I have the same hardcore phobia. Currently a blood draw for me involves taking a Valium and having my husband sit on me, holding me down with his entire body. A good nurse takes advantage of this and goes for it, a bad nurse tries to wait until I am “ready.” I WILL NEVER BE READY THUS WHY I JUST HAD A TWO HOUR PANIC…

What this story made me think of was this book: Stiff, the Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach that has a chapter that details a class teaching surgery techniques on severed heads, pretty much exactly how you described it. So fascinating!

Me and my husband are about to go feel old on purpose by watching the debate at a local college that is doing a public viewing party. Ought to be fun! I’m bringing popcorn and those snap pea crisps that I get at Trader Joe’s that will be responsible for me dieing of obesity. OM NOM NOM.

I work as a custom picture framer. My nails are a nightmare. I’ve got hangnails and cuts and broken spots and lots of black marker/putty/atg adhesive under them. I’ve got these little slashes from glass and razor blades that have marker IN them, so now I basically have tattooed nails. I like to get gel manicures every…

Actually, it’s SELL, but with a heavy accent.

Hmmm. I’m doing a Velma costume for DragonCon, and I wonder if something like this would be effective and make me stand out in a sea of Velmas? I might have to play with my make up a bit. Tho I wouldn’t do the blue eyeshadow or the falsies with her, but maybe the subtle lines will be neat?

Cheese porn. Mmmm it’s gouda.

And this is why we are taking the train to DragonCon. It’s a lot slower, but we have no parking or baggage fees, and the tickets are way cheaper. I love my Midnight Train to Georgia.

I’ve learned the trick with mine is to preheat it. I just yank the dial around a bit when I get up, and then when I am ready to make toast after showering and stuff, it makes it perfectly. I preheat it for everything now and it is so much happier. Waffles, pizza, leftovers... just give it a heating cycle first and it…

I didn’t know sharing was even an option. We got the Prime account in my name because I did all the Amazon shopping, and the rat husband has the Ebay account. This dichotomy seems to work for us.

I always forget about her Princely spelling style.

Oh Sinead, nothing compares to you.

A few of mine. Sorry, some of images don’t wanna resize! But hero rats are great!

PT is DEFINITELY life changing. I was having pain during sex, and hip pain, and all sorts of pelvic issues and part of it was that I was too tight, and all my muscles were clenched and not releasing properly. My vagina was half its length because of this, which made sex painful as hell. We did internal and external…

We prefer to fuck to MST3K, and so therefore we’ve only fucked to a Johnny Williams score from Land of the Giants.

We didn’t have a disaster, but I did stain my dress when we exchanged first bites. Right on the boob, which, lets be honest here, I’m pretty much all boob. And my wedding photog caught it on film, something we found out later. Note: blue food dye does not come out of yellow silk. EVER. Oops.

I’ve never been on an air force base, so I wouldn’t know. I used to go to air shows with my family as a kid and remember getting to go inside several of the planes. I also grew up climbing all over the Illinois Railway Museum. As an adult I have gone back and a lot of that permissive Museum Kids culture is gone,…

I’m a museum nerd. I’d probably go if I lived near it, regardless of my feelings about Reagan. I love rotating exhibits. We went to see the Titanic exhibit when it rolled into town. I love seeing how the exhibits are put together and planned, as well. I have an abiding desire to go back to school to learn how to do…

That is very true, and very odd, yes. I wasn’t thinking about the place so much as the idea he wasn’t a hero. The Christmas Trees sounded kind of odd, too. Still, seeing some of Captain Sully’s things would be the only impetus for me to visit the Reagan Library. Well... not true. I’d love to climb around Air Force One…

And there was a special heroic slot for Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger who landed in the Hudson River. I’m not sure how to put this, but I was kind of disappointed to see his suit and everything in the heroes section. Yes, he did a fine job landing but I just thought it was out of place. Am I anti-American? Definitely…
