Suddenly, a young blonde woman at the corner table stood on her chair and began shouting. "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes! What makes you think that you can stereotype women that way?

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

Need some advice & tips for surgery
I'm scheduled for a lumpectomy on Wed. Dec. 15. What do you recommend to wear and take with me? I'd like to go prepared and leave semi comfortable. Do I need a special bra? No bra? Any other tips to make the brief stay better. BTW, it is outpatient surgery, so no overnight stay. Thanks ahead of time for the heads up. :)

The family held together, and we have been more than just client/consultant…
