What significant things have I done today?

The thought of taking up rugby or moving to Glasgow occurred to me, but I didn't want to be first to lower the tone.

Nice to know there is a disease for which the medieval bloodletting techniques actually work. They didn't mention leeches at all I suppose?

Hope the treatment gets things back to normal pronto. I expect the evil socialist/nazi NHS have already suggested you have any siblings checked over for it too.

Maybe find a young lady with vampiristic tendencies to assist you?

I like this idea.

And the leeches, if only for the revulsion you could cause walking down the street...

Yes, the doc suggested my brother gets checked out. Seems reasonable, it's a recessive genetic condition, so he has a 1 in 4 chance of having it.

Nevertheless leaches are actually better with your veins than the regular hypodermic needle, sounds creepy but wait 'till that vein stops cooperating and it may sound more agreeable.

Today leeches aren't used for letting blood, the amount one leach can drink is pretty small and once used that leech is considered contaminated an can't be used again. The main use is to prevent clogging in the finer vessels after reattaching a limb or transplantation of a limb as the leeches saliva contain an natural anti clogging agent as well as the leech suck away unwanted blood.

I which you al the luck Pachy, I'm happy they caught this before it got really bad even if it means a lot of displeasure for you.

I got tired of the expiring ink cartridges from HP & all and now I own a cheap laser* (besides, I don't print in color).

* although nowadays you can get them even cheaper.

I missed this post somehow. I think that is exactly what I need to do, once my finances are caught up.

I recommend both the printer and the site to buy it, BTW.

Thank you! I bookmarked it.

Finished this week's assignments for my MSc.

Mind, it was sheer hell, and I only got 60.6% on the quiz, although according to the blurb over 59% in marked work is a merit but I don't somehow think that applies to quizes.

I keep thinking about giving up. Very tired and depressed which is taking all the enjoyment out of it and making it next to impossible.

Never mind this unit is on well-being which is less than funny as I don't have any well-being.

[Opsa]

Keep going, Griffin! You're getting there!

It might be safer to go and rant in the rant forum.

And here I thought German trains were the only ones on time...

Tiling my parents' kitchen.

I babysat my closest friend's little 1 1/2 year old boy last night!

I was prepared for the worst, a evening filled with screaming and crying but everything went as easy as it possibly could! Not a tear or even a dissatisfied sound, putting him to bed and get him to sleep soundly took less than 10 minutes...

I'm happy it went so well, I guess I'll be babysitting more in the future...
