Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, of a sort. But that was my point, their argument was that legally I couldn't see it and that a doctor had to interpret the results for me. Um, somehow I don't think that you give that spiel to pregnant women.

Huh. I can see the "we're not allowed to interpret it" thing, as an x-ray technician told me that when she showed me my x-ray and pointed to where the break was....

Yeah, except at that point, I knew I had a cyst and only wanted to know how big it was. After I switched hospitals, I learned that it was all bullshit. Of course, this is also the hospital with the doctor who thought my problems were "all in my mind" and who, after I ended up in the emergency room and had my first (of many) sonograms, said that it didn't necessarily mean anything because "you have a lot going on down there."

I'm just glad Dylan emerged from that place unscathed.

By that he meant confusing lady parts I guess?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Have any of our lawyers or librarians or others done immigration work?

I think Stephanie does something related -- but you might try reposting the question in bitches, what with Frisco's effect on her posting time.

Thanks Amych!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The one ultrasound I recall having was borderline painful, but that owed more to the technician pressing a piece of plastic right between hip and thigh where I'd caught myself with a table corner than to the actual ultrasonic waves.

The standard thinking these days is that Metropolis is NYC. Gotham is in Jersey.

Gotham may be geographically located in New Jersey. I think in a metaphorical sense, it was definitely based on New York City, and Metropolis probably owes mostly to early 20th century NYC as well although the newspaper setting is probably Chicago-inspired.

I've had a number of different types of ultrasound and never had any pain. Just goop.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Grammar question:

Is it "Department staff maintain..." or "Department staff maintains..."? The former looks right to me, but Word's grammar checker is disagreeing.
