Talk Healthy

You guys are obviously not familiar with John Madden, or you would know all about turducken.

Marie, I agree with Spudd: just eat lightly at this meal, and then go with Jeff for a real cheat meal.

Annie wrote:Jude Law WAS cute. Then he got into that on-again-off-again with shallow Sienna Miller so I think he just comes off like a schmuck.

Agreed. Plus, he's blond, so he's at a disadvantage with me right away.

Not really my type either (even if he was physically, his cheating totally ruins him for me).

Yay on your iron!!! I only gave blood once and it landed me on the couch for the rest of the day/evening. I was exhausted. My little blood drop from the finger drip only sank a little bit, but they said it was enough for me to donate. Eek! If it only drops a little, or drops and then rises again, t...

Yeah no kidding! I want as many anti-pregnancy vibes as I can get! Jeesh, you guys!

(and actually, I finally called Planned Parenthood today and set up an appointment for an IUD consultation. It's Dec. 6th. )

LB, if it was the Red Cross, they checked your iron before you could donate. They're major sticklers on that one, and their minimum requirement is higher than even the low end of the normal range. I think their minimum is 38%, and normal for women is something like 36-45%. That's crazy about almost ...

So I gave blood just a couple of hours ago. I was afraid I'd get deferred for low iron (it's happened before plenty), because it's TOM. Not only did I pass, but the drop of blood actually fell to the bottom of the copper sulfate solution! That hasn't happened in about 3 years. They ALWAYS have to ce...

Oh my. I can't even begin to figure out who's been discussed and who hasn't. I'll just answer for myself. SO= Jason Cats= Jack (who does indeed pee on blinds) and Kira Mom & Dad= Mary and Wayne I think that covers it. Oh, and I think I noticed that someone didn't know Aimie's SO's name. It's Joe...

"squidgle"?

I hope you can fix your keyboard, Crystal!

Samuel L. Jackson, and "Snakes on a Plane" is a summer movie that is literally about snakes on a plane. Fuh-reaky! Plus, it bugs me that they aren't releasing it to critics before it hits theaters.

Annie. You crack me up!

I'm with Crystal...no SOAP for this chick!

Yes, Sharpies! The retractable ones, even.

So J's company is a reseller (resaler?) of office supplies. They mainly sell to college bookstores. Every year they have an employee sale, where employees can go get cheap stuff. Yesterday was the main day, when a standard paper grocery bag full of stuff cost $5. Today they had it again, with a whol...

J and I are Game Show Network freaks lately. We really like Lingo, and there's a new one called Chain Reaction that's cool too. I think we watch GSN more than any other network!

Poor Cary!! It must be almost his worst nightmare. I don't even know why we have the open-door thing...I've never had it like that with my family or anyone before, but Jason and I have done it almost since day one. It's weird, I guess, but it's working fine for us!

Rachael wrote: My sister leaves the door open when she uses the bathroom at our house, though!

See, now that would weird me out. If we have any company, the door gets closed firmly. If Cary's so private about that, how does he handle your sister?

Luke usually is in there for 5-10 minutes tops. It doesn't take him an unusually long time. However, he totally refuses to poop anywhere except our bathroom. We could be across the bay at IKEA or something and he'll hold it for 2 hours. All the while getting increasingly more impatient and tense. B...

I read it back in high school and loved it. I think I reread it maybe 2-3 years ago and loved it. I even wrote my senior paper in AP English about it! I haven't seen the movie yet, but I would love to...even though I know that it won't compare to the book.

Nope, I don't see theirs. That's weird!

ICK!!! That is so nasty! I bet they'll send you lots of free chocolate now, though.
