For those of you who wanted to know. The procedure itself is one of those stealth ops where you lie on a gurney with an iv in waiting for them to do it and then your nurse is telling you they’ve done it? Huh? I missed it? I had a few good lines for the OR that I never got to use.

While purging yesterday, I rambled online and found this: a fantastic site for all of us–geeze, I hate to use the word Dems because I hate the hierarchy so much–progressive/liberal/right thinkers (you know who you are! has complied the political spending records of a bunch of companies so you can see exactly which party is reaping the benefit of your business. For example, I will never buy Olay products again, but Estee Lauder are good. Home Depot is bad (that’s kinda a no brainer), but so is TARGET!!!! Ouch. Product boycotts are an effective tool, so PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!
