people who are funnier than i am
Before I post the ponderous thing I'm working on about my own health, you have to read No Milk's story of his trip to the emergency room. I'm half-tempted to pack up my marbles and go home; it's been a little while since I've looked at his blog and in the interim he apparently did a redesign and got even more hysterical than he was when I first linked to him.
He and I also apparently have lived with the same cat.
