Totally unrelated to anything, anyone have experience with the Swiffer Vacuum Sweeper [link] ? I saw it at BJs yesterday and wondered if it would be a good purchase. I have all hard wood/tile floors, and my vacuum really doesn't work on it, and I kill my back sweeping. Would this be a good possibility, seeing as I can't afford a Roomba?
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

Including chemical cauterization to stop chronic nosebleeds
I've had that! I don't remember if it hurt because that whole bit is a blur, especially after I had to have my right sinus cavity packed with gauze because an artery had burst after exposure to toxic mold in the bedroom of our new apartment. Still, the next step was surgery, so it ended well.

Thanks, Steph!
Val, if Steph hadn't shown up, that would have been a good idea. Thank you for using your brain, since mine seems to be at the cleaners.
I think my mom uses and likes it that, Val, but she's not known for her eat-off-they're-so-clean floors, so...

I'm not either, but I'm trying to be better. With two dogs here, I was sweeping every day, and that combined with the hip injury almost did me in. I think if it were easier, I'd do it more often. And I need to be doing it more often thanks to the allergies.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Wow, don't know what happened...
KB did something funky. I think it had to do with ComicPress randomly renaming a future strip and then it...choked on it or something.
Anyway, it's fixed and KB seems to be back up and running. If you tried to look at it earlier and it timed out on you, try again. And sorry.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
It isn't as painful as it sounds because anesthetic is applied first. But it's weird to walk around for several hours with a numb right nostril.
Hee. A friend of mine had her cervix numbed for a procedure. She said it was really peculiar walking around being able to tell where her cervix was -- it was like someone had stuck a walnut in her.

...and my doctor is out until Friday. The receptionist isn't willing to give the request to a different doctor in the practice. She's not willing to suggest any other route. She's happy for me to wait until Friday.
I need a nap.

I'm happy to be whapping her upside the head every half hour between now and Friday.
Find a new doctor, Deena. One with a staff who give's a rat's ass for his patients.

“Not dead yet!”
The receptionist isn't willing to give the request to a different doctor in the practice.
The receptionist? WTF?? Where's her medical degree that she can make that call?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
The receptionist isn't willing to give the request to a different doctor in the practice.
Wow. That's so NOT her decision. That's the point where I'd be going to the office, with Aidan and Kara in tow, and demanding to see a goddamn doctor.
No receptionist is qualified to determine whether or not a patient should wait 3 1/2 days for MEDICAL GODDAMN CARE.
