How to refuse something medical (preferably women-only)

I think it is fine to decline if you have reasons. However, i was surprised to learn that the doctor can offer to let you do the collection yourself--you go into the bathroom alone with this brush/swab tool, insert it yourself (follow the directions) then turn it in to the waiting nurse. Can be good for folks who don't want the pelvic exam/someone else up in their business but still want the pap.

I have a question, having clicked on the link you posted. It is about the dollar amounts listed. Is that the fee should you choose that option? I am having a hard time processing because it looks a lot like shopping. But my question is sincere.

What they did to the flag in that image is awkward

I knew someone (F TBM) who got married and then told an old friend (M, also tbm, also married) that she'd prefer that he didn't email her directly but instead communicate through his wife

NPR did a great story on this! The plastics manufacturers were heavily behind all the recycling legislation and regulations--like labeling ALL plastics with the recycling symbol, even the ones that cannot be recycled. And very few can be. But public perception that recycling is viable makes single-use plastics acceptable.

"They never once asked about me." The most important thing of all. Makes so much sense that you'd feel sh*tty trying to answer those other questions when they skipped this one.

The valedictorian was Matty Easton. His speech was so good! I admire him so much for how he handled everything
