One of his questions...do you have to fast for a pap-smear?
Those are the kind of questions you get from a guy who grew up
With 4 brothers and no sisters!

Really? Oh crap. Yeah. Never heard that. I wonder if it can skew results.........
Do not use vaginal douches for at least 3 days prior to your appointment.
Refrain from sexual intercourse for 48 hours prior to your appointment.
Do not use tampons, birth control foams or jellies for 48 hours prior to your appointment.

Hi Circe!
You and I are both consistently slow *sigh*. I will say this - your postings are consistently interesting and well thought-out!

Yes I agree. Your posts are always interesting and enjoyable and congratulations! Personally if my summer had been uneventful I would have been way below the 8K mark. And not that I don't appreciate PS I do but I would much rather have had an uneventful summer and less posts LOL.

So I had my annual appointment at the Gyno last night right, walking down the hall to my little exam room, and my doctor who I love hollers down the hall "Hi Ame! We can really see that baby now!". um. You know I no haz babby in there. You know you're putting another Mirena in me in like 10 days. WHY. WHY WOULD YOU YELL THAT! I think her nurse was like "uh, she's not pregnant" after she got me in the room, bec it never came up again and she acted all weird and animated after that. I mean, she's animated anyway, but still.
Maybe this will be some motivation. My own gynecologist thinks I look pregnant. People rub my stomach all the time, RANDOM PEOPLE, asking me when I am due, and what I am having (it takes me a few minutes sometimes to realize they don't mean what food did you order!)....My regular doctor addressed that I should consider surgical intervention since I've gained and lost the same 50lbs like 5 times in 3 years. Maybe she's right.

They now live an hour from us here in the south & we see them as often as we can. For a reason I can't fathom, they've always been really poor -- Fred had good jobs & Susie worked too but I don't think Fred knew how to negotiate for what he was worth. Now they are in their 60s & 70s & both teaching instead of being retired. Live on tiny salaries & SS, drive a million-yr-old car, inhabit the cutest tiniest cottage in a dump of an old mill town, fear illness because of expense, etc.
Until now. Susie wrote a best seller!! Bound to be, don't you think? Historical novel -- 5 publishers in a bidding war. She said 2 dropped out when the money got too high, gulp. She went with one that was not the most money up front, but offered better % royalties & a good marketing budget. To me, that has "movie rights" written all over it. Not to mention Best Seller. It just sold so won't be out for at least a year, but WOW am I happy for them!!! Nobody has earned it more!!!
Had to get this off my chest. This doesn't happen to real people one knows!
