Sounds like the title to a book you might find in the office of your gyno. But no, just a funny little story. I was editing a paper my five footer (must not reveal names of the innocent) had written for social studies on a Revolutionary War hero (remember that hero part). It was a woman who had dressed as a man so she would be allowed to fight in the army (wouldn't catch me doing that--bahhk, bahhk). In the end when they found out that she was really a woman they gave her a "horrible discharge". I thought it odd and questioned the 5'er who said "yeah they must have been really mad at her". I'm still thinking "hero?" Meanwhile I check her web resources for her citations page and start reading the story of this girl--turns out everyone was proud of her and her actions (she was a great soldier) but because she was a she they had to kick her out. Washington had actually given her an "honorable discharge". Perhaps we should consider a private education?!
Need a reason to celebrate tonight?? Happy Bissextile Day--have a little fun with that one...

Do you really want to go to Yoga? I have read about the nasty skin infections you can get from using club mats, they don't disinfected them frequently enough. I would vote against any new class where you really should buy your own mat before you know if you will like it! You can always join us kayaking this summer.
That 5 footer can really teach US a thing or two, huh? I hope the term horrible discharge is NEVER associated with my name no matter who or what!
Be careful what you eat before the whole yoga thing. 34b cup is right about tooting, I know because it happened to Rosie O'Donnel!
