Oh I really hope I don't give d4rk shingles. Same virus. vsomethingerothervelociraptor-zoster virus. I remember my grandma having it- what a nightmare. I hope I don't get it later either. If I do, I'm pulling a Roose or Ramsay Bolton on my own hide.

So we have Tim Murray, can we get Bill Murray too?

Tim Murray looks like he hangs around old cigarette machines in the foyers of shady diners. Craig Patrick though. Man. This is awesome.

Can I design your labels? :P

I was at AccelCare in Henrietta on Jefferson Road. Hope whatever brought you there is doing better today! haha d4rk was referencing this episode last night. I've never seen it. Changing that now :) I'm slathered in calamine at the moment. They gave me some fun chalky horse pill that'll kill it from the inside, too.

I have chicken pox. I don't know how. I had the vaccine as a kid. Never had them before. I felt truly awful last week and thought it was just a flu bug that wouldn't end. Then the spots appeared the day I got into my car accident. I thought it was ringworm from working with infected rescue cats over break. I finally couldn't take it any longer last night and it took two incredulous doctors at urgent care to confirm that yes, I have chicken pox. AND ringworm, as previously suspected. Holy crap I am an itchy bitch right now. It's like a swarm of mosquitoes descended upon me and turned me into a spotted, itching plague vector. Between that, still not knowing if my car is totaled or not and some local insane dude running around the area with an assault rifle last night and this morning, I'm ready for a change in luck. Still a light complaint in the grand scheme of things. But urgh.

My favorite is Scrivens lovingly staring into your/the camera's soul for almost an entire interview. I can dig up the video if someone so desires. Hello? Is it me, you're looking for? in case you didn't get that

Aww, I'm so sorry for your loss. And bbb's as well. :( One of the hardest times I've ever cried was when I had to bury one of my cats. That same month or so, the kitten we got to replace him passed away unexpectedly as well. Up until that point, when one passed, my parents did the sad work and kept us kids out of it. They're furry family, and it's kind of embarrassing to admit that I've cried more over pets than most people I've lost over the years. The important thing is that they move on from pain. I avoided getting a pet for a long time because I didn't want to face that again. (And I know it's unpopular here for obvious reasons, but i dig the shirt! I'll take my dirty Detroit roots somewhere else, now.)

I love the scenery of that movie. It's one that I actually will crave to watch occasionally. Eddie Vedder's music actually fits in pretty well, too. Really gets my wanderlust going and makes me miss the west like crazy. One of these days I should actually read the book.

Well boo. No reason to eat bad bar food and drink beers and yell at complete strangers for me tonight.

I'll admit that I got really protective when I was watching the final episode of 24/7 and Phaneuf called him a little rat.

This has been educational.

I'm personally looking forward to some beer and gre-hee-heeasy cheese fries at a bar while watching the game. Puhleeeze don't cancel it. It's the Hurricane, a name which assumes high winds and chaos, playing a Buffalo team, which is a city known for cold temps and snow- it was meant to be.

Team Canada just announced. Giroux the most obvious snub, him and St. Louis. Thornton also not on the team. Seems to be an unofficial assumption that Giroux would be an alternate if Stamkos can't make it. Other names, Vlasic, Bouwmeester, Weber, Nash, Carter, Crosby, Toews, Kunitz, Sharp, Keith... etc. Panties are twisting in Philly and all over Canada...

It's one of my dreams to see them and the aurora australis someday. I'm borderline obsessed with Alaska, arctic, and antarctic studies/explorations as well as mountain climbing. Those lights though... man, I just can't imagine too many things that would be much more magical than seeing them.

Oh! Oh! I have one! Breath vs breathe. I see people write things such as "I was so shocked I couldn't breath" or "just breath" and "I just have to take a deep breathe and ..." Very similar on the annoying factor to lose vs loose which I know was mentioned earlier in this thread. And I saw the highway/freeway debate going on earlier- where I come from, we talk about the turnpike. The first time I referred to I-90 as the turnpike to d4rk, he acted as if I'd just uttered unspeakable horrors or babbled the Necronomicon. Thru-way. I get it. Geeeez.

OH MY GOD that's my favorite spot in Paris. I ate there every time I was around the Marais if I could. There was a man with a large white moustache who worked there who would always try to sing "Pretty Woman" in terrible english/french to me and blow me a kiss as he gave me my falafel. Never had a better falafel in my life.

haha oh I'm no longer in my experimental phase and there's no alcohol around... Chz hasn't got anything to worry about ;)

haha I totally didn't check this thread before posting about the accident in the f'n friday thread. All is well, considering. Thank you guys for your concern and thank you d4rk for being there for me. Now let's see how goofy my posts can get when I'm on flexeril :P

Well, because the complaint thread isn't open, here's the positives, which are what you should always try to focus on. I got into a helluva accident this morning. My car might be totaled. Guy in front of me lost control on the highway at a really dangerous spot (390/590 northbound split in rochester), I had nowhere to get around him, he weaved in front of me, I lost control too, we slammed together and spun off the side. The f'n fantastic part is that almost immediately some brave/kind souls pulled over and helped divert traffic until we could get our cars out of the road a bit. One was a paramedic, the other some great guy in a knee brace. D4rk lost most of his work day helping shuttle me around and sit in waiting rooms while I messed with insurance, urgent care, getting scrips (yay muscle relaxers) and getting a rental car. Seriously, whatta guy. Physically everyone walked away. Which is great. I have heavy drugs, which is great. I have insurance and the whole thing didn't become a horrible pileup, which is great. No citations were issued at the time either, so that's probably great too. Not looking forward to the car shuffle game if it's totaled (it's a lease in Ohio). But step at a time. Take it easy out there, even if it looks clear. When it's this cold, ###### freezes. And yeesh, be grateful- things really change fast and sometimes it takes a scary car accident to remind you of that.

STILL cannot shake this flu bug I've had for at least a week. Thought I was getting over the hump yesterday and today, back to being dizzy and sweating... Shaking, nauseous... I am really over this. On the plus side, it's great for weight loss... On the bad side of that, I've dropped below what's a healthy weight for me. I like being healthy and having energy, not lying around being able to see my bones because I can't eat or keep in food.

Everyone is arguing about judgment judgement today and my boss sends an email using "judgement" several times. Then again, he has not figured out the difference between your and you're and misspells just about everything. In response I started a pun thread and all is well. Also. Hey d4rk- I won't use anymore at the end of a sentence anymore. God that makes my eyes hurt anymore.

Nah, I volunteer at a horse rescue. We do get a lot of beat up ex-Amish owned horses though. Weather like this makes it tough though- you whinny some and you lose some.

Super cold everywhere. Not looking forward to working with jumpy horses and pushing heavy wheelbarrows in knee high snowdrifts and crazy wind this weekend but... I AM looking forward to trying out snowshoes for the first time and hopefully getting out on a frozen pond!

This is what I have heard as well, mostly from Detroit media personalities. I can't quote them because frankly, none of it is official. Helene St. James is the most trustworthy account I have heard/read. General consensus seems to be Miller 1 and Howard bumped to 3. Given how lackluster/injured his season has been, it's not a surprise.
