" magic time"????? that may be one of the most cringe worthy phrases I've heard recently.

You know, I kind of like it. It's better than "Aunt Flo is here for a visit" or "I'm on the rag" or some other indelicate euphemism.

What Bulsajo said.

IF it's based on acupuncture/pressure, it could very well be legitimate.

Blood-letting implies draining the main veins. Getting medieval.

All this communal bloodletting....please tell me that they are using a fresh sterile needle for each person?


Not in what I saw, which made it even that much more shocking. They used the same needle on all four of them. The chances that any of them have some kind of blood-borne illness is pretty slim, granted, but I've had 20 odd years of AIDS awareness jammed down my throat. I don't even like sharing my sodas unless it's someone I'm sleeping with.
