A Day Spent in Family Planning

I could have said a day spent in gynecology, or a day spent sticking cold metal objects in places where they don't belong, but I figured family planning was the more kosher description and actually technically the right title. I have now done 2 PAP smears and watched about 15.

Things I learned today:
#1 All of Ooltewah (probably including most of SAU) is sexually active from the age of 14-60, and a good portion with multiple partners, except me... and Carrie... and Stephanie... what is it with these 14 year olds who think this is NORMAL?
#2 Just because you get an STD doesn't mean you should stop sleeping with the person you got it from. Just get checked out, get it fixed and it will all be better.
#3 People who can't afford health insurance and/or can't pay for their doctors visits can afford breast implants.
#4 Condoms are a girl's best friend, and can be had by the bag full at your local health department.

On the upside, I think I have a much better idea how I would do my own family planning if and when I should need that knowledge. I now know what it's like to be on the other end of the table making the diagnostic decisions.

Oh, and, my car is fixed! Two more new axles did the trick. I think I'm a little paranoid about every rattle or shake now though.
