'Safe'
[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.
Thanks. I never got to meet her, but it really drives home to me that genetic-testing for the breast cancer gene should really be done more often than it is and the BS that could make it fall under "pre-existing condition" needs to go away. If it exists, which I am unsure that it does. I've only ever heard one anecdotal story about an insurance cmpany denying benefits because of it.
Happy Seder!!
OK, I am either brilliant or crazy. I've got a few hair things -- leave-in conditioner, gel, and so on -- that I only use a little bit of, and couldn't find travel-size containers for. I just put them from the big bottles into some spare contact lens cases, which then went into my one-quart plastic bag for airport security. (Now I just need to remember, red case is for eyes, blue and white cases are NOT for eyes.)
Yeah... I'd need to Sharpie a big black "X" on the hair product containers or there would be bad consequences.
Well, even in morning fog, I think I'd realize the difference in feel between a contact solution and leave-in conditioner.
I have mixed feelings about testing for BRCA gene. Only about 10 percent of breast cancers are caused by gene abnormalities, although gene abnormalities are behind about a quarter of breast cancers in women under 35. I think women of Ashkenazi and African descent and those who have had several female-organ cancers in the family should be counseled to have the test, but I'm afraid widespread testing would give a false sense of security, plus cost a lot. I think the most important thing is drum the message that young women can get breast cancer.
That's very clever.
Sad for Aims's cousin's partner's sister. What a cruel turn of events.

And, God, Aims. That's awful. I'm sorry. I monitor drug safety on breast cancer trials, and I always hate it when I come across a patient so young.
How awful, Aims. So sad and unfair.
Facebook question - if you defriend someone, do your updates still show up in their feed?
I think they stop getting your updates, but they don't get any kind of "you've been dissed" message. From their POV, you've just gone really gray.
