And on another subject - mammograms are uncomfortable and unpleasant BUT it's once a year, doesn't take long, and may save your life.
Yes. They are. I was shocked at just how unpleasant, considering I don't have much in the way of squishables, but I think that's what made it so uncomfortable.
I'm afraid I may also have to go in for a girl bits check up before my scheduled yearly-- I suspect my fibroids are acting up after a few years of lying low and behaving. If they are, I might be looking at surgery.
Color me not happy.
Mammograms are scary to me. But I have no trouble with giving blood. I would like to swap with someone who is afraid of needles! I'll do a blood draw for you if you get my mammogram!
I just slammed Orson Scott Card, taught my students the word schadenfreude, led two successfulish whole class discussions where they made sense of the Aristotle stuff WITHOUT ME and got a kid to register to vote.
Exxxxcellent.

Sounds like a great day, Kat, fever and all.
I don't have much in the way of squishables
I've never understood how they can get a good picture of some of the tiny ta-tas I see on some women. Mine can plop on the plate no problem, but some women barely go into three dimensions.
lisah, don't tempt me.
ha! I knew there'd be some takers!
Psychics: Stars not aligned for Palin
Joyce, whose website claims she was "born with the authentic gift of psychic ability," was one of a handful of prominent psychics Politico surveyed to get a better "sense" of how the Palin-Biden matchup might shake out. According to their occult minds, Biden has the edge and, ominously, the moon and stars are not aligned in Palin's favor.
Deanna Fitzpatrick, a Reiki Master from Biden's home state of Delaware, also got the vibes the senator would win. Her psychic instincts tell her that during the debate, Palin "should take some pauses, instead of trying to answer too quickly. I think she's going to struggle at that. I think she's going to have a tendency to grab at things too quick and she just has to take her time."
eta: But really, the entire article is very... informative.

I need to schedule my first one. I know, I know, I should not be foot-dragging slacker girl on this, I should not keep putting it off.
McCain says Obama lead growing because ‘life isn’t fair’
And no, that's not a Wonketter headline. OK, it is - they have this to say:
Let this mark the first time in American History that Wonkette used the exact real-world news headline as the funny comedy news headline.
From the actual article:
(CNN) — Sen. John McCain said Thursday that Sen. Barack Obama’s poll numbers are rising as the economy seems to sink “because life isn’t fair.”
“He certainly did nothing for the first few days,” McCain said Thursday on Fox News. “I suspended my campaign, took our ads down, came back to Washington, met with the House folks and got on the phone, and also had face-to-face meetings.”
But Obama was at one of them...during which JM, "sat silently" while he asked questions..
anyone think Cindy might not be the only one with a secret stash?
