<p>oh, and I think sending a box of condoms off with the kid is an AWESOME idea - count me in - eventhough I would be FLOORED if her school didn’t have a free candy jar of them somewhere.</p>
<p>"And all the 2013-14-15 parents still lurking are now saying, “OMG, two weeks ago they were still freaking out about admission decisions in that 2012 group. Now a bunch of them are buying Day-Glo neon strawberry-flavored XL condoms for their kids.”</p>
<p>IM AM LAUGHING TOO HARD - this is so accurate! I think a sign (at least I am) we are way more chill now :)</p>
<p>woody35, I too am sitting at my desk chortling most unbecomingly!</p>
<p>Also laughing at that comment…what a difference in tone from a month ago in this thread, eh?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>unfortunately, that free candy jar will be across campus in a locked room when she needs them most!</p>
<p>DS just walked in from school. He had to attend a mandatory senior meeting in the afternoon after the AP Gov test. The AP Gov test was “really easy”.
He came home with all sorts of graduation information (on dress and decorum and directions etc). It really does seem to be on the horizon now!</p>
<p>ok since with a girl you wont know, do we just use hope? I just sent the generic trojans who knew???</p>
<p>rerunagain: D also did the civil war and article of confederation - I forget the 3rd.</p>
<p>tampons now come in the multi-size box, so condoms could as well - a “starter pack” maybe? Although, that might freak the guy out because it would imply that she might be needing to have protection in several sizes in the very near future.</p>
<p>Perhaps it’s the 16 yo girls who need the “starter pack”…</p>
<p>I vote for buying one box of magnums that are replaced with reg size. Kinda like pooring cheap vodka into a grey goose bottle.</p>
<p>LOL 911C2S!!! That’s my super snork or the day!</p>
<p>“Now a bunch of them are buying Day-Glo neon strawberry-flavored XL condoms for their kids.”</p>
<p>I think that the Day-Glo neon would probably be lemon or lime flavored. Just a guess, don’t have first hand knowledge. ;)</p>
<p>Don’t forget, they make great stocking stuffers as well!</p>
<p>I can see grandma’s face when S unwraps the glo in the dark condoms Santa put in his stocking! LOL</p>
<p>Oh, was just trying to find Wellesley duct tape (to no avail) and thought - what we need are school logo condoms!</p>
<p>vlines - to be serious, my D’s grandmother would totally approve of condoms as stocking stuffers!</p>
<p>OK - I decided to go straight to the source and googles S* Ol*f and condom and got this Tuesday, March 13 2012 Official School Calendar entry:
Back by popular demand, the Wellness Center is hosting a team-based competition that tests students’ knowledge of sexual health, reproductive anatomy, and STI statistics. It all culminates in an intense relay race to properly put on a condom while wearing ‘beer goggles.’ Come and bring your friends! </p>
<p>and this from the School Newspaper:
Friday, October 3, 2003</p>
<p>S<em>. Ol</em>f has finally decided to make condoms readily available at all hours of the day. A new policy has been instituted, and from what I hear, condom dispensers will be put in the bathrooms on campus. This policy is a far cry from having condoms distributed secretly via JCs and RAs, or picking them up at the Gender and Sexuality Center, which closes at 5:00 p.m. Why, it seems as if only yesterday that condoms were a dirty issue not befitting a conservative Lutheran college.
In a college in which we’re all virginal little angels who don’t drink, it seems almost surreal that such a public and controversial issue has finally been rectified. I say rectified because the lack of contraception at S<em>. Ol</em>f has been unnerving me. In this day and age, when it is a widely known and accepted fact that premarital sex occurs, it seemed as if S<em>. Ol</em>f was turning an ignorant eye on issues it simply did not want to acknowledge. The lack of condoms was not so much a stand against sex, but a hear-no-evil, see-no-evil stand against the contemporary issues facing today’s young people. </p>

<p>I guess I don’t have to worry that the school is too religious for D who is “culturally Episcopalian” but not really religious. Yeah for our school!!!</p>
<p>Amish grandma would not, other one would be fine!</p>
<p>Apparently, Wellesley has had condom jewelry since 1989 - AIDS awareness initiative :)</p>

<p>H just got home from a business trip. Said that he could really go for a vodka on the rocks. I told him I had a headache.</p>
<p>vodka on the rocks should do wonders for that headache!</p>
