I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Me, I just found out I've got gallstones. I will not be asking for anything that results from the procedure.

I had my gallbladder removed. I asked for pictures and got them. I wish I'd asked for the gallbladder, though, because the hospital pathologist had the (choose your weapon: stones or gall) to charge me $500 for disposal of it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How would you have disposed of it?

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove

...$500 for disposal of it.

Did this include the vault and the eternal flame? Oy.

The unsteadiness of my hands make me flinchy at the thought of the pen cap method.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

No, probably not.

Groundhog's Day isn't until Thursday, so it probably will.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Kate, gallstones? yoiks and owe. poor you!

GA! It was surprisingly good. I thought the part with Izzie and the teen and the baby was great. I mean, I am big with the Izzie admiration so I thought that she said what I would want to say to a teen even though it is stepping over a line. And, I'm also moved that we don't necessarily know what happened.

The deathwatch part was actually heartbreaking. I'm pretty much a Meredith hater and I was wrecked on her behalf given her mom. Do you think she knows about the affair between the Chief and her mom ?

Cristina having to apologize was so the right thing. and sure I missed Bailey as much if not more than you'd expect, I thought that her replacement was fantastic (and I kept wanting her to sing something from Spam-A-Lot) because okay to be happy cheerleader. It doesn't make you less competent than acting like a Nazi. I think it also showed, to me at least, how close Bailey and Cristina are in terms of temperment and personality, though Bailey has more grit.

The almost fight in the bar between Cristina and the nurse was so freaking great. George was awesome. He continues to grow and be less wishy washy and I was all loving his standing for what he believed. I also adored the scene where Meredith and Izzie crawl in his bed. But does he have new paint or linens or something? his room looked different.

Great episode.

Christ. Well, I've got a fresh pack of smokes, a charged iPod, and four bars less than a block away, so I have a backup plan in case Monday decides it's fighting a cage match for possession of Tuesday.

EXACTLY!! I may have to run out and get QTips RIGHT NOW!!

I keep a small container in my desk. I periodically get some moistness in my ears, and I have to get it out RIGHT THEN. I also keep them next to my bed because it sometimes happens when I sleep and if I wake up, I can't get back to sleep until I clean it out. t /ear wax issues
