“Not dead yet!”

Okay, this is very cool: First African-American woman ordained as a rabbi.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

A guy walks into the admin offices, asking if this is the right place to ask if the theater is hiring. We say yes, do you have a resume? "oh, um, no". I get that you were driving around, and spotted a theater and thought, "oh, I should ask", but what would be the first thing asked of you? A resume. @@

Ugh Ginger. Sounds very frustrating.

Sounds very frustrating.

One problem with this mysterious feeling bad is that I fear becoming one of those people who goes from one wacky cure to another. Googling symptoms gives me pages and pages of I HAVE THE SECRET CURE FOR ____ and for four easy payments of $49.99, my secret herbal formula will..." I suspect some of it is the price I pay for not dying, which is certainly a good thing. I did just get my 5-year clean bill of health, which is pretty exciting for a person with an 83% chance of recurrence in five years and 60% chance of dying. I opted for the most aggressive treatment available, which does mean being poisoned until you're not quite dead.

I get that you were driving around, and spotted a theater and thought, "oh, I should ask", but what would be the first thing asked of you?

I would be worried about hiring someone who didn't have the sense to lie. A person who said, "I don't have it with me, but what's your e-mail?" and then went home and typed up a resume would have a lot more potential.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Not dying was deffinately worth it.

If you do want to pursue alternative therapies (I was just having fun with finding one based on camel piss or something) accupuncture or an herbalist who actually talks to you in person could be beneficial for a situation of "systemic weirdness post poisoning". I don't think the internet is your friend in this.

When you take all the people who promoted coffee enemas, ozone generators, copper bracelets, magnets, violet rays and various forms of snake oil cures in medicines shows, ads in the back of pulp magazines and MLM and multiply them by the power of the internet, you get a lot of crazy.

Yeah, I know.

I know my Aunt isn't in your part of the country, but in Louisville she's closer than I am and I think she knows every crunchy on the Eastern Seaboard. I can ask her if she knows of anyone reputable in your neck of the woods.

I know energy flow and the rest can seem awfully woo woo, but its not all from nothin'. I tend to be very skeptical myself, but I have also seen people benefit. Let me know, profile addy is good.

Ginger, I'm just glad it wasn't a tumah making your head hurt. That was my secret worry. I mean, I'd love a fix for you, but no tumor is always good.

Man, I bet sometimes the only fun an Oncologist has is saying "It's not a TUMAH" and having everybody cheer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. I thought only the LOLCat Oncologists said that.
