    Having an MRI is like lying in a steel garbage can while someone bangs on the outside with rubber mallets.

    Excellent observation!

    Another observation - Having the tech turn a broken limb every which way to xray it to see if it's broken seems counterproductive.

    Yeah, but at least no one's got their hands stuffed in your mouth at work (I hope!)...

    Random thought: Some days you're the windshield, and some days you're the bug. Methinks I have been the bug for about a week now...

    My acupuncturist said I need to rest more and buy new shoes. My DSIL said that sounds like a contradiction.

    Why is it that birds decide to sit in the middle of the bike path?

    Why is this thread becoming random questions instead of random observations?



    ok.....

    DH and I noticed that when all three cats are hanging out in the same room, they always all have to be facing in three different directions....and usually never facing each other.

    Our cats always get sick on a Friday afternoon...right after the vet closes for the weekend.

    Whenever I get a chipped tooth or cracked filling it's always the day before we go on a vacation.

    Why is it that whenever I'm upstairs working, something I need to finish the job is downstairs?

    Whenever our cat Nina eats grass outside, she makes a pointed effort to puke it up INSIDE, usually heading straight for an area rug.

    Whenever I'm working in the kitchen my little dog sits with her back to me and faces out.
