Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

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

So now I'm scrambling to get her signed up for some things for the weeks we won't be away so that she doesn't spend all day watching TV.

I don't know if there's a Boys & Girls Club option but they were key for filling in spot weeks for Matilda when she was in elementary school. You don't have to worry about whole sessions - it's just drop in, and there's usually room. Also, it's cheap and subsidized.

Ha ha, tiny MRI machine, that ain't happening. So much for today's plans.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What a mess, askye. Good luck!

You're having quite a day, Dana. I hope there is a good meal and a nap in your future.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh no, Dana, that's no good! You fasted for nothing? Such a drag. As well as not getting the answers the MRI would presumably at least possibly provide

I will need to make an appointment at the place that has a machine that can actually fit my shoulders. I did not think my shoulders were especially big.

Wow not just a claustrophobia issue but an actual fit issue? That’s bananas. Why make a teeny tiny MRI??

The sedation was supposed to handle the claustrophobia, but I cannot handle being stuffed in something the size of a toilet paper tube for an hour unless I'm truly unconscious.

The imaging place has larger MRIs, and I have successfully managed in one of those without IV sedation. Though I'm getting two scans this time, so it will take twice as long.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I am posting from my iPad, as the screen on my laptop has gone dark for no apparent reason. I have an appointment with my local Apple store on Sunday. With luck it won’t be anything too big. This is a fairly new laptop.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

As if you need more stress Sheryl. I hope it's a quick, cheap fix.

I need a new screen on my iPad. It's entirely unusable currently. Somehow the shattered bits are *selecting* things at random. I miss reading on it. I buy the smallest phones (SEs for the win!) I can so tablets are my readers of choice.

Our wings are not tired.

We have been without A/C for 6 days and the part arrived tonight so hoping that DH can fix it tonight. I can deal during the day, but sleeping without A/C is torture. Current temp is 82 but of course feels much warmer with our humidity. The high today was 97 and I felt every degree of it.
