I'm sorry Drew, that sucks. Not literally, obviously, but still.
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, Drew, that really does, non-literally, suck.
DCJ, do you know when you get your sleep study results?

Ack. I'm sorry, Drew. May feeding tube #2 be better and easier on you, and may you get better and leave this hospital ASAP.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I hope that whatever they do makes you feel better, Drew.
And, here are the instructions to the math department in my university. Thought you'd like to read: [link]
Awesome. (BTW, the new Conservative prayer book for the High Holidays no longer uses "awesome" as the English translation of the Hebrew "norah," because the rabbis writing it decided that "awesome" sounds too slangy now and doesn't have the traditional "deserving of awe" meaning for most people any more. They're also not using "salvation" for "geula," because they say that people don't use the word salvation anymore, so they're using "help" or "deliverance" instead. I'm not sure who decided that "deliverance" is more commonly used in modern American English than "salvation," because to me, both of them seem equally prayer-language rather than speaking-language.)

All is well that ends in pizza.
DCJ, do you know when you get your sleep study results?
2pm today.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Good to see your pixels, Drew. Nose tube, ugh.

As a person who speaks Israeli Hebrew, I agree with the Rabbis about "awesome" (norah now only holds the meaning of "really really bad" in speaking Israeli Hebrew), but I agree with you about geula.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
In the church I grew up in (which was slightly to the, um, more right-wing end of the Christian spectrum) we used to sing a hymn that started with "Our God is an awesome God". Being aged about seven at the time, I couldn't help but imagine God in shades giving Jesus a high-five while we sang this.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There was some hymm we sang that had a line about bringing "Peculiar honors for our King." Yeah, pretty much any odd word in a hymm would amuse me.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Wishing you tons of ~ma always, Drew. Here's hoping the tubes do their work of giving your innards a chance to rest and recover and HULK SMASH the infections ASAP.
