Uptake results were at 54% not good that's after 6 years of taking tapazole, guess I have no choice. On a positive note I was feeling a little sorry for myself when I agreed that I will finally go through with this (six months ago) and felt the need to replace my butterfly (thyroid is a butterfly shape) with something more permanent, sooooo I found myself a pretty little dragonfly (I'm more of a dragonfly than a butterfly pesonality anyways) necklace that I adore, I call it my pitty necklace lol, hubby is sweet he said yes to it right away without batting an eyelash.

We went to Starbucks (so I could get a caramel apple spice) and we cozied up in the cafe to get some reading in this afternoon. We were there for about five minutes when two women come up and sit in chairs in the same area. One woman is about middle-aged, the other is elderly. They sit there chatting for about 20 minutes before the elderly woman gets up and leaves.
The middle-aged woman stays, and spends the next 45ish minutes staring at me and DH. She didn't have a book to read, she was just sitting there staring at us. I looked up a couple times and caught her eye, smiled, and she just looked away each time, but then I could feel her staring at me again.
FINALLY, at the end of 45 minutes she moves to sit next to DH, who was sitting on a sofa. I was sitting in a squashy chair next to the sofa. This is what happened next:
Stranger Lady: Can I ask you something?
Mr. Haven: Sure.
Stranger Lady: Did you think I was glaring at you guys?
Mr. Haven: Uh no, if you were I didn't notice.
Haven: (What was I going to say?)
Stranger Lady: Well, I was looking at you because I wasn't sure if I should say anything, but my friend? The one who was here earlier? She peed in that chair you're sitting in right before you sat down. She was coughing a lot too, and I just didn't want you to think that I was bringing it up because I wanted the chair or something. So I didn't know if I should say anything.
Haven: (standing)
Mr. Haven: Well, that would have been great information to have an hour ago.
Stranger Lady: I'm sorry. I knew you saw me looking at you, but I didn't know if it was something you'd want to know or not.
Haven: (still standing) Did you tell the employees? Did anyone clean it up?
Stranger Lady: No, I don't think so.
Haven: You might want to tell them about this chair. And the other one that your friend just sat in, too.
Stranger Lady: Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
We bolted out of there and headed straight home, where I stripped and threw everything I was wearing into the laundry, and myself into the shower. Obviously, I didn't feel anything on the chair when I sat down. Nothing was wet when I stood up, but ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! Who sits down and stares at a pregnant woman sitting in a chair that you know has urine all over it?!?!
I'm still not sure whether this actually happened or not. It seems too bizarre to be real. But DH experienced it too. If I had been alone I would have sworn I had a bizarre pregnancy hallucination.

This was DH's first thought, too. We got in the car (after he spread out a towel for me to sit on, just in case!) and he said, "This makes me never want to sit in a chair in public again."missy|1348395753|3273125 said:Ugh, Haven, I'm so sorry that happened to you! Something is definitely wrong with that woman who just stared at you guys for so long.
Makes me wonder what we're all sitting down in when we sit in public places because I gotta say, no way this is an isolated incident. Just brings to light that we just don't know what the heck we are sitting in when we are out in public! Not too pleasant a thought.
