Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I'll be dark this weekend, as I'm going to a con and won't be back until Monday afternoon.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

minor good news :

HgA1c is a bloodtest that I take to see how my blood sugar ( glocose levels) Normal is between 5 and 6. If you are diabetic they want it under 7 and my doctor wants it under 6.6 about 6 months ago mine was 5.7 ( it was 7.x when first suspected) It is now 5.2 ya!

this means 2 things 1) even my bad days aren't that bad and 2) no more blood drawn for this - for another year!

actually, though minor , it feels like a major accomplishment.

I'm getting the pig!

Hopefully someone else has gone through this and has a hopeful outcome.
My dog Bailey had arthroscopic surgery on his right front leg last week and the vet showed me photos of what they found.
The cartilage around his elbow was like mush and he believes that the cartilage may be deteriorating thoughout his body. Given time, the cartilage will completely wear away.
He's only four years old now and I don't want to think about the fact that I may have to put him down in another year or so due to the amount of pain he'll eventually be in all the time. If any Buffista has heard of this or gone through it, happy for any tips to help improve his chances. Profile addy is good.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Going dark, probably indefinitely. Anyone who needs me for anything (backup, support, writing stuff), my email works fine.

Our wings are not tired

Thanks!

A little tempjobma NYC wards would be appreciated.

Tomorrow I "try out" at a new firm and if they like me I may have an income again!

Surely I can be charming and intelligent for a day?

Re-posting in the right place (sorry):

So if I was supposed to see you in Baltimore this weekend?

That's right out. Just had to cancel my flights due to dropped connections by the airline. Got a full refund, but am v. v. angry.
