It sounds like they're a bit heavy handed with the sensoring. I'm very surprised they gave in on a single request to remove references. It doesn't sound like you were taking sides or trying to totally hijack the thread to me. Craziness!

It's a MADHOUSE!!!!!
--Charleton Heston, Planet of the Apes
(That's just one of my favorite movie lines ever, and I like to throw it in anywhere it occurs to me. I generally restrain myself. Except when it comes to that freakish monkey biking film from the 60s that beta posted...or excessive censorship on the BJ site.)Run like a dachshund! Ride like a superhero!

Nanci, Dennis is taken
Alas, Dennis at the LBS appears to be taken. I went to their site to email John with thanks for helping me so much yesterday. I read the history of the shop...and it turns out "JoAnne and Dennis" own it. Wanna bet they're not just business partners?
Alas. Is this like women in labor adoring their anesthesiologist? heheheheheh! L.

Lise - how is photographer guy? Or the other one???
We are watching ST-TNG again - Ferengi. It is so funny to hear a 4 year old try to figure out what a Ferengi is. We have finally convinced her that Warf is a good guy. She says she does not like the ones with the big wrinkles on their heads.
Made spaghetti tonight - yummmmm!

Ferengi are tough to figure out. Perhaps the most morally ambiguous characters in the ST roster. Do you remember early, early ST, when Klingons just looked sort of Middle Eastern (as I recall)? Must've had a small makeup budget for that season! I love ST. I never got into Voyager or the retro one very much. But a boxed set of TNG or DS9 would see a lot of action in my DVD player!
Photo guy--I wrote him this morning, he wrote back, sounding interested, I wrote back again...I realized I was feeling anxious about him finding out I'm in recovery, so I just took the bull by the horns and mentioned it in my last email. I haven't heard back from him yet. If that's something he doesn't want in his life, or makes him not want to get to know me further, then let's hear it now. Before I meet him and like him and kiss him, all the while thinking, "....yeah, but when you learn this about me, you'll be gone." The guy I was seeing in March stopped calling me after I told him. I don't know that's the reason, as he never told me. When I said it, fairly casually, he just said, "OK", no other response. Slept with me that night, kissed me goodbye in the morning affectionately, and ... into the wind.
The other guy sent me his number, and I emailed back that I'll call him tomorrow. I'm on-call for the hospital tonight. I just got report from the midwife ahead of me--she had 5 deliveries in her shift, so, by the numbers, I should have a quiet night. I took a 90 min nap, and didn't feel like having another "getting to know you" conversation tonight.
Moooore will be revealed. fish, how're your body and spirit feeling today?Run like a dachshund! Ride like a superhero! Swim like a three-legged cat!

Thanks for asking Lise! I'm feeling better every day. My bruises are looking quite awesome - nice tones of yellow and green. Very nice under the fluorescent lights at work. When I bend my right knee, the entire thing is bruised. It's hard to see that when it's straight.
I told the story a gazillion times at work today. Hopefully that will end tomorrow. My mind is doing better. I felt a bit more like normal today. I'm going to wait until Saturday to ride/run. I had my occupational health surveillance program checkup today and told the doc about my crash. He said that I very likely did have a concussion. I figured taking a week off after that would not be a bad idea. Saturday morning I ride!!!!! I keep looking at my new PI shoes and say good morning to my bike when I go through the garage. It's getting to be time to get back on and ride!
I hope you have an easy on-call night.
I grew up watching the original ST - from about my daughter's age. The old Klingons did look a bit different. At least they didn't have a pretty bob-cut like Warf. I never liked that look for him.
Talk to ya tomorrow!
G'night all!
