Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I should either take my comforters to the laundrymat or clean my apartment. I want to either take a nap or take a bath.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Corwood, that was totally interesting and sad in some cases. Thanks for sharing. I like how one of the families recipes was for pig's knuckles (EW).

I was particularly interested in the difference in how much fresh produce they eat. Like, Ecuador: nothing BUT produce; Mexico and Egypt: PRODUCE; Japan and the U.S. and Mongolia: No produce; Chad: ... nothing at all.

What's that screaming and groaning I'm hearing?

So tell me, do I really want to go to Pennsic this year? Pre-reg closes today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do you have anything to wear?

Thanks for the guidelines with the letter, guys. I may or may not put kat-like justification in. Still undecided.

Next question up, though: where do I send it? I was all gung ho, but not thinking. I'll make sure insurance gets a copy but I'm really blanking on where to start.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Definitely want, Emily. Practical and all that, I don't know.

On the filing thing, my understanding of a separate section for Mc is that in spoken English, it's often difficult to tell the difference between McXX, MacXX, Macxx, etc. Thus, they are all filed together, separately from the other Ms, so when someone asked for the file, you won't have to figure which spelling. I'm not sure how relevant that is today, but I think that's the reason for the tab.

Yeah - the flag is good. Or the Statue of Liberty.

I like the Statue of Liberty, Stephanie. I think it gets at the good of the US, without as many political overtones. And although I'm not an immigrant, I would think it would resonate especially. As a side note, my dad always gets weepy at the Emma Lazarus poem. He's not generally a very emotional guy, and it's kind of disconcerting.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

where do I send it?

insurance; patient ombudsman if there is one; the head of the hospital, and if there is a separate head of Er, there as well.

If you tell/email me the name of the hospital, I can research it and try to put together a list of people and addresses.

Lee, that would rock. Expect an insent in a moment.

Cool. I should have time before I leave, but if not, I can finish it up tonight.
