My sweetie had minor surgery yesterday. The surgery center tried to contact me repeatedly on my cell phone, but hadn’t told me they were going to, so their calls went unanswered. Fortunately, they had a human who got to walk out and talk to me, but assuming you’ll actually be able to call someone and get an answer seems pretty quaint any more.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
