Waffles. But my roommate in college bought a puppy before the summer, named it Waffles, took her home, and came back in the fall with an untrained dog that peed in the house and he never cleaned it up. Poor Waffles, she didn't ask to be raised by terrible owners but I ended up moving out early because of her.

I'm pretty sure the other monkeys would just kill that monkey and redistribute the bananas. Just a thought, something to consider.

Well yeah, that's usually their move in an election year. They're mad because they're not the ones doing it.

Right? This is a real, "the worst person you know just made a good point," moment.

If it's laparoscopic, it shouldn't be too bad. I spent pretty much the whole first week in bed napping off and on, other than short walks every couple of hours. The second week, I worked from home (still in bed) and had to lay down for a few minutes here and there, but felt a lot better. With ice packs and rest, I only needed to take anything for pain the first 4-ish days and then occasionally when I pushed myself a little too hard, and I never needed anything stronger than advil/tylenol.

The only thing I wish I'd done was either taking higher doses of stool softeners or taking a laxative sooner - it's unpleasant to talk about but trust me when I say your SO really doesn't want to go several days without pooping when you can't really push without feeling like you're going to tear something important.

Where did it come from? I really want a collection of oversized square-ass animals to hang up in my office now.

Every time I talk to my friends in academia, I'm grateful that I was just smart enough to know that I'm too stupid for academia.

No one has ever made a grab for natural resources except for the entirety of human history! Can't explain that.

A long weekend to rest. I had a hysterectomy on the 1st and went back to work last week and by last night I was so sore. I'm feeling a lot better overall but sitting up for 8 hours a day was a lot harder than I expected. Having 3 days where I can lay down when I need to is really nice. Plus, it's supposed to be really nice out, so maybe I'll do some of the resting in my hammock.

They didn't say GIMP itself sucks, they said leaning to use it sucks. Those are two different things.

They're a lunatic on that show. Climbing on the podium killed me.
