Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I suspect the second night was racial profiling by MPD, as they were the ones who zeroed in on this faculty member as a suspicious person. My opinion only, with all the caveats that attach.

Well, I confess to thinking when you mentioned that the second lock-down had been a false alarm regarding a faculty member, "Wonder what color his skin was".

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh, Sparky! Sounds like a mess!

Apparently shingles uses the same nerve paths set up by chicken pox.

Huh, I thought shingles and chicken pox were caused by the same virus. I should look that up, shouldn't I?

Here's a quick fact sheet on shingles and chicken pox: link

I hope it's not shingles, Sparky, but even more I hope that if it is your body responds like flea's and the worst is over soon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ah, facts! Nice.

I feel like I am not accomplishing anything today. Oh well, going to lunch, maybe I'll do better this afternoon.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Ah, facts! Nice.

Reality...what a concept.

Anyone looking for pet insurance, think twice before going with Banfield. The people in the pet hospitals are nice, but dear god, the system you have to deal with to manage it. I wanted to make sure it didn't renew, so I called their number. Billing was able to find the account, but I had to talk to Cancellation, who couldn't find the account, so they sent me back to Billing to find every possible ID number associated with the account so they could send me back to Cancellation so I could tell them not to renew.

I know it's no faire judgement of quality of care, but a badly organized back office setup doesn't impress me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

In terms of vet care, they've been great for our pets. But we don't have pet insurance through them.

If/when I get another pet, I'll look over the fine print a lot closer.

Yup, shingles. I have the super fun presentation, too, around my eye, so I get to see that doctor, too, as that is the first concern. I am not having any problems with my eye, now.

DH's aunt thinks he did have chicken pox, so maybe we are okay there!
