Tommyrot that sucks but yay government paying cobra and new AD!
Shrift I don’t think I knew that! Go you.
I just got off the phone with someone who needs to deal with a huge spreadsheet of issues. Which comes out quarterly and she ought to be familiar with. Turns out not only is she not familiar with it, she is the WORST in excel. Like, couldn’t even figure out how to scroll, half the time. Or filter. Or sort. I was trying to walk her through it and it was just awful. Yikes.
I had a friend in college who was Cape Coloured (presumably still is, of course) and enjoyed making Americans stammer by saying it.
When a dude who grew up under Apartheid tells you he finds American racism more intrusive on his life that stings. "They follow me in stores because they think I'm Latino, then when I speak they think I'm English and suddenly they want to be my best friend..."
Gary was fun.
It's so great how people have more opportunity to identify themselves in ways meaningful to them.
Right? It makes me so happy to see it happening. Pink sparkly hearts to alla y'all figuring this stuff out
Yes indeed!
I was terrified of general anesthesia until I had it and now I LOVE it.
They gave me IV Benadryl after a procedure once and I still think about it wistfully.

Man, IV morphine was so fucking good.
I remember when I went to the ER with BAD abdominal pain (turned out to be appendicitis) and they gave me morphine. I felt it go through my veins and kind of went "ooooh" which had the nurse (or whoever) kind of grin at me.
Timelies all!
Good to see you, tommyrot.
IV Benadryl
I have, not a truly allergic, but rather atypical reaction to Benadryl. I got to discover for certain about this when they gave it to me in IV form to try to get me to sleep when I was hospitalized for pancreatitis. Amp up, bugs under my skin, heart racing. Really not a fun reaction to that stuff.
I’m sorry March was so awful, tommyrot, but it’s good to see your pixels nonetheless.
Hi, Gud!
