GAH!!! The pain is mild right now, just someone mildly tapping it with a sledgehammer. Just don't make too much noise, turn on too much light or force me to cough or move my head quickly and I'm fine ( Read more... )

It is so frustrating to be happily typing along, get something going, and then, one tiny little slip of the fingers and it's irretrievably gone. Grr.

Well, what I was trying to say was that Jasper and I are getting a kitty this weekend. We're going to a kitty boat:

Home. Despite a few health issues going on, things are great. I´m with my wonderful husband in a gorgeous city with much cooler weather (than Phoenix) in a house that we can work on together, where anything I really need is close by or a tram ride away.

Even though I can´t work yet, there is plenty to do; like learning a new language, getting lots ( Read more... )

Yesterday, my nephew and I were getting the rest of my stuff shipped off. He's so cool for helping me with this, if you didn't see my MPSIMS thread. We had to stop at Wal-Mart and saw four police cars outside. He says, "They're probably getting someone for shoplifting." Sure enough, a few seconds later, some cops are trudging these sad looking ( Read more... )

I'm watching this show about her on PBS right now. What a dame! I would love it if they put all her shows on DVD. If anyone wants to buy me the absolute perfectest Christmas present...

I've been thinking about giving that a shot (haha!) since none of the other injections appear to be working.

My brother-in-law's co-worker had three acupuncture treatments and says that he's perfectly normal, and his ( Read more... )

My sister is slowly getting better. She is staying with her daughter right now. They can't do surgery on her orbit, so it is going to have to heal on its own. It's painful, but she's getting there. The police say that this man has attacked several other women in the area. Apparently, he's a serial rapist and he has attacked three other women this ( Read more... )

I almost got into another car accident tonight. I almost hit a van head on. My mom, the dog and I were on our way back to her place after more packing/sorting at my apartment. We were travelling down Grand Avenue, just getting ready to get on the freeway. We had the left turn light, so it was all clear. The problem was, there was a train blocking ( Read more... )

What a wonderful week! Jasper arrived on the third, and we went to an English pub the next day across from where they were doing some great fireworks. So, when it came time, we went across the street, reclined on the grass and watched the works. Gorgeous ( Read more... )

http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=264330&page=5I'd have posted, but I hate getting into a thread that's already pages long. That little girl definitely needs some help, glad she's getting it, but needs to also try to quit getting ( Read more... )
