Me too. It borders on the scandalous that cervical cancer, among the few cancers that are preventable, kills 310,000 women a year worldwide. In 2007, 11,150 women in the U.S. were diagnosed with it. Half of them had not had a recent Pap test. Another third did get tested but got false negatives from the 65-year-old Papanicolaou biopsy. I found it interesting that this article references a "65-year-old" test, but did not mention the ThinPrep test, which is "the first real improvement to the conventional Pap smear in 50 years". This is the one my doc uses. http://www.thinprep.com/thinprep/

LMAO, Connie!!!!!

About three miles away, in the next town. I prefer Coffee Cat (which is locally owned) and Peet's.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. At least you don't have to ring in, like you do on Jeopardy.

TGIF!

Heck yes!

Without a doubt, that stupid Boston Red Sox Nutcracker I posted about back in December.

^ LMAO! :icon_laugh:

I know I'm in the minority here, but I think it would be awesome to see Linkin Park at The Joint. Shinoda explained the MP3s could become collectibles because Linkin Park plans to change up the set list every night. I wish "another band" (cough cough) would change the setlist every night. :icon_rolleyes:

Wow, that is fascinating!!! Can you imagine seeing them at the Viper Room?! Thanks Nel; this is great.

Great!!!

You sure, Barb? LOL. Here you go:

I wasn't a Beckham fan before, but I do think I've changed my mind. :045:

:icon_laugh: Great...I have two reservations at Embassy Suites in the next couple of months. :icon_rolleyes: I'm starting to see the virtues of the wrapped plastic cups they use at the cheap motel we use in Tahoe.

This year has been OK so far. Nothing major, either good or bad.

Breakdown. Gawd, I remember the first time I heard it back when it first came out.

I learned that Depeche Mode covered "Route 66"...and not very well, I might add. LOL.

Yes, for a couple of local ballot measures. I might do it again sometime.

The Hobbit--J.R.R. Tolkein I Don't Know How She Does It--Allison Pearson Another Bullshit Night in Suck City--Nick Flynn Any of Anthony Bourdain's books

Oh geez, these are hilarious!!! Thanks, Teresa.
