Segue Cafe - meet up with friends to chat about whatever strikes your fancy

This video made me sad :cry:. I’ve visited (one of) the medical university in Cuba years ago and even though things weren’t all that great, at that time, people had access to basic medicine (at least, in some of the areas we visited). I still remember the students we talked to and the people who invited us to their homes (some were really poor, but still wanted to make us a meal). Sometimes I wonder if they are doing okay…

Wow! That is great! Congratulations to the happy couple! I wish them a lifetime of happiness together! HB and SYJ are a cute couple for sure. I hope they post a few wedding pictures for fans.

Back in the day I was rooting for him and Song Hye Ko but it wasn’t meant to be. So glad that things worked out for him and Son Ye Jin!

I don’t think they will get any backlash from fans. I believe majority of both their fandoms approved of the relationship and were eager to see them get married. Although you may be right-probably will get comments about having children right after the wedding ceremony is over , since SYJ is 40 years and HB is 39 years old, so a different kind of pressure.

Yes, I didn’t mean backlash, but more like… pressure because they were an on-screen couple as well?
It’s hard to explain, but I feel like celebrities might get pressured / feel pressure, because they have to be like their characters in some way? Even though that completely unrealistic :no_mouth:.

So I hope they don’t pay attention to that pressure :blush:

SYJ and Hyun Bin have really made it big in the industry - they’re veterans. I think it’s because they’re so well-established and famous that people see them more as the people they are and not just drama characters. Their fandoms are rock-solid, and they’ve been wishing for the two to tie the knot since forEVER. But you’re right, i hope they feel no pressure whatsoever and just share life together like an ordinary couple.

Now I’m just waiting for Kim Woo Bin and Shin Min Ah to HURRY UP :joy::joy::heart:

This is so true, instead of getting to know them outside of the characters they play.

This part of Hyun Bin’s translated post, from the link vivi_1485 shared, comes to mind, regarding feyfayer’s concern.

“The ‘Jung Hyuk and Se Ri’ who were together in the drama will take the first step together in that future.”

Unless, of course, the character is a true projection of who they are already.

Thyroid Cancer
On Wednesday, Dr. Oz had a show on the fastest growing cancer in women, Thyroid cancer. It was a very interesting program and he mentioned that The increase could possibly be related to the use of dental x-rays and mammograms.

He demonstrated that on the apron the dentist puts on you for
Your dental x-rays there is a little flap that can be lifted up and wrapped Around your neck.
Many dentists don’t bother to use it.

Also, there is Something called a “thyroid guard” for use during mammograms.

By coincidence, I had my yearly mammogram yesterday. I felt a little Silly, but I asked about the guard for the thyroid guard and sure enough, the technician had one In a drawer. I asked why it wasn’t routinely used.
Answer: “I don’t know. You have to ask for it.” Well, if I hadn’t seen the show, how would I have known to ask?

We need to pass this on to our daughters, nieces, mothers and all our
Female friends and husbands tell your wives.

Please remember to ask for “Thyroid Guard” when you go for Dental X-ray or Mammogram.

Someone was nice enough to forward this to me. I hope you pass this on To your friends and family.

We have a young S. Korean student attending campus here and he just came to the Registrar’s Office window (where I work) to ask for assistance in filling out some paperwork. Almond shaped, dark brown eyes and coal black hair. Such a polite young man. Made me want to run right home and start watching my K-dramas. LOL!
