I have no clue what that is but yay not cancer!

t Cliff Clavin Fibroadenoma is the most common benign breast tumor, and it's just made up of breast tissue and connective tissue. Hormones are usually responsible for the formation, but I don't know how. t /Cliff Clavin

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Steph, that ought to be something like a Bill Nye voice. Like, Science with Steph!

I follow someone on Tumblr who recently started posting a spate of photographs, which are all lovely, but I have no idea who this person is or why I followed them. (It is not Tom Scola. I know why I followed him.)

Yay, Sophia!

I would watch Science with Steph!

I may need to leave the office early and go work from home, because there is a dude who is so congested his nose is whistling. If he doesn't take his whistlesnorting elsewhere, I will need to remove myself before I cut someone.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Congrats, Scrappy!

Yay, Sophia!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yay, Sophia!

I support both the Nye and the Clavin explanation of fibroedonoma(e?), and Science with Steph.

I have great sympathy with those of you dealing with pain. I was woken from a sound sleep twice in one night recently, after a couple of weeks playing fast and loose with pasta, crackers, bread, and rice. Having hobbled to the kitchen and consigned all such things to the "husband and guests only" shelf, I am once more reminded to be more vigilantly aware of what the hell I eat.

Consciously deciding to accept next-day achiness in exchange for a small slice of cake is one thing. Being reduced to tears trying to move after eating all the bread is entirely another.

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

Hooray for healthy Sophia!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I predict when I get the bill, I will be in here complaining about it! Please remind me that I am glad it is not cancer!!

I firmly believe you can be glad it's not cancer and still annoyed by our health care system. Because it sucks.
