I know you won't take this the wrong way, so I'll say I'm glad you two are back on the road. :^) Sure, my heart gives a flutter when I find out Sally is broken down and you have to spend another day with me. But at the same time, I know we both get antsy to return to our own routines--for you, it's a life on the road and for me, it's hanging out at home being a bookworm and watching cheesy movies. Plus we need the money, especially after our awesome-but-disastrous 3 weeks you were out of work.
Which reminds me--call Mister Landlord so he can come pick up our rent check!
Not at all. While the time spent with you is great and awesome, it's more of an aberration than the routine. One the one hand, that keeps things fresh and interesting for us and we never really get a chance to "get used" to one another, but at the same time, after an extended period we're both kinda like, can I please get back to my life now?
I'm currently sitting in some po-dunk town in western Tennessee while some guy changes two tires on the trailer. One of 'em blew out while LARM was driving: the tread came completely off and just left the sidewalls, taking the mudflap with it. He should have this done in about 15-20 minutes and we'll be rolling again, but we'll still have to stop in route and get the mudflap taken care of, too.
At least this is one I don't have to pay for. Heh.
About spending moeny I don't have: I had intended to let my XM subscription expire and not worry about it for the remainder of the year, but I apparently had set it up to auto-renew. I got charge $70 yesterday for another 6 months. Oops.
Interesting article. I'm no economics person by any stretch of the imagination, nor do I really follow it.
But I went to the ATA website to view their index report for myself, and I can't help but feel that the Slate article is making a mountain out of a molehill.
Yeah I know it's made bacteria more resistant. I presume that would eventually happen anyway, it's evolution after all, but there's no need in hurrying it along unnecessarily. I still think that by not giving your body the chance to fight it and build anti-bodies, due to early anti-biotic intervention, that we're cheating our immune system of the chance to develop natural resistances

Misdiagnosis sucks. I think the old addage is true: if you just don't agree with your doctor, get a second opinion. Get a third opinion. I think sometimes people place too much mystery on medicine. With the vast amount of resources we via the internet in this wonderous age of information, there's no reason that the patient can't have an informed opinion before ever going to the doctor. You're the one that lives inside your body and know it better than anyone else. :)

D'oh.
And I finally agree with lossfound: I hate your damn journal style.
So please taunt me with it in your comment reply.
