I don't have a car, so I caught a cab to the ER when I had a stroke - does that count?
In lighter news (literally?), there's a kickstarter for a Disco Dog vest.
edited to add that it seems to have closed down ... but still, a fun idea, IMHO
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Nope, because you're not the one responsible for operating a 1-ton metal machine that could kill you and/or other people if you lose consciousness. (Literally, the only way I could get my dad to stop driving himself to the ER was to ask him how he would feel if he lost consciousness and killed other people.)

There's a lot to be said for peer pressure re swim lessons, and seeing the other kids having fun.
Karl, glad to hear you're doing well now. (Heart attack took my Dad at 52, and both my brothers have had to have procedures around that age!)

Good gravy, Karl! Please take care of your very good heart.
Great job, ltc. sj, I think you will find that swimming is the absolute best thing for tuckering kids out and getting them to bed in a timely fashion.
After Matilda's very fun baseball camp, she's in a new camp this week that goes on a field trip every day. She's already texted me twice to tell me she hates it. And they haven't even gotten out the door yet.

That's not a problem we have. She won't nap anymore. So at night she is asleep within seconds of her head hitting the pillow.
