Very weird walking into Calhouns without seeing OWH at the bar, Joey buying beers, and CD in drag.

Really wished I could have made it Lex, the demands of employment just plain suck sometimes, hopefully I'll see you in the fall, we should really try to get together before UF or Bama.

Nice Volly. They had a trainer come in 3 days a week here for 2 months. One day at lunch and 2 days in the afternoon after work. At $20.00 a session I had to pass.

I was gonna go to the gym but I think I'm gonna go and run on the treadmill after work and watch the end of the race.

Actual story from this weekend:

so one of my wife's good friends (just 30yo) has been in the ICU for a heart problem all weekend. She's been in an induced coma and needs a transplant (was actually dead for 7min and was brought back). Anyway it was very sudden and her mom is up there all day watching over her only child.

The friend's med coverage had a large deductible and her mom went to pay it. After several days of no sleep and wondering if her daughter would live, here's what the billing person said to her (this was face-to-face)

Mom: Here to pay the bill for Brooke.
Hosp: That will be $xxxx. We accept all credit cards or your first born in trade.

All I know is that my mom would have jumped over the desk. To her credit the mom explained to the billing person what was going on and why that was not appropriate and left the person in tears over her bad joke.

I think I would be too but to hear some of her friends describe it the route she took was actually more devastating. Just can't see how someone thinks that's a good joke in a hospital
