Our wings are not tired.

I am 100 percent ready to be off on maternity leave.

I'll bet! Bobby was born in August and I remember wearing as little as possible without regard for what anyone may have considered decent.

I'm sure all Buffistas are on the "not actively self-sabotaging" end of the spectrum.

I'm not bad so much as pitiful and pathetic. Don't fight but want to be catered to as much as possible.

A bit of surgery ~ma for my great nephew too. 13 years old and was feeling miserable and vomiting and stuff. Ends up he has a twisted testicle. Surgeon says it is a quick and easy procedure. But anesthesia and knives are involved, as well as sensitive bits, so ouch.

Nephew is okay. Dopey and they are keeping him overnight but procedure went well.

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

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Ouch! I've heard guys who've had testicular torsion say the pain is worse than kidney stones.

I'm a very compliant patient, but I really just want to be left alone when ill.

The thing that sucks for a teenager during summer is no strenuous activity for 4 weeks. Not that he is interested in doing any sports at the moment, as his parents say he is walking like a cowboy. Apparently it was a puberty thing that happens. But he'll be fine.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm glad the procedure went well, Laura.

I'm one of those "follow process and procedures for a week, and then screw it," patients. Which is great if there's a one-week recovery time, and less good otherwise.

Thrive to spite them

Poor kid. I hope his recovery goes smoothly.

And lots of ~ma to Tim as well.

My brakes were making a weird noise. I finally got them looked at. Lots of various things wrong. Brake pads, calibration, I don't remember what else. The mechanic said it was mostly due to having a 12 year old car and the mileage is really low for the age of my car. Besides the brakes there is some other issues that are minor now and can wait a bit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Love to all of you Zmayhem.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

JZ & DavidS,

Sad to read the news in Beep Me, but I'd say protecting the liver and kidneys is a good choice. Rehydrate and recover and build strength. "Something may turn up." Meanwhile, make the most of each and every day.
