Joyce ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
Went to my doc to follow up on my shoulder. An MRI is the next step, but we can't schedule it until my insurance flips over this weekend. But I did get a flu shot, the pneumonia vac, and had a bunch of blood drawn. Wheee? Didn't know a pneumonia vac existed. With my asthma and bronchitis history, it makse sense to give it a go.
I need to put in two more hours of work today. Don't wanna.
I didn't know one existed either until I got one.
I was once used as a human shield to protect my friend from being seen by Sarah McLachlin. (BFF went to HS with "Scare-ah", who was universally disliked. It seems she was big on stealing other people's boyfriends.)
Interesting. Did I mention that I discovered that one of my knitting group ladies went to high school with Ree Drummond? And HATES HER.
She says that Ree was a "soc" - something I only understood because I read The Outsiders. Apparently, Oklahomans really do say that.
Sumi, a very good friend of mine who is in a position to know says that Drummond is a nut case who lies about 80% of her blog. Perhaps more. But I can't prove anything so it's just gossip. But fun nonetheless.

How do you pronounce it? I have always wondered.
Sophia, I've heard it pronounced like you're saying "social" but you stop after first syllable.
"sowsh". Though that could be "sow". How about "sewsh"? No, that looks like "sewer". So like "so", with a "sh."
Well, now I have to go see who Ree Drummond is!
Happy Anniversary to you and S, Amy!! Brakes and food; sounds like a plan to me. Brakes first. They will come in handy on the way to food.
Soooo... we're back in the hospital with mi madre. She was severely short of breath this morning. They're doing tests. Chest x-ray showed nothing, but a blood test did show something -- I missed part of it, so I'm not sure what it showed; they are doing a CAT scan now to see if it is a blood clot in the lung. Scary. Well, they will be. First she had to get a combination of anti-allergy to the iodine dye, because she had a reaction to it a couple decades ago, so they're waiting.
~ma for the Ma is appreciated.
And now I will attempt to distract myself here and elsewhere.
ETA: I also only know about "soc" from The Outsiders, but I had no idea it was still in use!
