Now tagless for your comfort.

But putting it in a database let me identify other factors. As it turns out, the guy who scheduled the season gave his team a totally cushy schedule. Whodathunk? My team actually does have the worst schedule on several fronts, but the league Pres also got a shitty schedule with 7 game scheduled on two day intervals. That's the most by far, and is a complete strain on your pitching staff.

That's a good tool to use to explain to people why you're so pissed. I immediately thought of the pitching schedule when you initially posted about it. DH tells horror stories of kids getting their pitching arms ruined in little league--and that's just crazy. I know it's impossible to offer everyone a great schedule but you need to spread the inconvenience around. I'm sure there's plenty to share.

Okay, really -- all the tests came back negative for blockage/velveeta/infarction, so the doctor just lowered the Lipitor dose for now and said they'll keep a close eye on the chest pain and his cholesterol level.

Good. I know your dark humor is your way of coping, but when I read that he drove himself to the hospital because the ambulance would not go through the drive though, I *may* have laughed out loud.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

#1. He bogarts the JZ, Matilda and Emmett love.

Emmett has a lot of love, and his Mom and Matilda get quite a lot of it.

I'm not the number one bogarter of Matilda's love. I get my share, mind, but there are two other people in the house who go after her like she was made of chocolate. It's fun seeing JZ and Emmett bond in their Matilda love. It's first baby love for them, so it's a little different than what I'm experiencing.

And while I have no doubts about my JZ love supply, Matilda does have dibs at the moment.

Thus ends my rebuttal!

What is even happening?

I think some people have to vent in order to push past (at least for some issues). Some people have to zip their lip and grin and bear it. It's personality and situation dependent.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Truth? I stole that line from the aforementioned source-of-tagline Titus. (But only because it's TRUE.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I've always gotten the sense from you, though, that you think it's better to push on past that which causes stress, rather than to coddle/enable/malinger. Am I wrong on that?

For me, but different people like different shit. t /Jesse

For me, but different people like different shit.

But not pushing on through *doesn't* equal malingering/coddling/enabling. And -- please correct me if I'm wrong -- I get the feeling that you think that it *does.*

Which, when I'm unable to shrug off a stressor, makes me feel like I'm a malingering failure for not being able to push on through.

Does that make sense?

Ugh. We're doing all that stuff to try and keep her cool, but she's still hovering around 103. I've put in a call both to her primary doctor and my mother the nurse.

We'll see what they say. Hopefully, if the doctor wants her to come in, he'll have us just come to his clinic and check us out in person, rather than having her go to an ER and get admitted. She really doesn't want to go back to the hospital at all.
