Sorry about crankiness and other problems, vw. (Very good to see you this weekend, BTW)
On the other hand, my honey has made me fruit salad, a TJ's olive, sun-dried tomato and feta stuffed chicken sausage, and stewed strawberries for breakfast. All your deliciousness and nummy smells are belong to me.
It was great to see you too, Sean!
"I told him not to pop that gum, one more time. And he did."
"So I took the shotgun off the wall and fired two warning shots... into his head."
"He ran into my knife. He ran into my knife ten times."
Oh, shit. Way to convince MM I'm not scary.
Way to convince MM I'm not scary.
Yeah, 'cause that was likely.
"No, no...sweet as pie.
...Murder pie."
Edgewater Cafe is the name of the Mexican joint, and yes, the place I'm talking about is next to it (A Passage To India). It is delish.
Does anyone know, is the original still in Magnolia? I LIVED there when I was in college.
Whoops. Probably have a mental block on that as our primary consultant company is Edgewater Technologies and I'm still a little freaked out about what happened there.
If we're not the same person, we're close.
Of course I'm not a robot. Currently my robots are being tooled up for the march north.

billytea, IS it an engagement visit???
I have a hernaiated disc between the L4 & L5 vertibra.
That's the most common spot for a disc to herniate. Which is no consolation, I realize, but you're in good company, AND because it's so common, doctors have gotten better and better at treating/fixing it.
It's fun when the doctor looks at the MRI report and says, "Wow. You're younger than I am with a back like this? Were you ever in an accident?" *sigh*
Pfft. I was 31 when I had my surgery. My feeling is -- you recover more easily and more quickly when you're young, b/c your body has only started to fall apart a little bit.
The good thing is that she whipped out her prescription pad and I've got some good painkillers and some flexeril.
HELL yes. Now, then. Take them 'round the clock, even if you get to your assigned time and don't really have any pain. The point is to keep a steady level of drug in your body so that the pain can't return.
Pardon the pontificating, but I literally feel your pain, and all I can do is recommend what worked for me. Until you know how the specialist wants to treat it -- traction, steroid shots, physical therapy -- the most important thing is pain management.
And now I climb down off my soapbox and go unpack from the F2F.
