scowly - someone was going to have a recent experience; you are the winner! Your NBD review helps, thanks!

Sounds like the same thing. 

If they’re running late and I’m feeling pressure, I’ll be sure to let them know. Words work!

Thanks for your suggestion about beverage consumption. Inconveniently I often forget that appointments don’t always occur as scheduled.

That the TV procedure is medically indicated and recommended is an excellent point. Thanks!

It’s hard to tell but the procedure is the focus of my question, not so much the possible condition. Any and all tips or insight welcome!

Thanks. Very little that’s medical fits in the “most fun I’ve ever had” category, no? When I booked the appointment, I was given suggestions about when to drink water and how much. I have one superpower: ability last hours between pee breaks so I want to test a little this week to make sure I’ve got the timing right.

Maybe SIL can present her account that would eliminate X’s access. Best of luck!

Not a lawyer, family law or other practice area. Where I live, sometimes non-custodial parents, usually those with history of violence and/or neglect, only have access through supervised visitation. Might that be an option for your nephew and X?

Healthcare question: Anyone been screened for endometrial hyperplasia? My doc has referred me because I’m “of an age” and still menstruating.

The first time I had a mammogram I had the feeling that my breasts were being handled like pieces of meat. Aside from that weird feeling, I experienced only mild discomfort.

People who predominantly eat prepared foods and takeout.

It’s gerrymandering using the areas where people self-segregate or are segregated. If you look at electoral districts in other countries, they are almost always blocks of territory rather than shapes that look like a dog’s leg connected to a chicken’s foot by a cat’s whisker.

I want the verbatim transcript of THAT meeting.

How the fuck is this woman with no expertise or experience other than bearing the loin fruit of a politician’s loin fruit a commentator on anything other than how to marry the seemingly rich?

He was just a boy, not listening to a girl, wanting the other boys to like him.

The media conference offered up 2019's (first) “The Emperor has no clothes” moment. Someone needs to encourage the bright kid who said “That’s weird” to follow up on her/his instinct and intuition and to teach him/her investigative questioning.

*Some* of the thinking around the VAWA was benevolant sexism too. Certainly all the post-enactment victory laps by male legislators were.

Canadians are sorta French? How familiar are you with the country?
