For lunch I had a giant vat of potato leek soup. It was good. Of course, I now recall that I was going to defrost some chicken for dinner. Didn't take the chicken out of the freezer. Dinner will probably be more potato leek soup, then.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I disagree with that title ("10 Things You Might’ve Been Better Off Not Knowing About Your Body") - it was cool to learn those things (although some I knew).

But there are definitely some things in there I can imagine people wishing they never knew. Hence, the "might've".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Way cool kitchen scale. Almost, but cool as remote-controlled laser combat cars.
I think people who study this sort of thing give waaaaaaaaaay more weight to the "friend" label on Facebook/LJ/MySpace than it deserves
So far, for me, friend on facebook means just about that. There's little enough posted that there's no point even reading the little if I don't care. LJ and Myspace are blogs and the next stage in the evolution of the personal web page (remember the /~ days?). Not the same thing in terms of consuming and publishing.

Oh yeah - I should have noted I was speaking for myself.

One of the folksy, “gosh durnit, that president sure is a funny feller” anecdotes in Robert Draper’s new book about George W. Bush, Dead Certain, is that Dubya is a big fan of Austin Powers and in particular, the character of Dr. Evil, imitating him often along the corridors of the White House.
Does this mean Bush will get a hairless cat?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
can you call your GP before going to the ER, so that he/she can communicate directly with the ER staff and tell them to NOT fuck around with you?
My GP isn't the guy who created the protocol, so there's this whole loop of he's got to find the specialist who talks to the ER. Last night they finally tracked my specialist down to Milwaukee, because my GP wasn't up on the protocol himself.
Can you call your specialist, then, before you go to the ER, so that your specialist can communicate directly with the ER staff?
I just feel like, whatever doctor it was who developed your treatment protocol, they need to talk directly to the ER staff whenever you go, rather than the ER staff looking through your files for a protocol that may or may not be in there, which, even if it IS in there, they still might not follow.
I mentioned to propo-drug you recommended to my specialist (did I already tell you this? my memory is shot) and he said there was only one guy at that hospital who would administer it--it requires an anaesthetist and is a high-impact drug. So it's on the last-resort list.
I don't mean this question in a snarky way, please understand that: how much worse are things going to have to get before you consider last-resort treatments? Because I would have considered your migraines to be at last-resort level when you started needing to go to the ER for treatment.
