3. Do you sleep with a stuffed animal? Nope

Our local Talk Radio Station, WHAM 1180, has been unabashedly Conservative-friendly. What's gone and hacked me RTF off is the fact that they dropped Dr. Dean Edell-a great medical radio show with good sound advice that doesn't deal in the hysterics that are common with today's illnesses. They replaced him with Sean Hannity who states that he gives "A fair and balanced review of all the day's news"....well....fair and balanced if it leans towards a Conservative view. He has exposed himself to be nothing more than a Junior Rush Limbaugh.
I am Liberal...totally..to the core. Now I don't think Durbin's recent comments are appropriate in any manner-he simply went too far. But that doesn't mean you can compare Karl Rove's recent outburst to his and not feel the same way. Its pretty blatant and offensive all the way around.
I used to despise Wil Wheaton's blog...I just didn't like it...well I've come around. I was just reading his post on Poker and trying not to wake his beloved. I realized...Hey, I do this too except that it's Everquest and not Poker. I could probably do well at Poker, but I don't have the cash....but I'm working on that

Ok so my new doctor comes in the room...short..spunky...she's cool-I am comfortable with her.
She had asked me to shave my head for easier access to scalp blood vessels. She starts tapping my skull for a good one and finds one on the side. She swabs it with alcohol and warns me that even though she's using a Pediatric Butterfly needle this isn't going to feel good (really???).
Then she stabs me...HOLY MOTHER OF CRAP THAT HURT!
No blood so she changes the angle of the needle...gets a "flash" of blood but no steady flow. No other vessels are good enough to try.
So in October or January depending on my schedule, I'm dragging Suz with me and they're going for a groin shot. After which I will have to sit there for 1/2 hr-45 mins with a nurse applying pressure on it, then go home and apply Ice Pack pressure and not do much for the rest of the day (ie a day off of work).
Now I know why we haven't tried to get blood for 15+ years from me.
Friday I had a horrible day Friday so I took a 1/2 day-just had bad calls and an overall blah feeling. Went out for a Fish Fry and went home.
Walked puppy and relaxed. Suz came home in a worse mood then me. Ends up Friday morning she walked into work and they had been flooded overnight from a bad hot water tank. 2" of water covering the entire first floor. 30 towers toasted as they were sitting on the floor. She's lucky the water didn't get into their file drawers. She ended up spending all day moving herself and others to a different floor. She was spent when she got home-emotionally and physically.
The Fran Clan were back in town Saturday...we went out to dinner. Then Suz went home to chill and I went to Fran's parent's house (after destroying a Target bathroom....Lactose Intolerance, ya know). We ADORE his family. They are some of the funniest people we know.
Good times after a rough night....
Very proud of Suz...she did a 3.5 mile charity walk/run in 1 hour:2 minutes. She's never been able to do that before because of weight issues, but with the 49 pounds she's lost she is definitely moving up in the world....I'll just sit and watch...this is fun to watch :)
BE DISABLED--Have a physical impairment of some kind.
There's a picture on the right sidebar of me...yes I am in a wheelchair. I have 1 finger on each hand (I still type faster than you nyahhhh) and shortened amputated legs. I use a warp-driven, Commie-stomping electric wheelchair.
Well it was decided at my new doc that bloodwork needed to be done. I haven't had blood drawn in 20+ years. I have really small veins. One look and their lab personnel ran screaming. They called the hospital phlebotomists--they ran screaming.
Come on--these are the people who do this for a living!!
It was always joked about they'd have to "go south" for the blood...ummm....WRONG ANSWER. Now my doc herself is going to do it-using a Pediactric blood draw kit, have me shave my head (which I routinely do anyways) and try it from a spot on my head.
This should be downright comedic.
Saturday we ran around and lost our mind...
Sunday we went and worked out. Then we had dinner with the Fran Clan and saw the Star Wars movie. Of course we had the post-movie Ice Cream time where Fran nearly made me snarf Mint-Chocolate Ice Cream.
It was a fun night!
