Especially b/c there are plenty of us who would love to leave it, but eventually discover that it's not practical.

I may be moving to Sicily. Does that count?

Starting about 10 years ago I would get a chest infection in late Jan. early Feb. I hate going to the doctor- but the first time it really hit on a Friday in the middle of a trial.

so I went to a walk in clinic on Saturday. I explained my symptoms, which were apparently inconclusive- while I was sneezing it was clear. So the doc said she wouldn't give me meds and I should just see if I got better, and if I didn't feel better in a week i could come back for anti-biotics. I dug in and hit that one out with the plea "I'm going back into trial monday. i have to be better, I can risk it." she wrote me script.

For the next few years that "in trial" along with more advised symptoms- "I'm sneezing yellow-green!"- got me script ever year.

Then, we were going to Japan for a few weeks. a doctor friend gave us a bunch of Z-pack samples to have just in case. We didn't need them there, so I didn't even need go to the clinic the next few years.

Last year I was back. Story all lined up, "trial Monday- greenish/yellow snot- script please!" And she* tells me that they don't write script anymore until after a week- because it might be viral. So i came back a week later.

Last week my daughter had the same thing and 2 different docs refused to give her antibiotics until she was sick for a week. She didn't have trial Monday, but "2 big exams", but still no luck.

Anyway, today I went in for mine.

1) trial Monday
2) greenish snot
3) Been sick for at least a week, it got worse this Morning.

Lie 3 gets me the pills.

I don't get the crack down on anti biotics, but maybe they don't want everyone getting immune.

Here's the thing- my life is pretty great. I'm happy with my job/ my family/ my life generally. I make more money than i need.

There is one major missing piece and that is I can't get the meds I know I need when I need them. I'm thinking my daughter** needs to go to med school, or at least marry a doc.

* different docs most years
** if i ever need Viagra I won't ask daughter for that script

Don't get me started.

Today a man accosted me and asked me if my dress was a Pucci. To which I responded "yes" and he nodded in approval. I think he's gay.

Is this K-race appropriate?

Above or below the knee?

Pucci dresses are always appropriate.

Above, but not significantly above. Although it is one of the few dresses that makes me look as if I actually have an ass, I still think he is gay.

He did not ask "Is that a Coochie" and I misheard, if that is what you are thinking.

There's a cancer on this board. No one can stand it any more. Seriously. It's time for emergency surgery. We need to exise the tumor, stat.

It's someone else I'm thinking about... someone who is just as nosy as Penske though.

Today I was in a giant sportsman store in the northern burbs. I was looking for a travel case for my fishing gear to bring to the Keys. After asking where the store kept the cases, this was said to me:

EE:"You can always use your gun case. Do you have a gun case?"

ME: "Um. No."

And then I left. The entire store freaked me out. There were literally hundreds of methods for tiny-penised men to kill things.

Did I ever tell you he hit on me in the airport? We were on the same flight out after I attended his CLE last year or maybe two years ago. I gave him my business card and he sent me emails for months asking when we could hook up.

No. You hit on him at the airport. He hit on you for months afterwards.
