Scrappy, I'm so sorry.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Jilli, thanks for that info! I need to replace a gold eyeshadow (I tried it on at a brick-and-mortar Sephora and Half Baked is the shade for me!) and also need to get my BFF a birthday present!

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm very sorry, Scrappy.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
This is ridiculous. My primary care doctor won't call the ENT to get me an appointment unless I go and see her again first. She says she has Tuesday evening appointments this week, and I can come in then. Except I can't come in then -- it's Yom Kippur.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Can't you go in on the medical exception? Yeah I know in this case the emergency nature of the timing is that your Doctor is being a jackass. But unless you have an alternative way to get treatment in a timely manner, I think that counts. A form of coercion. OK, not a theologian, but still...

I think I can manage to get in sometime Monday afternoon. I'd planned on spending Monday afternoon doing some of the organizing and filing and grading and stuff that I won't be able to do on Wednesday, but I can figure out some way around that. I've got a really tight schedule this week, and I was willing to fit in some time to go to a doctor who might make my ears stop hurting. I'm not so eager to rearrange stuff to go to a doctor who might or might not help me get to a doctor who might make my ears stop hurting.
As for Tuesday night, it's not so much that I don't want to violate the holiday, but that it's the beginning of a fast, and having anything to do that night other than eat, pray, and sleep is going to totally screw up the timing of when I last eat before starting the fast. (I'm willing to drive to a doctor on Yom Kippur if I need to, but I'm not going to eat after the fast has already started because I was at the doctor when I should have been eating dinner.)

OK, I got an appointment for late Monday afternoon. This conflicts with my plans to play mini-golf with some friends, but I'm willing to put mini-golf at the bottom of my priority list at this point.

The status is NOT quo.
Hope everything goes well, Hil.
It's morning in SoCal, and I'm trying to get motivated to grade papers. I have a fun thing to do tonight, so I have to be good and work for a few hours between now and about 4. Motivation...?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
If it helps Pix, I'm grading today too. Or at least my plan is to get a couple more papers in before I crash, since a crash is inevitable at this point. I'm already flagging.
