Maybe Dana should try a cold compress on one arm, and a hair dryer on the other. For purely scientific reasons!

I don't think the devoutness that prompts one to display Calvin praying on the back of one's car comes from the same fuck-you-and-the-lawyer-you-rode-in-on place.

I could actually see the impulse that prompts that Calvin praying sticker being very "fuck-you-and-the-lawyer-you-rode-in-on". As in "My God is bigger than your legal C&D order, nyah nyah."

It's all a big ass-haberdashery in my opinion.

My ex the medical student described her Dermatology rotation thus: "If it's wet, dry it; if it's dry, wet it. If they're on steroids, take them off. If they're not on steroids, put them on. That pretty much covers dermatology treatments."

So I'm thinking the blow dryer helps to dry.

Dana, I'd just say -- hairdry your arm again.

Also, the vampire guy who's running for president has a website that is funnier than the Real Ultimate Power ninja Web site. It includes a list of who he plans to impale once he beomes president: [link]

I don't think I'm that coordinated. I'd have a better chance with the circular saw.

Doctor, incidentally, says the next step is seeing a dermatologist. They don't have an opening until Monday. So it's big drugs and the hair dryer for a while longer.

There's a chance of snow on saturday.

AND it was snowing this time last week. Wacky! I'm secretly (well not secret anymore) that it snows enough that my friend I'm supposed to run an 8k with on Sunday morning decides not to run and so I won't have to either...I've been walking like a fiend but i haven't run in MONTHS. Except a little bit last night pusing my friends' twins in their racing stroller. That was fun!

It was 73 degrees yesterday. Last night, one of my neighbors told me she'd heard a forecast that predicted 1 degree on Sunday (although I don't know if that was a predicated high or low--I hope it's a low!).

Well, I'm pretty sure the barometric pressure is changing and making my head want to explode. I'm trying caffeine and Benadryl right now, since I made a deal with Dana about not stabbing myself in the head.

Edit for I'm Totally on Drugs spelling.

From the Chicago Tribune's weather forecast for today:

A mild start but a stunning late-morning temperature plunge looms as winds shift northeast.

So your sinuses are correct, shrift! Um, yay for accurate sinuses?

ETA: And I don't know where that neighbor got "1 degree predicted for Sunday," unless it was a potential windchill number, because the 7-day forecast has the coldest day being Friday at 25 degrees for a low, mid-30s for a high. IOW, a typical March day in Chicagoland!

Bastard Canadians are sending us their air again.
