Poor Pix and ND! I hope this all gets resolved well and soon.
amyth, wonderful to hear your brother's surgery went well!
Trudy, ~ma still going out to your aunt. Never too much of it! Also, the Hello Kitty Docs are an Excellent choice.
Connie, too many guts? That's both disturbing and awesome. Glad they figured it out and can do something for him.
Spidra, good fortune to you in your VO work!
House~ma, Seska!
Breathing~ma, Daniel! With O2 sat levels under 50, no wonder you're tired all the time! Scary, man.
Dang. ~ma to all Buffistas for not needing quite so much ~ma in the future.
Connie, too many guts? That's both disturbing and awesome.
In his prime, he had a 64-inch chest measurement. His rib cage is larger than normal, and that space has to be filled with something. I need to find the name of that Norwegian valley his ancestors are from that have the same build as he.
64 inches?! Jesus Christ, did his great-grandma bone THOR?
I'm very happy for your aunt, Trudy.
DCJ, I hope that the diagnosis quickly leads to an effective treatment.
What Zenkitty said.
And Daniel, I'm glad you are getting this fixed, because not dying anytime soon is a good thing.
Yay on good surgery for amyth's bro and Trudy's aunt. We likey.
All kinds of ~ma to ND and Pix. I really hope they figure out what is going on and fix it. Soon.
DCJ: yikes. So glad you're going to get a CPAP. Those are dangerous low levels. Also, sleep apnea can exacerbate diabetes, so you need oxygen, man!
Oh, I have a question on the phrasing of something. I know that sometimes I word things oddly, and/or I assume that other people are understanding what I said in the exact same way that I meant it, but then it will turn out that that isn't true. I'm used to that, so I try to be careful in what I say.
Quiz time:
"From the catalytic converter to the tailpipe would need to be replaced."
Do you read that as:
(A) Including the catalytic converter,
OR
(B) Starting behind the catalytic converter (and therefore not including it), and then going back to the tailpipe?
I'm just curious, because my dad and I had a 10-minute conversation of frustration that was frustrating precisely because of a misunderstanding about the aforementioned phrase. And this was a situation where I thought I was being clear.
I would say including the converter.
