Shir, that is absolutely awful. I'm sorry.

Our wings are not tired
It's complications from Mom's UTI that put her back into the hospital, sounds like it was not another stroke, which is good. Hopefully I'll get some more information out of my family today. I do know that she's got a drug resistant infection going on, so a few of the regular antibiotics that they've used in the past for her UTIs aren't workable this time.

ND, that is a common problem with chronic UTIs. You may want to find out if they can put her on a low dose maintence antibiotic after this clears up, which could reduce her chance of getting another one.

ION- getting closer to getting the new MacBookPro from work. They have a model selected, now it's just about how much RAM and what software. :: makes grabby fingers ::
I'm just about to buy a new one, too -- we can geek out together!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Cleavage and pants, smonster. It's a literally deadly combination in certain areas of my city, if you're a woman.
GRRRRRRRR. For once I feel that a scantily clad superheroine would be appropriate. Forgive my ignorance, but is there any use in reporting that kind of harassment to authorities, or doing something similar to hollabacknyc?

ND, I'm glad to hear that it wasn't a stroke. I suppose they've already tried cranberry supplements?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
ND, good to hear it wasn't a stroke!
Shir, If you are up for it, I say go back in that zone, but flash mob style. Get a group of friends to walk around, but not close. Then when you (or another volunteer) get's tripped, fan out and find the trip line, and hunt those motherfuckers down! I know, I'm a pacifist, but it kinda boils my blood. Maybe not kill them. I dunno, maybe rub boobs in their face. But then again, that might get whole other groups to start doing it for the free boobage. Either way, ((( ))), and hope the scrapes heal quickly.
I'm just about to buy a new one, too -- we can geek out together!Yipee! I'm guessing you will get yours first. Dunno how slow the University moves at spending, especially at the end of the fiscal year in a financial crisis.

I really doubt that reporting to the authorities would help. But I'm emailing the feminist HUJI group to see if something can be done.

I'm still in the waiting room. My appointment was scheduled for nearly an hour ago. Fux is still on. I may need an ailibi soon.
