 NB>>> I can relate.  Both to the wish and the impossibility....
 ML>> He's got a job interview! In Chicago! Wish us luck.
 NB>> Luck, indeed...!  :)  How likely do you think getting the job would
 NB>> be...? 
 ML> I figure slim and none, as his outward presentation is

Um.  Yeah, not a good sign...  Depending on the interviewer, though, one
never knows... maybe they want someone just like him...??  ;)  Guess
we'll just have to wait and see...  :)

 NB>>> I hear the operative word... but it sure would be nice.  :)  Good
 NB>>> that he's getting back to normal, too...
 ML>> Though the Facebook noted that he was back in for
 ML>> something.
 NB>> Sigh.  Hope he's ok...
 ML> Turns out a false alarm. He was at the radiology office
 ML> for some purpose that had nothing to do with anything,
 ML> and his electronic tether "checked him in" and
 ML> broadcast to the universe that he was there.

Score 0 for electronic tether accuracy...  Good that it was a false
alarm, though.
 
 ML>> wisp of blood (when the GI hemorrhage was going, it was
 ML>> cups of the stuff), and I've starting bleeding from the
 ML>> nose again, which is sort of a good sign as I tend to
 ML>> bleed only one place at a time.
 NB>> One hopes, indeed.  :)  Does sound promising, though...  :) 
 ML> Turns out they gave me 2 liters of fluid and 2 units, so
 ML> I lost round about 5 pints, a substantial proportion of my
 ML> blood supply.

Not good, but at least you got it replaced... glad that's over with,
too... :)

 ML>> good, but the sharp, eh - I once complained

 NB>> I'll keep that in mind... I've been seeing it in the store, and so far

At least within the same brand, one hopes...  ;)  I had a ginger beer
once that made a big deal about how spicy it was, and warning the wimpy
not to try it... It wasn't nearly as ginger-y as I'd hoped for...  

Meanwhile, I noticed that I had a chunk of that Cabot Seriously Sharp
cheese sitting in my meat/cheese drawer... It has potential for actually
being rather sharp, as it is well past its expiry date...  ;)  Still
unopened... I forget when and why I got it... maybe a coupon...

ttyl         neb

... I used to be indecisive - now I'm not so sure!!
