So last night I had to tear home, change clothes and primp like a mofo in 10 minutes and then we drove two hours to the OC to our niece's confirmation from Hebrew School. We get there and there are, like, three cars in the parking lot. I point to an empty spot with a "reserved for" name painted on it, turn to the BF and say "I may not be Jewish, but shouldn't the Rabbi be here?" Yeah...we got the night wrong. We'll miss that actual confirmation tonight, but did go have take out Chinese with the whole family and had a great evening.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Has anyone had to get an x-ray recently? Am I supposed to go to the emergency room?
I'd call your GP or check and see if your insurance has a nurse-advisor number. The ER is probably the most expensive way to get them done. It's not that much of a hassle, but perhaps I'm too used to it.

One last Rent note and then, I promise, I'll obsess about something else.

Will it be as wildly unpleasant as that time in college when I had to sign forms in triplicate that I wasn't pregnant before they'd treat me?
Probably will be.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
In college they always think you're pregnant.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It was so weird -- I showed up early for my MRI yesterday, and they scanned me early. There I was, scoping the waiting room chairs, and working out how to best nap, and bam! They were dragging me away.

I've had to have x-rays taken of my hip joints every few years since I was about 14. I generally have to go through an insane amount of "No, I'm really really not pregnant. Yes, I'm absolutely positive about this."

Did a doctor tell you to get an x-ray or do you just think it's a good idea? If you're going in without a referral, the ER would probably be the best bet, if it's something like, "I just hit my leg very hard against something and I'd like to make sure it's not broken."

They always ask you if you're pregnant. You have to state why you're sure you're not pregnant. My HMO has checkboxes for things like "Use birth control" but not for "Haven't had sex this century."

Really? I never have.
