My niece has gotten kind of sassy and bratty. I love her but she's driving me nuts. My sister's been ramping up the discipline, but I think she's just going through a phase or something. She's around kids (and TV) more in preschool and is just picking up a lot of new things... not ALL good.

Does she have her own flavor of sass?

Noooope, she's pretty much a clone of my sister and me at that age. And my god we were so smartass. I'm surprised mom didn't kick our asses every day.

...Actually she's a clone of us around more like 10 or so. So she's way ahead of us.

Turns out it might take up to six months to completely cure/recover from the infection in my leg. But they did rule out amputation and a vascular exam showed blood flow through the limb is actually quite good. No clots.

Have to wait until (hopefully) tomorrow to order my new computer. Trying to pay for it was flagged as 'unusual activity' on the credit card, and their phone lines are a) packed or b) having technical issues tonight.

Bleh.

Whoa man. Do you mind if I ask what caused it? My bass play has had a really nasty leg infection thats caused him to have to go get meds twice this summer due to it causing flu-ish like symptoms.

Damn. You could have been totally cooler with a prosthetic leg, along the lines of a T-888.

What?

I got a scratch on my leg, it got infected, it stayed infected. I couldn't afford the doctors visits so I figured either it would get better or kill me, whichever. It did neither. Apparently the infection damaged some blood vessels though there aren't any clot, but the area is prone to swelling. Without surgery, there's a limit to how much better it's going to get.

And I am not going to get a robotic leg for you, .Amy. You have to take me as I am or not at all. :p

Jack Daniel, the guy who invented the whiskey by the same name, died of blood poisoning after kicking a safe. Small wounds can have big consequences. Glad to hear yours wasn't worse.

I decided last week that it wouldn't be so bad to try doing a Vlog. I've stumbled upon dozens of horrible vlogs before, and fear of achieving mediocrity--or worse, producing crap--have kept me from it in the past. But it's actually always something I've wanted to do, provided I can do a good job of it.

I'm not sure if I've been doing a good job, but I do feel like I'm improving, even after only three attempts. This is in the baby rant thread, though, because I JUST missed my self-set deadline of once every three days, which kinda sucks.

The internet just revealed to me who The Stig actually is.

Intrigue ruined.

It's not Michael Schuemacher - he was just the Guest Stig for the Ferrari F-XX, I'm pretty sure - it was his personal vehicle. That particular model of Ferrari is, in essence, a great con job by Ferrari. You pay them a million dollars, and they keep the car at the factory. If you want to visit your car, you can go to Modesto, Italy, to the Ferrari plant, and they will take you and your car to a track for a few hours.

I've probably said this before, but it bears repeating. I find it a little strange that so many of my female friends talk about wanting a gay guy friend in the same way that they might talk about getting a poodle. Kinda weird.

your friends are idiots. i'm pretty sure gay guys don't want to be fashion accessories and to even think that way is pretty lame brained

Hello, no electricity. How are you tonight? It's so nice you could stop by and knock off my fans tonight. Anyway, I have to sleep now and am typing on what doubles as my alarm clock so I'll let you be. Be a dear and don't stay too long though. I've things to do tomorrow and simply can't have you gaming around all day. I'm sure you understand.


Hugs and kisses,

Phil.

So I awoke this fine morning, and immediately felt the strong urge to sneeze.

Still half asleep, I was just barely quick enough to cover my mouth with my hand as I let loose a barrage of wet, sloppy sneezes. My hand is now covered in what I assume to be snot. Gross.

As if that wasn't nasty enough, my nose started to run. Had a cold for the past couple of days so nothing really unusual. Finally kind of coherent, I grab some tissue and blow. Only now my nose is running even harder.

.....

I turn on the light.

There's blood on the wall. There's blood on my sheets. My hand is covered in blood. Tissues are soaked......in blood.

I don't really have time to soak in the bloodied mayhem around me because I have to sneeze again.

I can say with much assurance that this was not the smoothest start to a day that I've ever had.

Go to a Dr. and just make sure you don't have a tumor in your brain, or something.

No kidding. That's how my Uncle Phil found out the "sinus infection" he'd had for two years was a tumor. Lost pretty much most of the left side of his facial bones in the removal. He woke up one morning with a blood-covered pillow from a nosebleed. Two different doctors over the previous two years had chalked the pain and pressure off to a chronic sinus infection.

Nah, I felt much better once I had gotten all that excess plasma and cells out of me.

What a relief.

That's horrifying. Good thing I'm not one to linger on such remote possibilities.

Oh wait.

I might consider the former but no way am I doing the latter.
