Bed space for one or two
Since one of my roomies has failed to respond to messages, and has left no alternative way to communicate (for the last 10 days!) in spite of having my cell number, I'm having to assume that they're no longer interested in rooming with me.

My daddy.

Just, Dammit!
My dad's in the hospital...Yesterday sometime during the night, he collapsed a lung. He came downstairs pale, sweating, and barely able to breathe, complaning of chest pains. Chest pains of any type get an ambulance call in my house...He's doing okay now, or at least as okay as a man with a chest tube in can be...Once they got the lung reinflated, ( Read more... ) -
