My little rant.

Regarding the bag in the previous post. I changed the pic and updated the info on the yarn. Thank you all for the kind words.

Check out this article: SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian scientists have called on the country's farmers to report any ugly sheep found in their flocks. A campaign called "Xtreme sheep" aims to study sheep with undesirable wool features to unlock the genetic makeup of the prized merino and ensure production of its high quality fleece.



SPEARS SAYS BABY #2 WAS NOT PLANNED."

"It just kind of happened," the 24-year-old singer reveals in an interview in the latest issue of People magazine, on newsstands Friday. She adds, laughing: "I'm going to wait a while for the next (one)!"


OK Everyone... 1 - 2 - 3- DUUUUHHHHHH!







This next paragraph is about my weird gyno appt, so if you dont want to read about it. Consider your post reading done. I was really early for my appt. I sat at the light ready to make a U-Turn to get into the office parking lot. I notice the car in front of me rattling. The male passenger was screaming and gesturing at the female driver. Obviously, if he is making the car move, he is passionate in his argument. The driver just sat there. He was like watching popcorn in the microwave where it's pop pop pop but then pop....pop...pop pop... pop. He finally stopped and she started. About freaking time. As she was starting to make her point the light changed, but I figure eh... she had to listen to him. I let her continue and we missed the light. The passenger jumped out of the car and walked away (she would have to do a U-Turn to follow him) but she just drove off. OK so if you dont now want the gyno story, this is really your last chance to stop reading. And also fair warning, this post will delve into the pro-life/choice arena too...

I am pretty sure I have cysts again. I have to do the initial appts (changing dr because changed towns) and so he prescribed some meds in prep for my meeting him next week (one is to stop internal bleeding and the other is so he can use a camera, and dont worry fearless readers, those pics wont be posted) He hands me 2 perscriptions and says to me, "the first no problem you just take 1 every day until the appt. The 2nd, I'm putting on the bottle take orally, but instead I want you to put them in your vagina the day before. If I put this on your perscription, the pharmacist will call me and there's always a problem which ends with them refusing to write in on the bottle anyway. So just dont get confused 2 inside the vagina, 10 down your mouth. If you do get confused, you won't die, but... you know I would actually like to see that hahah." (Is it just me that always gets the yucksters gynos or are they jokey bunch in general?)

I take the perscriptions to Costco. They say come back in a half hour. When I do, the pharmacist a middle aged guy takes me into a room and asks me if I am taking these pills to have an abortion. I reply, "excuse me?" He says that these pills are used for abortions so not that he was getting into my business (which he was) but he needed to know. I was pissed. It doesnt matter if a person is pro-life or pro-choice. He has no right in his position to inflict his politics on me. It's the same as the person who sells pizza asking do you really want pepperoni on it, those are dead animals. Or working in a gun shop and talking people out of buying guns. A person can protest somewhere, but once s/he decides to take a job, the personal politics shouldnt be interfering with their duties. Or as a consumer, I should know that a particular establishment has a specific political agenda that could affect me. And remember this isn't Walmart (who just got into trouble for RU486) This is COSTCO! After I tell him the question is inappropriate that I made an informed decision with my doctor, but if what's keeping me from walking away with these pills is whether I am having an abortion, then no I am not. In fact, the dr gave me a pregnancy test just to be sure. Then I preceeded to explain to him about the other 2 "special" pills which really made him uncomfortable but I was pissed. But here's the kicker-- the pharmacist hadn't even filled the perscription yet! He wasn't going to have them until the following day. He was questioning BEFORE he filled the perscription. To me, that is really REALLY wrong.

What else is wrong, is that so far this year, we have spent $3100 at Costco. Do you believe that?? I'm trying to remember if we even bought any big ticket items or if it was just toilet paper and vats of teriyaki sauce. Wait a bbq... and a camera... One of the little gun people scanned our card and targetted us for the executive membership where we earn 2% back for all our purchases in a year. But if you want to know how much you spend at Costco, ask them. They know.
