He's been even more pompous and egocentric since he got divorced. His new GF lets him dictate her life so now there is only me not telling him he's great every minute.
However, petty or not, Im still not ready to talk to him. :grumble:
He seems to have problems. :shakehead: :crazy:
If ONLY you could get your hands on a few pounds of horse manure to teach him a lesson. :hehe: Oh, wait...
My city's transportation authority is on strike today. I hope this doesn't drag out like it did in 1998, when I was in high school. Although I remember being excused from school because it was June and the grades went in already :woot: But, it was for over a month (I remember), and I couldn't go anywhere! But, at that time the suburban routes were not included. This time.....they are on strike too!! :nut:
Now that I drive and don't use public trans, all I can say is traffic will be HELL. This will cripple the city and they know it.... :sweat:
Even before the gas prices went up, SEPTA was expensive (I think it's $2.10 for 1-way within city cash, add 60 cents for each additional zone outside of city which could be up to 4 zones. 50 cents to transfer.), and mostly unreliable (mostly dirty, always late, or doesn't show up, or passes you by when too crowded...not calling extra busses during peak times). It's been this high since the last strike. At that time it shot up from $1.60 to $2.00, then up to $2.10, transfers and zone fares were both 40 cents each, then shot up to 50 and 60 cents, if memory serves. Fare will probably be raised again. They have been trying to do it since the gas prices went up. I kinda think this is their way of pulling it off (having to raise fares "to meet employee union contract demands"), but then again they are losing business during the strike. I remember after the strike in '98.....some people got so used to not having it that they didn't go back to using it. Many bought cars, too. :hehe: Cab companies were also extremely grateful :P
In the immortal words of Homer Simpson, "I never apologize, I'm sorry, but that's just the way I am." I'm glad thinks got worked out Lifunk, but yeah, you're right, he is kind of a jerk for making you apologize. :shakehead:
Yeah, he's an ass. But you should have seen his face when he went to go brush his teeth and found that his toothpaste was actually hair gel that I put in there to get back at him for the silent treatment!!!! It was unbelieveable!!!! He looked like he was ready to puke :hehe: :hehe:.
The internal bleeding has stopped and the finally stitched his chest up. From what i've been able to gather, they kept his sedated because of the open wound. So now that the closed it up, they can lower the amount of sedation...
He's awake now, and can follow you around with his eyes, and if you ask him to blink, he'll blink... so it seems that he's doing much better. Still has the pneumonia, so most of us hasn't been in to see him yet.
Things are looking up, so now the hopes are of no serious brain damage. We're thinking maybe a week before the ventilator comes off.. then we can start asking questions.

Serious brain dmage?
So the doctors think that there is some brain damage? :sweat: :sweat:

well, he was down for about 5-10 minutes before the EMT's got there, so we dont know if he was breathing during that time or not since his lungs had collapsed... plus the severe swelling didn't give us too much good hopes...
slowly but surely is how we're taking it.. i think there's a EEG test planned for weds.

Oh. Possible oxygen starvation. :sweat: :sweat:

not sure if the EEG will or wont show brain damage, but it's something they keep doing... It does showbrain activity, and i guess that if there's something abnormal then that means there's an issue there.

Yeah, I thought that the EEG would just show brain activity, but not actually point out damage...
Wow, he's had pneumonia for a while now... Not serious? Typical for his condition? :headscratch:

Can he afford to do that? :headscratch:
Long story short..
he's head chef at an italian rest. in the south bay. people come in and ask if he's there, that's like 75% of the business.. if he's not there, many leave... :hehe:
they'd be screwed if he quit.
