Fucking disability paperwork. They want the dates of every hospitalization since 8/1/2003. They want every doctor I've seen since 8/1/2003. I have no freaking clue.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Oh, god, I know that paperwork. The ones I've filled out say "all hospitalizations and treatments". It always goes to extra pages. I've had to start keeping a log.

You know, you'd think I would have learned, but nope. I just torture myself every time it comes up.

Heh. I bet we could track down your hospitalization dates from your posts in Bitches.

Ew, that sucks a lot, VW. I'm sorry.
Cindy, Julia is SO CUTE. And DANGEROUS. Wow.
I like getting things in the mail! Yay ordering stuff online. I got three things in the mail today--one from eBay, one for my Secret Santa person (OK, a bit late, but I ordered it before Christmas), and the corset I'm borrowing from Plei. (Which--wow. I think you think I'm much smaller than I am. Those laces are gonna be far far far out, all over my back. But the front will still look good, so that's what counts!)

It shouldn't be too bad--it's the same size as the one we put on you at the first F2F, and I could wear it cheerfully as a size 12. (It's the one I wore Saturday night in Chicago.)
Remember that there's supposed to be a gap of a couple of inches in the back.

Now that's a good memory.

heh. Well, I think some of it will depend on how tight I can/will lace it--not very, since I'll be singing. But hopefully a few inches smaller.
(It's very pretty in front, though!! So that's awesome)

All is well that ends in pizza.
Susan,
So, I have two questions:
1. What are the odds it's not my fault?
Pretty good. It's likely coincidental.
2. What are the odds we won't need a new vacuum cleaner?
Hard to tell.
It sounds like something has clogged the beaters. You should be able to (unplug it first!) turn the unit over, look for two tabs the hold the bottom cover on, then once the cover is off, you can see if the beater is blocked, or if the motor that turns the beaters with a belt can be moved.
If it's blocked, see if you can dig or gouge the blockage with an old butter knife or some other implement of destruction.
If the belt is broken, that can be replaced.
