Found a LJ entry I began earlier this year during a cognitive moment and forgot to post. It's yet another one of those strange kinds of conversations I have with my kid.

Did you, by any chance, catch the episode of Oprah that the woman who suffered the chimp attack was on? It's so, so sad. Her face really is gone. she's had bunches of surgery, of course, including plastics, but I can only guess that the damage was so severe there's little to base any area of plastics on ( ... )

Yes, the monkey business is better left to those with training. Such situations often aren't fair for the animal or the people involved.

I actually despise fb, but almost everyone I knew on lj had gone over there, and I missed them. I tried going back and forth, but with so few posts I was often just sad when I came over here. I've actually decided I wanted to start being on lj more again, though. There are things I can't post on fb. My mom is on fb, as is one of her sisters, an aunt that I'm very close to, cousins, etc. etc. etc. So when I recently had to have an emergency blood transfusion. It was an iron issue, so I knew I would be fine, but I didn't want my mother worrying about me. I was right. The transfusion fixed it, and it didn't go back down. For some reason my iron dips really low every few years. Usually they give me supplements, but this time ( ... )
