I'm so sorry, erika.
Keeping your family in my thoughts, Trudy.

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Just for a change, something nice.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
In my family we call it being "caring weird." Many years ago, I said something, my mom said "what?", I made a crack about hearing impaired people and she replied "what are caring weird people?"

Yes, smonster, you met Betsy. (It's nice to get the testimonials.)

erika - I'm so sorry for your loss.
And Trudy! OMG - I hope she turns out to be okay. So scary.
Can't wait to get the new power cord from my laptop. So frustrating to not be able to keep up with everything.

Heh. That's another of my dad's habits - if he mishears, he'll repeat back what he thought he heard no matter how ridiculous. "We need to clean it better." "Volcano peanut butter?" as if there was a chance in hell that was what you had actually said.
Some of this stuff is probably hearing loss, microstrokes, and general old age. But mostly it's a longstanding habit of not paying attention combined with a disregard for mental editing.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I'll add my misheard funny to list. When we were in the hospital after having Shane, the nurse came in and said, "Do you know about Shaken Baby Syndrome?" I said, "Chicken Baby Syndrome? No, I haven't heard of that."

Shoot, last night K-Bug said something about bring your daughter to work day and both CJ and I heard something that included "bra spider". Looking back I don't get how I heard that, but both CJ and I heard it, so it wasn't just my ears playing tricks on me.

I apparently don't have a UTI (the result of my culture came back, and the NP said that there were bacteria in there, but not close to the kind of numbers you get with a UTI). She recommended I call my OB/GYN and see if it's some ladyparts problem.
Ugh, I can sympathize with feeling like something in your ladyparts has mysteriously gone awry. Several years ago I got into a cycle of UTI/yeast infection/UTI/yeast infection that eventually sort of petered out into feeling a little weird all the time but with nothing really medically wrong anymore. It was unpleasant. I hope you're able to get a diagnosis and treat it soon.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Was at the ICU last night for a while with Dad & Ginny. Like Cassiepants said in her update, we'll know more tonight.
We HAVE had something funny come out of this, however. The story wound up in the news and several accounts have referred to her as the elderly woman who collapsed at Newark Airport. It's pretty sad that if she DOES recover she's gonna have a stroke when she finds out she was called "elderly" in the news.
