Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
(I know that you and J. are smart people and know about drug/drug interactions, but Coumadin has some noteworthy food/drug interactions, and I tend to fret overmuch, so I just wanted to mention it.)
Yeah, Dad gave up broccoli and cabbage once he started taking Warfarin because he couldn't eat the same amount of it every day forever.
Trying to think of other perhaps alleged wife abusers that might have been on their cover.
Mel Gibson?
Scrappy, I'm so glad your DH is home, on the right drugs (even if they are scary drugs) and that pesky clot is staying put. My Dad had to go on Coumadin after one of his surgeries. I remember him plexing over whether or not to shave while he was on it.
Kat, I'll be thinking good thoughts for Grace's surgery. UCLA?
Best wishes for Grace's surgery today.

Mickey Rourke?
The important distinction should be whether they were GQ covers before their problems were offenses were public.
This is cool - ADD/ADHD may come down to, essentially, having too much brain: [link]
So says Ryota Kanai and his colleagues at University College London, who found larger than average volumes of grey matter in certain brain regions in those whose attention is readily diverted.
To investigate distractibility, the team compared the brains of easy and difficult-to-distract individuals.
They assessed each person's distractibility by quizzing them about how often they fail to notice road signs, or go into a supermarket and become sidetracked to the point that they forget what they came in to buy. The most distractible individuals received the highest score.
The team then imaged the volunteers' brains using a structural MRI scanner. The most obvious difference between those who had the highest questionnaire scores – the most easily distracted – and those with low scores was the volume of grey matter in a region of the brain known as the left superior parietal lobe (SPL). Specifically, the easily distracted tended to have more grey matter here.
I'm so glad you and your DH got good news, Scrappy.
Best wishes for Grace's surgery.
I dub today death by a thousand bureaucratic cuts.
Nods knowingly at Jessica's link above. I think we could have guessed this with all our brilliant ADD friends. I wonder if I should be ashamed of my ability to focus now?
Henry Cavill (new Superman) is marrying into the Whitaker showjumping family.
Holy crap, it's my one-year anniversary at my job. It both feels like I'm still new, and that I've been here forever.
