I keep thinking about @Justone13 who posted "Waiting room talk" and wonder what it would be like if we were friendlier to each other at the RE's office.

Usually, we all go in, look down, and find a seat in the waiting room without making eye contact. Yesterday, a woman smiled at me as she retrieved her SO, then I saw her at the lab this morning and she complimented my shoes and made a silly comment about it being too early (while we were listening to one of the phlebotomists pass off a blood draw to another phlebotomist because she poked the woman twice already, unsuccessfully). I smiled back yesterday and happily responded today, and I made a comment to MH about how rare that was and how maybe it would be nice if we could be kinder to each other.

Anyway, I am not a social person, and sometimes, especially at the RE, I might not want to talk, but I would always respond if someone wanted to be friendly.

So, I am curious to see if anyone here happens to go to my clinic? Last I checked, there were a few ladies in Nor/CenCal but I none of them went to the same RE's office. I go to FPNC which has two locations in the Bay Area.

I saw in another thread that one poster's RE has a facebook page where they could talk about the clinic; that would be interesting to do.

Sorry this was so long. My mind's been wandering.

ETA: Short Version: Does anyone go to FPNC?

“All I can say is, it's a sort of kinship, as though there is a family tree of grief. On this branch, the lost children, on this the suicided parents, here the beloved mentally ill siblings. When something terrible happens, you discover all of the sudden that you have a new set of relatives, people with whom you can speak in the shorthand of cousins.” ― Elizabeth McCracken
