Well, at least you've got a bit of space to work with.

DO they count the 12 Month Period as a straight 12 Month Period, or do they go by the Calendar or Fiscal Year? That might help you out.

...soon DG will be running around in purple shorts screaming "Puny requesters, Glob got!"

DJ, this legitimately made me laugh out loud.  Ha!  :lol:

More steroids, more x-rays, and nothing. Not even a friendly glow in the dark...

What about purple pants and the want to talk in verb-noun only phrases while refering to yourself in third person?

Glob not know; Glob tired and going to sleep.

Ha!  'Doctors always bothering Glob!  Glob just want to be left alone!'

They have closed the bridge to Dauphin Island; the west end of the island is suffering severe erosion damage.
Gulf Shores is supposed to have closed he bridge over the Intercoastal Waterway; the express bridge was still open last I heard.
Bayou La Batre is asking people to evacuate along the Bayou and some rather low, swampy places, and to please evacuate if you live in a house trailer.
Most cities around here have issued a curfew.
The Mobile River is backing up; not too high yet, and funnily enough the Causeway over the Bay is still open... but not for long.
They will close the raised expressway over The Bay shortly. The wind is getting bad.
"The Usual Suspects", those places in town that usually flood are doing just that.
It's funny to watch the newer newsmen and women out in driving rain trying to deliver a report. What's really funny is that a couple deliver their reports while looking at their phones, and the rain is getting so bad they can't read them.
The hail is banging on my air conditioner. Branches keep falling out of trees onto the house. We are getting the feeder bands. No lightning yet. Or tornadoes.
It is supposed to be aimed more at Biloxi, but we are on the worst side of the storm (there is no good side).
Last report I saw said that there was some disorganization going on, but it might still be a Category 2 at landfall. Or it might not; it's a hurricane.
We are at least six hours away from landfall.
I could have done without a hurricane this year. Or the next. Or... :(

Still have power and internet, but I'm signing off. I keep hearing the transformers or whatever going "Room... room" in the distance, and the lights are flickering.

Take care and stay safe.

Glad you came through, DG!  My family is in Ocean Springs, but they seem to all have come through well enough.

Yeah, Ocean Springs was practically on the eye wall; we were sixty miles away. I'm glad they are alright. Spyderman lives someplace over toward Pensacola; they had some tornadoes over there...

Yeah, it was getting a bit breezy :P

Mainly lots of rain. I kept my eyes on the tornado warnings they were issuing, and luckily, none got close to where I was.

Also, I learned over the weekend that nowadays, Tornado Warning doesn't just mean that a tornado has been spotted (which is what I've always been taught), but that a thunderstorm has started to experience rotation, which may or may not turn into an actual tornado. So it was kind of like a Tornado Watch, but a bit closer to touchdown. Kind of like when you shake one of those Tornado-in-a-Jar things really poorly. :P

Glad to hear that everybody else is doing well! I'm super glad that Nate didn't turn into a Cat 2, let alone a Cat 3 :P

...but I ended up in the hospital. Apparently, several of the meds I was taking had ganged up on me to give me congestive heart failure.

This gettin' old is no fun.

Doing alright. I had thought the problem was still the aftereffects of the ruptured disks, but the osteopath decided that I needed to get things checked out. He suggested the emergency room (He thought it might be a pulmonary embolism). They admitted me to the hospital to relieve the fluid in my chest.

My alpha female is still mad at me for staying away overnight without permission (not that she would have given it).

BentonGrey

Man, well I'm glad you got to the hospital and got it treated.  I hope that things improve quickly. 

Ha, cats are unforgiving masters in general!

Even the meds are trying to put you down, eh?

When will the world learn that DaGlob is not so easily vanquished?

Sorry that the situation is getting more and more complicated, Glob. But you've been doing great job pushing through the muck so far from the sounds of it!

I've been joking about being able to remember plots to comic books from the '60s and not being able to remember last week, saying that the hormone therapy has three side effects: water retention, osteoporosis, and I forget the third... but now I find that strong chemotherapy (and what I had was strong; that was why they put in a chemo port)  causes memory problems and loss of mental acuity. The problems may take years to recover from, and in some cases it's permanent.

This definitely counts as "The Ugly". I'm so happy I could plotz.

Deaths Jester

Plotz over there...not near me.

Course, if you forget folks birthdays or such, you have an instant out.

Or you could start drinking...I hear that something something bleargh....

Oh man, DG, I'm sorry.  That is really tough.  It's a terrible thing to lose our faculties.  I hope that the effects aren't too bad and that the recovery is swift. 

And hopefully you'll still remember the important things...like those 60s comics.  :)
God Bless

Well, at least you get the luxury of forgetting the horrific crap going on in the world right now. There is an upside there...
