one more questions...are we supposed to bring our confirmation of payment form from precheck with us?

Crap that would mean I'd have to reschedule an interview. Man, I just love doing everything last minute!!!!

Exactly my thoughts Kristian! So do we take our Pre-Check confirmation of payment with us to Lab Corp for this? I think I'm gonna try and go tomorrow at 12:30 which will be as we're leaving for the beach. I haven't drank any alcohol since Saturday night so I should be fine, right? Omg...I'm really nervous about this now! Lol

I'd be careful going without an appt on a Saturday Nikki. That place tends to fill up like crazy on a weekday, so on a weekend I'd think it would be 10x worse! But if your hubby doesn't mind waiting for you for (possibly) hours and you don't mind waiting that long, I say go for it.

DH would stay home with the kids. I guess I'd just sit and read the homework. Ugh. I don't want to wait for hours but I think it would be less stressful for me.

Yes, take the Precheck confirmation.

Ok...I'm getting paranoid too. Another stupid question...I wanna stop by after my Hep B vac on Thu, do you guys think it'll screw up any readings? LOL!

But, seriously, do you?

The form says they do drug screening starting at 8 but I called and the auto message says 8:30. If I am there right at 8:30 maybe I won't have to wait long. Fentons opens at 10am on Sat.

I doubt it would Kristian. Being vaccinated, you are being injected with the disease...not a drug. Correct????? Or have I learned nothing in micro?

LOL Nikki!!

Well, I've just read some things about the ETG alcohol test (not sure if this is what we're taking but it is a urine alcohol test that can detect the by-products of its metabolization up to 4 days after use). They're saying some false-positives can come up from things like toothpaste, hand sanitizer, and even some ripe fruits. I should think you'd be okay Kristian, but seriously I would worry a little bit about the rubbing alcohol swab they'll be putting on your arm before the injection. But that's just me and you know me....I'm very paranoid! Lol

I just opened a 1-L bottle of water and my goal is to drink this entire thing before dinner at 6! LOL

Yeah, I read that too, Andrea. Good point about the rubbing alcohol. I also read not to use mouthwash.
