with chest hair. Thankfully Dr. Scary didn’t ever have to check for dilation and my appointments were pretty strait forward.
After I had Andrew I had to go in for my check up appointment at 6 weeks to make sure my insides were healing okay. After having a baby I figured it couldn’t get much worse and after all, how bad could it be right?
Well Dr. Scary hands me a “robe” that looks like it hasn’t been washed in years and tells me to undress in the bathroom. I gave myself a “pep talk” in the bathroom and prayed against any nasty germs that were hanging around his dirty office. He asked me to lay on his table which also had a sheet that looked like it hadn’t been washed and I had to adjust it so it was actually covering the table. (I could write a whole nother comment on the “sheets” in his office….I’ll refrain!) I climbed up, closed my eyes thinking, “It will be quick…..it always is.”
Well since he’s in a wheel chair it’s not very easy for him to see down there so I had to contort my bottom all types of ways so he could get a good view. Then came the “cranker” which I thought was going to scrape my insides as he slid it in. He must have saw me grab the table because he was like, “sorry…..hard to get the right angle.” He then proceeded to take a flash light to look in. I swear that was the longest pap smear of my life and was def worse than having a baby!! Once it was over I dressed quickly and was outta there. I had the heebeejeebee’s the whole day and told Kev my experience. He was like, “You’ll never do that again! Next time we’ll fly you to Gabs!”
Honestly, Dr. Scary was as professional as he could be in that situation, but I guess most of all it was just uncomfortable. Afterall, it’s not all the time that someone takes a flashlight to look at your girls! :) ha!
Oh lord…..the price we pay for being missionaries in third world countries. I either go to Gabs now or wait and go in the US!
Oh and i forgot to add the whole time I am on the table all I can think about is “How many other butts have been on this sheet?” Ick!!!!!
Maybe I should post about the sheet…….it’s quite comical.
My friend and fellow missionary, Patricia and I were both expecting at the same time and she was also seeing Dr. Scary. Between the two of us we came to the conclusion that Dr. Scary had 3 sheets for his examination table……all on about a 4-6 month rotation. Meaning that you didn’t ever see a new sheet on that table till about 4-6 months away.
One time her little girl got sick after getting a shot and vomited on the table/sheet. Dr. Scary without skipping a beat took some paper towels and wiped it off! Patricia was apologizing about getting the sheet dirty, he said, “Oh it’s okay”……..he never changed the sheet, just adjusted it and the next time she went back for her appointment it was the same sheet!!!
So yeah…..we joked each time about which sheet was on the table and laughed about the conversation in the office….. “Hey it’s been 6 months Precious…..can you make sure you change the sheet to the blue one with the teddy bear on it? Nope, don’t wash the other one right away….you’ve got at least 6 months before it needs to be ready.”
Now……you know why I wondered how many other dirty butts had been on that sheet! :)
@knights_lady says:
Gooooood grief you guys – I’m gobsmacked by your stories. Mindblowing.
Note to self: Avoid the Gyna Colleges in Africa. Do not let them do biopsies or even give you Pabst Beers there…. Do in the US, do in the US….
this is crazy!!! ok so if a brazillian leaves a strip then whats it called with no hair?? I have been shaving it ALL off but sometime i would like to get a good wax, so what do i ask for… also any good tips for not getting razor burn?ok and i am so slow lately that i didnt catch a lot of what you were talking about so i will just be blunt and ask if it was what i thought it was, here goes…
were you talking about men shaving their package??? that is so weird, my brother does this (along with the rest of his body, dont worry i have not seen this first hand!) i like hair on a man! oh crap it’s 9am and i am talking about PUBES!!! I am gust trying to make up for lost time. i just had to go to sleep last night, sorry i missed out on this. Oh and Brandy we would have a blast together!!
So funny! My husband is deathly afraid of the OB!
Yes Jen….thank your lucky stars that you don’t have to go to the Gyna Colleges here! :)
I really have been laughing until tears are flowing … so many thoughts in my mind about gyna colleges. As a 40 something … with five children … no more modesty left at all. I am thankful my professors are very professional, as for awhile I was working along side them during deliveries … as a nurse on the other side of “things” … knowing they have seen my “things”, too!
Too funny, y’all!
Sara: I am pretty sure I would take along my own sheet to my next visit. That would totally gross me out!
Anyway, what I have been thinking as I read the comments is … this opens the door to a WHOLE NEW set of searches that end up finding your blog, Alece! (Gardening=Hedges; Mechanics=Jack; Horse back riders=Stirrups and … what about poor school children who may do a search for information about President BUSH?)
Laughing out loud again.
Thanks for sharing the smiles …

i love how the bantering on here has continued. and how much this has all made me laugh.
sarah — you are my hero for having babies in botswana. no lie. (and i’m with jean: bring your own sheet!)
faith — i’m forwarding your comment on to those who know “best”!
jean — YOU are a rockstar. i am glad you were not horrified or offended by our schoolgirl banter. i actually LOVE knowing that you laughed along with us!
FAITH!!!! You kill me!!!!! I wish oh I wish you could have seen my face reading that comment! HAHAHAHA!!!! I looked like the kid in Home Alone! hahahaha!!!!
I made Jake trim his hedges. ACTUALLY, I made him get rid of them. haha! And now, there is no goin back for him. Seriously, DO IT! Or rather, your man should DO IT!! I swear, you’ll never go back. hahahaha!!!
Alece (and roo’s mom) while reading her comment (jeans) I was blushing horribly as if MY MOM was reading these comments! HAHAHA!!!! Blushing and laughing hysterically! Why oh why do my best laughs come at one in the morning?! I should be in bed people! heehee
Love you!
this is great!! i love the thought of school kids looking up info about BUSH!!! hahaha!!!
i just dont get the appeal for a hairless package!! I like my man with hair and this its sexy to have hair. I guess its personal preference and if i even asked dan to do that, he would DIE!!!! hahaha
and Brandy right when you said i wish you could have seen my face, i thought of you pulling the home alone face even before you said that!! haha great minds think alike!
did anyone have any answers to my brizillian question?
@traceepersiko says:
Faith! i am so pumped that there is another person in the world who shaves it all down south!! I love being hairless. I too would love to get it permanently removed. In VA the Brazilian leaves a pointless strip.You know for the indecisive person! haha. I would definitely find out what the total antartica look would be where you are.
THe whole razor burn ….. hmm use smaller razor for that area! that’s right they make vajayjay razors just for our kind! use conditionar instead of soap to shave with. Some times that works better then rock the lotion!
I use a brand new razor each time to prevent razor burn and then in between I use a wet/dry razor for women…. and I manage to avoid the burn! I will never go back to “foliage” again! haha!!
I can’t believe this conversation is happening. hahahaha!!!!
so what brand of mini shavers are there and where do you find them??
I thought the original picture that started this discussion was funny, then noticed that 159 comments had been left and had to see what everyone had been saying. Oh my!! Hilarious, enlightening, and just SO funny! I admit, I’m curious about the anti-razor burn strategies and methods for the men who decide to bare all…I’ll be checking back! Alece, I don’t know why I pop in on these discussions at the most random times – you’ve always got great content out here!
yes i was also wondering how one shaves his BALLS!! like that seems more tricky than vajayjay!!
well now I am confused…. trying to remember if he shaves THOSE. I don’t think so. Just everything else. haha!
This is hilarious.
hhhhhhhhmmmmmm im just trying to think what that would look like. hhhmmm
I won’t lie….at first it was…ummm… interesting. I couldn’t stop laughing. haha!
well you have quite a guy if he can stand to be LAUGHED at in that situation!
I looked at the store for the “mini shavers” but didnt see any. also why is it called an “Antarctica”, i would think that if you are there in the freezing weather you would have a full “bush” to keep you warm! (there is another Bush search word). Ah we could go on forever about these two subjects! The world revolves around penis and pussy. (ooops,i hope thats not a bad word, thats my word of choice for the lady parts, it just sounds nicer than VAGINA. Yuck!)
Ok another topic….
Whats your word of choice for both private parts?
(Alece i hope you dont block me from your blog!!)
(i found the mini-razors! in the aisle with all that kinda stuff in target… it wasn’t hanging with the other razors but was on the shelf with veet and nair and all those products. there was only one kind: a small box with 5 tiny razors in it.)
(oh… and sadly i googled “bikini wax” to get a more accurate term for an “antarctica wax” — and horrible pictures aside, everything i read says that fully hairless IS called a brazilian wax. hmph.)
@traceepersiko says:
love that this conversation is still going on!!! and now i am trying to picture hairless balls and penises…awesome!!
love me some tiny razors. it’s more gentle on our soft spots if you will! hmm…and about antartica…it cam to mind because is not tree in sight down there.i still think i would chose to hairless if i ever went. Never going back!
I can’t even imagine what popped up googling brazalian wax!! please tell vajayjay pics did not pop up!
vajayjay pics. right on wikipedia. GASP!
man i learn so much on here! ok i will check at target tomorrow for the mini razors! and let you know how that works out!
@cassgirl says:
Okay, I came home from church and I have all these comments in my inbox.
I laughed so hard….
I missed a nite out with the girls.. I am so disappointed…
Friend, i guess you are plugged back in!!!!
Mini razors?? Oh my …….!!
bare balls?? I better stop.
Thanks my amigas for an awesome return and hilarious moment!!!
i love these moments too Heidi!! we should text you to get on next time something crazy comes up!! for that matter we should all get instant text updates when something really fun is happening at the g&g!! that would be awesome!
found the razors!!! i have yet to use them, i will keep you all posted! haha
THIS IS HILARIOUS!!
I am late upon returning but if I had been on time I would have missed so much!
Faith, we BOTH laughed. It was a hysterical moment!
He would KILL ME if he knew we were talking about this. hahahaha! Too funny!

Actually I did subscribe to the thread, I haven’t laughed so much.
My life has been rapid …
I haven’t been able to sit down until this moment since Thursday.
bran — that picture about made my eyes pop out of my head.
heidi — i’m glad you’re here. and read through all the craziness. it makes me shake my head!
girls — i laugh over how long the comments have gone on in this dialogue. and how CRAZY the comments are. and how you used to freak me out with this kind of talk, and now i don’t think anything of it!
haha!! i love that you no longer freak out about what we say! its so great that we rubbed off on you!
Brandy- I love the picture!! But a man!!! REALLY??? I am all about a man OBGYN or the token gay flamer working at Express pulling the back of my jeans off to get a good look at the tag (another story) but a MAN pussy waxer??? I think i would draw the line there, unless it was a VERY gay man!! but on the other hand you could end up with a butch lesbian getting in your stuff!!! have any of you gotten a Brazilian wax yet?? I am waiting to grow it out long enough to wax, but every time i end up shaving it off.
ok so last time i went jean shopping dan and con came with me and were waiting by the dressing room door. I put on one pair and something was really wrong with them, so i come out and asked the guy what kind of jeans they were and why they were fitting so weird! he goes “let me take a look in your pants sweetheart” and proceeds to put his hand down the back of my pants, pulls them out and is looking down there, pretty much the whole nine yards!!! meanwhile, Dan and conrad are sitting just feet away watching. Later dan said “if he hadn’t sounded SOOO gay i would have ponded him for that!” it was very funny!
oh and after he figured out what kind of jeans they were he said “oh sweetheart, these are made for curvy girls, you dont need these!” to which i said “well i used to have curves, i guess i need a new kind for my new body!” man!
I think I’m officially speechless. LOL!
me, too!
haha you guys are great!
