We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

fair warning, from the sampling here, lots of your co-workers, totally uncomfortable with it.

Wouldn't most sexual harassment policies have a problem with it too?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Isn't Jack Black getting a mammogram part of the same ad campaign? Strange, to be sure, but I find them refreshing after the string of jewelry ads that just piss me off.

Theatre people can be huggy. It doesn't bother me, but I rarely initiate it. I only feel weird when students want to hug on me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I had a great PCP who took care of the pap stuff, but he left me. I don't want a new PCP. Big sigh.

And Kristen, you have me wondering if it's mammogram time again. I trust that my coverage is good, if I stay in network. And since I'm on contract, I should get this taken care of now, huh?

Man, I hate health. Also, insurance.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I know the conversation has moved on , but in high school I was involved wit a group of friends that wrote Bay city Roller fanfic.

DH is now vaguely afraid.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I like health. I get annoyed that I have to do stuff to maintain and improve it. Tiresome.

I blew off my mammogram this year because I got annoyed with my PCP for saying I needed one in February when I had just had one in October and I'm supposed to be getting one a year. So, I'll get one early in 2010 to try to avoid that particular annoyance recurring. Easier to have the insurance freshly renewed when I get all my tests run, somehow.

Oooh, look. [link]

I can't even think about medical tests until I either get a job that provides insurance or some kind of reform is passed.

Yes, yes! Go, go!

My mother's recent diagnosis -- thanks entirely to a mammogram -- has made me an advocate.

I will be good and schedule these things for the new year. I'll even get off my duff and find a PCP. Oy.

Why does Target have an NCIS:LA forced bromance ad? Whuhuh? When did bromance become so trendy?

Bromance is way trendy. There was even a movie about it this past summer, with Jason Segal and that other guy. Y'know, that one from...um....Clueless!

My mom got diagnosed on her first mammogram at 41. (Note: she is now 63 and perfectly fine!) SO GO!
