Didn't need to be said twice.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I would never use a hotel room in town.
Kinda depends on the town. I actually have a longish list of SF hotels that look utterly gorgeous and quirky and fun that I'd love to steal off to with Hec for a seekrit weekend.

I would never use a hotel room in town. I don't see the point, unless you're escaping your children.
I think that we have a different perspective as single people. If I had a honey, I would be far more inclined to enjoy that kind of present, I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, with the airline gift certificate I might feel obligated to use it for a flight I would have taken anyway so, while it would be nice to save the money, it wouldn't be much of a treat.
I agree with that totally.
bon, you need to see a doctor. No matter how you accomplish that, you shouldn't feel stupid.
What she said. I went to a walk-in clinic at Mt Sinai a few times that was just all right, but not ER prices, either. Not that you want to go all the way up there, but I bet St. Vincent's or someone has an urgent care non-ER kind of place you can call and go right into.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Maybe a hotel gift cert for a chain? And tell him the idea is for him to use it in town, but then he has the option to use it out of town as well?
I really, really like this idea.
bon bon, emergency care works well. And the wait times are a lot less than ER, at least around here.

St. Vincent's has an 800 number you can call to get a doctor referral: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've been to urgent care once or twice, and yeah, if you don't have a doc you can get a random doctor to x-ray you and give you a prognosis. I agree with all the recs.
I'd use a hotel in town, even by myself. Sometimes I don't want to be the one with any responsibility.

I'm single and I would totally stay in a hotel in town by myself. If I had $500 to burn. So I'd love that as a gift. Hotel stuff is so nice! The sheets that someone else washes and the towels you can leave on the floor! Not to mention room service.

Thrive to spite them
I joined Facebook last night and reconnected with an old boyfriend. I tentatively sent him a message and he sent me one back saying he regreted losing touch with me. (this would be an ex boyfriend I ended on good terms with).
