Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

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

And a -ma request, because Husband is at his third interview for a job he'd really like (the job that brought us to Dallas having turned out...not super). So if you guys could vibe him to success, that would be great.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Makeup: recommend an appropriate concealer or BB cream for an about to be 14 year old with age-appropriate acne who doesn't wear makeup regularly and whose mother is clueless about this stuff. Bonus points for not spendy.

Nyx BB cream or Gotcha Covered concealer. NYX is one of the best drugstore brands out there, and their quality is on par with or better than MAC.

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

Job~ma for tommyrot and Dana's DH!

I'm rather claustrophobic* but MRIs don't bother me. At least the one I had done didn't. It was open at head and feet, is that an "open" MRI?

'*(which I discovered while caving, crawling in a narrow tunnel under an obviously suspended giant rock, not the best moment)** (I made it out without serious incident thank the asthma med gods)

'**when did I become the adventurous one who will do honestly anything that doesn't look immediately deadly? (as long as it doesn't involve water. I don't swim) this is not how I think of myself

No, an open MRI is also open at the side.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

which I discovered while caving, crawling in a narrow tunnel under an obviously suspended giant rock, not the best moment

That general situation is when I realized I'm not at all claustrophobic, although I really should have known. I love cozy spaces! By which I mean, when I was a kid, I would hang out in the space between the dishwasher and the counter.

Job-ma to tommyrot and to Dana's husband!

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

One of my brothers is pretty severely claustrophobic, but I like cozy little dens. When I was a kid, I'd climb up onto a shelf in my closet with a pillow and read in there.

I wish I could have done that!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

When I was a kid, I'd climb up onto a shelf in my closet with a pillow and read in there.

That made me remember something I hadn't thought about in decades. We had an old buffet that had a square open area on the bottom--maybe 2' x 2'-- and I used to crawl inside that space all the time to hang out. (I think I was too young to read back then.)

So, have either of you had an MRI, and how did you take it?
