Oh my. Tough for her but also anxious for you! My best wishes to both of you...it is great to have supportive friends.

Oh I thought this going to be about the butts of guys of a certain age...

That was one of the runner-up topics; the other was to celebrate pre-1492 cartographers.

Pre-1492 cartographers knew of roundness and had a petty good idea of size, too. Columbus underestimated radius but luckily filled-in the charts. To me, "going flat" involves vehicle tires. Especially when biking over sticker-weeds.

I'm not sure which I prefer: flat earth; hollow earth; or elephants all the way down. I have books on all those options. Another fascinating tome is GRAVITY IS A PUSH. Sort of like, THERE IS NO GRAVITY: EARTH SUCKS -- which is almost a GOP platform position.

There *is* support for the flat-Earth position. Columbus set sail with four ships in 1492, not three. The Santa Cruz fell off the edge. Look it up.

I look forward to human exploration of hyperspace, hairy space, and inner space. But hairy space sounds like the most fun.

Please take discussion of the hirsute to The Fetish Forum. Thanks.

Did your friend do well with surgery today?

You never answered my question.

Are you referring to your question about my interest in this topic? My wife and saw the article and counted 11 people we know who have had a mastectomy. Only 1 did not choose reconstruction, and that was 40 years ago. This article was surprising to us. As for my inquiry about your friend, I was just being polite.

She's fine. Had some scar tissue removed from an infection brought on by chemo/lumpectomy/mastitis. No cosmetic reconstruction. She also has no partner. That factors in.

We wish her well.
