Challenge with de- and re-dishing the warsher involves cat, miu man.

As a creature of routine, cat expects one de-dishing and no more, one and done miu man.

The next agenda item is brushing, expectant miu man.

Routine-disrupted cat might try to eat our leg in displeasure, do not irk displease or cross anticipatory miu man.

Two days of yardwork has us coughing again, thought we'd hawked last huge loogie earlier man.

Shall up-dope with Heap Strong lung-medicine and take snootfuls of bronchial inhaler, inspiration man.

We are rather tired of being a phlegmatic individual, how dry we want to be man.

[TBoneTX 45,266]

As foreseen, will almost certainly have to re-brush cat, re-mollify miu man.

[TBoneTX 45,266]

Re-cat prep zzz man.

Mornin', ______- and _____ _____ with __ ___________!

why the heck are people terrified of needles? vaccinations? blood tests? I don't understand! because it hurts for a millisecond?

don't get pregnant! ALL the blood.

Heck I was surprised not to have to submit blood for my yearly physical in the USA. I always had to in Canada.

The fingerstick thing hurts a lot more than a needle, I also don't get why people are so scared. I suppose it's the idea that someone could directly kill you or inject something directly into your body which could make you ill that scares people, rather than the needle itself. Despite the odds of that happening being practically zero, the possibility is scary?

[NikLR 13,227]

I doubt it. People don't get tattoos because "scared of needles" but if you've ever seen a tattoo gun, you cannot even see the needles! It's a psychological thing, I agree, but I don't get it. Needles bring health to most people, not death.

Kind of surprised you get a yearly physical. I haven't had one since it was required by my high school like 12 years ago.

Needles, I don't mind them, but sometimes getting an IV in or a blood draw will result in anywhere between 3 to 20 or more punctures for me and it can last a great deal of time with multiple people attempting it. I can see someone not being a fan of that, but I just sit nicely and smile for the sake of whoever is doing it. It does hurt, especially if the person is the type to dig for a vein.

That sounds painful.The needle for plasma donations also hurts, as it's larger than the average. Having that thing poked in multiple times is indeed kind of awful. I guess everyone has an irrational fear....it's just part of being human!

My mother had yearly physicals and still had to have a hysterectomy. Right now I have them every 3 years since I've been clear. FYI when I say yearly physical, I mean my pap smear, general overview, and general health questions. In Canada this includes a random glucose test and a couple other blood tests for thyroid function etc..

Drink more water the days before you have to get blood drawn. You're probably dehydrated.

I'm not looking forward to yearly mammograms. >.<

I load with water beforehand, it makes no difference. The worst was when I was on metformin, my veins were basically impossible to get. That was probably dehydration. I've been told that I just have small and deep ones that are prone to collapse.

I was thinking the typical GP health exam, which I kind of feel like is a waste for younger folks.

I am pretty sure I probably can't give plasma, often times they have to use child size needles and such on me, so the plasma one might be too big. Annndddd I don't want the scars.

[NikLR 13,227]

Well if they didn't check my blood pressure or lungs or heart I'd be annoyed. So my yearly exam includes those. I'm glad I found a good dr down here for all that exam stuff.

I didn't know plasma donation caused scars until after I did it! I guess I just need to feel good about contributing to saving lives instead.

I'm pretty good at checking blood pressure, and lungs, and hearts...

And I think I could administer a mammogram....

And, I'm pretty good at tattooing...
