Oh Seska, I totally understand. That's life, and when you collect several of them into a message boards, there will be times of good and bad combined.
Shir, you sound so much like Nilly there I just grinned when I read it.
Seska, I'm so sorry your de-facto FiL is going through this, it has got to be scary as hell. Lots and lots of ~ma!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NORA!!!!
Erika, when I worked at PP (I was a temp they called in pretty regularly) I think all or most of our physicians were volunteers. The schedule rotated heavily and it seemed like most of them were there a few times a month.
And I'll knock wood for the doctor's visit today, Hil. Now that your Mom has been sprung maybe we can find out what the hell is wrong with you.
Well, Aims, that definitely does not sound like a "cha-Ching!" type of situation to me. I mean, they don't need a telethon, but...
ETA: Thanks, Trudy.
In honor of Vortex's dad.
I TOTALLY thought of my dad when I saw that on TV. Especially the part with him wandering around the aisles. :)
Seska, ~ma for the Girl's family.
Happy Birthday, Nora!
Edited because while I hope Nora would also have a happy birtday, that's not what this is.
Was this thread where people were talking about the xkcd tech support flow chart? And printing it out to give to parents/bosses, etc?
You can get it as a t-shirt now: [link] Nifty!
I'm seeing Randall Munroe next Monday!
Seska, is your partner flying to Houston as in Houston, Texas? If so, M.D. Anderson is the place to be, and hopefully, they'll take care of your girl and her dad.
