'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm up to 9 slides and I think I've run out of things to say. Hm. I guess I can go into more detail on a couple of things...
Had lunch at Denny's to take advantage of their free birthday meal. Got a Diet Coke to go with it and that cost $3.95! Now I know.
Aside from the obscene wealth inequity of being a billionaire, I think having money at that level causes more problems than it's worth on an individual level. For instance, while at my current income I can't travel as much as I'd like or quite afford to own my ideal home, I also don't have to worry about being kidnapped or that dates, friends, and relatives don't genuinely like me and are only interested in my money. I'll happily take that trade-off.
I heard a story on the radio sometime in the last month about Jeff Bezos phone being hacked by Saudi Arabia or something and at one point the reporter said something about Bezos and Crown Prince what's-his-name communicating with each other, of course, being fellow world leaders and all and I didn't know what part of that to be more offended and boggled by. It's all a big mess!
askye, I think you and Matthew need a standing Date Night arrangement. Is his Mom OK to stay home by herself?
Making time for Matthew to just spend with his Mom would also be a good thing, too, I bet. And does she like anything that you could do with/for her, like going to a Bingo Night or to thrift stores. (My aunt liked that, because nobody else on her side of the family liked just wandering through aisles looking at cheap possibilities.)
I bet Matt would like Date Night, especially if you could rotate it with some sports-type events he'd like, movies you'd like, stuff you'd like together.
Answer is in—bone scan showed plenty of inflammation, in the spot that was hurting as well as one other. We discussed—there's no obvious stress fracture or anything but removing the plate is pretty easy. Since the one isn't hurting we will probably leave it alone, but have outpatient surgery and get the other plate taken out and hope that helps. Yay! I feel glad I pushed for bone scan even though the X-ray looked fine! (Not that the doctor seemed like he doubted me—I like this guy much better—but I was worried I was being a hypochondriac)

In a document for the congregational meeting the other week, my minister wrote something like, "As the theologians are always saying, 'Mo' money, mo' problems.'" And then he footnoted it in Chicago style to the Biggie Smalls album! Hilarious.

Yay! Someone at work was in a terrible car accident in December (she's still not back in the office), and I think her ankle is the main thing that got busted, so I feel terrible for her, knowing how bad ankles can be!

Your minister is AWESOME.
I just trimmed up JZ's bob, handed her a container of beef stew that I made to give to her friend, and posted a new article on the front page of the A's blog.
I'm feeling productive, and flexing a goodly range of skill sets.
Enviable, Hec. Plus making people happy!
