Welcome to Part 1077 of the Soulful Spike Society [/center] I suppose we could always try our luck here, but I don't need no stinking classes to be able to predict that a fun time will be had by all who stop by. Provided, of course, that you read and live by our rules.Once you do, you'll know that certain topics are off limits on the main board. However, never fear: we do have a separate thread where you can share your thoughts on those particular subjects. Oh, and posting spoilers anywhere but here will, without question, bring the wrath of the S'cubies down on your head--as well as other body parts. Sensitive body parts. If this is your first time visiting, please sure to check out the great reviews and essays on the S3 home page—the awesome includes Erin's takes on the master's new series Dollhouse.Okay, that about covers it. Go forth and post!

I sprained my ankle today , but then I got some 2nd years to do some OPP on it , so we'll see how that goes . You get to be a teaching case! Good luck on it feeling better. And you're more than welcome to stop by, out here in the panhandle, come your roadtrip, if it's not too far out of the way for you. I can't swear I can put you up in my house, as it's sort of a disaster area at the moment with me replacing drywall and dust and crap everywhere. *is embarrassed at not being able to offer proper hospitality to road-tripping s'cubies*

Thanks again, especially since the necessity of finding the photo a home resulted in one of Franklin's rare but thorough cleaning frenzies. Julia, meanwhile, I am about ready to fall into a massive Farscape video festival

Sorry about the little wrinkle on it: I failed to get it to a rigid backing before I got bumped by a wookiee. Btw, full box set on DVD coming out this fall, for cheaper than Season 2 by itself now.

We're getting it as an all-family treat. Julia, I'm possibly going to bulk erase the tapes, or just move them out to the barn

Staggering back onto the board after an "eventful" weekend. For anyone who isn't on my lj or facebook, this is the tale of my weekend, under the cut. Halloween was perking along. I had rehearsal Saturday morning and then ran a bazillion errands in the afternoon. Saturday night I was scheduled to work at Germain again for our fundraising booth. I did have a Halloween party I was invited to but since I had just turned in a $1200.00 check for costumes, I decided to go with the earning money option. I wore a french maid costume (recycling a costume from my production of Annie) and everything went well though I did hear a dozen versions of will you come up and clean my room later.
I woke up around 2:30 am and used the bathroom but couldn't go back to sleep. I tried every position and nothing worked. Then I started feeling nauseated and ended up throwing up (isn't this a lovely tale?) Pain kept getting worse and I started lying on the floor and various positions to try and ease the pain. My son Sam woke up and eventually I decided we had better go to the hospital because I was dying.
By the way, I hate hospitals, hate doctors, never go if I can help it. So . . . . I sort of knew I probably had some sort of kidney problem as the pain was in my left lower back and it probably was a kidney stone and I knew if I could deal with the pain it would eventually get better but man. Pain? Not so much fun. It felt like someone had a knife and was doing their best to repeatedly stab me in the back. Or what I imagine a knife would feel like.
Anyway, Halloween in the middle of the night in a crowded ER that was understaffed to begin with? When we got there a huge group was in one side of the room, a shirtless guy and his buddy on the other, various people scattered about. I was worse and as we were registering started having dry heaves, trying to vomit. Shirtless guy kept trying to help, really nice but I was out of it.
It took 3 hours before I was finally taken back. 3 hours of me dying with pain. I kept sliding out of the chairs, trying to find a position I could endure this with. Gah. Finally the nurse let me wait in a triage room that had a recliner I could stretch out in. Eventually the nurse examined me and I got a shot of pain killer which completely took all the pain away and put me in that drowsy half awake, half drugged out state. Cat scan (hold your breath, you may now breathe) accomplished and then back to wait in a room for another 3 hours. Most of which I was out of but finally, finally a doctor showed up, said yep kidney stone, still there but if you feel good enough you can go home.
I was so happy to get out of there. I was still feeling pretty bad most of yesterday but I think I finally passed the stone in the afternoon as I started feeling better late in the day.
So in conclusion, kidney stones suck and ER's are not nearly as much fun as they look on tv. Anyway, hope everyone had a much better Halloween then I did!

You couldn't have planned for a worst day for a trip to the ER. No McDreamy or Steamys on staff? I'm glad to hear you are feeling better.
