Ohio contact tracing law and anonymous testing
Since the topic came up I will share what I learned when I went through a scare about 2 years ago.
Ohio does have a contact tracing law which requires doctors to report to the health department positive tests for some STDs. Not sure which but definitely HIV and Hep. I think others also. You are then required to list all your contacts so they can be notified. On the plus side, they can be notified anonymously so they don't know it's you who was infected. On the down side, for the women in your life who don't get around the block much it may not be hard for them to figure out it was you who may have put them at risk.
Your regular family doctor may be sympathetic enough to help you avoid this by not reporting it.
However, I discovered and have used a lab which does anonymous testing. There is no doctor involved and they claim to let you be 100% anonymous. They don't make you reveal your real name and they can email the results to you. Your blood is drawn by a nurse.
The place is in a strip plaza in Forest Park and is called Any Lab Test Now. They are a national company.
Their website says they test for "seven (7) STDs including HIV, Herpes (I & II) , Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C" for $229.
I have been there twice now with negative results both time (thankfully) and consider it my duty to have an annual test.
Just thought I would throw this out there for anyone thinking about getting tested.
I don't know what to tell you if you wind up with a positive result, but at least you'll know.
Since the subject of STD has been discussed here lately.
Article in the cincy paper about Ham Co. Having specific std's positive rate from 2 to 9 X's higher than the national avg. There is also some info in the article about testing and reporting requirements for health care providers, which has also been discussed in recent posts. This is a sobering read.
"Hamilton County has a "mini-epidemic" of sexually-transmitted diseases, says the author of a new report gauging the region's health."

Not so much mongering related
If you like Chinese food and super cute Chinese girls who are flirty as hell check out Peking in Cherry Grove Plaza. The girl that works the counter is just so damn adorable and likes to come and sit with you and flirt when they aren't busy. It's like an AMP with food, but no HE. LOL

I 'll bite. Send pm with contact info etc.
Non-contract hobby phone?
So what's the hot ticket on a hobby phone nowadays? I know Virgin Mobile has been recommended on here before, are they still the way to go?
Here's what I'm looking for:
* Can purchase the phone and refill minutes with cash.
* Can activate the phone without supplying my real name and address.
* Refill minutes that don't expire once activated.
* Data plan so I can check my hobby email address and various hobby related sites from it, to keep my real phone completely clean.
* Device that has wifi so I can do as much of my Internet access as possible over wifi instead of the data plan.
* The refill minutes need to also give me text messages and data access.
And in a really perfect world:
* A device that uses the same wall and car charging cables as my current Samsung Focus.
I saw the LG Optimus V at Best Buy, and I think that phone with a Virgin plan gets me most of what I want. I really like the rate plans, I could easily get by on their $25 plan which is unlimited text and data, and 300 minutes. The only thing I'm unclear about is whether the $25 top-up cards expire after 30 days. Anyone know?
