Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

What do men have to do with raising children?

They provide the sperm. Then they get a job so they can be the sole breadwinner in the family.

And, according to the tv, sleep with their secretaries. I have no idea why the secretaries have paying jobs instead of making babies and letting their husband make the monies.

What, you mean formal education really is useful? Who'd a thunk?

At least in some cases. I've had other student who come to see me all upset because all their research points in one direction but they want to write a paper that argues for the other. I've even directly asked, so why do you want to argue for X when all your research proves Y? The answer is always some variation of "I just don't like Y." It can be hard to see one's own ideological barriers.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I have no idea why the secretaries have paying jobs instead of making babies and letting their husband make the monies.

Duh. That's where they get the husbands. Unless they're dangerous radicals who want to become junior copywriters instead.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

So my appointment today went fine, and they didn't have to do a biopsy! Phew. They're putting me on a different antibiotic, and I have a followup appt next week to see how it's progressing. The doctor didn't seem too worried, but it was a nice moment of validation to hear him say, while examining my lymph nodes, things like "Wow, that's really swollen! You must be in a lot of pain." Which, yes, and that's no fun, but at least now I have confirmation that I'm not just making a big deal out of nothing. Here's hoping this round of antibiotics does the trick!

Eek, amyth! I hope you start feeling better soon! Though it's awesome to know that you have excellent neighbors who can take care of you if you need it.

Fortunately, secretaries and stewardesses don't become pregnant.

My worst ever paper fail was when the instructor thought I was arguing for X when I wrote the paper arguing Y. He just thought I made a really bad argument for X.
