ok so looking for advice here hehe.

What exactly happens at a mamogram ultrasound thingy? My appointment is tomorrow for that lump in my breast and as i'm only 36 i have no idea what to expect? any of you ladies go through this? i've heard you get squeezed and its cold thats about it. also i was told no deodarant..huh? lol.

Your hands will be shaking so much from the cold that you'll spill all of that generic coffee, dear Wyatt!

I agree with you, though. Timmies coffee is awful. As is Starbucks. Some of the specialty drinks from either place aren't bad, but their regular house blends are just terrible.

Mind you, if I haven't had my morning/elevensies/afternoon coffee, it'll still do the job.

Haha.

I'm quite fond of most Starbucks mixed drinks, but I really wish they hadn't gone ahead and settled on ONE dark blend as their regular, every day coffee. I love Gold Coast and their French Roast, so I used to look forward to seeing what the coffee of the day was. Nowadays they only rotate the MILD blends. Grrr. It's sad to see how corporate they've become. I remember doing a study on the company about a decade ago for a college course, and it was a truly different kind of company back then. These days there's not much difference between Starbucks and McDonalds in terms of corporate standardization.

You have to put a gown on, you can keep your pants on. You'll be postioned in front of a machine and they'll place you where they want you. Yes, your breast is squashed between some plexiglass until it's flat as a pancake. I was told, and I can attest to this...that the larger your breasts are, the less it hurts. There is less underarm tissue that they have to get into that squashed place! No deoderent, no lotions or powders, and don't shave your armpits this morning. Takes about 10 minutes to do both your breasts, then they usually have someone look at it right away. I had something, ended up just being a cyst, that they had to do an ultrasound on after, but normally, it's just in and out.

Well, I notice all the interviews in February and March! Congratulations guys!!!! What a wonderful thing to read on a Monday morning!

Have a coffee...it's not Starbucks, Timmies or McDonald's...it's carlacoffee! Wayyyyyyyyyyy better.

Made it very difficult as Tim and I sang to each other when I walked down the aisle!

Thanks for the coffee!!

I am a Second Cup girl all the way! I don't really like Tim horton's coffee at all though we're going to go today so that my husband can have some Timbits... he's all on about them...

I like a medium or strong blend and sometimes a half strong and half flavour... especially if it's hazelnut!

Haha.

We only got like 2 inches, but the wind is blowing at 30-40mph! Which makes it not so nice! I'm in Nebraska, just over the river in IA there is blizzard warnings, I guess count myself lucky! My poor pup hates the snow, just when it was melting and the ground not so cold on his paws. Tried to find booties for him, well the XXS well still WAY too big!

The only coffee around here is Scooters and Starbucks...blech....Probably why I don't drink too much coffee anymore, well that and I've been quit smoking for almost 3 months now, I can't drink too much or else its a trigger for me. Mmmm a Timmies double double...fruit explosion muffin...

I like Starbucks Fall/Winter blends like the gingerbread latte..mmmmm!

So Varba got an email from his Dad, that his mom obviously asked him to send.

It's about Christmas.

I'm so tempted not to attend any of his immediate family Christmas's anymore...
