Well it might be that with the economic downturn J'inn had to sell his fur to buy his sweetie some chocolates for Valentine's day ala "Gift of the Magi"?

Nah,

Likely he fell asleep in the KAT House when Razor and McCloud were around.......... since they aren't old enough for the bar they have to entertain themselves somehow.......

BTW J'inn is a white kitty, I thinks that's M'ress.............

here is J'inn

I remember Razor telling a drunk J'inn he needed to be more like a lion and less like a pussycat, and McCloud snickering with something hidden behind his back.

Today was a bad hair day. It was hell.

It involved . . . .

1. Flat tire.

2. While driving a brand new car that I had "loaned" from a car dealer.

3. Vehicle was rather expensive. As in there was no way in heck I could ever afford it.

4. It was well below freezing.

5. Flat tire occured while I was on the way to the &^$%&$*(& hospital emergency room. (Way too long of a story there)

6. I had to drive on the flat for a while because there was no shoulder.

7. Auto club refused to come help because I did not own the car.

8. Car dealer said they would come but it would take a while and they felt real bad that I was *(&$^*(&^$(O$8 bleeding to death!

9. They expressed concern that I was bleeding on their fine leather interior.

10. German cars are a pain in the arse to change a tire on (especially if your blood pressure is dropping fast).

11. The cold really slows bleeding.

12. I called them and told them to come get there damn car and I was leaving it unlocked with the keys in it.

13. I went to the hospital. A friend took me. I owe him a carpet cleaning.

14. The dealership is now calling me about damages.

15. S'Cippy called in the middle of all of this so I hung up on him (Sorry S'Cippy)

16. I got to the hospital and they said "We are very very short staffed and out of beds. BTW how long have you been bleeding like that sir, you look pale?"

17. I sat in the hospital ER for *&%#&%#&%# 7 hours!

18. A few people recognized me from T.V. (don't ask) and said stuff like "I knew all you lawyers hung out in hospitals!" <sigh>

19. When the doctor heard what I did for a living he went from nice to complete monster in 2.5 seconds.

Then to top it all off . . . .

GF came and got me from Hotel Hell (Hospital) . I had planned on getting her a valentine present but now it was too late. So I told her that I couldn't get anything.

After that, my day got significantly worse.

Guess I had better cancel something tomorrow and go to the mall.

So yes, it was a bad hair day.

It could have been worse. I could have been the guy that I was sharing the exam room with (YES SHARING! It was pathetic.) He was about 25 years old and therefore completely ignorant of the type of torture only doctors can inflcit.

I'm laying there on the gurney and I hear (I swear it's true)

NURSE: Somethings up with your colon. The doctor wants to do a colonoscopy just to make sure it's nothing serious.

GUY: Colonoscopy? What's that a fancy x-ray?

J'inn: <snicker>

NURSE: No it a procedure that allows the doctor to look inside your colon.

GUY: How?

J'inn: <snicker>

NURSE: Well they take a camera and . . . . . . . (left out so as not to scare the younguns;)

GUY: You have GOT to be kidding me!

NURSE: First we got to give you something to clean you out.

GUY: <whimper>

J'inn: <snicker>

So, yes my day could have been worse.

-------

No, my "issues" came up before I got in the car. At the time it was the only car I had. Mine is in the shop. AGAIN Grrrrr.

J'inn,

A coupla pointers from someone who's spent a good deal o time with folks of the bleeding persuasion.

#1- Direct pressure - Apply pressure to the site of the bleeding. Depending on the size of the bleed and the amount of blood lost, proceed to step 2.

#2 - Elevate injured extremity while continuing to hold pressure.

#3 - Pressure points. Simply put, its where the arteries are closet to the skin and near a bone, facilitating the stoppage of blood flow. In the arms its the brachial artery (between your bicep and elbow) the legs its the femoral artery (basically in hip socket near groin). Any injury to the head should NOT use the carotid artery as a pressure point (for hopefully obvious reasons) The noggin is very vascular with alot of blood vessels so you'll bleed what seems to be alot, but its not as bad as a direct arterial injury. There are techniques for using a pressure point for a head injury, but its usually a last resort kinda thing.

#4 - Not to overstate the obvious, but next time you're bleeding enough to make yourself worry, call 911. Saves ALOT of time, and you get preference at the ER (no waiting) not to mention IV fluids and bandages.

P.S. If you are famous enough that people recognize you from TV, its time to start capitalizing on said fame. Demand star treatment, name drop, whatever it takes to get the bleeding stopped. Then get a good lawyer when they laugh at you.

Hope it helps (albeit belatedly)
Here endeth the lesson.

Hope your feelin better.

Does this mean I can't hit you with the rolling pin for a while?

Sorry to hear about your day, J'inn.

I'll try to hold off KRolling with her rolling pin, but damn, she wields that thing like a samarai. No problem, I'll just drink my invincible potion (aka. Tequila) and be better in no time.

GORN TO THE RESCUE!!! HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAY !!! (Mighty mouse is my hero)
