I'd have to buy a whole new wardrobe if I worked anywhere with a dress code. Our office's dress code is that you have to be wearing clothes.
Yeah, me too.
And I have hobbit feet! I have two pair of them. When I'm not wearing hobbit feet (which I mostly save for times when I'll be doing a lot of walking), I wear the Vivo Barefoots. Except for right now, when I'm wearing super cheap close-out section flip flops from Target. (I have two pair of those. They meet my minimalist footwear needs, and were under $1.25 each.)
So, apparently my mom DID have a couple of ministrokes in the past.
She is just waiting for results to come back from this morning's MRI to see what's what...and is biting at the walls to get out of the hospital. Not only do I hope she is released today because the tests come back ok, but also because of the poor staff -- hospitals ma...ke her batshit crazy-anxious
health-ma to your mom, Erin.
Erin - the MRI will show dead spots in her brain, which is what you get from a stroke. Best to catch it now rather than leave it go - ending up "DED" as your sister put it is bad; what's worse (IMHO) is ending up with paralysis, aphasia, all the other goodies that a stroke can leave you with.
My father had a series of little strokes that left him with uncertain balance, slurred speech, memory problems ... all of which went undetected because (1) he refused to see a doctor for much of anything and (2) he was an alcoholic and the symptoms were pretty much what he was like when drunk ... only not as nasty.
I had two strokes four years ago and was phenomenally lucky - I walked away from them at about 95% of what I was before and, after six months, at about 99%. These days I watch my blood pressure, take a blood thinner, and am grateful.
Toddson, we are grateful too.
What the Kitty of Zen said.
Mom~ma to Erin.
Ok, I know I am obsessed, but my coworker also told me that Johannes Mehserle (who shot Oscar Grant) was not born in America (but was now a citizen). I cannot find that confirmed or denied anywhere (all I can see was that he was raised from the age of 4 in CA).
Nevermind- I see that he was born in Germany (but that was pretty hard to find.)
Still her thesis that since he wasn't american, the people had to hold back on crying racism, since he wasn't raised here sort of goes out the window when he moved here at 4.
Also, she was very angry about the mom being on TV yelling, and said that SHE should be in jail for not raising her child not to be a criminal.
Yikes, Erin. Good luck to your mom.
There's nothing inherently casual about beaches. It's not their fault people keep showing up mostly naked.
I think nature is inherently casual.
