A family of sparrows found a puddle of melted snow on East Lakeshore Dr. the perfect place to take a bath on this sunny February day in North Idaho/Kerri Thoreson, OnLocation North Idaho.

Boobie Squishing Time: So I had my annual mammogram first thing this morning. Not really something I like to have to get up early for, but it is over and done with for this year and now I just have to await the results. Fingers crossed I don’t get that stupid letter again saying they need to do further examinations. Ultrasounds are freakin’ cold!/JeanC’s Cat House & Shooting Gallery. More here.

Seeing the birds below the headline Boobie-Squishing time, I thought someone was stepping on them poor birds.

Jean, I probably just missed you. I had to pick my mom up at the hospital after she had a colonoscopy this morning. It was just like that video of the kid after he leaves the dentist appointment. But not really.

After my first mamogram I had greater appreciation for the expression “getting your tit caught in a wringer.”

That’s what it is!

I recently had a whole bunch of tests done - and my mammogram came back clean. It’s an amazing thing, that vice-grip machine. I am always surprised that it can get **anything** at all from my flat chest.

I also just got called by my doc and my thyroid biopsy came back benign. O Happy Day.

So - back to work!

I remember the first time my wife had a mammogram. Thankfully all clear.

She was complaining about how much the processed hurt. Then the unthinkable happened,,,,, I open my big mouth and told her that “Bee Stings” really don’t hurt much.

Duck & Cover!!!! Couple of nights on the couch, plenty of flowers and a very sincere apology and a romantic dinner resolved the issue.

The lesson learned??? Women don’t have much of a sense of humor after a doctors sanctioned titty twister!!! OUCH!!!!!!

;-P

I’m thinking that Dennis’ wife deserves some kind of award :-)

Cindy H, There’s several people out there that wouldn’t disagree with you on that. The woman has put up with me for 30 years.

I don’t know what I would do without her!!!!

;-)
