[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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
When I was a kid we had mulberry trees in the yard and sometimes the berries would ferment, the birds would get loaded, and my folks would have to keep the cats inside for a couple of days to prevent songbird carnage.
The same thing happened with the mountain ashes we had when I was a kid (and with the cat).
Ugh, GC. Well, I'm glad it's over, anyway.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I asked my co-worker if she'd heard about the stoned wallabies.
"Is that a band?" she asked.

When do they recommend women get amnios? After 35?
Yeah. Lots of people don't do it, but we want to know if there are any problems.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm glad it is over, GC. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. The whole thing just turns my stomach.
They wanted me to get an amnio but I refused. Told them it wouldn't make any difference in how I proceeded, so why bother. They could take all the blood they wanted. Also, chickenshit. I wouldn't have an epidural for the same reason. Big needle phobic. I've learned to deal with blood draws, but that's it. Don't suggest an IV to me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
When do they recommend women get amnios? After 35?
Well. I'd recommend you wait until you're pregnant, at least.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I had the amnio both times GC and found it a relief, but then again, I got good news both times. I recommend watching the U/S screen rather than the needle. Baby tv!
Depending on where you live GC I would recommend my OB practice. I really like the U/S technician.

The appointment is over and I'm glad. I hated his office (would have even w/o the gay thing hanging over it). The nurse wouldn't leave the room when I got changed, he and his nurse had zero bedside manner, they never addressed DW once (hell, they barely addressed me)
GC, I second (third) the urge to talk to your doctor about this. Politics aside, his office was unfriendly and unprofessional. The nurse not leaving the room is of particular concern to me.

Wouldn't leave while you changed? That's crazy! Be sure and review this guy honestly wherever you can - your insurance company's website, to your actual doctor, anywhere else you can think of.
