What Zenkitty said.
And Daniel, I'm glad you are getting this fixed, because not dying anytime soon is a good thing.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

[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.

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?
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!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I read it as more B.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
DCJ, can't help but wonder if your low oxygen levels are playing into your leg not healing. So Not A Doctor, but I seem to recall something about cells needing oxygen to heal.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I would have to ask for clarification. I could read it either way, but I would know that immediately and ask if the catalytic converter was included.
Can I just say: hooray for modern medical treatment, may it be efficacious for everyone that needs some.

Oooh, already a difference of opinion!
Now, I know precisely jack and shit about cars, so there may have been a better way to phrase it. But it was just so clear in my brain that I was agog that he thought it meant one thing while I meant another. We actually had the following exchange:
Dad: "But you said, 'from the catalytic converter to the tailpipe.' "
Me: "Right! FROM the catalytic converter to the tailpipe!"
(Also, Who's on first.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I would think (A), but I would ask for clarification, too.
Trudy, so glad your aunt's surgery went well!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
