I take that back, I don't know if he did or didn't...he was through all that crap, I will call it, before I came into the picture. <br /><br />Steve did look at my bump...nothing to see too concerned about, apparently.

I think it's just common sense, like laying out at the pool. Can't hurt to start him off on a career habit of wearing sunscreen protection!<br />Ericcapnauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020957375172560992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024452810108480973.post-47536015436852412182012-07-16T20:42:50.342-04:002012-07-16T20:42:50.342-04:00Ohhhh man do I know those days.

I'm glad you had a good cry, sometimes you really just need it! And I'm melting at Bens apology, how sweet! <br />Please get Tue bump checked out, better safe than sorry.

I guess this may be "ignorance is bliss" but I really just don't pay attention to it. Hell, I bet there is a much greater chance to be killed from a hotel van driver gone wrong.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970722739917121208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024452810108480973.post-54739652428547344762012-07-16T11:24:42.841-04:002012-07-16T11:24:42.841-04:00Hi Joanna,

My boyfriend is interviewing for a major airline and your posts give me a good idea of what life will be like if he decides to leave regional flying. Speaking of brain tumors, I often worry about my bf getting one due to all the radiation he is exposed to while flying, do you ever worry about this or am I paranoid lol? Hope you bump is nothing serious!<br /><br />JulieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024452810108480973.post-34791964775010557872012-07-16T08:50:09.873-04:002012-07-16T08:50:09.873-04:00Thanks Amber!Thanks Amber!Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970722739917121208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024452810108480973.post-15425989170296639572012-07-16T08:49:53.467-04:002012-07-16T08:49:53.467-04:00I like that term "meltdown"...because th...I like that term "meltdown"...because that is totally what it was!Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970722739917121208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024452810108480973.post-70769059025244446282012-07-16T08:49:22.438-04:002012-07-16T08:49:22.438-04:00nope, I lose it too :)nope, I lose it too :)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970722739917121208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024452810108480973.post-29352811698374863622012-07-15T20:18:11.548-04:002012-07-15T20:18:11.548-04:00You are doing a great job Joanna!

Thank you SO much for sharing because sometimes I think maybe it is just me and surely no one else loses it like I do.<br /><br />As for the brain tumor...I recently have been thinking I myself have something wrong in my head. I have a spot where it seems to just get tight for a few days and then it isn't. I hope you remember to ask your pilot to check out your bump!Melisa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04547447525237940505noreply@blogger.com
