@LoneWolfer: [it sounds like such a cliche, but...] Try not to worry, please! I went through 2-3 years of abnormal screens/displaysia and have been clear for about 3 years since then. Colposcopies aren't fun, but they really aren't bad either. They last a few minutes at most, and if you try to relax your jaw (like, try to smile) it can help. Sorry, I'm sure this is small comfort at this point, but, really, there's a big chance it will be nothing to worry about. Good luck to you, LW, and please feel free to PM me if you'd like any internet moral support.
@Dictator for Life: Well, if you (or anyone else) should want
OPI Mother Road Rose [mp.hairboutique.com] or OPI Not So Bora-Bora-ing Pink [www.lookfantastic.com] please let me know!
No exchanges needed if you want either or both, but check the links for color likeness as most of the Google images looked totally off from what I have sitting here. At most they've been used to do a color test on one index finger nail. I seem to be an expert at wasting money on polish that doesn't work for me at all.
Please, someone take them!

@Dictator for Life: Thanks for posting this as I've been meaning to do the same for ages. Mind if I piggyback your comment with a few bottles of polish I've never used?

@Hooplehead: Same thing happened in my old house. There are standard replacement knobs to be had at most hardware stores for less than $10 (typically). If you can find the model no. on your stove/oven you may want to order them online as the generic ones didn't seem to be wholly accurate. There's also a way to calibrate your oven, but that's WAY out of my league.
@Bollywhaaa: (I'm hours late with this response, but...) Thank you! I was trying to remember if that was from this book. An illustration of a little boy and the egg came back immediately. Off to see if there's a print of it to be had.
@Tea and Oranges: Annie Proulx & Jayne Anne Phillips come immediately to mind based on your favorites listed, but I'll be back with more when my brain fog clears.
@frugal: A friend put it (bluntly) like this: you've at least found out that that isn't an option for you, now you move onto the next step.
If she wants to look into adoption, fostering, surrogacy? Great. If not? She may be able to adjust her perceptions of how she thought her life was going to look with regard to kids, which she may actually find liberating eventually. I'm putting this terribly, sans coffee, but it can be quite a blow for some people (feeling your body has failed you, etc.). Yeah, so I'll stop babbling now, good luck.
