Knee Surgery Update
Mrs. Major gave her final pint of blood yesterday. It wasn’t the ordeal that the first one was. The phlebotomist closed her eyes, said a silent prayer, opened here eyes, and stuck Mrs. Major’s vein on the first try. No bruising, even today. Now we have the pre-op visit on the 12th and the surgery on the 15th.
Mrs. Major is really looking forward to the day when her knees don’t hurt constantly. She’s even looking forward to the hard work involved in the recovery process. Three cheers for Mrs. Major.
Good To Go
Mrs. Major had her family doctor’s appointment to ensure she’s in good enough health for her knee surgery. She passed. Now all she has left is giving more blood on Thursday, a pre-op meeting at the hospital on Monday, May 12 (her birthday) and the surgery on the 15th. Counting the days.
Moving to Coed Rooms
Chicago Tribune April 6, 2008 sec. 1 p. 6:
Over the last few decades, single gender dorms have become hard to find on a college campus. Many moved to coed floors, coed suites, and coed bathrooms. Now a number of schools have instituted coed rooms. Approximately 30 campuses now have rooms that are officially shared by male and female roommates. Schools who have made the switch say that gender-blind dorm rooms are more inclusive and acknowledge modern realities. Most of the schools discourage romantically involved students from rooming together, but maintain that such choices are up to the students. Critics say coed rooms are one more indicator of the eroding morals on the college campus.
So do I.
“The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.” -Abraham Lincoln
Please, NO!
A bevy of truckers are trying to clog up Washington DC traffic in protest of high diesel prices. One of the things they want lawmakers to do is to cap diesel, gas, and natural gas prices. Noooooooooooooo!
Don’t they remember what happened in the 70s when that happened? Prices got capped. Supplies dwindled. Gas pump lines got long, really long.
What good is cheap gas when you can’t get any?
