I think I read that somewhere- if I'm wrong I'm wrong- if I'm right that he's done more decent things than the current prime minister of the UK and he's not as annoying as the last one! Nope, declawing is still legal in California. A small city, West Hollywood, in California, *did* make declawing illegal in that city only. (Not to be confused with Hollywood, which is nearby but is an entirely different city.) But Arnold had nothing to do with it. -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

As my husband said when he became insulin resistant, "Life just sucks sometimes" and the rest of the time it, well never mind. Anytime you need to unload, do so and it doesn't matter how bad anyone else is, there is always room for a bit more on our shoulders. That's what friends are for, even crazy cat friends. You couldn't have said it better, my friend. :~) kili |

Last week my GP sent me one of those letters about their upgrading their computer system and as they haven't seen me for a while if I don't reply they'll assume I don't want to be on their books anymore (They did once send me a letter that actually read "Dear Ms Madigan, According to our records you have not contacted this practice since 2001, if you have moved from the area or died would you please advise us of this fact" Wow. (I was going to say more, but I think "wow" says enough.) I might be the only woman in the world who is not at all bothered by mammograms. Not to say I enjoy them or anything. But I don't find them in the least bit painful. I remember the first time I had one, I had prepared myself psychologically for agony, after all I'd heard about them. And it was nothing! Just a minor inconvenience. Here's a related amusing quip: Who ever thought up the word "mammogram"? Every time I hear it, I think I'm supposed to put my breast in an envelope and send it to someone. -- Jan King I have no idea who Jan King is, but I'd like to! -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

IMO the governator is much worse than those two. And as far as I can see, much worse than his predecessor Gray Davis. Gray Davis: Enron's bitch. OK, he might not have been the state's most wonderful governor (and his personality was perfectly matched to his first name), but he certainly did not deserve what happened to him. (Sorry to those who don't know or care about California politics - I'm too lazy to explain the whole story right now. Maybe another time, or maybe someone else feels like giving the short version? Or, maybe you're not missing anything by not knowing anyway?) -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

How can you not mind a mammogram!! Like laying down in a drive way and
letting someone back over your boob and sitting there and saying "Take a deep breath". What's not to love. wrote in message ...

LOL, they're not bad at all. Honestly. Take a deep breath, we'll squeeze your breast (I'm sure your husband has squeezed harder), and you're done! It's simple. kili |

Some people are lucky they don't hurt. My boobs have been extremely tender since I was a teenager. Even the gentle spray from a shower hurts. I can't even lie on my stomach. But I do get mammos regularly in view of my past, er, problems. Bobble |

wow, hope you're doing much better. I had something similar happen to me years ago, which turned out to be a gall bladder attack. I thought I was having a heart attack! I did have to have my gall bladder removed and thank goodness the laparoscopy type operations were starting then. I was in and out of the hospital in a couple of days instead of the weeks of hospitalization that most gall bladder operations required up to then. Good luck! Gall stones was my first thought as well, can be excruciating. Easy thing for a Doctor to check, quick ultrasound. -- Nik Simpson |

I do get a giggle out of the ones here at the army hospital. They call one's breasts "the girls." Poor Rob tried to follow me into the mammogram suite and was turned out. I apologized and explained to the receptionist why Rob was so intent on helping me and she went out and gently explained to him that no males, no matter how cute, are allowed into the mammogram suite. He thought she was great calling him cute and didn't mind as much after that. Pam S. |
