MAMMOGRAM = BREAST ABUSE

Today was a monumental day for me, a right of passage into middle-agedhood, I had my first mammogram. All I can say is OUCH!! What sick fuck thought squishing boobies flat as pancakes was the only conceivable way to take pictures of breasts?

I have spent most of my life battling the affects of gravity on my breasts. I am stalwart in wearing a bra almost all the time, I even sleep in a bra. I minimize the time my breasts are allowed to hang free all in the efforts to keep my breasts nice and perky. And today, some strange women took perverse pleasure in squashing my boobs FLAT!!

It's just sick and wrong on so many levels!

Failures

There is nothing so great as being confronted with your failures. Years and years later it still smarts.

Letting Go

When is it time let go of a friendship? At what point do you decide that the hurts being felt outweigh the love over many, many years? Do you just give up and let it go?
