Turns out, my hs chem teacher's husband? Is over at Wallops for the launch. He's with Orbital, one of the companies involved.
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My new (and once long ago) co-worker brought her dog to work today - it looks like someone crossed a border collie with a mop!
That's no crime; they're nice, deep colors and complement each other.
Yipes Steph! Definitely sending much ~ma Tim's way.
Steph, I hope they pack him up, he stops leaking and you get home to sleep. And tell him to lay off the rat poison. It's contraindicated (did I use that word right?)
Tim~ma, Tep!
I hope he's okay, Steph!
This David Blaine special on ABC is freaking me out. I really don't know how he does this stuff. I thought Harrison Ford was going to cry, he was so astounded.
Poor Tim! Be well! And stop bleeding!
It's contraindicated (did I use that word right?)
You did indeed!
He's doing the tea-bag trick to see if that slows/stops the bleeding (get a tea bag damp and bite down or hold it on the bleeding spot; tannins in black tea constrict blood vessels, which makes bleeding stop). It seems like it's helping, so hopefully we can avoid the ER.
His periodontist returned my very worried voice mail, and said the tea bag trick is the best thing, and maybe tomorrow Tim will need to come in to get an extra stitch put in. He said it sounds like whatever clot had formed since Friday just got jostled loose; it happens sometimes.
Poor Tim. It's his birthday and we were going to eat cake after SHIELD was over. Not so much now.
Oh, man, that's some bummer timing.
