And now I apologize...don't mean to bring the tone of the LPv6 down, but we just found out my Brother-in-law in China has been diagnosed with Thymic Carcinoma.
Oh, Xue, I am so sorry! I have no idea about the state of medicine in China. What's the prognosis for such patients there?

So, the reason our heat pump was leaking was - there was a dead rat in the catch pan, who blocked the drain and caused the catch pan to overflow. You know.... around here, even our electrical power company has a fault reason "wildlife interference". It usually means the power was lost or flickered because a squirrel shorted a line somewhere or a couple of turkey vultures decided to do their mating dance on the lines. Well, apparently, we can now add "wildlife interference" to our heat pump operation issues.

Shucks, I forgot to check in for 5 pages.
Everybody else present and accounted for?

Work lost my request for vacation, my last three days. We gotta take it before the end of the month or lose it.
I mean, it's not like the company pays tons where that would kill them to shell out the money, and the middle of the year is really bogus *** deadline, so you can't save up, for like Christmas or so....
So, tomorrow I will find out how screwed I am going to be.
And then I will see when I can quit this place.

Tired of nobody paying enough attention to actually listen. They are all soooooo important (But I guess this is normal for the work place.)
And everybody thinking I fell off a turnip truck the previous night.
one of the many new chiefs came up to me the other day 'Oh, hey, your floor is high priority!'
Duh, Buttercup, it has always been. But when I am not allowed to do my job, the scores go down.
I wonder if the hospital is trying their best to drop my company as contractor.
Because no matter which way I turn, something is amiss....

Well, if he listens to his sisters (my wife [who was a doctor at Beijing Hospital] and sister-in-law) and goes to Beijing hospital his prognosis is probably as good as going to the mayo-clinic. But if he listens to his wife and goes back to that little hospital outside of Beijing his prognosis is not good at all.

I have a cold.

It's obviously really bad because I'm a man.

Sore throat, headache, simultaneous runny and blocked nose.

Brilliant.



And I've just got home from my grading to 2nd kup...

Literally nothing beats the feeling of putting on vinyl dipped sparring pads when you're already sweaty :wtf:

Oh, and sneezing with a gumshield in - that's always fun too.

Also, I hit my head on the coop earlier while trying to catch a chicken - I have a small cut and lump.

Actually, there is good reason to believe that the "man cold" is a real thing. There have been a number of studies showing that the immune response varies by gender, and that men do, in fact, get sicker when exposed to the common cold virus.

No No.... you're not being wimpy. You really are sicker. If you weren't, then, yes, you'd be wimpy.
