Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

OMG. I shouldn’t have hunted around on Flickr. I was actually looking for one of my own pictures and came across this:

There’s a whole slideshow of this person’s experience, too.

It’s a person’s wrist AFTER the cyst surgery and the cast was taken off. OMG. Yikes! I hope people don’t think I tried to off myself. That can’t be good for business!

Here’s mine on the MRI:

Suddenly, I don’t feel so good!

You can’t be scared.

I was feeling a little low energy yesterday (Mr. Pollen, it really is time to go) and decided to stay in. I didn’t have much on my TiVo I felt like watching, but nowadays, I don’t need TV to have something good to watch. Instead, I watched The Carolina Chocolate Drops recent concert in Amsterdam and Al Gore’s recent Ted talk about the climate crisis. A seriously uplifting evening of viewing, and it was all free, thanks to my glorious interwebz. If you’re so inclined, I offer my evening to you, next time you’re feeling uninspired and need a lift.My favorite song in the set is “Hit’m Up Style”. You can easily get to that by going straight to the direct concert page and double-clicking on Track 17. This track has this intense driving rhythm and a powerful kickass vocal. Check it out.

Here are my pictures from the event (the set is growing every day) and a video of the crowd warming up for her:

No time for a real post about this right now, but I can share this for those not on Twitter:

Everyone on Flickr is FTFO because of the introduction of videos on Flickr. My only gripe is that they are all lumped in with the photographs, which I don’t think works, but I’m sure they will get that worked out soon enough. The older I get, the more I see that people just HATE change. They really do. I must admit that I don’t really get it. I love change, and I love the adventure of seeing what comes next.

Speaking of which, if you’re new to the Raleigh Group on Flickr, let me recommend that you never ever EVER dare to suggest they change the monthly meeting day. You will be sorry. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
