Work's having a Halloween party and I have no clue what to bring. People asked if I was dressing up.

get your best suit, and then claim you're going as a "men in black" agent. :P

Finally took the bandaids off of the incisions and thoroughly washed them. Was a little afraid to before this because I can't feel the skin on top of them and didn't want to make them bleed. One of them looks like it bled several times after the surgery and when I rubbed it, I though a little piece of skin came from it, and it turned out to be a piece of a stitch.:eek::depressed::hungover: Putting a band aid back on that one along with some triple antibiotic ointment and calling my doctor first thing tomorrow. I mean, it looks like it scabbed over, but still.
better safe than sorry!

it could open again!

I'll go now.

We've all been there. Someone takes something the wrong way and either someone reports your post and you get a warning for a moderator shortly after or someone furthers it with the Rules. It happens. As you are here longer you'll know all the rules, they do vary from website to website and it does get confusing.

Me I learned if I linked something on this particular thread to another disney forum which I didn't know was against the rules I'd get reported. On other threads especially in News area not so much. The moderators can't possibly be everywhere so sometimes we just get conflicting ideas of what is allowed. Some threads are more tolerant than others. You'll tend to see the pattern after a while. I encourage you not to take it personally. There really is a learning curve and it does vary from thread to thread I have found but some things are off limits no matter what thread you are on. {{{Big Hugs}}}

If I can't be there, I'm usually found yelling at my TV. If I'm down low enough at a game, I'm usually yelling. Loudly. My friends find this quite amusing as normally I'm pretty quiet. When I'm not being blunt or sarcastic, that is. It's probably a good thing that they generally find me amusing; I think I'd be completely unbearable otherwise.:hilarious:

You are a nice young lady but I cower as I say this but I believe your Dad is right. You'd make a very fine attorney.

Thank you, but I am far too emotional to be an attorney. I think I would find it draining to sit around and listen to people's problems all day. I like helping people, which is why I tutor, but there is no way people could bring me their emotional baggage and for me to not bring my work home with me. I prefer a job where I get to be a bit more creative, which is why I think I'm going in the marketing direction. Plus legal work is not a particularly easy field to get into. My dad suggested I go to law school and then join his firm so I could get started. To which I said, "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!" We already have problems getting along at home; I cannot imagine the problems if we tried to work together.

The arguments at home are interesting. Both of us are relentlessly logical and will not give up until we think we have won. My mother sits there and pretends she's not listening. She just shakes her head and goes, "You two deserve each other." One time, we actually agreed, but kind of kept the argument going even though we weren't arguing with each other, and my mom goes, "You're not disagreeing, why does this still sound like arguing?" Then tonight, she and my dad were arguing (not about anything important) and I sided with my dad and offered the same relentlessly logical argument, and she walked away like, "I can't win here.":hilarious:

My husband keeps trying to get me to try lamb, he likes roast lamb. But my mom brainwashed me to think lamb was bad. Someday I'll break through and try it.

I have found most lamb in the US has a very strong taste that I don't find palatable. I have had lamb in Fine Greek Restaurants and it has a much milder taste and smell. If you are ever to try it come on down to Greek Town and try it there. The other thing is lamb is really pricey here in the US and even the chops are kinda fatty here in the grocery store. You can also find some nice casserole-y dishes with lamb in many higher end Asian restaurants. Thing to keep in mind anyhow is all Lamb is not created equally. Thank the Wild West when the Cattle Ranchers were duking it out. The Lambs lost. We became a country of cattle and I am not sad about that. For the most part I can't stand the smell let alone the taste of most Lamb.

I think your Dad sees in you what I do. Still I respect that isn't what you want for your life.

Even Still I think you have the ability to be a good attorney. Maybe not in any form of human practice but possibly in Corporate, Commercial, non-human law. For years I dealt with commercial maritime transit. I could have never dealt with Aunt Emilies 3rd generation China being destroyed but discerning if the steel I looked at was damaged by fresh water vs sea water and settling the claims fairly was a challenge and not emotional. Now when Uncle Henry's casket fell off the roll tray from the airplane and he was considered cargo cause he was a goner....that was emotional for the claimants. Me, in hindsight I kinda wish I followed through and became a maritime lawyer. It is a challenging field with very ancient rules and laws. 99% is cargo so emotion rarely takes claim.

Please be careful.
