Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

They're taking bread out of the mouths of Harvard Square's indigenous Andean pipes-playing people!

Something of a tongue-twister there.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Going back a ways (having skipped like crazy) -

ChiKat, what you described is exactly what happened to me. I had a BIG white spot on my baseline mammogram and they had me come back in six months to check. After the six-month check, they did an ultrasound and said I needed a biopsy (it showed two cysts and something else).

I ended up having to have an excision (surgical) biopsy. I was back to pretty much normal after a week. The results were negative for malignancy.

So check, but don't worry - most of these things turn out to be cysts or something innocuous. That's what these things are for - to catch anything before you're in danger. They also scare you needlessly - really, it's almost certainly a cyst or something you don't need to worry about.

Thrive to spite them

I'm going up to see Ginger on Labor Day and we're going to Dragon Con! My first real convention.

I'm pretty sure other Buffistas are planning on going, I'm going to post in F2F about getting a F2F thing going for that.

Dude. I just checked in for my flight tomorrow.

Rock.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

So check, but don't worry - most of these things turn out to be cysts or something innocuous. That's what these things are for - to catch anything before you're in danger. They also scare you needlessly - really, it's almost certainly a cyst or something you don't need to worry about.

Thanks, Toddson. I know it's most likely harmless, it's just the waiting to find out for sure that's icky. I will say, all the people have been very reassuring that it's most likely nothing--the nurse, radiologist and my primary care doc have all said that. They also said that it's very common to have to go back after a baseline mammo because they have nothing to compare. I just want to know for sure RIGHT NOW. Because I am impatient that way.

Unfortunately, I keep feeling my boob where they said the spot was trying to feel it. I can't, so I guess it's small. But, I expect a coworker will catch me feeling myself up at some point!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Dude. I just checked in for my flight tomorrow.

I'm gonna try that next time I fly. In 16 days.

K-Bug just found out that she will get her braces off in little over a month. She is so excited.

I still remember when she lost her first tooth, and now we are almost done with ortho and talking about learners permits...YIKES!!!

A loose tooth always freaked me out. I think it probably was the first time I experienced being both strongly squicked and yet drawn to something -- once it started I dreaded having it break off but I couldn't stop fussing with it.

I just checked in for my flight tomorrow.

Is there an advantage to doing this if you still have to check bags?
