I look more rad than Lutheranism

Your health is not more important than my liberties.

I guy I knew in high school is an ER doctor, and I know for a fact that he voted for Trump. While I genuinely don't wish illness or death on him, I have been idly wondering how that vote is working out for him, and if he still stands by his vote.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Never been a Palmer fan myself, but they did seem to make each other very happy, so I hoped for the best for them.

Yeah, this. I just hope their kid will be okay.

Hugs to everyone who wants them, sincere nods to everyone who'd prefer that.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'd just walk from place to place, eliminating assholes. And feel good about it.

Ah, living the dream...

That is rank absurdity.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Your health is not more important than my liberties

Applying that logic I should be at liberty to break the owner of the SUV's nose.

Which is tempting...

Wow, that's asshole-ery right there. (And this statement could apply to so many things above, sadly)

I survived surgery! Still feeling pretty nauseated despite an infusion of zofran and a scopolamine patch behind my ear, but hoping the triscuits I just ate will settle it a bit. My leg feels like someone sliced it open. Which is what they dod, so...yeah! Not sure about taking more painkiller since I don't yet have a full stomach to take it on, but also feeling like painkiller may not help a ton with the sharp stingy kind of pain? I'll give it a few.

I had conscious sedation and remember nothing but I do wonder if I said anything!

If I'm not mistaken, it's omnis' yahrzeit today

Shir I think you're correct. Sad.

Glad you made it through okay, meara. Rest well and recover fast!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

BevDOG! - yes I am taking the dog in the cabin. Most airlines don't take pets in the hold at all anymore, and certainly not smoosh-faced like Bostons. Miley is really too big for the cabin requirements - she is 25 lbs and I don't think will fit under the seat, so I am getting documentation that she is an emotional support animal. That allows me to have her on a leash in the cabin, but I want a carrier also.

I had a telemedicine appointment with my PCP scheduled for 4, and it's almost 5:30 and she's been indefinitely tied up with a complicated patient. At least I'm at home -- I don't mind waiting around, even this long, for a video appointment because at least I can get other things done while I'm waiting. In my Star Wars lounge clothes, of course.
