      Thanks, y'all. I'm stocking up on sleep. Remember when we were sent to bed before dark as kids and complained? I sent myself to bed before dark last night and LOVED it.

  2. RIP Red Sun, you were a once for a lifetime horse. Race the angels for me.

      He has a year left in high school, LB. This is a work-release type job where he'll take academic classes in the morning then off to work he goes. :D

  4. funky pigment-less skin + antibiotics = epic sunblock failure, debriding and silvadene cream. Wishing I had something stronger than Motrin in the house. Laid up for a bit folks. Hands took a lot of damage. Two fingered typing. :(

      Ouch! May I sugest drawing a bath that is two parts hot, one part cold and three parts baby oil and staying there until your skin regenerates, always helps when I get sunburn but I don't know if it will help if it's quite that bad. I hope you feel better soon.

      Thanks, dearies! Silvadene, cortisone and painful debriding ... but my hands are almost normal! My face unfortunately is not. :( When your prescription says to avoid sun, PLEASE do!

  8. Dr. Sister rocked the Cancer Society this weekend! Kiddo owned the stage at Dance Competition. TeenBoy went up against some of the best b-ballers in the nation, and, well, only won one game, but he managed to be the team's high scorer! Good weekend all around after the funeral! Go Team PW!

  9. last funeral for this week. Hopefully, the last for the year! Go Steelers!

  10. Tried to promise myself I’d write 100 words a day.  Failed.  Promised myself 50 words.  Wrote 500.  My muse is a witch.

      In the words of Binky from Life in Hell, “If you keep your expectations tiny, you’ll get through life without being so whiny.” Or you’ll write 10 times as many words as you expected.

      LOL!  Here’s to another 50 words tomorrow!

      According to my rough calculations, that means about 64 stories from now you and the staff will hunt me down and put me out of your misery. ;)

      LOL -- it's much easier wading now that I'm into the more current stories. No misery, just finding time to read!

  14. One of those days when I hate my job, hate the people I work with, hate the people I work for, hate the patients and I am pretty damn sure my kids hate me. Is it Friday yet?

      I just cannot believe, with everything the Rooney Family has invested in their football organization, that they sanctioned their team hiding in the locker room instead of standing on the field for the anthem.  Cowards.  I guess it is a silly thing to be upset over.  On the other hand, I'm ashamed and angry.  This is not representative of my Pittsburgh.  :(

       

    3. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Ah, of course. I’ve been trying not to let myself get upset over all of this. Frankly, I think Trump has done more to dishonor the flag, the anthem and this country than any athlete expressing his opinion as is his right. But Trump TALKED during the moment of silence for 9-11. The people I knew who died that day deserve better.

       

    4. pittwitch

      pittwitch

      Agreed.  Those who fought for anyone’s right to disrespect the flag and anthem deserve the respect of having them stand up, in public, and do so.  My issue is more with the fact that they hid.  IN a tunnel.  If someone feels strongly enough that they have to take a knee, by all means do so.  But do it where the world can see.

  19. ... heartbroken over the events in Pittsburgh today

  20. And the winner for the TSTL contest for the day: my employer at the track, "Leave the radio with the headset for someone who needs it." Uhm, okay. Will that person be taking down all of the race finishes, under pressure, with seven people screaming at them, 20 cars without mufflers warming up and roughly 125 generators running in the background? Or answering protests? Or directing the safety crews? Yes? Then WTF do you need me for?

      TSTL indeed! My blunt object recommendation of the day is the... SLEDGEHAMMER. Now go knock yourself out.

      The "frying pan of common sense" tm required to cure this. If you need to borrow it, that can be easily arranged somehow.

      I have a sledgehammer. I know how to use it. I didn't need it after I pointed out that everyone who had "issues" with line ups, protests, etc. would be directed to the author of the email. :D

  21. eyeballs the emergency Xanax or whiskey ...

  22. concussion boy failed the Impact test again. :(

  23. 7:15 a.m. – I’ve cussed my 18 year old 3 times already.  Not a good omen for the day.
