no, i don't recall getting that pamphlet/booklet. And, thanks to the timing of my 5th grade move to a new town, i didn't have any sort of school education on this (or related) subjects until 8th grade, nearly 4 years too late. :P

my education at home wasn't much better. we were on our way home from vacation when my first period came, and the extent of my "education" was mom shoving a pad through the rest-stop bathroom stall to me, and then showing me where the supplies were kept when we got home. Everything else i've figured out on my own, through magazines/books, or with the help of friends.

(actually, tonight's NaNo brain dump was freakishly close to this topic. i might even post it!)
