sumi, I'm sorry, I must have been misremembering. You saw a place you liked, right? Have you seen any others?
meara, I meant to say earlier, I'm crossing my fingers for you that it's nothing to worry about!
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Gah, I did, too. Sorry for the self-absorption. My OB/GYN said that, like you mentioned, when women are in their 40s, breast tissue is so dense that mammogram results can be confusing. Fingers crossed that you just have dense, confusing boobs!

Always Anti-fascist!
And if they know about your mother(?) maybe they want to make extra sure. But I don't blame you for worrying a little. I have no idea how I'll get that done...it's really hard to find accessible mammo equipment.

meara, I somehow managed to miss your post. Tons of it's-nothing~ma headed your way.

Because books.
Same here, meara.
Steph, you could always have a co-ed engagement party instead of a shower if you're getting pressure to have something.

This seems to be popular lately. I've seen them called Jack and Jill parties for unknown reasons. Replacing both the bridal shower and the bachelor party things.
Although it was my 3rd wedding and his 1st, and we had a well established household with plenty of toasters and blenders, we still did the registry thing and got lots of cool gifts. We were equally ok with gifts to charities in our name or with people that came to celebrate with us not bearing gifts.
Whatever works for the bride and groom. (someday I will bore you with the horror of my 2nd maid of honor) It is easy for me to say enjoy the whole thing and let the unwelcome suggestions roll off without a thought. But really try and not let the crazies get to you and try to focus on the joy of getting married to someone that loves you and wants to marry you!

Mmmm, wedding cake! nom nom nom. Sorry I can't offer more practical advice beyond that. All the options sound yummy to me.
that...makes me feel like this is rather more urgent than I had hoped it was. If you know what I mean. Grrr.
I'm guessing it's most likely the dense breast tissue thing. That's happened to me before, and as with you they scheduled my follow-up for the soonest day possible.

I finally get to actualize my total lack of understanding why wedding parties exist. Unless Tim really wants a best man, in which case I'll probably rustle up my brother to be Bro of Honor. Although I was going to ask him if he'd get ordained online and marry us. (Of course, if he doesn't want to, then I'm back to looking for a Batman.)
