Supposedly, the bit about the CFO being gone is rank hearsay. She's apparently out, instead, with walking pneumonia. I've had that three or four times (most likely a couple more than that, though I didn't go to the doctor for confirmation), & I suspect it gets more enervating the older one gets, so I can well believe that. My place of employment is a national nonprofit, mostly financed with federal money but not a government entity per se. As a former federal employee (Navy), you have my sympathy for being connected with the federal government. With them involved, even just monetarily, it makes many things more difficult.

Yeah. Back in 10/13 we got a 2-week furlough during the budget standoff. Luckily, the missed pay was subsequently made up, but still.

In the meantime, I learned from FB that one of my first cousins & his wife, who moved down from north Louisiana (Monroe) to Baton Rouge a few years ago to be near their son & his family, have pretty much lost their home & vehicles to the flooding there. No flood insurance (which would've been $2,100 a year), & homeowners is no help in this case.

Sorry to hear about that, Dan. There's been some pretty terrible flooding around Houston lately too. I'm fortunate enough to live in an area that rarely floods, but some surroudning counties haven't been so lucky.

Man, Dan ... I'm so sorry about to hear about your cousins lost their home and vehicles in Louisiana.

Is there a thread/topic that discusses those comics that you know are not really that good but you still enjoy a lot and considers one of your favorites because of various reasons like nostalgic reasons etc? Just curious because a series like that for me would be Marvels 80s transformers series. I love that series but its clunky, inconsistent and very much a toy add.

There was a guilty pleasures thread that ran for a short while, but it hasn't been updated/posted in for quite some time.

Yay. It appears I'm looking at surgery for the 2nd time in some 14 months. Saw my GP this morning for a routine checkup & made note of the fact that the last few days, off & on, I've noticed some intestinal protrusion around the same place I had the hernia & bowel strangulation last June. I see the surgeon Thursday a.m.
Assuming I do indeed go under the knife again, here's hoping the lack of any pain or discomfort or for that matter real urgency on my doctor's part (last time, of course, he sent me immediately to the surgeon's office) means that this time it goes as it was supposed to last time, i.e. as an outpatient procedure.

Good luck, Dan. Here's hoping it solves the problem permanently.

So sorry, Dan. Hope it takes this time. Pile up a nice stack of books to read while you recover.
