This is the most incredible thing I've ever seen. First question is, what would make anyone aspire to do this and the second question is, how much of this guy's brain do you think is being used with all this multi-tasking?
This is truly amazing and I wanted to share it with you! Don't worry, it's not offensive. You might need to turn your speakers up a bit more than normal because the sound is quite low, but it's worth it! Also, you don't have to download the movie -- just click the play button.

Catch Up
I think I posted that depositions in the lawsuit begin on March 29 at 10:00, beginning with the Director of HR. If I didn't, then I should note that depositions in the lawsuit begin on March 29 at 10:00, beginning with the Director of HR.
I sent my lawyer photocopies of everything -- memos and correspondences and replies between myself and HR; licenses; anything that remotely pertains to the case. He's asked me to be present at the HR Director's deposition as he's quite sure I'll have comments or questions. Who? Me? Comments?
Last Sunday was our one-year anniversary for our New Paltz wedding. We wished each other a happy anniversary but, beyond that, didn't really do much else. There's still a legal cloud of ambiguity surrounding that marriage so we look at July 5 as our true anniversary. July 5, 2001 was when we had our Civil Union in Vermont, and July 5, 2004 was our Canadian marriage.
And yes, it was by design. There's only so many anniversary dates we can remember! LOL!
Lisa's mother continues to have problems. They discharged her from the hospital last Monday evening and she was back in the hospital by Thursday morning in the wee small hours. Seems she'd fainted a couple of times in the middle of the night while on an excursion to the toilet.
The "Band-Aid Doctor" (as Lisa referred to him) told the family that she'd had a "vegal reaction," most likely to food she'd eaten. GIVE US A BREAK!
Lisa's father apparently pointed out to the doctor that she'd been on the Plavix for only three days when the last episode occurred and, coincidentally or not, she'd been on it three days this time when this episode occurred. The doctor's response was that it "shouldn't" have been a problem. Well, "shouldn't" and "couldn't" are miles apart when you're talking about meds. So, me being the "look anything up on the web" sort of person I am, I had to go and search out data on Plavix.
It turns out that Plavix is a bi-sulfide based drug -- one source of sulphur is actually sulpheric acid. The other source is a component of a larger formula. Lisa's mother, her sister, and even Lisa cannot metabolize sulpher-based drugs and they are allergic to them.
In addition, when Lisa called her mother to find out how she was, her mother informed her that she had the flu. However, Lisa's mother didn't feel "sick" like you do when you have the flu. Yes, she's vomiting and has diarrhea but she said she just doesn't feel "sick" beyond that. Guess what a side effect of Plavix is? "Flu-like symptoms," as well as "diarrhea." Now, I'm not a rocket scientist but it seems to me that the doctor could discontinue the Plavix in favor for another blood thinner that isn't sulphur-based and see if her condition improves at all.
As long as they're contending that she has the flu, she'll not be able to have her surgery tomorrow morning to fix the carotid arteries. Poor Lisa -- at one point Friday she was in tears. She says she feels impotent, unable to do anything for her family from here. Her sister, God love her, has been at her mother's bedside every day after work, and has lost a lot of time at work for this whole ordeal. I'm sure the sister is feeling tremendous strain. They're claiming they're going to do some "testing" today to see what's wrong with her -- whatever that means. Seems to me they need to do some testing on the doctor to see what's wrong with HIM!
We scoured the kitchen yesterday, pretty much top to bottom. Cleaned off the counters completely and wiped them all down, moved the refrigerator and got all the nasty crud out from behind there and mopped the floor behind it. Lisa took off the front guard and we looked under the refrigerator into the motor compartment and nearly gagged. Suffice it to say we got it cleaned out now. Then I scrubbed the floor on my hands and knees while Lisa picked up and vacuumed the upstairs. We were pretty pooped and HOT after that and made the command decision to do the downstairs next weekend, if we're around.
Got an email Saturday night from an old, lost friend from the Army. He and his wife were our best friends way back in our early days in the Army (my ex and I, that is). We used to sit up half the night after the swing shift (3-11) and play spades -- guys against the girls. Sometimes we'd send our men out to A&W in the middle of the night for burgers and those nasty old Okinawan "mashed-potato french fries." When we left Okinawa and were transferred to San Antonio, a year later, our friends arrived there. We were transferred back to Okinawa and, a year later, there they were. We were then transferred to Ft. Devens, MA and, a year later, guess who arrived? When we went to Hawaii, it was on a re-enlistment station of choice but it would be the last we'd see of Rodger and Sharon. Rodger was sent to Korea and we just lost touch.
I'd signed on to a Yahoo! Groups site set up for that old unit we'd been assigned to in Okinawa and, even though I had no interest in the day-to-day conversation (which was BORING), I left my information there for anyone to find me. So glad Rodger went to that site!
I called Sharon Saturday and chatted with her for more than an hour -- we caught up a bit, but damn! We're going to have to get together with them! They live in northern Virginia (it seems Rodger retired from Vint Hill Farms, VA in 1994) and I'm thinking it would make an excellent "long weekend" trip! I'm so excited and thrilled to have regained these dear friends whom I had lost to the world out there. The web is a wonderful thing, yes?
