    What would you do?  I really want the fan on when he is sleeping in there, but I hate to be turning on and off my neighbors light, esp at night.  

    That is nuts!  I would talk to an electrician.

    The outcome:  She knew which nurse it was, and I'll be writing a letter.  She did apologize several times.  I feel better about all of that now.

    I only have 1 gall stone.  However, it's the size of Utah.  Looks like the stone and the gall bladder will be coming out.  Wheeeee. 

    Appt. with surgeon tomorrow.  I'm hoping to wait until next month for removal.  I don't think I'll be cleared for lake swimming a week post incisions, and we're not done with lake swimming yet.  I'll trade a month of nausea for that. ;)

    Thanks for the support, pals.

    On the plus side, I've heard the larger the stone, the less intensley painful they are.  Lucky you! 

    I'm betting they will let you wait a month before surgery.  They are usually only in a hurry if it's extremely painful or if there is a chance the stones could interfere with your liver and cause long term damage.  "Utah" probably won't be going anywhere.  Big Smile

    75% of my ceiling fans are remote operated.  75% of my ceiling fans don't currently work.  Just so happens those 75% are the same.  I need to call an electrician.

    Also, I think that is hilarious.

    Question:  When your neighbors turn off their light, does it shut your fan off?

  • I just lied to my boss.

    We were talking about books and I mentioned that The Help is very good.  She asked if I own it.  I knew the next question was going to be, could she borrow it.

    Even though I do own it, I lied and told her I didn't and I got it from the library.  I've lended her books twice in the past.  The first one, she did eventually return, but it was like six months later.  The second one, I never got back because her kids destroyed it.

    So, I'm not lending her anymore of my books!

  • Puns!  I love them, thanks Chymes.  Recovery should be speedy.  Our own DesandMol is now my gallstone mentor.

    Mol, yeah, not so much intense pain, but nausea...  I am lucky.  I've been reading about the pain, and I'm sorry you experienced it.

    I can't believe she didn't buy you a replacement book. I know it isn't the same as getting back the book you actually read, but at the very least I would have given you a B&N gift card.

    Yup.  That's not cool.  I have 5 weeks between classes after this weekend.  I think The Help is on my reading list.

    She sent me an email to tell me about it and offered to replace the book or give me a gift card.  But, I kind of felt weird saying essentially, "Yes, buy me a new book, please."  So, I just told her not to worry about it.

  • The boss should have just handed you a gift card.  Asking leaves the door open too much, I guess.

    I thought so too.

    Yeah - she put you in an awkward position. I would have responded the same way as you did. 

    And after that, I would have lied to her about the library, too!
