  • I got the funniest call from, of all people, Marcie, that bitch who's always after Brett.   (See?  I TOLDJA she sticks her antenna out every time we're on shaky ground--or should I say antennae?!).  The witch wants to know if any of my older female relatives or friends are interested in "The Sarah Study" (she used the Hebrew pronunciation, "Sare-Ray"), a program encouraging women aged forty through sixty (yep, you read correctly, folks: SIXTY, sixty years old) to give birth.   Ever since they discovered several years ago that the uterus remains functional and capable of regenerating under artificial hormonal stimulation even after our ovaries have petered out, they've been experimenting with older women conceiving, though most of the fetuses are from egg donors, Marcie elaborated.  To qualify for this well paying program, you need to undergo an extensive physical and psychiatric exam.   I told her flatly I didn't know anyone who'd be interested--especially after she read me the contract warning of an increased risk of female cancer.  It creeped me out her calling right after we saw Chelle's mother.   It creeps me out Marcie coming around here, PERIOD (pun intended).
