I get it. But if you are in pain and it means you can't sleep, FIX IT. Especially since we have health insurance.

Is FB being weird for anyone else? Like not showing me thing I posted and it keeps telling me I have a message, but I don't.

I don't know about K, but there is a certain level of "maybe it'll go away" or " I can't deal with anyfuckingthing right now" (which is why I told Brian he might have a key but I wasn't undoing the safeties when he got insistent about taking me to the ER.) I could sleep, however, though after I drank a lot (probably not advised.)

I'm a poor patient. Most of the time I'm in flight, flight from my reality of pain. I really can't calibrate the pain until it is resolved. Both with the need for a root canal and this stupid scrape, I don't think I realized how incapacitated by pain and how fucking much I hurt until the pain stopped. And then I was pretty much "WTF were you thinking trying to power through that, you stupid idiot?" I have cleaned house and raked leaves, weeping uncontrollably. I have toured the Inner Harbor, weeping in between slushies. WHY?

Maybe denial? I don't know.

Maybe?

Of course, now K says, "I would have gone to urgent care. I thought you wanted me to go to the minute clinic."

No. I offered it as option for your impatient self. Sigh.

I am pretty feral in that mode. I knew I wasn't going to be able to deal with the ER, but had you given me choices, wouldn't be able to do that either. Pretty much need a keeper at that point to handle everything. Someday that might be a Brian or A, but that night, I was still finding out insurance crap (which is really hard when you can't see.)

In the future, I'll do better by using my friends.

I have a love/hate relationship with Ancestry.com. Well, a like/annoyed relationship, really. I got information on my (putative) father's family from Ancestry, and I couldn't find that anywhere else, because only my mom knew any of it, and she wouldn't talk about him. Like, I never knew his father immigrated from Canada! And he was a beekeeper! And that was worth knowing.

I pay for the service and I rarely use it. I tried building a family tree and it just annoyed me. For one thing they wanted me to enter first names, but my mom didn't go by her first name, neither did my granddad, and neither do I. And I can't figure out how to create a "family tree" when my sister and I don't have the same fathers.

That's a major usability fail. That should be pretty key to a decent system. I figure if they can handle my family, they should be good. But no system I got ten years ago handles the FTM issue. I hope they're updated for more gender flexibility.

I never did work out how to track adulterous relationships properly, though, in any of the ones I used.

The genealogy program I use has options for multiple spouses and attendant kids. I create the trees in the program then import them into online databases.

It is pretty easy to add different parents for siblings. I have done it often.

You'd think a LDS database would have allowed for multiple spouses long before most dealt with the issue...
