Dear OB/Gyn:
I curse you for listening to all the "data" which says that I, as a 41 year old woman, do not have the right to choose to have my uterus removed. I'm sure there's some logic behind your wanting to keep me miserable, but you have yet to give me a valid reason to keep the unused (and unaccessable due to the tubal ligation) organ.

Dear Self:
Next time you're aware that Aunt Flo is expected for an immanent visit, PLEASE remember to reload muscle relaxers in your purse. A rusty spoon is an unnecessary (and messy) alternative.

No love,

Have you looked into endometrial ablation?

I had serious issues with Aunt Flo too. It got to the point where I was having periods three weeks out of the month and they were painful, not to mention exhausting.

At any rate, I had the surgery in February and things have been pretty good for me. If anything, I now have a couple of days of light spotting and then it's over. Such a nice change...

Guess what. All the women in my life and pretty much most of the men sound exactly alike on the phone. Especially if you're calling on a cell phone. Are you my sister? My boss? A friend? Which friend?

I don't know who the fuck "me" is until way too long into the phone call, ok? It's embarassing and stressful for me. And frankly, it's kinda rude on your part.

What do you live in 1975 or something? Don't you have caller ID?

I've turned the water off in our house before to change out a toilet - it takes about five seconds. I'm with Kaio - it doesn't need to go off until you're actually removing the old water heater.

Qur'an. Not Qu'ran. If you can't figure out where the apostrophe goes, just spell it Koran.

So, in the course of searching for better fares I see that there is a 1-stop fare from Greensboro, NC (about 85 miles from me) to Harrisburg for $350.

Where's the 1 stop? Yep, Charlotte! As a matter of fact the 2nd leg of the flight is the same one I'd be taking if I went non-stop.

So essentially, I could save $600 by driving to Greensboro, flying back to my home town of Charlotte, and then on to Harrisburg.

This is all on US Air, and Charlotte is their hub, blah blah blah. It's still ridiculous.

I bet it's because they assume all the travelers from Charlotte are banker types traveling last minute that are charging the fare back to their companies via expense accounts. And the schmos from Greensboro are just regular schmos chosing by price and can go anytime.

(I know and love schmos from Greensboro btw.)

That took a while to read. I'm now hungry and need a sAmmich.

Holy cow, SurrenderDorothy, that's outrageous! I would very, very seriously consider dumping this friend. That is very disrespectful and insensitive on her part. All of it, but most egregiously changing the wedding to a destination wedding after you've agreed to be a bridesmaid.

I'll jump on the "cut your losses" train - socialize with this woman any time it's convenient for *you*, but don't change your life for someone who obviously doesn't care about inconveniencing other people. Life is so much better once you stop trying to tie yourself in knots for other people.
