Don't be nervous about the mamm--it's uncomfortable, all right, but only for very short stretches. I find it helps to concentrate on how space-age and complex and cool the machine is, but then I'm a big geek.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I found that the boobie smashing wasn't that bad, but the machine pressing against your sternum hurt like a bitch.

No, this sounds like me. I'm all about - oooh, look at that. How does that work? What does that do? Even so, still kinda nervous. I also feel pathetic in the NGA way.

Can't comment on the mamm (though really, I should get on that) but wisdom teeth removal is not too scary. No fun, for sure, and you'll be tired out and taking some painkillers for a few days, but it usually isn't any worse than that.

“Not dead yet!”
The mamm hurts those of us with less than bountiful boobies because there's not only squishing, there is stretching in order to get enough booby between the plates.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
All right, time for me to go. Y'all have a lovely evening.

Whew. I have completed the one Christmas present I knew what I was doing! (Making a calendar on iPhoto for a friend, which involved scanning a bunch of old pictures and shit). Of course, then I realized I didn't have her address, so had to email her for that, so I haven't actually ORDERED it yet, but...
I'm so bad about shopping and getting Christmas presents. Argh.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Boobie~ma to Suzi.
YAY Sparky and DH! Lucky little Babyfras! That's fantastic, excellent, utterly wonderful news!
Also yay on making it through the sucktastic first trimester. I'm in complete awe of you making a first-trimester teaching trip to Poland. Between the nausea and the constant crushing exhaustion it's a real slog even for a non-world-traveler. I can't believe you went and taught on a whole other continent without just curling up in a ball and never moving again.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Quick drive by to say: Sparky1!!! Congrats! Lucky kid, getting you two as parents.

Mammograms, while uncomfortable and occasionally painful, don't last long - really, it's not that bad.
Wisdom tooth removal again, while painful, doesn't have to be the ordeal that many people make of it (unless the tooth in question is badly impacted).
