A long time ago, when this blog was much newer, Steve’s trusty laundry basket went missing out of the laundry room of the apartment building where we lived. We thought it was a weird thing to steal, but it was quickly replaced and we rolled our eyes and moved on with life. That incident was …

What Does My Poop Say?
I put off writing about this because the subject matter is kind of gross, but the question enters my mind, so here it is. *hides face* This is so embarrassing. Back a little while ago, when Chadwick Boseman died of colon cancer at age 43, everybody was talking about simple ways you can watch out …
Groupon…A Ventilator
I have a question for other people who have Groupon. Does it appear like Groupon is trying to kill us? I have been getting tons and tons of offers that don’t sound very safe, one after the other. tours of Niagara falls, eating in at restaurants, facials and other procedures that mean taking off your …
I Like This Boat!
Not…gonna…cry…not…gonna…cry…oops! Well…at least this song is happier than the last one. Lyrics are at the bottom of the post in the great chaotic tangle that they are. They’re written chaotically because that’s how they sounded to me. I figured it was time for another update on how we are. Things are as alright as they …
How Is Telemarketing Still A Thing?
When I was young, it made sense. We didn’t have call display. Nobody had call display. Whenever the phone rang, we had to answer it. There was as good a chance that your grandma or your dad’s work would be on the other end as there was that you’d end up talking to some fucking …
Another Trip Through The MRI
I wish I’d discovered this song last time. Or maybe I don’t. Yes, I was told to go back to the MRI for another scan. Basically, last time I was sent there, they found an itcy bitcy teeny weeny spot on my pituitary. Hmmm that almost works like the yellow Polka dot Bikini song. Anyway …
They’d Be Broke
It occurs to me as I sit here with the song playing in the background that the Barenaked Ladies are lucky that they wrote “If I Had $1000000” when they did. Had they written it today, they’d have gotten to the line about buying a house and that would be it. I wish I was …
I Sometimes Feel Old!
I just got this from Gill. It’s funny that she happened to send it now, since I’m having my own bout of the elderlies this week. Seppa-Tebby-Tebby is in Junior Kindergarten. Seriously. I don’t know how that happened. Today is his third day. From what I hear, he seems to like it. I’m supposed to …
Not All Medicine Is Star Trek Medicine
I’ve been thinking a bit more about Carin’s post. She’s totally right. I pretty much only watch Star Trek when other people make me, but I’ve seen more than enough to get how hilarious it is. But there’s at least one drug that doesn’t come straight out of some alien world. Skyrizi. Maybe I’m the …
Space: The Pharma Frontier
You can tell that because we’re at home more, there’s more time for things on TV to seep into my subconscious. One day, I looked at Steve and said “So many names of drugs sound like things out of Star Trek!” I think he thought I was nuts, but he humoured me, and eventually I …
