Embarrassing questions

I'm a personal fan of anonymity when it comes to health care.

If I had my way, my doctor wouldn't know my name, what my face looks like or where I live. It would free me up to ask some potentially embarrassing (and probably kind-of dumb) questions.

When it comes to asking embarrassing questions, I think most people would adopt that same stance.

But since none of that happens in real life, I'm going to offer readers a one-in-a-million chance to ask those questions - anonymously, of course.

The plan is for me to compile all those anonymous embarrassing questions - for women, men, tweens, teens... just about everybody. Then I'll take them to area physicians and get them answered for the Health page.

To do that, though, I need your questions! They can be about anatomy, sex, noises, drooping, farts, discharges... just about anything! If you're too embarrassed to ask your doctor in person, I'll ask for you.

So send them in...

Transformers

Does anyone remember the Transformers cartoon or have any of the old action figures? We're trying to put together coverage for the upcoming movie and wanted to do a little vintage throwback... Leave info. in the comments section or send me an e-mail. Thanks!

In the meantime, here's a link to the movie's site.

About Me

I'm as close to being a local girl as it gets - I grew up few counties away, went to Gardner-Webb, then stayed in the area after graduation. I started as a reporter at The Star, but have since moved over to the design side, and more recently took over the online editor position.
