Yep, I have seen that site, Plei. Thanks.
I think that the hypermobility type of EDS is more common than the other types. (My doctor's not sure whether I have classical type or hypermobility type -- I've got some symptoms of classical type, but I'm a few symptoms short of meeting the official criteria. There are some genetic tests, but they're expensive and my doctor doesn't really see the point, since there would be no difference in treatment if they gave it one name or the other.)
We should all wear little sashes like Girl Scouts and put on all the buttons that we don't want to have to explain to people: Divorced & Remarried, Shared Custody in East Bay, Author, Dead Mom, A's Fan.
Love this idea... but... isn't that called baggage? ;)
For me, I wouldn't want to have a sash. I actually like the process of getting to know another person, having all those points revealed in their own time.
Love this even more. Very true.
Dead sexy, but you wouldn't know it because you won't look past the glasses.
but...but... I like glasses. They usually make folks MORE dead sexy... but that's me. I'm a freak I guess.
My sash? Oy. Ya, I think it would also be in the Toga category. Maybe it could be simplified to: Complex.
Should mine say, May Become A Werewolf At The Next Full Moon?
No! No, that's
my
badge!
eyes half-healed bite nervously.
Hmmm. In the Brownies the only badge I ever had on my sash was the Hostess badge, showing a cup of tea, which one earned by making a cup of tea and some fairy cakes. But I quite like the idea of this selection of badges thing. Hmmm. Off the top of my head I'm thinking:
Geeky; Bi; Bookish; Word Whore; Agnostic; Surprisingly Shy; Werewolf; Militant About Apostrophes; Livin' La Vida Low Carb
So, is there any reason to go with Tylenol over Ibuprofen for the soreness from the tetanus shot?
Post-Toasties?
Should mine say, May Become A Werewolf At The Next Full Moon?
No! No, that's my badge!
So that's where you've been! How have you been, otherwise?
My general stance is to go with Tylenol only when it's specifically indicated, because of the liver issues. So for localized soreness, not due to fever or other illness I probably wouldn't. But not a doctor or a Steph, so...
The boys both complained after their tetanus shots, but they turned down drugs. And, ouch!
Ok, Brenda, that's good enough for me, it's just too early in the morning for me to do my own thinking. Thanks.
Sox, ~ma to you. There is no coffee, yet, so I can't figure out what you need it for, exactly -- do with it what you will!
Aims, that really sucks. It looks to me like the Michigan Payment of Wages and Fringe Benefit Act says that if you have a contract that spells out you don't get vacation days paid on termination, then you don't. If the contract is silent, then I think what Perkins found applies. She's closer to being an employment lawyer than I am. My degree does look pretty on the brag wall, though, because I paid for the fancy hand-done calligraphy.
eta: Aims, if he has someone new in your old job, I think you should call the office (when he's out) and leave a long, detailed message for the boss with him/her for the boss about this matter and how it fits in with the history of problems.
TGIF! It's graduation day here, so there will be free booze this afternoon after all the dull speeches.
While Ex-Boss is indeed an asshat and shady and immoral, he is within the law to not pay the vacation days. I'm trying very hard not to take it personally - he would do this to anyone who worked for him.
I'm much, much, much better off and so is my family and that's what matters.
Did you know that if the coffee is good and freshly ground and brewed you don't need 17 sugars and half a cup of milk to drink it?? I hadn't the slightest.
I would totally have a sash - but not like the Girl Scouts, ike Miss America. It would say, "Empress. All you need to know."
