I had to edit three times just for spelling and typos, editing for content as well would leave me trailing far behind the rest of you....
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just joined Facebook (where I believe I am the oldest person BY A MILE). I am doing it to keep up with nieces and nephews. Any Buffistas on there, let me know and I will be thrilled to friend you.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Oh yeah - I remember hearing that. Is that direct pressure on the wound? or on the artery above it?
On the wound.
The first aid class that I took was pretty clear that you should never use a tourniquet unless absolutely nothing else worked, it had been bleeding even through the pressure and elevation for a good while, and there was absolutely no way to get to a hospital. (Pretty much all first aid courses now are focused on learning how to figure out whether an injury requires medical attention, and how to stop the injury from getting worse until the medical attention gets there. You've got to take special "Wilderness First Aid" courses to learn stuff like how to wrap bandages and stuff like that.)

Yeah, but sexiest by a mile and half.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. I thought you had to be in school to sign up for Facebook.

You've got to have a .edu email address. An alumni one is fine.

Apparently not--it says anyone can join.
Oy. But having done that, it doesn't seem I can join a McGill network without a McGill email address. Dude, I'm old. Where would I get one of those?
eta: Huh. I can register for one at McGill! How lovely and first world. Won't end in edu, though.
They asked me for my student ID number. I really wonder if what came to mind was it.

Oh, interesting.
The network thing is a bit of a pain. I was able to join the network for my current school fine, but I can't join the network for my undergrad school without an email address from them, and they don't do alumni email addresses. (Or, at least, they didn't.) (edit: huh. they do now. I wonder when that started.)

Yeah, I can't join the network for my former job either. I wonder what they do about having you in the network once you leave one and no longer have a valid email address there?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Rocked as a bank and you just had to live there to join. So when I moved, I asked how long I had before I had to close it. Turns out you need to live there to join but once you have? Forever and ever baby. They are still my bank.
