Man Says He Used Chainsaw to Fight Starving Mountain Lion
I'm not even going to call that guy a pussy for taking a chainsaw when he goes camping.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

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

Oh Teppy! I read that as your Stepfather... being a skippy skimmy is an easy way to scare the hell out of yourself.
I'm so sorry to hear about his Father though. What a terrible time. I really hope there is misunderstanding and/or pessimism and that he'll be ok. He really could be ok. You are all in my thoughts.

It started as pneumonia (single pneumonia?) at least a month ago, or more. And antibiotics weren't working, but he felt okay. (He's one of those play-through-the-pain stoic types, though.)
I told my stepdad that if the antibiotics weren't working, they really need to have him cough up some nastiness and culture it to see exactly what bacteria are causing it, so they know which antibiotic to use, since some bacteria are totally resistant to some antibiotics.
As far as I know, they didn't do that until this week, which makes me so fucking angry.
But then, there's also the part where stepdad's father, despite having pneumonia, has been doing yardwork and housework all along, because like I said, he's one of those just-tough-it-out men. So he REALLY wasn't doing himself any favors, and I'm angry at him, too.
Man. I call the doctor when I *sneeze,* practically, and this 75-year-old man was mowing his enormous lawn and trimming hedges with double fucking pneumonia. He's a brick.
And my poor mom is totally stressed, because she's still really upset about being fired (which is totally justified), and now she's trying to be strong for my stepdad, and she's just fried.

{{Steph's family}} I hope he makes it through this to be aggravatingly cavalier about his health in the future.

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

I got 100%. Not bad considering about 5 of them were just pure guesses.

Lawyer-types: my mom is a notary, and wants to know if she's legally allowed to notarize the living will and power of attorney for my stepdad's father, since she's his daughter-in-law.
