Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

P-C, don't know what to tell you, either. Did she ask you any questions in return?

Nope. I asked her what she'd been doing on Sunday in hopes of sparking interesting conversation, but since she only replied yesterday, the answer was "Work as usual." So I don't know.

I can see a different doctor, but I'm not sure that I should go to a different doctor for something long-term like this. Any suggestions?

I would see the different doctor, but make an appointment with your regular doctor for follow-up as soon as s/he gets back.

As someone who goes to a teaching practice, I see a lot of residents because I can often get an appointment that day or the next. As long as the other doctor is seeing your medical records and has a sense of your history, it will probably be okay. My issues with continuity of care are mostly from annoyance. Mostly I get the same med/diet/exercise speil with every new resident.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

This was weird. I went to reschedule the appointment that they'd given me for tomorrow, since I just don't feel like getting up as early as I'd need to for an 8:30 appointment, and one of the reschedule options the system gave me was seeing my regular doctor at 11:10. Not sure what's up with that, but I took it.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Shir, nice! Where's the apartment? Hope it's somewhere you're happy with. Very exciting.

Um. This isn't good. There was a delinquent tax notice on my door, saying that, unless the landlords pay $13,000 in taxes, the town will seize the property and sell it. I moved the notice over to the landlords' door (there are two front doors on the house, one going into my apartment and one going into the main part of the house) and emailed them.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

The location couldn't be more perfect. It's the best part. 10 minutes walk from the train station - AKA my lifeline to work, in the German Colony in Haifa. And the street is quiet. Should be an upgrade in some ways. It's considered a "better" neighborhood from the one I currently live in (when in Haifa), though I found it's mostly stereotypes about it. But the train, transportation in general, close supermarket - all upgrades that will hopefully save time which I rarely have to spare.

The only minus is that it's kindda small for the price they're asking, but I don't think I'll find much better (considering the location) in that price.

Hil - what? That sounds bad.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Guess who has two thumbs and just called a new landlord, telling him he found a tenant from late October? This girl!
And what part of Southern California are you moving to? Whaaat? A guy can dream, can't he? And by that, I mean CONGRATS! Close to transportation is key! Funny, my new awesome place is close to transportation (freeway), yours train. Ah, I miss mass transit. But SoCal just doesn't like trains. ::sigh:: See if you can haggle the new landlord down on price. Can't hurt to ask? We look forward to pictures!

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

Fortunately, the humans came home and walked around a bit, which brought the kitty out of hiding.

Oh, I am so relieved to read that.

Hil, I hope things are solved by your landlord. Scary notice to read.

and one of the reschedule options the system gave me was seeing my regular doctor at 11:10. Not sure what's up with that, but I took it.

On this? I am guessing cancelation.

Congrats, Shir.

Erin, If you can get in and be checked out, it's probably for the best. But mostly precautionary. And lots of laundry and hand washing in the meantime. It's awful that we've got such shame about certain parts of bodies when really they are all just body parts. But societally, we absolutely do. And even recognizing it, it's not like you can just wave a magic wand and get over it even in your head. Much less make the rest of the world.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Very glad the kitty was reunited with her humans! Whew.

Hil, what a revolting development. Hope it's a mistake, or at least that it doesn't affect you.

Erin, yeah, get it checked out. It might be easier to take care of than you think, and at least you'll know it's not something bad. I had (tmi!) a similar problem once, and having them frozen off was surprisingly simple and non-painful, just in case that helps you.
