  1. That's better! Somebody tell a funny! I'll go first.

    When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint

    pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a

    decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater,

    on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300°C.

    The Russians used a pencil.

  2. Oh, so sorry about cancer running in your family. My dad died of cancer, too.

    Just saw a show on TV about thermography and it is now being outlawed in areas in Canada because it gives so many false positives and false negatives. Brand new research as of a few days ago. Not to scare you or anything but I would personally think twice about it. Many clinics have been instructed they must immediately halt the procedure. Interesting. But if you have no cysts or other stuff mammograms are not painful - my first one was a breeze. The digital mammograms are incredibly accurate. The tech told me that they are so sensitive they pick up tiny hairs that are invisible to the naked eye.

    My sister had an abnormal pap and had to go for further testing and it was nothing. It is far better that they seem to be thorough and not take any chances.

    I know what you mean about staying on topic. Where else can you discuss bowel movements, breast massage, migraines and food on the same threads? :lol:

    I'd love to see that show. Generally, thermography is never intended as a replacement for mammograms,

    it is intended to be supplemental, or helpful in cases where a woman is too young for accurate mammograms,

    like myself. It would likely be used in conjunction with ultrasound for someone like me, until I reach an age

    where mammograms would be effective. Hopefully, by that point smushing of the boobies will be a thing of

    the past, given all the damage mine have already endured.... :ph34r: I am curious as to why there is an outcry

    against thermography in Canada but have not seen anything about it in the states as of yet. Off I go to read!

  3. Hahaha, my mother now calls me for cooking advice. That is not how I had imagined our role

    reversal would start! :D

    (men- warning! girl talk follows!)

    Love2, I have to go next week for further testing on an abnormal Pap that came back. I am also

    ordering myself not to freak out! Hard, isn't it? I'm only 28, but there is so very much cancer in

    my family that they are going to want to start testing my breasts soon, so will likely have to find

    someone who does breast thermography, which is a heat imaging scan. It's a rapidly advancing

    imaging technology. I'm much too young for a mammogram to have any kind of accurate results.

    I also have a fibrocystic breast, so that would mess up a mammogram too.

    Funny how we just can't stay on topic, eh? :D :D

  4. Now I want Spam for supper! And I had to. My oldest daughter went through many food phases. She decided one morning she was a vegetarian, except chickens. Chickens don't have feelings. It was the only way to get one more "meat" into her.

    HAHAHAHAAA!!! Hey, whatever ya gotta do.

    Dinner for me tonight: something different! I added carrots instead of potatoes

    to my pot roast. :ph34r:

  5. Yes, I suppose it is a fair question. It never occurred to me as a child that things weren't somehow natural. We killed our own animals, until I was 3 we had a milk cow and we grew our own vegetables. I didn't know food could come from, wherever it is marshmallows come from. I suppose I'm an odd duck though, as a parent I convinced my preschool aged children that there was such a thing as a Spam animal. I even drew them a picture.

    You wicked woman you.

  6. Fine.... fluff if you want to call it that. The jar does. But for some reason, when I was a small girl, I imagined a giant marshmallow sitting in a factory sneezing into jars. I like to just get a spoon sometimes and get a heap of it when I'm in the kitchen alone.

    I am of the opinion that fluff makes a better hot chocolate additive than marshmallows.

    Marshmallows take too long to melt and then get stuck to your lip. Also, I don't even want

    to know how your tiny little girl brain figured jam got into jars! :lol: :lol:

  7. I count three with heat issues including me - yay I won't be alone in the snow while the snowbirds bug out.

    Dinner was I'm scared to say it -- Turkey Soup for me.

    The men had Spaghetti with ground chicken pasta sauce and salad.

    I did make a wonderful blunder today...tried altering my chocolate mousse type substance to a vanilla pudding ts -- I used a bit too much almond milk so it didn't set -- threw the custard cups in the freeze and I have something very close to very rich vanilla ice cream - I think I've gone to heaven! This almost makes up for lack-o-bacon-itis - ALMOST ;)

    I scream, you scream, we all scream for.....

    Bacon? :ph34r:

    Dinner! Curry spiced boneless chicken thighs, fried apples, sauteed zucchini.
