It is really hard to see loved ones damaging their health, and yet adults get to make their own decisions. The surgeon says it would be a waste of his time to do the surgery because he would just rip it out. Also, I can't imagine how difficult the recovery would be. He would have to be in rehab because even with my sons we wouldn't be able to get him up and down, and with belly surgery he wouldn't be able to on his own. I have mentioned (more than once) that he would be better off with scheduled surgery than the emergency variety.

My sister is going to be getting her flu shot soon so I may just go with her. Of course, I am of an age where they want you to get pneumonia vaccine too. I have used the same never had respiratory issues of any kind mindset on that, but that is a one and done like shingles.

I feel like this is so early in the year to be getting flu shots! But I guess I’ll get on that.
Dco that sucks—I’ve totally had that happen though where they end up using both hands for blood draws, and it’s the worst.

Yeah, I get it, Laura. I just meant as motivation for weight loss... I couldn't have gotten it at my previous weight for the same reason; it likely wouldn't have held. But fear is not an especially great motivator? Because I didn't lose the weight either.
I just told DP that I'm getting flu shot this weekend, and he's down.
Oh, and, -t, I got my shingles shots at CVS.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It does feel early, but it’s almost fall.
Sorry about the blood draw, dcp, ugh. Scan~ma
Health~ma all around
At DD on my way to the office. Practically on time! Did not see anyone working on power stuff in the area, but who knows where the actual problem is

Woot! No stent or bypass needed at this juncture! (For my friend)

Yay! Delighted for your friend, JenP.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I spent over 4 hours and almost $400 today to get….a shitty uneven dye job
This is why I do my own haircolor. (I have a stylist I trust completely and who I'm sure would do a great job, but...a box of Colorista bleach + tube of dye from Sally's is less than $30. Even if the salon dye job looks great, it's not going to look 10x as great.)

Yay! about the great news, Pix!

Yeah, sadly that’s where I’m at Jessica—I figured I was going pink so getting the bleach job right would be key, and I should’ve just trusted myself. So annoyed at the $$ much more than the actual result.
