QUOTE (Unattractive Truth @ Jan 7 2012, 10:45 AM) Love it.
Sheldon is my hero.
"Why did the chicken cross the Mobius strip? To get to the same side. BAZINGA!"
His relationship with Amy is priceless. I hope they do something good with that.
I just saw the Wolowitz Space Toilet episode in syndication.
"I thought toilet humor would get less funny with repetition, but I guess there's no law of diminishing comic returns on space poop...."
Good stuff!yeah the Wolowitz toilet episode was pretty funny. It was on here as well this week.
I think something is moving on the Amy/Sheldon front, according to this week's episode
.I'll just have to wait and see if I'm right.

It's in reruns here, 2,back to back, every night.
I watch it while eating dinner and try not to spit my food out laughing.
On Thursdays I get a triple treat: the new episode airs.
This is the funniest show on television!

QUOTE (liddybuck01 @ Jan 7 2012, 08:34 AM) if you buy $60 worth of merch, you get one. so the person who bought it got ripped off big time. i hope they feel stupid. and according to Brutus, Neil has agreed to sign more. So the merchandise deal will be available again soon, from the man himself.

They were also part of a merchandise promotion.
Which may return.

QUOTE (sullysue @ Jan 3 2012, 09:16 PM) QUOTE (Oracle @ Jan 3 2012, 08:22 PM) Thank you everyone for your condolences. We've been basically living through our telephone and have been getting calls from a lot of people. We've asked that everyone make a contribution to the Susan G. Koman foundation since my grandmother was a two time survivor of breast cancer (though it ultimately got her in the end). So if any of you have some spare money, even just a dollar, please donate it.
@nettie - There's literally nothing scheduled for me to do. I'm going through my regular mourning phase and pretty much secluding myself from friends for a while. It's what I did last year when my aunt just suddenly died at 39. I've been asked for everything from what I want from her personal items to when we bury her. I've screamed and fought and cried so much since Sunday that I have no other options. It feels like I'm right up against a wall and people just don't care.I'll make a donation in your grandmother's honor.
In the meantime, maybe telling your family that this is all too much for you to handle on your own would be a good idea. I don't know any of the dynamics of what's going on, but it's pretty unreasonable to ask you to make such huge decisions and seemingly all at once. You'll be in my thoughts.
I agree with Sullysue. This is too much for a person your age to handle. You need to tell them, and more hugs to you. It's a difficult enough time as it is.

And that means your grandmother died... I wish I knew what to say.
Do you have something coming up that they want to make sure you get to do?
That may be why they are asking. If you really don't care when, that you think this is more important, let them know.
and
for you on the loss of your grandmother. -

I went with the blood draw method but I guess there's another method where you rinse your mouth and spit.
Should have test results back around Jan. 9th. I was tested for breast, ovarian and colon cancer.Good luck, Janie.
I plan on looking into genetic testing when I'm older, as well. It's better safe than sorry, as they say. You never know, especially with the many medical conditions in my family.
I'm not entirely too sure when I'm supposed to have mine done. I've read conflicting reports from the medical profession that some women are supposed to have them done from the age of 50, of which I've got 10 years left to wait, or from 40, which I'm that age now, and it was said that it was revised to 40. I guess what I should do, is next time I go to my doctor, I'll ask her.
Definitely. I think most doctor's these days start recommending mammograms around the age of 35-40. I would get one done sooner rather than later. Other than my mom, there was no other family member diagnosed with breast cancer. She had a large tumor by the age of 50 which means she had breast cancer well before her 50th birthday.
It's always better to be safe than sorry. Besides, a mammogram really doesn't take long and even though the process can be uncomfortable, it only lasts for a few seconds.
You are supposed to get a baseline done at 40, before if there is a family history of breast or ovarian cancers. So I would contact my doctor and insurance company, find out the procedure, and get one done!
There's never been a family history of cancer (breast or ovarian), so that rules that out. Maybe I'm panicking a little.
I've also read from women that those nurses sort of ram you into the x-ray machine, causing bruises.
Is there a place that is certified to do mammograms in your area? My clinic is very good, and the tech does not do compressions that bruise, and minimize the pain,but they are specially trained and nationally certified. Also, take some advil or tylenol before you go! I wish someone had told me that before my first one! It really helped the second time. but don't let fear keep you away. The time is now to get a baseline, so they can tell what is normal, if you should have problems later.

What made my day today is not nearly as cute as that^^^^.
But having a doctor who actually knows what he's doing is good!

How did I miss this one?
Happy Anniversary Lerxster!

The feel from rushisaband is a spring release and summer tour. I would think that would mean South America after a break, like the first Time Machine leg, and Europe the year after....but that's just me and my humble opinion.

I like your name btw it sounds like the Loch Ness Monster's twin sister...
Good thing that I'm not in Scotland then, eh?

Happy Anniversary Missionman!

Why, thank you everyone!
4 years already? Where does the time go?

Honey, don't worry. I didn't spend money to tell everyone about you on a stupid city bus!

Oh. My. Goodness.
Thunk.
That is a great picture of Al!

In those older photos, he bears a striking resemblance to Lerxst with long hair.

Well, it is possible that he felt he had to explain the Christmas tree, dinner, presents, etc., seeing as we know he doesn't follow a christian belief system.
