One's preference for location aside, I have to say this only works as hyperbole. As someone who has the frozen veggies on the jewels as I type, and has nearly passed out twice within the last 12 hours, I'd have to say 'sans the pain killers' .... ugh, just hard to think about right now. And I know you are TIC, but still!

And while we're on the subject, I remember this coming up some weeks ago as a topic on the 'Latest and Greatest.' Personally, it took me quite a while to come to this decision, as I was trying to weigh the needs of our family, against what you might call religious reservations. The most difficult aspect of it is that too often the guys you might want to ask are precisely the same guys who are too close to ask such a personal, private question.

The funny part was that the doctor was asking me yesterday how I wrestled with the decision because he saw me bring my bible into the consultation (I always bring my own reading material to places I expect to wait around - to make good use of my time). Anyway, I won't get into all the issues I myself had to weigh, but I just wanted to lament the reality of how taboo the subject is - to the detriment of ever finding good council.
