If I saw someone in a corset at the grocery store, I would assume there is more to thier life than the grocery store.

Corset question: Meschantes lists this as being for sale in your size, and this in a variety of sizes (so I'm assuming it's pre-made). There are quite a few measurements they ask for (though I'm assuming underbust doesn't need all of them). How significant is the risk of buying one of the latter by waist size alone and ending up with something that doesn't fit in another dimension?

I kinda hope this is true of everyone in the grocery store.

Did you get to watch on the monitor?

Yes! It was pretty freakin' cool. The doctor, who I really liked, pointed out everything to me ("That's your kidney...and now, okay, we're bumping into the wall of the blood vessel but we'll make the turn"). The only part that kinda sucked was the dye injection, which hurt, and made me look like Two Face, if half of Two Face was Violet Beauregard.

Huh. Weird. I've only had Valium once, and it wasn't for a needle phobia (which I don't have) but to relax me while they stuck a camera wire into my vein at my pubic bone and navigated my circulatory system with it up to my shoulder, where they then injected dye through the wire.

I've had that sort of thing! Only they entered via my groin, travelled through the heart and wound up inside my head. And every time they took a photo, it tasted like iodine!

Ah, much like a woman is a teeny tiny camera...

Hee. Romance in the new millennium!

The cat likes to hide under the sheet as I'm tucking it in (flat or fitted)

Mine does this, too. I just ignore him and keep making the bed. I end up with a cat-lump, but he crawls out when he gets bored.

Sammie's favorite game when she was a kitten was "mouse under the covers" with my fingers. Occationally made it difficult to get any sleep. Now that she is grown up, roles have reversed and she likes to play "monster under the covers". We always have a good round of it when I change the sheets. Years ago, I read some article or book whose author stated that you could test the intelligence of a dog or cat by throwing a blanket over them and seeing how quickly they got out from under it. I figure this guy had met no more than three cats in his life, and I'm not sure about the dogs, either.

Cindy, I have no problem accepting help from friends and neighbors when I need it. I do have a problem asking for help from people who have problems asking for help, because they obviously do not think it is an ok thing to do.

Oh, not at all. It's just *me* who shouldn't be asking for help - I've no problem helping other people out, and gladly.

Yep. This perzactly.

I had valium to relax for my Lasik surgery. I asked the doc for one for the road since my mother was driving me home. I like the stuff--make that LOVE.

Cindy, I'm sorry about the car stuff. I would be having serious fits if anything happened to our second car (even though it's a truck and useless for anything kid related). Our bus system bites here and isn't very convenient. I hope things can get worked out (if the job would kick in a little something, that would be GREAT).

Both kids have colds. Did you snot multiplies EXPONENTIALLY with more kids? *sigh* And snotty infants are the worst. They snuffle and wheeze when they're trying to feed and it's freakin' awful.
