Great picture, I love these old gas stations but I had trouble reading the link. 😉 Well that front is sitting right over us and the rain is spotty but we should have a downpour at any minute lots of thunder boomers out there. The rain started just after dark but we only got .16″ overnight.

Bottom fell out 1.06 inches an hour, .29″ in about 5 minutes…..Film at 11. 😉
I’ve been watching the radar off and on since about 5 and most of the rain has passed just north of us, Troy has been getting hammered. -
3.12″ an hour, .66″ in 15 minutes or so. That’s a Houston rain right there.

I hope that it is OK to repost Dr phil Good‘s #82 from last night since it was late and this needs to be seen;
The Kentucky Swamp Turtle’s Vaseline cheek smokers 12 grabbed your ankles and bent you over again doing what they do best.
The list;
The 12 Republican senators that voted in favor of the bill included Roy Blunt (MO), Richard Burr (NC), Shelley Moore Capito (WV), Susan Collins (ME), Todd Young (IN), Joni Ernst (IA), Cynthia Lummis (WY), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Rob Portman (OH), Mitt Romney (UT), Dan Sullivan (AK), and Thom Tillis (NC)….AKA; the likely suspects. ~Spits~

The local weather gal is all excited because they spotted a Tarnader in Barbour County near Bakerhill, just SW of Eufaula.

I can’t leave Dave hanging out here all by himself. Good morning from the Texas Medical Center.
-
Good morning TexMo, I hope all goes well today we’ll keep you in our prayers. Oh and thanks. 😉

Good morning gang, and especially TexMo headed in to the slab for surgery. It’s 35 degrees out here this morning, and all the windows have condensate on them wince it was around 70 when I went to bed last night. Something must have blown through, but it did not have any associated rain. I’ll be headed out here soon for coffee. The lady that runs the TOK who went in for surgery last month called yesterday, and she is working with the owners to get opened back up here shortly. I’ll probably migrate back down there when she does since this new place is just a little too nice and does not have the character that I appreciate – I just prefer dives. I think SD probably knows what I’m talking about.
No other news to discuss this morning so far. You all have a great day, and keep on mh’s case until she goes to the doctor and gets a check-up. Make sure she knows that we are not letting up until she has it done.

#6 – Kneemail continues Brother!

Good Morning Gang and TexMo – our prayers are with you, as well….

I think there is a station like that in Hempstead? Navasota? Somewhere near there. Was a burger joint last time I saw it.

Texmo – prayers for your surgeon’s hands and your healing.

I’ve gotten hooked on a series called “Escaping Polygamy”. It’s my latest binge watching, until I get tired of it and move on. My Roku has a “Roku” channel, on which I can find a conglomeration of shows that it gathers from different channels, as well as a few originals that Roku puts out.
I’ve seen the series before through cable, but for some reason latched onto it again. It’s a show that features three sisters – same father, two mothers – that escaped a polygamist cult and now dedicate their lives to helping others escape, mostly women. Listening to these women describe their lives under polygamy is horrifying. The three sisters are from the Order, which is a splinter group from the FLDS. I’ve seen them free folks from both.
They literally have to move people out of their homes in a matter of minutes, before the “God Squad” of protectors and Order thugs move in to block their escape and force the women back into the houses. If that happens – if the men and women fail to escape – they are moved to “houses of repent,” forced to marry, or otherwise disappear. Communication is cut off and those folks get lost forever.
The men in charge of these communities can dictate who marries who, if/where jobs are assigned, if families get to stay together, force moms and dads to leave home, etc.
The only good thing about the situation is that if a woman is not a “first wife,” legally married and husband’s name on birth certificates, then women who are “spiritual wives” who escape with their kids are in a better legal situation to keep their abusive husbands at bay.
What is scary is the brainwashing of those who want to stay. They are are upset when husbands or mothers are ripped from their homes for little or no reason, and at the whims of those in power. When asked about it, though, they simply say “I/He/She wasn’t worthy” or “The Heavenly Father wants this”. The Order folks believe that Warren Jeffs, their Prophet who is in jail for life+20, will soon be released from prison if they only are obedient enough to his “revelations” that he still receives in prison.
Revelations are basically their Hadith: not Scripture but carry the weight of obedience. Things like husbands and wives not being able to do more than handshake, new marriages being forbidden, no TV/internet/computers.
Looking at the episode list, the show is still ongoing, after five years. I’m glad their are folks brave enough to do this work.

I’m lucky enough to live near the art deco Airport Museum at Hobby Airport. It used to be the airport terminal. I went there for a wedding reception once, and was able to tour the displays of airplanes, airlines, etc. I took scads of pictures and meant to post them here. I don’t know if I still have them.
Being a previous airline employee, I found my old company’s history particularly interesting.

Just came upon this inside an Epoch Times article. One of the side effects of the jab:
- Tinnitus: Overactivity of the auditory nerves can cause ringing in the ears. Tinnitus has rarely been reported following previous vaccinations but is highly prevalent among people who received the COVID-19 vaccines. COVID vaccine-related cases comprise more than 16,000 of the roughly 19,900 vaccine-related tinnitus cases reported to VAERS. An increasing amount of research is being done on vaccine-associated tinnitus.
Yeah, glad I skipped it.

C&C NEWS ☙ Wednesday, November 30, 2022 ☙ MEMORIES
In today’s roundup: Sticky-fingered nuclear department transvestite caught on tape; more thoughts on Balenciaga; Twitter stops enforcing its covid “misinformation” policy; SADS news about country music singer; Republicans stop democrats from passing horrible anti-religious bill; Ukraine is almost about the win the proxy war, again; Fauci experiences brain fog during his deposition; and a funny clip of the day.
Balenciaga is the fashion company who caught heck for their disgusting ads featuring children and sex related themes. The crawdadding is spectacular.
Onward!

There was a rather confusing story about pedophilia in the government, the attempt to normalize pedophilia by moving the Overton Window, the involvement of the name QAnon, etc. His point was that despite the attempts of the left to normalize the abnormal, it seems they’ve hit bottom on acceptance.
Then on to Twitter:
The Hill ran a story yesterday headlined, “Twitter Stops Enforcing COVID Misinformation Policy.” Uh-oh! Prepare for chaos!
After the announcement yesterday, professional fact checkers were upping doses of their antidepressants, fact checkers like Imran Ahmed…who called the rollback of the covid-19 misinformation policy an “irresponsible decision” that puts lives at risk.
You mean, the policy’s rollback puts his POCKETBOOK at risk. Shut up, Imran, if that’s your real name.
Twitter also released the first statistics about banned accounts. Between January 2020 and September 2022, almost 12 million accounts were ‘challenged’ and over 11,000 accounts were banned for violating the policy. That’s a lot of ‘fact checking.’
Twitter also put up a new “transparency” dashboard. What do you think? https://transparency.twitter.com/
Love or hate Elon Musk, he is doing yeoman’s work at Twitter. And the cockroaches are scurrying as Musk exposes the filth that was there.

This is heartbreaking, from the “Died Suddenly” department:
Last Saturday, country music singer Jake Flint, 37, suddenly and unexpectedly died in his sleep — on his wedding night. No cause of death has been released, but doctors suspect an achey-breakey heart.
On his WEDDING NIGHT. I can’t even imagine. Instead of imagining growing old together, his bride now has to plan his funeral.
It was almost certainly a preventable tragedy that never should have happened. His band should make a song about what really killed him. I really mean that.
We need more songs, more exposure of what’s happening. Music reaches people who, unlike us, are not plugged into the current events section of life.

Republicans in Congress appear to have prevented a potentially horrible form of a new, last-minute bill from becoming law. The Hill ran a story about it yesterday headlined, “Democrats Succumb to Political Reality on Same-Sex Marriage Bill.”
The so-called Respect for Marriage Act (RFMA) repeals DOMA, the Clinton-era ‘Defense of Marriage Act,’ which the Supreme Court found unconstitutional in Obergefell v. Hodges, which nationally legalized same-sex marriages.
The current version of the RFMA would require states to recognize all legal same-sex and interracial (?) marriages, but would NOT codify the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell. In other words, the new law would not stop the Supreme Court from eventually overturning the landmark decision. It also includes protections for religious liberty and conscience demanded by Republicans.
It looks like the last-minute rush to pass the Respect for Marriage Act is based at least in part on democrats’ fears that the Supreme Court WOULD overturn Obergefell. One can hope.
The word “marriage” has always described a sacred rite with a religious union. If the gay people – or the folks that want to marry dolphins, dogs, etc., – want to put themselves together into a union, then there should be a civil document to establish that relationship.
If government can dictate the terms of marriage, then what else can they dictate for religions?

Childers then goes into lawyer mode, discussing the for-now sealed Fauci deposition:
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, in the case along with Missouri’s Attorney General Eric Schmidt, explained “I think that the public is going to be shocked as to how much Dr. Fauci can’t recall some of the most important actions and discussions that he had at the time, when the pandemic was on our shores.”
Haha, the old bad memory gambit. As I’ve mentioned before, I love taking depositions, it’s one of my favorite parts of the job. I don’t mind the “I can’t remember” answer at all, especially given that you’ll never get a dishonest witness to admit the truth anyway. It’s so simple to handle this type of answer. Let me show you how it plays out.
For example, if I asked Fauci, “did you discuss with Twitter banning any scientists’ accounts?” And he answered, “I can’t recall everything I talked to Twitter about.” Then, one option would be for me to ask, “so, it’s possible you DID talk about banning scientists?” But then he might just answer, “I wouldn’t want to speculate about that.”
A better option if the witness says they “can’t recall” is to then ask, “since you don’t remember whether it happened, you can’t contradict another witness who says it did happen, can you?” Depending on the topic, I might also ask, “you agree that you can’t testify about that subject at trial, since you don’t remember, correct?”
Once you elicit the only possible answers to those questions, you have neutralized the witness as any kind of threat at trial, and can control the flow of evidence in your favor.
So, not only does saying “I can’t recall” make you look dumb, as it did here, it also hurts your case.
Where was he when Hillary was lying her face off and “not recalling” anything?

“Washington — The Senate on Tuesday night approved historic legislation that provides federal protections for same-sex marriages, moving the measure closer to President Biden’s desk for his signature in the final weeks of the Democratic-controlled Congress.
The bill, called the Respect for Marriage Act, passed the evenly divided upper chamber 61 to 36, with 12 Republicans joining their Democratic colleagues in support of the proposal. It needed 60 votes to pass. The legislation garnered support from a wider margin of GOP senators after it was amended to include provisions protecting religious liberty. “ – CBS

Today’s Hamousonian
Ittastes like spring!Link is 494 for context. WTH is boy eggs?Many customers came to Ms.Li’s for the eggs. “It is so yummy. I can eat 10 within a day,” Ms Liu came to Dongyang with her husband several years ago. “I’d never tried it before. After my first taste of it, I’ve become addicted to it,” she said.
A net user who goes by the name “xingdande” (姓蛋的, literally Surnamed Egg) summed up Dongyang people’s love of boy eggs in his microblog: it tastes like spring.
Of course, not all people in Dongyang find the idea fascinating. Mr. Li, a native-born Dongyang resident, has never tried it in the past 30 years. “The smell kills me. I feel like throwing up at the thought of it. It stinks.”
In the eyes of many Dongyang people, eggs boiled in boys’urine is a must-have nourishment in spring. Vendors will always tell you, after eating it, you won’t feel sleepy during spring or get a heat stroke during summer. -
This seems to be happening again and again.

This is about the prof at MIT who has called for halting Covid “vaccine” shots until there has been a thorough review of all the data from around the world.
Retsef Levi, a former Israeli military intelligence officer, an expert in risk management and health systems, and a professor at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sloan School of Management, coauthored a paper that found a 25 percent rise in heart attack emergency calls among young Israelis after the country’s rollout of the COVID genetic vaccine.
Levi argues that there is enough data from this and various other studies on the vaccine’s adverse heart effects, to stop its use and run a thorough investigation into why many once-healthy young people suffer or die from heart inflammation after being vaccinated.
plus,
His coauthored paper in Nature Scientific Reports looked at Israel’s national emergency calls in the first five months of 2021 and found a 25 percent increase in cardiac arrest and heart attacks in men aged 16-39 as compared to the year before the national vaccine rollout.
and this,
Further, Israel’s health ministry should want to know why there was an increase in heart problems; but instead, they “launched an attack on us, both in the public domain, as well as even actively trying to approach the journal and asked the journal to retract the paper,” said Levi.
You would think the Biden administration is running the Israeli government after that reaction.

TP @ 10:57 – Well here’s hoping Retsef Levi has a very good security detail close by!

I see your old classmate at Westchester High School is still cranking out the propaganda for the Left. I didn’t know Robert Draper wrote a hagiographic fanboy book on Pope Francis back in 2015.
He’s got a new book out, Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost Its Mind.
After the vote on gay marriage yesterday in the Senate, maybe he’s right.
-
TP @ 11:31 – I knew that name did not ring any bells.
Draper is 4 years younger – He would have been class of 1977.
Shannon & I were LONG gone by that time period

Tillman Fertitta was born in 1957 and was at Westchester with Draper. I thought Draper was closer to your age.

According to the Stars and Stripes, on Nov. 18 Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth confirmed that the Army undershot its annual recruitment goal of 60,000 troops. Only 45,000 young Americans enlisted in the Army.
A 25% shortfall is huge, which Wormuth acknowledged.
and,
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, think Biden admin policies — in this case, Wormuth’s own policies — contribute to the recruiting problem. Instead of community and purpose, the Biden administration’s military training guidelines stir distrust and seed division.
On Nov. 21 Rubio’s and Roy’s offices published “Woke Warfighters: How Political Ideology is Weakening America’s Warfighters.”
The two legislators argue the Biden administration promotes military education that focuses on “critical race theory (CRT), sex reassignment procedures, and identity politics instead of focusing on bolstering our military and tackling the threats facing our nation.”
I think congressman Chip Roy is going to challenge John Cornyn in 2026.

I attended Westchester HS for one year, my Sophomore year (‘70-‘71’)
It was a nightmare. (Stratford HS, to the west, didn’t open for another couple of years after that.)
The Westchester building capacity was exceeded by at least a thousand. Changing classes was hazardous to your health in so many ways. Had there been a panic, people would have died.
On the third day of my Junior year, it was Third Period (World History), and I knew I’d could never put up with that shrew of a teacher. So, I walked out and never returned.
Took a year off and worked. Went back to high school a year later in Bellville and finished a year late.

IMHO – pretty darned good news!

Here is your bizarre story of the day.
In bankruptcy filings, crypto exchange FTX revealed a curious connection to stablecoin Tether through a small bank in rural Washington. Farmington State Bank is in fact the 26th smallest bank in the US, out of over 4,700. Until this year, it employed three people.
The bank was first formed in 1929 in a sleepy town named Farmington, hugging the Idaho border. It’s home to just over 100 residents, and features zero restaurants, hotels, or pharmacies — it doesn’t even appear to have an ATM.
The fact that Farmington State Bank somehow finds itself embroiled in the largest cryptocurrency fraud in history is puzzling, disconcerting, and totally out of place, to say the least.
After Farmington State Bank set up international wires and SWIFT transfers through the Fed, it took full advantage. In March of 2022, fake algorithmic stablecoins like TerraUSD began to experience their first cracks.
Lost in the media frenzy, PRnewswire pushed forward a largely unnoticed announcement: Alameda Research — Sam Bankman-Fried’s company now suspected of commingling funds with customers of FTX — had invested $11.5 million in the rural bank.

Project Veritas@Project_VeritasBREAKING: 9 Month Investigation Into @HHSGovWhistleblower Child Trafficking Evidence Reveals ‘Sponsor’ of 16 Year Old Unaccompanied Migrant Would “Pimp” Her to Men to Repay $10,000+ “Debt” for Getting Across Border HHS Whistleblower: “We don’t get sued by [child] traffickers.”This is very hard to stomach. This administration is pure evil.
The whistleblower affirmed that she has questioned federal government bureaucrats about the potential wrongdoing happening within their institutions, and the response has usually been dismissive of her concerns. She believes she has suffered retaliation at work for raising these issues.
“I said [to the command center executives], ‘We’re getting ready to send another child [to Austin, Texas],’ and they said, ‘Tara, I think you need to understand that we only get sued if we keep kids in care too long. We don’t get sued by traffickers. Are you clear? We don’t get sued by traffickers.’ So, that was the answer of the United States federal government. HHS did not want this information to get out,” Rodas said.
“They knew I had made protected disclosures and they retaliated against me as a whistleblower and had me kicked off the site so I could no longer research the cases,” she said.

Yeah, when I was a freshman at Memorial High School, we had 4,300 students in a facility built for 1,600 to 1,800 maximum students. It was cruel. Most of the year I came home from school with a headache because there was no time or place to sit and eat lunch. The lines were so long most kids didn’t even try to buy any food. The restroom situation was an absolute disaster and even harder on the girls.
I transferred to Spring Branch and never regretted it.
-
When I graduated from Memorial High in 1978 there were 587 or something in my class.

This morning’s procedure was successful. I should bust out of here tomorrow morning. Thank you for the prayers and well wishes.

TexMo – so very glad to hear it!!!! Wonderful news, praise the Lord
-
#32 – in ’70 * ’71 Westchester had 5,000 students (1,200 in my freshman class!)
They had to expand the time between classes from 5 minutes up to 9 minutes – the halls between classes were like playing football w no pads I swear.

TexMo, glad to hear you have good medical news today.
Stay well!

I think I woke the dang elbow up again. /sigh
Not bad, but I know it’s there.
Can’t win for losing, it seems.
Good news: I found berries greatly on sale at Aldi, and I have both Fred and Oven loaded up and drying. AND Handyman finished putting the sleepers down over the floor insulation in the upstairs balcony area. I ordered the PEX stapler today, so when it comes in, we can get the tubing installed and hooked up before finally getting the finished flooring laid.
You have no idea how excited I am. It’s only been 20 years. We’ve been walking on the subfloor and using the upstairs, so there was no real hurry. Over the years it’s been a problem getting money, health, and time all in one place at the same time. Now that we’ve sold some of our rental property and finished some much needed renovations, the time problem has been somewhat resolved. Hubby’s had his back surgery, so that’s better. He can’t work-work, like he used to, but as long as he takes frequent sit down breaks, he manages.
It will be nice to have the upstairs in a place where I can start organizing everything for reals. But in the meantime, we’ll be juggling stuff from one place to another as the work progresses.
But I probably shouldn’t be picking up too much stuff. Dang elbow.
-
Texmo, so glad you’re doing well.

When I graduated, we had four elementary schools that fed one junior high (6-8 grades) and one high school (9-12). There were 487 graduating seniors, IIRC.
Now, I have no idea how many grade schools there are. Near my childhood home is a “ninth grade campus”. I’d never heard of that before, but there ya’ go. There are also multiple high schools. One of them is named after my shorthand teacher, Glenda Dawson. It was thanks to her that I got my full ride scholarship and was able to attend university. Every time I pass that school, I remember her fondly. She and Mrs. Corder (who taught typing) were my favorite teachers.
I think back and now and the realization that all of my teachers are deceased is depressing. In my mind, they are all still there at the blackboards or reading dictation. I remember Mr. Curry, with his Brylcreemed hair and big smile, teaching chemistry and giving us tests that always included the town of Dime Box, TX in some way. Mr. Curry said his goal was to teach every kid in my family before retiring. Several sisters dropped out before getting his class, so he was unable to fulfill that goal.
RIP Mr. Curry. May your moles always calculate out, especially in Dime Box.

As for me, knowing it would take 2 weeks to get in to see my Doc, I went instead to 2 walk-in places in NW Houston today. My problem is sudden pain in my right leg, most often when I first get out of bed in the morning. I went first to a satellite office of UT Health, which I’ve used a few times. But they told me they have no imaging technology at their site, and recommended the next place I went to. There I was given an ultrasound scan of the right leg, but nothing was detected that could cause the pain. End result was a scrip for prescription tylenol. I came straight home because I was exhausted, but I’ll go fill the script tomorrow — if there is such a thing.
-
TexMo that’s great news, just another step in your recovery which of course is easy for me to say, I can’t even imagine what you’ve been through but you’re obviously a fighter, bless you man.
-
#40 mj42 – glad to hear that you got it checked out… Ain’t right real sure what prescription Tylenol is – but… at least they didn’t find anything… but darn it, they didn’t find something simple with an easy fix – SIGH!!!
-
MHarper I am glad you got a scan of your leg. Too bad nothing was found. Intermittent pain can be the most difficult to diagnose. I had intermittent pain about two months before my cancer was diagnosed. Not that two months would have made any difference in a stage 4 cancer diagnosis.
Now you have to call an electrician. I’ve used Mr. Sparky twice in the last seven years. Once to replace the main 200 Amp circuit breaker in my box. The second time they gave me the ability to feed power from my gas generator into my panel to keep my fridges, freezer, and some portable A/C units going without running extension cords all over the place.
-
TexMo – Good news!
mh – not good enough. Get an appointment with your doctor or go to the ER at one of these hospitals. You need the complete work up. You should not be that tired. I’m not quitting until I’m satisfied that you are back outside in the middle of the winter sacking leaves and picking up fallen branches in between feeding all the wild animals in the neighborhood.
-
I agree! Listen to the mens MHarper!
-
Great news TexMo! Blessings.
-
EG, I have a dental cleaning tomorrow, so I will get my “prescription tylenol” while I’m out. It’s only for a week’s worth. I want to see if that has any effect on the sudden pains before I do anything else.
-
The ten days or so of January temperatures in November has caused all the trees around here to change colors all at the same time. We all know that virtually never happens around here because after two days with lows in the 50s we typically will have four days with lows in the upper 60s. It is very confusing to the trees.
In any case, I’ve enjoyed the fall foliage here in Houston for the first time ever. Here is a pic my sister took in Georgetown this week. Absolutely stunning with red, orange, and yellow all in the same picture.
-
Today I was driving East of Chez Harp on Tidwell for miles, which I had not done recently, and I was stunned/appalled by the amount of those “mushroom” houses which had sprung up. Most of them were 3-story mushrooms. I wonder if that is happening in small towns, in Texas and in other states…
-
I sense Gordo is going make a road trip to Houston’s near northeast side to further “encourage” MHarper to go to the doctor.
There may be an assist from GJT who will bring the wet noodles for round one of said “encouragement”.
-
MHarper I think those three story homes will predominantly only be found in cities with high cost of land such as Houston inside 610 and perhaps just outside the Loop.
The developers need to cram in the most units into the smallest amount of real estate to maximize their return on their investment.
-
TexMo, I too have noticed the fall color on the leaves. In 2 days time, my back yard has a million yellow leaves on the ground. My Bradford pear went to red leaves almost overnight, and every yard in sight has some bright fall leaves. 80-Y-O has a fruit tree that went bright orange overnight. David and I used drive through the pastures north of Little York to see the fall colors, but I’d hesitate to head that way these days — It’s probably all mushroom houses by now.
-
These cold snaps have triggered more color than usual in our neighborhood. Some of our pecan trees are a brilliant yellow. Usually they go from green directly to brown or gone. Our tallow trees are also doing their thing.
-
#47 – just remember that those Tylenol have a little happy powder in there whose job it is to mask the pain, not to solve the problem. Just a general check up, blood draw, and EKG at a minimum – or of course whatever your doctor recommends, just to be certain that there is not something lurking in there that is serious – or if there is, getting the treatment started early,. I probably would not be so intrusive had I not seen what happened to BFF when she was exhibiting similar symptoms and refused to seek medical attention. There aren’t many people who will stand up for my lunatic ranting around here, and I have to look after those few who do, even if it requires strict demands.
-
Mharper – for once, the men are right.
Once.
/zigging and zagging
-
Ahem
-
Glad er’body else has noticed a difference in the trees this year. I thought maybe my remember was wrong. We have several trees that turned pretty colors, went from yellow to red to gone quickly though. Pretty day today so I went around rearranging the leaves. Trying to stay ahead of them.

See future ghettos there.
-
I am worried Harper doesn’t seem concerned enough about her own welfare anymore to take the steps necessary to protect it. I’ve seen it before and I know what it looks like.
Take that any way you want.
-
EG (and TP): I have an email link to my PCP, so I will write up a concise description of what has happened with my right leg, and ask her if she wants to send me for any further checkups. It is not possible to talk to her on the phone.
I do appreciate your concern, gentlemen!!!
-
#58 – It is not possible to talk to her on the phone.
I won’t dispute that – but it’s NOT ACCEPTABLE!
IMHO – ‘blow up’ their phones until it IS possible!
-
You took action today, mharper. That’s great. I can imagine all of that driving outside of your normal routine wore you out. Emailing your PCP is a good start on the next step. Keep after it.
-
I have two doctors I recently hired who gave me their personal cellphone numbers. I am very careful not to abuse the privilege, but those are the kinds of docs you want to have.

Texpat @ 7:45 pm
Why do you think those fancy homes will turn into ghettos in the future? Do you foresee some type of reverse gentrification in large American cities in the future?
On a high level, I do not have an issue with gentrification because old, squalid properties and houses get razed and newer modern homes rise up in their place. I do worry about families that have had a house in the inner city for decades or even a century and who subsequently get priced out due to rising property taxes. These are people who actually give a damn about their homes and their neighborhood. I’ve known some black families with relatives who have been or are currently facing this situation.
-
The only doctor that ever gave us their personal cell phone number was our children’s pediatrician. Over a 21 year period, with three children we only called that number five times. Virtually all the calls concerned my first born my daughter with the congenital heart defect.
-
Bedtime out here in the country. 35 degrees as we speak. You all have a good evening now. More manana.
-
Checking in again, and I in my humble opinion vote with Texpat, Katfish, El Gordo, GJT, Tedtam, and TexMo. 🙂
-
Email describing my problem and what I have fumbled around with today has been sent to PCP through the Mem-H network, so assuming she works tomorrow, she will have it.
-
Good job.
-
I’ve been dealing with bouts of insomnia for two months now. Trying to sleep in a hospital bed is tenuous work under normal circumstances and dang near impossible with insomnia.
Something tells me I’m going to nap at some point tomorrow even though I do not like napping. Fortunately I took both today and tomorrow off.

Today’s test.
