Juliebird the only practical thing I can think of is go to a board meeting to 'learn more about the organization'if possible. this could give you a better feel for knowing if you can push things up the chain. ( but I would go with some prepared things to say if asked - about plants or access)
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Cash, I think Rachel Maddow is hot.
I KNOW! So do I! I'm pretty sure his political bent is right but he's not stupid--he's a pediatric neurosurgeon. He just doesn't get the appeal of her cockeyed smile. Which I find charming.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Me too!

I am looking at those yoga poses and all I can think is, "Would I have to *hold* them?" and "Ouch."
Good vibes on the surgery, Kathy.
Y'all are reminding me I need to schedule my mammo too. I suggested to my internist that every other year was probably enough for me, but she kinda shrugged and went with every year. Can't hurt, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Work call in seven. Then I can shut off brane. Hurry! Everything's been going as smoothly as silk.
I should get a fucking GP. And then a physical. And then the girly bits looked at. Oy.

I have GP issues. I like mine well enough, but really not that much. And thankfully I don't need much GP right now. I like Grace's GP much better but I think it's because I've bullied him. I love my OBGYN who can't be my GP but for all intents and purposes is as I see her every year.
Oy. Jeez. I have to feed Grace one more tube of food then BED FOR ME.

Also, note to Noah's preschool. I get WHY you don't want kids at Back to School night. But this is a required parent meeting and you want me to bring potluck AND no kids are allowed? After work work on a Monday? WTF?!

I'm pretty sure it hurts. Which is why I haven't done it. I worry that the amount of valium I'll need to take to not freak out while a giant machine flattens some precious portion of my anatomy is also an amount that will make it difficult for me to remain standing during said procedure. Then I think about fainting while my tit is in the crusher, and then I have to stop thinking.

Why can't your OBGYN be your GP? Esp if you like her.
Our school has kids come to Back to School Night and it's a bit of a clusterfuck of chaos. I don't think any meaningful info can be conveyed in that environment. That said, the kids think it's a blast.
I'm pretty sure it hurts.
Oh, well now that you mention it, it is a bit awkward and uncomfortable. I wouldn't go so far as to say it hurts.

I don't have a GP. Problem. But I have a dentist, damnit.
Oh HAI big RAT setting off my neighbor's motion detector lights! You are large, and oddly, Loki missed you completely. Do not live in my garage, please. Gah, need to open that up someday.
