Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Eye~ma to Toddson and management~ma to LeN.
Like if people want to sit down and debate the merits of particular policies armed with data, I can dig that. My politics are pretty left in general, but I believe it is theoretically possible that some conservative policies could work better than my ideals.
This. A million times this.
le_nubian, I have diabetes, too (for ... eleven years now?). Profile address is good if you want to talk.
Maria, all kinds of ~ma to you and DH. I'm so sorry this year has handed you so much shit.

When life is dark And things look black Buffista Bitches Have your back
I tried to "like" this post.
Of course, I'm like:
"Oh! I'll be a Black Buffista Bitch!"
um. Maybe I'm that already...
Toddson, my dad had cataract surgery for both eyes this year. It's quick and he swears it's the best damn thing ever. My dad HATES doctors, and he was over the moon about this.
Le Nub, don't be afraid of Bitches! Also, my mom was diagnosed with Type II the same time she was diagnosed with lung cancer (double-whammy) and if SHE can manage her diabetes, trust me, you can.)
I realize I should probably have posted that in Bitches. Oh well ....
My mom just had cataract surgery and it was quite the success. It's amazing how it has advanced in the last 20 years or so.
My dad had it a couple years ago, and he's the one I get my awful (-13 in both eyes!) vision from...and they gave him great vision. I'm totally jealous.
Todd, if you need someone to pick you up/take you/run errands with your surgery, please let me know.
Thanks! won't be until after my organization's conference (late October), so it's not going to be a rush to the OR.
In other news, I've been summoned for jury duty. In TWO courts. The local one, as usual, wants the one-day/ one-trial deal. The federal court, however, needs a jury for a trial starting September 14. For four to five weeks, maybe more. um ... I'm hoping to be excused (since, not only will we be frantically busy and my not being available full-time would be a major problem, they wouldn't pay me for the whole time).
