There already is one! It's recent, but hasn't done a thing. I live in the area and walking by on Monday night there appeared to be a drunken transient shindig going on on our steps. They seem to use it more for drinking/hanging out/sexing than they do for sleeping.

I'm always so surprised at how many people I know who can't drive stick. I always offer to teach! I think it's one of those critical life skills that most people don't bother to learn. My mom refused to teach me how to drive on an automatic because it "isn't really driving". She wanted me to be able to drive anything in any situation if need-be (I also had to buy my own car before I learned- she wasn't going to let me destroy her clutch). I've owned one automatic and couldn't stand it. I just bought a car in June and it was this huge hunt to find something newer that was manual. Looooove it.

Okay, I'm done geeking out.

Re-reading my response- it's actually kind of awful and not very well explained. I think I got a little too excited about answering!

The place where we differ is that I'm not interested in working in a kitchen. I want to work in a food-focused environment, and would like to get into catering, food styling, or another related area. I've applied for jobs as a catering assistant, an event planner, and even an admin assistant for a natural foods company.

Have had it! Thanks for catching that.

I had several abnormal paps which triggered a set of testing. I did blood tests, and then moved forward from there. Once I had a biopsy to remove pre-cancerous cells they did more tests and narrowed down the types that I have/had. I haven't done my three month check-up yet so not sure if I still have either type or not. It's generally pointless to even check for it as it's almost always harmless.

Thank you!

So this is forever later and I ended up buying a COMPLETELY different car (05 Hyundai Accent with super low miles) and thanks to QL people I got a GREAT deal on it because I refused to budge. My boyfriend called me mean, and I feel great about how it all played out.

That was actually my first thought, but the two don't seem to be related.

I definitely never experienced it on my old mattress (just a cheapie generic thing) and my boyfriend's mattress (what we use now) has a pillow top and is a bit fancier. I do wonder if it has something to do with the mattress... I'm not quite sure how to narrow that down or solve it though. We definitely can't afford a different mattress. We recently put a cotton pad over it/under the sheet and it hasn't helped either.

Who knows!

This sounds heavenly.

Oh, and I intentionally didn't take it this morning, just to see.

I do still get them when my boyfriend isn't in bed. We've lived together about a year and a half, and have had the same bed during that time. They didn't start until less than a year ago, but have been fairly consistent since then. Anxiety isn't non-existent in my life, but isn't a constant variable or real issue for me either.

I do have type 16 HPV but have been monitoring it via regular check-ups, and it has been getting better rather than worse (biopsy and an herbal tincture via my naturopath). I have no other symptoms that point to HIV, cancer, or any other serious illnesses.

The only variable I am able to pin down is my D supplement. I've been taking high doses to balance out a deficiency (per my dr's recommendation), but looking into it more it seems as though 4000 IU is much higher than generally taken. I have an appointment with her this month so I'll be able to ask more questions then, but I'm just trying to get a better grasp on it what may be causing it at this point.
