The Last Whiskey Bar

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

We slept with our windows open last night. We could tonight, but the rain would wet the carpet and spazz the roomies out. It was too hot to cover up with a blanket. I'm walking around in my underroos. It's fifty degrees. A twenty-five degree drop. We have a flood warning tonight.

If we don't get at least two weeks of hard freeze, we's in trouble bug-wise.

I don't understand why people are so fucking stupid sometimes.

If you were smarter, you WOULD!

Fair enough.

I'll just take solace in the knowledge that I wouldn't ask facebook for an alternative to going to the hospital.

WTF?

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Or, for that matter, resisting the unanimous go to the hospital response.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Old friend, a bit of an attention seeker, has chest pain, distended stomach. Asks for alternatives to going to the hospital cuz she's skeered of going there alone.

The alternative that everyone said was be afraid and fucking go.

I had to say twice that homeopathy was bullshit.

Wow.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Needless to say, she's on her way to the hospital. Alone.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Meanwhile, my response to experiencing this would be something on the order of logging off of facebook, calling Villager and then calling an ambulance.

Was she waiting for people to volunteer to take her and sit with her and hold her hand and whatever?

Heh, yeah, last time someone said something like that to me, I told them they could go to the hospital on their own or they could go in an ambulance. Flip a coin.

I'm going through a year's accumulation of 'important' papers. So far I've found my library card from Iowa. My library card from Pennsylvania (1999). A 1040 long-form dated 1999. A copy of my parents' tax return from 1998. The name, address, and e-mail from a college roommate who went insane and subsequently ran away from the school. Love poetry from a Charles Bukowski-worshipping ex-boyfriend (the one who blames me for 9/11), and pay stubs from the last five jobs I've had. O.o

How did all this crap end up in my files for 2012? How does this shit even still exist? O.o I clean this stuff out every year.

Clearly my alter-ego is a hoarder.

Oh, yeah no.  I wasn't going to take her either way. It would not have been appropriate. First off. Second off you cover your own ass, even if that means preventing dying from your own ineptitude. I don't know what she was going for, but my first response would not have been to post a status on Facebook. My status would have been something like, "whew! close call! Something weird happened, at the hospital, awaiting results, probably not dying."

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Like I said, the order of people knowing something was wrong with my body would be: 1) Me 2) Villager 3) my doctor 4) my immediate family 5) If it gets to this point start asking me what my current religion is 6) Bandmates/local PDers 7) Extended family Make arrangements 9) Ancillary friends 10) have my arrangements been met

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Local PDers can give the global PDers a heads up, but I don't expect the outside of Northeast PDers to show up in the event of my imminent demise.
