To my great relief, my iPad Mini was covered for accidents, so I only had to pay a $50 deductible for a replacement. 

[Jane]

Had a very emotional plea hearing this morning.  My client cried, his mom and dad cried his uncle cried....it doesn't make me cry, but being in the middle of all the emotion  does take a little out of me. So, I came home for  lunch, will shake if off and head back to work refreshed

I can imagine that is draining, would be worse though if you cried

Cute mouse

JRand, I know that.  I'm just not sure that seeing it on Broadway outweighs all the preparations to go, the cost of everything I have to do to go and the fact I don't want to leave home.  If I knew I could see Mr. H, I may still go, but it's looking like he'll be too busy, so that makes it a whole lot easier to just stay home.

Will you only be out the cost of the theater ticket at this point have you also paid for the flight?

What a tragic final chapter to that golden story from last year's Olympics".  Oscar Pistorius (Blade Runner) charged with the murder of his girlfriend.

[TCB]

Cute mouse

He was, until Nicky ate him.   

[MBarnum]

I saw that on the news this morning, DR TCB. Shocking and sad.

[MBarnum]

That is, the news had the story on Oscar Pistorius, not the news on Nicky eating the cute mouse.

Yup.

I am celebrating Valentine's Day by getting a very scary treatment for my bones.  It is given by IV and lasts for a year, which also means it is in my system at least that long and I can't get it out if there are undesirable side effects.

The first side effect, and very unlikely is on my kidneys.  Oops, forgot I need to drink lots of water this morning as I also did yesterday.

[Jane]

The most common side effect can happen within 3 days from a mild reaction to full blown symptoms that mimic the flu lasting up to 14 days.

[Jane]

Why am I doing this then, because breaks hurt like heck.

Oh, I don't cry at these things. They don't make me sad.  It's what happens when you get caught committing a crime and plead guilty.  It's just draining to deal with a group of people who are all emotionally distraught

The scandal of horse meat being passed off as beef rumbles on. An abattoir was raided in the UK this week for making beef burgers out of horse meat, so we can't blame all those pesky foreigners after all. Yesterday, when I travelled back from Brussels on the train, I ordered a cheeseburger and as the picture on the package displays a cow I’m sure it was genuine beef. It was also made in France. On second thoughts I wonder if that “Hummm…” on the package should say “Hmmm…?" Needless to say, the actual squashed burger looked nothing like the picture on the packet.

I paid for the flight months ago and just paid the change fee to reschedule this time.  I'll be out that and the ticket and that's it.  Compared to about $750-$1000 more it will cost if I get another ticket to a show on Thursday, eat, sleep in a hotel for 2 nights, board Callie, pay a cat sitter for the others, pay parking, do a little shopping etc.  Not to mention missing a couple days of income, but I may do that anyway and stay home and clean

What a wonderfuul Valentine's gift for Nicky

The cost of traveling really adds up quickly.

I have never been to Brussels.  Thank you for the beautiful photos DR Doug.

First of all, let me say "Thank You" to everyone who offered vibes and good wishes.

Let me say, that the field of medicine has progressed a great deal in the last thirty years.  The myelogram was uncomfortable at times, but it wasn't the agonizing experience that I had before.  And the fact that the doctor was a cutie didn't hurt.  I have to spend most of the next 24 hours on my back, with only a few minutes  sitting or standing.  I won't know anything about the results of the test for, at least, a couple of weeks.

I hope they told you about the following 24 hours prior to the test.   Good news it wasn't an agonizing experience.  No wonder you didn't want to go.

MEGA GOOD TEST RESULT VIBES!!!

Good test result vibes from me too.!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DR Vixmom I'm sorry about your car.

Terrible someone would hit you and leave.

This morning, on Facebook, Ben changed his avatar to his dad's photo.  He posted this
My dad had the bluest eyes I ever saw and thru those eyes he saw the world in all its magnificence. Today we donated his corneas with the hope somebody else will be able to see the world thru his beautiful eyes. What a cool and comforting thought.

Awww!  Beautiful and brought tears to my eyes.

Made me teary too!

I'm feeling a bit waterlogged at the moment
