From their POV, you've just gone really gray.
Ah, perfect. Thanks.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Facebook requires mutual friending, so if you defriend someone, you're defriended by them as well. But they won't know until one day you show up in their People You May Know.

That's fine - I'm just trimming my flist of all the people in it I don't know.

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.
What Ginger said here.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Yeah. I get that. And totally agree. As I said to my mom, "Glad I feel myself up once a month."

Ann, that's a ferret.

Both of Hubs's parents died of cancer. He hasn't gone through any kind of genetic screening, but he started those once-you're-50 tests for cancer quite some time ago. And he isn't 50 yet.

The status is NOT quo.
{{{{{Perkins}}}} I'm so sorry for the choice you had to make and for the loss of your beloved kitty.
It's been at least 5 years since the last time I had to sing the Four Questions.
Okay, did anyone else go to a Holy Grail place here, or is it just me? "What...is your name?" "What...is your quest?" "What...is your favorite color?" Okay, so only three questions, but it made me giggle.
And yeah, cancer can bite me. Still waiting to find out what the next stage in Dad's cancer treatment is going to be. He's recovering really slowly from the operation, but eventually he's going to have to consider radiation or chemo to get rid of what remained. Feh.

I am SO teaching Dylan to ask the Four Questions in this voice next year.

{{Perkins}} I'm so sorry. It is such a tough choice to make. I'm glad you had each other in your lives.

So sorry, Perkins. It's always sudden.
