LJ troubles

For anyone who hadn't heard why LJ has been having problems, this is the most fun description:

And yeah, I'm right there with the poor guys in LJ Support. They know, deal with it.

The simple solution eludes them

Oookayyy. A couple different women on the t-bones support list have been talking about pain and how their doctors have told them it's because they're too skinny and have no padding there and only a couple of millimeters of skin between the chair and the coccyx/sacrum/sacral stump (depending on case). It boggles me that "gain some weight" does not seem to occur to them as a solution. I'm sure if the case was the opposite LOTS of people would be telling them to lose weight for their health and would nag them!

Me and my bountiful curves will be over here in the chair, knitting and reading online and recovering from the surgery way faster than a lot of people on the t-bones list!

Quotes and links

Okay, this is just too much fun not to share. elisem has been posting some lovely songs lately. Go read 'em.

Later is a country full of really good things

song: "You're Stubborn"

song: "This Ride"

And in this post from misia, I like ulfrikr's comment:

To paraphrase an Irish blessing:

At your wake, may your family drink fifty-year-old whiskey which was aged in oak barrels made from the oak tree which grows from this acorn I'm planting for you today.

That's all, I'll go back to my work now.
