LadyCrimson Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 I'm glad your mother came to visit, Woldan. Good thing she was there. Today I'm going to buy a new slow-cooker and make some tasty beef soup. The grey weather has me in the mood for such. Plus it makes the house smell nice. 1 “Things are as they are.

Nepenthe Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Oh yeah, forgot to mention the high point of my day: a corporate law client with a tiny waist and absolutely enormous breasts that she liked to prop on my desc during the meeting. Seriously, I wished I had some way of taking a picture just as a rebuttal of "unrealistic and cartoonish" body types, but apparently a massive rack does fall under client attorney privilege... Hehe, "fall under"... 3 You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Labadal Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Today I learned we can't show DVD/BD movies to the kids at work. Some copyright infringement BS law that has apparently been passed. That means no more movies in school! We can't even keep the ones we bought. Politicians...

Guard Dog Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I'm watching the Japan/Russia womens hockey game. Apparently these ladies think a check is something you buy groceries with. There has been 0 contact in this game. On another note some of the Russian players are hot. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
AGX-17 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Distraught because my local public radio station is doing their membership drive and, thus, I'm too irritated to listen, so now I have no idea what's happening in the world. Also, wishing there were more HD closeups of womens' speedskating. That is not as lewd as it sounds. OK, maybe it is. -Portlanders are as inept dealing with snow, ice and slush as usual (excluding those persons who actually go to the mountains a proverbial stones throw from the city.) Some morons spinned out in front of my driveway and are cursing loudly while ineptly placing wooden planks before their front wheels. I feel no inclination toward aiding these people as they are "neighbors" who frequently cause audio disruptions late at night. By "neighbors" I mean "hostile invaders who have violated my lifelong territory whose attachments to this place are fleeting at best." Edited February 12, 2014 by AGX-17

Azdeus Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Today I got a free and FAST ride with the ambulance and got free bed & breakfast at the intensive care station in the hospital. The bad news is my face and neck looks like I lost in a ghetto knife fight. Today early in the morning my mother visited me because I'm sick, we had a conversation when she suddenly screamed at me. My first thought was ''WTF, why is she screaming at me all of a sudden?....and why the hell am I laying on the floor and bleeding from my nose? Turns out I just collapsed in the middle of the conversation and I did not remember it, she said I collapsed like a fell tree, hit the desk with my head and was laying on the ground staring at the ceiling not responding for 5 minutes. She even slapped me in the face and I was not responding. Total brain switch off. The same thing happened again when the rescue crew arrived, I just passed out for 4-5 minutes and I did not notice it. My blood pressure dropped down to 37 and they panicked and hastily readied adrenaline injections when I woke up again. At the hospital they said it was caused by a bad combination of dehydration, lack of nutrients in my blood and the stomach flu. Doc said my heart is super fine, just like the rest of my body. I'm just glad its not neurological and I didn't knock my teeth out. I released myself though, they wanted to keep me for a couple of days but the boredom was driving me insane. Stomach flu sucks on so many levels. ****, I hope you get well soon, that sounds awful! Take care of yourself. I'm watching the Japan/Russia womens hockey game. Apparently these ladies think a check is something you buy groceries with. There has been 0 contact in this game. On another note some of the Russian players are hot. I did see some of the lingerie images of those russian players, and I sort of wonder how the hell they are able to play hockey because they had very little visible muscle to talk of. But then, what you say rings true with what I saw. If there's very little body contact you don't really need the mass and muscles in the same way. I actually prefer watching clean games, not that I mind checking if it's done properly, but players seem to have some sort of retardation wich prevents them from keeping the stick on the ice and hands away from faces...

Raithe Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Well the wind is howling, the trees outside are bending, and the coast is being lashed by the channel waters. The neighbours house has lost some more roofing tiles that have exploded against our wall. I was going to lay in bed to let a headache pass, but the combination of a desire for tea, and a bloody nose drove me from the covers. So now I am having a lunch(ish) pause to drink fresh tea, and have some blueberry pancakes ... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Stomach flu sucks on so many levels. It's always a shock when the body goes "okay, that's enough, I'm taking over" after you've been ignoring the red flags for a while. Looks like you need to throttle back a bit—hope your obligations allow for it. Last time I got a stomach flu I had to cut recovery shorter than I would have otherwise because I was at risk of missing an important exercise involving explosives priming, machinegun field practice and crawling. Mostly crawling. Anyway, get well soon bud. I bet PI work nowadays is 90% browsing through people's Facebook.
