Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I just received an email from my doctor. I definitely have gallstones. She's going to set up an appointment for me to meet with a surgeon.

smonster- I'm more worried he'll cross me off when he knows me better.

He asked me if that sounded okay and I don't remember what I said but something like "it's sounds better than an amusement park!" And less of a chance to stare at each other awkwardly, there were a few awkward pauss on the phone but not as bad as my other date.

Plus date potential. Don't cross him off just because he is financially secure. Connections happen when they happen, regardless of where people are in their life arc.

Yes, I was a financial mess when Tom and I got together. I'd say the thing to do is, be honest when something's proposed that you can't afford and have some ideas about lower cost or free stuff to do. Like making out! Or cooking at home.

It was awkward at first, but it's easier in the long (and short) run than assuming he'll pay for stuff or making myself deeper in debt to keep up. I did dabble in both those poor choices at the start, and it wasn't great.

Nora is smart (DUH!).

Buffista gallbladders need to quit making stones and needing to be kicked out of the abdomen. sj, I hope whatever is ahead goes as smoothly as possible.

Thank, Suzi. My main concern would be how much help I might need taking care of ltc after surgery and for how long.

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

Everything hurts. And my apartment is a mess, which means that I've got to step over things that are on the floor, which hurts, but I hurt too much to really clean, either. And my kitchen light bulb burned out, and I can't reach it to replace it. This sucks.

Well crap. I've been off all day and I just figured out why. Today is the 15 year anniversary of my FIL's suicide. All of that came slamming back as soon as my brain caught up with me. I hate the brain weasels. Thank heaven for anxiety meds. And antidepressants. And cuddly pets.
