I revised what I said, but it won´t let me edit it on the page — here is what I actually said:

I didn´t say anything about Wonder Woman because that has nothing to do with my current topic. I was only sharing something that had occurred to me, and bothered some people, about Thor. The producers of the movie based it on Stan Lee´s incarnation of the source material, which is why I named him rather than anyone…

Thanks for that. I´m reading now.

I just have to say again ... that is ASTONISHING. I am absolutely baffled by those statistics. Definitely something to keep in mind.

Wow. I had not even considered it from that angle. Thanks to everyone for the advice and sharing of experience. I appreciate you all for taking the time. Thanks for speaking up!

Belief in Asgard and its people, including Thor and Sif, was the basis of a major religion at one point. Regardless of whether people believed in these ideas as a religion, it forms the foundation of the Scandinavian culture to this day. The fact that Stan Lee ripped it off and repackaged it for another audience…

Preachin´ to the choir, sister. Definitely something to think about there. (For myself, I mean! You do whatever is best for you.)

Thanks! Good to know!

Keep posting about your progress every week, even the small things. I would like to know.

Thanks for your input!

This is what is SO tricky to me. I find it so difficult to read and understand some studies, and media bias does not help.

Well, I live outside of the US, so insurance wouldn´t be an issue.

No, I don´t do regular self-exams. I have done them, just not regularly. (Yes, I know). No, there´s no family history ... except one second cousin once-removed who had cancer 30 years ago. I don´t think that´s close enough.

I have not been tested for…

Ok, now I´m really wondering. I´m 31. Should I be getting mammograms? They say early detection is key, but they also say that there is a lot of overdiagnosis of otherwise non-harmful forms of cancer. So it´s better to wait?

Great! I hope it all works out in a good way. Post next Saturday (or whenever) with an update!

In Iceland they also say, 'Hah?' rather than 'Huh?' but the odd thing about it is that it has less of a questioning inflection, and so it can seem rather forceful.

'So I was telling the lady that I prefer my octopus shaved at the market...'
'Hah!'

It look me a while to get used to. It´s almost like they´re laughing in…

Wow. I don´t have anything too awesome to add, just hoping that you´re doing well and can find some peace about this soon. I commend you for finding a therapist to talk to about it, and hope you´ve got a good one. Too many people need someone to talk to, but avoid professionals because they don´t want to be 'that…

Yeah, I agree with FranzK. Why do you assume he´s after a hookup? Maybe it´s what you see because you´re serious about avoiding them.

Ah, those first relationships are like a knife to the heart. Gawd.

My high-school relationship story is similar. I had a boy who was good friends and we cared about each other to the point that everyone just assumed we were dating. Then he came to me and told me, as if it was a joke, that my best friend had given him a…

No, it´s like using the English language to describe changes in Detroit´s land use.

I loved all the stage whispers. Normally I find the lady correspondents better in small doses, but I really enjoyed the whole segment. HE´S NEVER SEEN REAL BOOBS BEFORE! Just great stuff.
