    My arms are now covered with deep, puss oozing wounds.

    I am now safe at my other daughter's house where the cats are big fuzzballs begging for belly rubs...
    I've never met a cat who pulled this against me. I a cat had who decided when I was young that one of my uncles couldn't be alone with me and chased him out of my room. My aunt was perfectly fine but if my uncle came to check on me there might be blood.

Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

      For 2 solid weeks I have been woke up at some point during the night by charlie horses, and now they have moved from the calves up to the back of my thighs. I eat a banana or two almost every day, I drink tons of water, I am constantly moving. I have no idea what the crap to do to get rid of them. I try sleeping a different way NOTHING. I have an appointment with my Midwife next Tuesday but don't think I will be able to wait that long.... who the crap said this was fun again?????? They lied.

        Ouchie!!! Back of the thighs would cane. Have you tried magnesium? You could try spray on that you apply to shoulders, hips, thighs then calves, tablets or powder.

              Its my phone's autocorrect--it was supposed to be GB for Great Britain. Instead, it gave me an abbreviation I saved to the dictionary for something else!

                  It drives me mad when people think they're so important that they can dictate how others use language around them. If you want me to address you in a particular way, or give you some special pronoun, fine.. ask me.. NICELY, but don't get all pissy if I don't psychically know this information, or if I forget.

                    I had to wait 2 hours at the blood lab to give my blood. Then the tech asks me how long it's been since I last ate. 15 dang hours! Take my blood. Plus it's currently 95 degrees and we have all 3 a/c units going on. AND the amber light on my power cord is blinking. I'm almost certain I'm going to have to go flip the circuit breaker back on any minute.

                    And I'm wearing a wet tank top that is drying faster than the speed of light.

                      ERm. Ma'am is not a southern thing. Its a manners thing. As in "Yes, sir/No, ma'am", etc. I call my CHILDREN sir/ma'am when it comes to manners.

                        Really now? I use Ma'am ALL the time at work because I can't be assed to guess whether someone is married just to figure out the correct formal address and I'm pretty sure that I deal with as many northern ****wits, brain dead O2 exchangers, general idiots, customers as I do southern ones. It's never been an issue.

                              That's the way it was for us. What was interesting is that Mom and Dad might be forgiving to them but our backsides were doomed if we didn't use it for other adults when speaking to them.

                              Personally I hate that MS thing. If they just state they prefer one over the other no big deal but when they push it I tend to say"Sorry didn't realize you were disabled. Ms is a horrible disease to have to live with" or something similar. Tends to piss them off but oh well.

                                Getting sick of the amount of coverage the BBC is showing of the US general election. I get that this is important to the whole world, but is it really so important that the last 2 nights have been dominated by the freaking Democratic Party conference? It's not my vote they're trying to win so why give it so much time? A short synopsis during the headlines would do. Live rolling coverage should just be for the voters.

                                Then to top it all off, I come to PF and there's an ongoing argument about politics here too. Out of its designated enclosure too. Give me strength.
