Ginger, parental-deterioration-related stress SUCKS. But it's good your mother is okay.
We need to help Omnis come up with a better story. Kicked by a pole dancer. Attacked by an old lady who thought he was trying to take her slot machine. Made the mistake of dissing Wayne Newton.
Kicked by Wayne Newton when Omnis tried to take Wayne's slot machine.
Was nobly wounded when trying to protect a helpless tourist from one of those shills on the corners who are handing out business cards for hookers.
A former boss was at an international conference in Rio de Janeiro (sp?). He WAS mugged by a hooker.
Mugged by a Wayne Newton lookalike hooker when he tried to take his slot machine.
BTW, saw StW last night. Everything is cool. It was indeed him just doing the introvert turtle thing, and me doing the insecure freakout thing. He met B and some of my other peeps, but he didn't realize who B was until afterwards.
Oh dear o_a, sending you healing~ma.

A stripper needs to be involved
...and I said to her,
these are not that sort of poles
but I have to admit she was doing a pretty good job until we both came crashing down on the pavement.
I love the dress story. And so gorgeous. I wish we could have seen more full-length pictures.
goodness Ginger. I hope your mother is okay.
Update re: diabetes
So my doctor is impressed that I am doing so well managing my blood sugar. She told me I need to step down on the meds and maybe not take them at all and keep monitoring to make sure all is well.
I had to show her how anal retentive I am with my color coded blood glucose monitoring. Gotta love google docs. Dr. was also surprised I have lost weight (apparently most people gain) soon after diagnosis. Whatever, I ain't never going to be Twiggy.
She told me about a patient who said he always had brown rice with his Chinese food - not realizing that fried rice is not brown rice.
Good for you, le nubian. I don't think I've ever impressed a doctor with how well I was taking care of myself.
Think up a better story to tell people though - if you come back from Vegas with visible wounds, there should be a really wild and crazy story about it.
Hey, what happens in Vegas...
