Mal ,'War Stories'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I was fine with it, until I met with him in his office (as opposed to an exam room), after my first pre-natal exam, and saw a picture of him with a boy I had a huge crush on, in high school. That boy is his brother-in-law.
HA!
I would bet that my gyn is about my age...maybe even a few years younger (that's a scary thought!). He's a resident, so...
Bwah! Oh Cindy, that's hysterical.
I have to remind myself that at least the picture isn't in an exam room.

Now I'm picturing it painted onto one of the ceiling tiles to be the "pretty" you look at while you're flat on your back. That would make gyny visits, well, interesting.
Thanks, Anne. I've been doing some reading, and I do know not to mess with it too much because of the long-term gains. It looks like a Roth IRA at Vanguard with their Target Retirement Fund is the best bet to get started right now. I think contributing for 2006 will be a really good idea, especially because of the five-year rule that will magically hold from January 1, 2006, rather than right now. After that, I can start looking at regular investments and contributing for this year.
Exactly, P-C. Since I made like $1000 last year, I opened a Roth IRA last week as part of doing my taxes.
I recently discovered that I hadn't signed up for employer contributions. So, I signed up AND they made it retroactive. Wooo!
Awesome, Vortex! We got it retroactive too. I had to do some calculations to figure out how much extra to contribute till the end of the year. It was fun.
I'm back from dropping off Emily and Tom. I declare Scola Fest: The San Francisco Leg to be a complete success. Drinks were quaffed, karaoke was sung, tasty food bits were consumed, dancing happened, drunken swaying happened, jokes and gossip happened, inappropriate touching happened, appropriate touching happened. We met Motorcycle Boy. Some karaoke girl got all up in Juliana's grill (though there were no coloraturas involved), but I think it was really UST.
It was a Very Fun Night, even if the karaoke was mostly gawdawful. (Whyfor did he massacre "You Never Even Called Me By My Name"? WHY?)

because that's the only way that song can be done?
