What the heck did that nurse think that lesbians do?
Wait, I don't want to know....
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

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

I've never had a medical professional press me past signing forms to swear I'm not pregnant. If I go in this afternoon and they try to give me a pregnancy test before they'll give me an x-ray, I'll just say, "See, I knew this was a bad idea. Thanks, but no thanks. I'm going home to ice my foot and watch Cowboy Bebop."
'Cause, Christ, if I have to wear a hospital gown, leave me with some dignity.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
AT the OB-Gyn on Monday I made the nurse taking my history laugh when she asked if I used birth control. "Condoms." I answered, and as she wrote it down I added "although, technically, I'm not the one using them."

Maybe I look gayer than you, Kat.
Quite possible. I think it's a hair cut.

asking how many years without sex before you can call yourself celibate shuts my Drs. right up.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
I've had times of severe stress where I had headaches that would not go away, and then the muscles that go from my neck to my shoulders started to cramp severely.
did it ever make your throat muscle constrict? because that's what freaked me out. everything else i have dealt with before.
I forgot to add in that post that my dad said this happened to him a few days ago, which is why i'm leaning towards thinking this is some kind of "virus".

Now tagless for your comfort.
Cashmere, you crazy close-child-spacing woman! Congratulations.
Thanks. My age was a factor to say, "let's go ahead and do it". Still. It definitely feels crazy.
Cash has nothing on my co-worker. she is my age(soon to be 26!) and will have 3 kids under 3 within the month. INSANE!
I'm sitting here concentrating on a singleton baby. Because this would drive me right over the edge. Not that I couldn't cope but I had a friend who had twins (prematurely) and a 14 month old baby boy. I don't think she's slept in two years.
When my friend was being admitted to a hospital a few years ago the admitting nurse would not take, "I'm a lesbian." as an answer to "What kind of birth control do you use?"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

To be fair, I've known plenty of pregnant lesbians. Although, having generally gotten there after great effort and expense and planning and occasionally TMI turkey-baster stories, they tend to be pretty aware of the fact.

I've used "not unless I was abducted by aliens" in answer to the "any chance you're pregnant?" question.

did it ever make your throat muscle constrict?
No, but I wasn't driving an interstate when it happened, so I was able to do some stretches to try and de-cramp my neck right away. I've never had my throat muscle constrict. I'm sitting here swallowing repeatedly at the thought of it.
