Yeah groupthink changes at the blink of an eye. I just happen to catch it, I was hoping someone would promote it on the main page.

I saw something about it in groupthink.

Exactly, I was reading another comment on an article that if a Hispanic or Black applicant made it to the interview process (the boss would throw out any name that "sounded" black or hispanic) that the boss would say "no" to the interviewer despite the qualifications and how the interview went for the person applying…

mag teaches "sexy" ways for a woman to put a condom on a man's penis.

Oh lol ok. I cannot tell, I usually read everything full of snark.

What also bothers me is that when some white people "act ghetto" they think it means to "act black". Some white people think all of Black culture is 'ghetto'. Black people have to deal with black culture being under attack often and now when a white woman wants to be in 'black culture' (more like black stereotypes but…

What you are talking about is more assimilation. To try to be a part of a dominant culture is assimilation not appropriation. You cannot compare whiteness to blackness.

Tyrone is actually Irish:

If you do not mind me asking. If I do have HPV do I need to take medications for it or does it clear up on its own?

Well a woman who went to my church died from ovarian cancer. She did not have any history of it in her family and she was monogamous marriage for over 40 years. She stopped getting pap smears years ago. They discovered her cancer very late and she died about a few months of discovering it.

I am guessing my doctor was not concerned? I didn't even realize my cells were abnormal the previous year until he told me on my recent visit. I also have not been sexually active in a few years so I am guessing my doctor took that into account?

My doctor cannot tell me anything, I have to wait two weeks for any news. That is why I am asking people (while I wait) what they have dealt with. It is comforting to me.

Thanks! I appreciate it. I am just not used to health scares, this is probably the most serious health issue (or false alarm) I have had. I completely agree the procedure (if I need it) is not my problem. I hate waiting for results.

However I haven't sexually active in years? So can abnormal cells still form years after sex has stopped?

Yes, it does not protect against all strains and a woman can still get cervical cancer even with the vaccine.

See this is my fear, I haven't gotten the HPV vaccine (but I haven't had sex in years) so I feel it could be HPV.

"atypical squamous calls of undetermined significance," or ASCUS

Thank you for your response! Very helpful. I just want to hope for the best but prepare for the worse. This is the extra push I need to finally figure out how I can get the HPV shot. I go back and forth to two different cities often and have been in between physicians that I am afraid of missing all my shots (or not…

So I went to the gyno Wednesday and had a normal check up. When I sat down to talk to my gyno, he told me that my pap smear last year I had abnormal cells on my cervix (he said that the result showed that the cells or abnormal but unknown, I forgot the word he used). Next he proceeded to tell me that this year pap…

People do not want to admit that racism exist, especially in subtle ways. If the person is not shouting racial slurs or openly saying hateful things, then for some people there is room to argue other reasons for mistreatment despite the fact they do not add up. I bet even if the woman realize Oprah was rich she still…
