I was due for a smear with the doctor later in the week. Early one
morning,
I received a call from the doctor's office to tell me that I had been
rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am. I had only just packed
everyone
off to work and school, and it was already around 8:45 am. The trip to
his
office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have any time to spare.
As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when
making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the
full
effort. So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pyjamas, wet the facecloth
that
was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in that area
to
make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the facecloth in the
clothes
basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my
appointment.
I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in.
Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table,
looked
over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris or
some
other place a million miles away. I was a little surprised when the
doctor
said, 'My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven't we?'
I didn't respond.
After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The rest
of
the day was normal - some shopping, cleaning, & cooking.
After school when my 7 year old daughter was playing, she called out
from
the bathroom, 'Mummy, where's my facecloth?'
I told her to get another one from the cupboard.
She replied, 'No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all
my
glitter saved inside it.'
NEVER going back to that doctor ever!! |

Well Deniz ~ some of us have a sense of humour that at times is very similar .
I'm impressed though that you wish to integrate with the Greeks so much that you have changed your name ~ now if there were more like you there would be no Cyprus problem .

Well that's a shame because there are some really nice and genuine Greeks out there ~ agreed I've not met many from Athens but I've found some decent people from the islands and the outlying "country" area's of Greece.

I am sure Bill. I wasnt sure whether you were referring to GCs or Greeks above. I assumed (perhaps erroneously) that you were referring to the Cypprob - idirectly. I have met lovely people from all over Greece and work with them too. In my younger days I was even head over heels with the late Aliki Vouyouklaki, but then who wasnt. |

| It just amazes me how a joke about smear tests can go off topic onto the Cyprus Problem. Just about sums things up around here. |
