Thought it might be fun to make a list of things that render an active, fun-loving thread... well, Dead.

I was reading the other day and I saw for the ka-zillionth time or so where some well meaning newbie jumped into a lively discussion to ask the question. You know the one... "What is a PB?"

Don't get me wrong, I am sure I did it too. Well maybe, I sure hope not.

What can someone post that will make you shut it down and walk away?

Am I the only one that feels SORRY for the fish?

Are those mammograms really painful?

Give us your best guess. :paranoid

I did try it... once.

Not sure I'd do it again.

It's barbaric and cruel and owie.:think

What if their already flat? Gosh, it does look painful. I wonder if I can get some pain meds before I go? I am a mammogram virgin.

Ok, I am a DD, I had a mamogram 2 years ago for what I thought was a lump.. it was just fat.

But any way. It didnt hurt. Granted it wasnt comfortable. I kept waiting for that car on my boob feeling and it never happened.

GET YOUR MAMOGRAMS PEOPLE!!!!!

The first person to invent the comfy mamogram will be a billionairre.

I have to say, I want to hear zero complaints. Yes, women have pap smears, yes they have mamograms. Yes, they do have childbirth.

I'm trotting towards a time when I'll have to go for regular PROSTATE checks.

SHUDDER

I know, I know. Your right. I have the paper from my doc in my purse to get one.

On another note, would you believe I've never been to Vegas? Have YOU been to Vegas? Don't get me wrong, I would love to go. Just have had the opportunity. Maybe I'll go for the Vegas bash thingy.

Everyone should go to Vegas at least once. It's a wonderfully exciting place with so much to do and see. Be prepared for the heat if you go in the summer though. Man it gets hot there!

Something that will always stick in my mind about Vegas is the rooftops of all the houses are the same. Well, they look the same to me. All that red clay tile stuff. And the streets were all lined with cinderblock walls that had that same pinkish stucco look as the houses did. To me, the only color was in the night lights. The last time we went there, we had a blast watching the mini shows they put on out in front of the big hotels. Amazing stuff. We were there with 11 other families on a mission trip with YWAM (Youth With a Mission) so we didnt really enjoy any of the gambling and drinking. hehe We stayed in a church, all of us slept on the floor of the church by night, worked in the community by day, put on presentations at night. It was only one stop on the month long trip. Very dear memories.

You should go if you get the chance.

Everyone should also ALWAYS get a yearly mammogram - the 'base' mammogram is VERY important (by age 40 if not sooner depending on your family history) -- go every year - they won't kill you - yes I have heard some people bruise - but I don't - us well-endowed ladies usually have the least amount of issues -- go ladies - it's that or you might find out too late - who wants to die from cancer when there is a way to catch it early?

did the thought of the big "C" kill the thread?

Now is a good time to share a picture of my grandson who spent last weekend with us. He always has a great time at Gram's house.

Having a drug addict/alcoholic grandma has its perks.

Okay 3loves, I graduate with my Psychology degree in May...please do not call yourself psycho until I am certified to verify! lol

This thread is a blast...do you 'reckon I can get away without doing the rest of my homework tonight if I take the funny thread to my not so funny professor? lol

Oh, I have had a mammogram when I was skinny and when I was ummmm not so skinny...the one when I was scrawny hurt worse, but I would still never skip 'em. Good luck!

Maybe I'm not really psycho. Maybe everyone else is. Hmmm. Here's my before pic. OK, I'll let you be the judge.

I am definitely getting my mammogram by the end of Sept. I am making a commitment. We do have breast cancer on both sides of my family. It is a very scary thing. Gosh, I hope I don't bruise. I guess it can't be worse than a baby biting your nipple. :omg:

lol P'Nut - you are so silly - cracking me up girl!

OK... OK...

I go away for a few hours and this happens?!?!?

I'll P'get you P'nut for P'doing the P'icture of me...

Now, to plan the devious conter attack... and she'll be gone all weekend too!

Hmmmmm.....

Bring it on Biotch (Telly, I'm still not sure if I am using this right, and it sounds stupid when I say it aloud... people keep walking by my office and staring...)

This means WAR!

heh heh heh

Does the threat of war kill the thread?

That mammogram machine looks like a sewing foot to me! At first I thought it was a spoof photo of a breast lift

Nana~
