There Are No Words To Describe It
Tue Sep 14 2004


While reading a blog for the Weblog Review, I ran across an interesting blogging event that I have not heard of before. A Storyblogging Carnival. The owner of the blog hosts blog entries and links to stories that are written in blogs.

I entered a story too! It's an interesting idea. I found the information originally on a blog called Fringe .

 You can read the Stories that were submitted here:

I began my day today over at the Kaiser Clinic visiting the Mammogram Team.
I just have one or two or three things to say about this.

1. Don't let the mauve and teal decor in the waiting room fool you, there are humming, buzzing, clicking, instruments of torture behind door #1.

2. Exposed female flesh does NOT look very attractive under florescent lighting at 9:15 in the morning. Especially when it's your own.

3. Smashing of mammary glands under clear plastic plates is just WRONG.

But I did my duty. And now I want some special treat. I haven't figured out what that will be, but I THINK it will involve chocolate in one form or another.

Whimper.

    I have never had a mammogram and I stopped getting pap smears 20+ years ago.

    You just had to bring up chocolate! Whaaaaaaaa
    All I have here are M&M's and that doesn't seem satisfying.

    You have been very brave today I think chocolate is a MUST nay your divine right. I laughed a little at number one as it reminded me so much of my own reaction to our doctor's surgery when I had my scare with Lumpy.

    Hugs to you, you get me through my darkest dreariest days.

    Much Love

    4. If God had wanted them flat he would have designed them that way.

    5. Prayer is an essential part of the process. Please, please, please don't let there be a fire while I am trapped here.

    I need chocolate just thinking about it. :)

    dont you just feel like a mound of flesh in the doctors office i do flourescent lights or not i used to tell my physiotherapist hey turn that picture of the anatomy around it creeps me out i dont want to look inside there are too many things that have the potential of going wrong but they never seem too

    when oh when are they going to come up with a much more intelligent way of doing breast scans???? sheesh!!!

    if they can invent an automatic car washer that doesn't even touch the car anymore surely they can do the same with those mammogram machines!!!!!!

    I also get to play the "Squish the Boobies" game every year, and chocolate is mandatory following those games.

    I'm waiting for someone to invent an tri-corder like on Star Trek so we don't have to subject ourselves to mammograms any more. I sure with they would hurry up with that invention!

    I've stated it before, but it bears repeating. The mammogram *had* to have been invented by a man. And the fastest, bestest way to get even is for us to invent the scrotogram, and make every guy over a certain age submit to it every other year. Let's see how fast they can then devise a alternate screen method!
