Wow, Erin, that's ridiculous! I hope you are on your way to a smooth and uneventful surgery, done by people who are unlike the schedulers. Eek.
I have finesse! I have finesse coming out of my bottom!

[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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
To which she responded "oh that's a waste;" and then corrected herself "there's nothing wrong with retail but you have a sharp scientific mind." I told her I just read a lot.
Ask if she is hiring! and how much. Can't hurt to compare.

Eep. OK, Joined Meetup.com, in the attempt of being more social, and hopefully finding a mate. Plenty of Fish, OKcupid, Match all did not work for me. Trying something new. First event I've signed up for is not a singles event, but a game night. Hey, gotta start somewhere, right? Need to bust out of the bubble, and get out there. Eeep.

I need to find a D&D game, preferably one that welcomes a 50+ year old woman who remembers the first AD&D fondly.

Just read the funniest thing on Ravelry, in a thread about a scary medical situation. The person had had an odd spot show up in her lung on an X-ray, and she was sent for more investigation. She was sent to a lung specialist for the official word. Said specialist was said to have, in the words of her PCP, "the bedside manner of Skeletor."
So she's sitting in the room, waiting for news. The specialist flings open the door. Thunder rolls over head (honestly, according to the poster), and the specialist declares, "Congratulations! Your body made a pearl!"
That line cracks me up. Apparently it's a granuloma, though what specific type is unknown at this time, whether it's an encapsulation of a thingie or a reaction to a fungus. But eminently treatable.
I want that doctor.

Things I have learned today: two days in a row of patchy sleep and early-morning meetings render me incapable of thinking or writing until I go take a long nap. Thank G-D for working from home.

Me, too. If we lived in the same area we could start our own game and recruit others.

A Buffista D&D game would rock.

I was playing D&D in mid 70S. Don't remember which edition. Had a ranger name "Token" (as pun on Tolkien) which seemed funny to my 16 year old self.
