I’m back, and minus one gall bladder. I’m pretty sore, but I’m in between pain med doses. Everything went fine, except for getting out this morning like I hoped. I didn’t get home until 4:30! So, off to go score. Thanks to the thread baby sitters! ---

Fourth from the bottom? Well, I ain’t no expert on the game, clearly. Yeah, gall bladders, lot of that going around. Thanks, **Dolores** , for playing through the pain. You’re the Tiger Woods of SDMB feuds! ---

Mmmmmmm… Dennis Eckersley… heh heh heh. Hey, thanks, **Dolores** , as always you rock! (figuratively speaking – as far as gall bladders are concerned, I guess **not rocking** is a better idea.) And thanks, **Ace309**. I love baseball, I just don’t know much about the details. But them pitchers – heh heh. ---

Well, I learned something today. I was trying to figure out who the hell this Herb Washington person was that I’d never heard of before. Good stuff. The place-kicker of professional baseball. ---

Hey! I finally won one! Guess my best chance is for a Feud in which fewer than the maximum participate! [QUOTE=Asimovian] Well, I learned something today. I was trying to figure out who the hell this Herb Washington person was that I’d never heard of before. Good stuff. The place-kicker of professional baseball. [/QUOTE] After I submitted my answers, I was moved to go to Wikipedia to see what Herb is doing now, and so discovered he owns a bunch of McDonald’s outlets in Ohio and western Pennsylvania. Since I grew up in the Cleveland area and lived there until moving to Lafayette in 2001, it’s possible I’ve put a bit of money in Herb’s pocket. Glad your surgery went well, **Dolores**!
