Definitely sooner rather than later on PT. we have not been transferred. Creeping up on 24 hours here in the ER. All of our graham crackers are gone. How do I get more?

Given the number of Presidents we have had, odds are pretty good we have had had at least one President who engaged in same sex romance.

Surely Reagan counts given how many gay men he screwed during the AIDS crisis?

Oh, SNAP.

Oh Kat, that is so sucky. Is K coming by to spell you or bring food?

I have been spending too much time in online discussions, because I just snapped at tech support for our corporate application--I ranked our problem as most severe (because the system's users can't use it), and they downgraded the priority. I kinda went off on them, but at least the developer is cheering me on.

(She snapped at me earlier today, because I gave her a shortcut timesaver, and ... and I don't even know what. But she snapped. I told her I didn't care how hard or easy her solution was, just that we have deadlines, so do whatever. When I got back from the meeting, she'd taken the shortcut.)

William Mapother just doesn't have an engaging persona in this movie.

Does he ever?

I'll be honest, I fear bloodshed and civil unrest, but my husband discounts it.

Unfortunately, I have the same fear as Burrell and Cass. I fear it'll get much worse before it starts to get significantly better. I hope I am wrong and we can have a peaceful revolution.

Consuela, great news that you're getting some help with placing your parents.

my mother is so incredibly difficult (suspicious, paranoid, nasty)

FWIW, my mother's dementia presented with aggression and paranoia and even physical violence for a while. It passed. The doctor said it was common for dementia sufferers to go through such a "phase". I can't say what about your mom's situation, but it's possible this part at least will get better.

Like, someone with a Spanish name who could speak Spanish fluently would totally freak out a huge segment of the population.

I wouldn't have thought so before, but I was surprised at the complete dead silence that followed Rubio speaking one sentence of Spanish at the RNC.

I feel like it's terrible to suggest, but I feel like Valium could make everyone's life better in this situation.

Not terrible at all. Anti-anxiety drugs are good! (disclaimer: I take Valium. Might be biased.) I forget what med(s) my mom was on, but it helped her calm down. It probably caused some mental fuzziness, but she had dementia, FFS, her mental was not gonna not be fuzzy anyway.

First PT appointment is in ONE MONTH. That's too long, right? I feel like I'll have permanent loss of function if I wait that long.

I would def. push for a sooner appt. That's way too long.

Weirdest thing happened while I was out internetting, earlier. I was scrolling through some argument about a study on the affects of female heroines on television and such, and realized I was in the middle of ita and JZ taking down some schmuck.

Small internet.

Heh.

Multiple schmucks. They were aggressively stupid and begging for a takedown, and it was Buffy. Nobody bags on my girl.
