  1. Firstly, I’m going to have dark dreams about that hand motion and this whole “tearing of membranes” bit. Good lord. Are there really THAT many membranes left to tear, one wonders?

    Secondly, I have nothing helpful to add to the uncomfortable and awkward situation referenced above, except that 1. Being a patient sucks ass
    2. Mister Doctor Man is a creep 3. I, too, have made out with several Italians (not all at once, mind) and managed to preserve most, if not all of my teeth. And membranes for that matter.

    Sending a bit of virtual hugging your way and on to Missy. She’s going to tear this cancer’s figurative membrane, I just know it. (hand motion)

  2. 11. the doctor totally went home and spaked his…manly bits, much like i’m spanking the ass of cancer

    a. true
    b. false
    c. as soon as we left the office
    d. in the car
    e. had some class and waited until he got home, pretended to take a shower and a.

  3. good quiz. i think i aced it.
    and you survived the real version, and missy forged on ahead with her questions no matter how many teeth got in her way.

    p.s. – lemon grass tea! lots of it.
    and good friends
    best to you and missy and the rest of the gang

  4. Question #4 has an infinite loop in it that is causing me some brain problems.

  5. And go Missy! Tear cancer’s membranes a new one!

  6. Linda — I think it might’ve been not horrible if he had answered the question and then moved on instead of answering it nonstop for 10 minutes. Okay, we understand. No tearing membranes or breaking teeth. Got it. PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT IT. (Breaking teeth? Really?)

    Missy — Well, friend, I am going to pick e.

    Judih — It’s always good to ace a quiz on a Friday, I think. Also hi… been thinking about you.

    srah — Hah. Obviously by “both a & d” I meant “both a & c” but I was tired. And I figure I’ll just leave it, because I like infinite loops. Also, yes, go Missy!

    schmutzie — Cool. Thanks! And thanks to the person that submitted the link!

  7. That doctor clearly has … issues. Breaking teeth? Really?

  8. Really. Breaking teeth. I’ve never heard of such a thing, but the way the doctor kept looking at me when he warned against it led me to believe that I look like the sort of person that’s going to bust the hell out of someone’s teeth. Nice.

  9. Okay, that hand gesture video? That was pretty good. You looked just like a real doctor. Did you ever think about medical school? Because you’ve got the hand gestures down.

  10. […] place in July. I figure if there’s anything I can do while she is on this journey, from sitting in an awkward appointment with her oncologist to making goofy videos in the hopes of making her smile when her spirits flagged (and also […]

  11. […] I was hanging out with Missy (I think actually we were going to see her oncologist for a visit that we will laugh about for the rest of our lives) and she had a couple of catalogs of wigs and I made the decision: I would grow out my hair and […]
