The best part of questionable hearing - is when an otherwise mundane conversation takes on the fantastic.

"Pika Pika" she said, while giving a discussion about safety.

Alex looks around cautiously, thinking to himself, "Did anyone else hear that? No?"

@mentallyalex Hubs has hearing loss (and hearing aids). He’ll often share what he heard and they’ve become family jokes.

The Tale of Two Gynecologists

This is a bit long, and I've talked about this a lot lately, but it's something I'm thinking about a lot in the wake of so much hatred of female Healthcare. When my female troubles got bad enough that I finally talked to my doctor about it, he referred me to a gynecologist. I had already had several ultrasounds and an MRI at this point, and she had put me on some oral contraceptives for several months, (which made sick to my stomach no matter what I did) and had just done another ultrasound. She greeted me with "Well, you're really messed up inside, Honey.", which already had me pretty stressed out. Then told me I would probably need surgery to figure out exactly what was going on. She then asked me if I wanted children, and I said No. I had taken my husband with me to the appointment for moral support, and she glanced over at him, and then talked to me for 5 minutes about how many women my age could still have children, and I could definitely consider it, and that they would do everything they could to make sure I could stay viable. They could freeze my eggs if I had to do a hysterectomy, just on and on. She probably asked me directly 4-5 if I was sure I didn't want kids. Finally, I said, "Ma'am, my husband got a vasectomy over a decade ago, we are absolutely sure we don't want kids." After hubs had found me crying on the toliet, because my period was late again, he went to his doctor and said, "Hey doctor, I'm thinking about a vasectomy." The doctor gave him a pamphlet to read, and made him an appointment. The whole thing was done in a few weeks.

Anyhow, she finally referred me to a gynecological surgeon, and I was not looking forward to dealing with this again, and was just generally terrified of having surgery for the first time. I met with this woman and she was so efficient and practical. It is the longest doctor appointment I've ever had, since this surgery would be exploratory, she went over every possibility of what could happen when she was inside. She did a thorough exam, she went over all the scans that I had, and explained why she thought this needed done. Then she said she would like to put in a Mirena IUD during surgery. She said, "You're in pain half the month, and there's no reason for you to have a period if you don't want to have kids. You'll have some erratic bleeding for six months, but by a year most women have a very light or no period at all, there's no reason for you to needlessly suffer if you don't end up needing a hysterectomy."

It's interesting to me still, that one doctor was so focused on what my body could do, and another so focused on how I felt. I came out of the first appointment feeling scared and confused, and the second feeling heard and cared for. Feeling valued as a person and not a baby maker made the surgery much easier to go through, and the Mirena has been great btw. Women don't have to needlessly suffer.

Police were called to a Willy Wonka event in Glasgow after angry parents demanded refunds of their £35 (US$44.37) fee. Organizers House of Illuminati had promised a "journey filled with wondrous creations and enchanting surprises at every turn" but discovered a sparse warehouse with a bouncy castle.

Here's some Horrible Valentines for those who are less than enthusiastic about today:

Of course I'd never kiss you For that, you see, is wrong But what is a fair maid to do When men are all so strong
A cartoon girl being burned at the stake with the text: I'll be burned up, if you won't be my Valentine
Valentine's Day, Did you say? Remember dear, before we wed How eagerly you read Those tender sentiments of mine Inscribed upon a Valentine Remember how you sat for hours And sighed and dreamed beside my flowers Remember how you used to love The candy I brought you boxes of I know you do and that is why I cringe before your searching eye And wait you comments cold and candid When I show up empty handed

Look. B2B sales is hard. I get it.

But sending an out-of-the-blue meeting invitation to a cold lead is the wrong move, ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT of the time.

Don’t do this. Don’t ever do this.

It’s not chutzpah. It’s not being a go-getter. It is NOT standard practice, either for corporate sales in general or your industry in particular. It is sure as fuck neither taking the initiative nor being proactive.

It’s being an arrogant asshole. Every time.

Don’t.

    @qurlyjoe @_L1vY_ @josh it’s stimulant-adjacent and used off-label for ADHD. So it could be used to stay awake during Cabinet meetings. Or as an upper to combat sleepiness (on an unrelated note, taking too much Ambien might cause sleepiness 🤔).
    The sheer volume of the pills was staggering! 3000 pills at one go! Can you imagine trying to get your family doc to prescribe 3000 of anything?

    Did people used to look older?

    megsouth,
    @megsouth@c.im avatar

    @RickiTarr Absolutely. In the early 70s, there wasn’t easily available sunscreen. Adults smoked indoors. Leaded gasoline spewed lead in the air and dirt. And women had shorter, manageable haircuts (we didn’t get a handheld hairdryer until 1976-ish). So, the environment changed but also shampoo, makeup, and hair care technology grew by leaps and bounds.
