Eh, as long as we’re still here: he mentioned that she’s had the lump for a long time, and that she just never got it checked out. (However, that’s sort of a good baseline setting with her - I’m not accustomed to assuming that someone is lying, from the get-go, and where hose-beast 😃 is concerned, I think that’s the way to go.) But not the case here. Back to your regularly-scheduled end-of-thread reindeer games. ---

I think the mods have abandoned us. Come to think of it, I’m not sure they ever locked the last couple of monthly rant threads, either. ---

> [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > Well, hey, I just realized nobody told me I’m going to hell for what I admitted upthread, so … there’s that. Yay. Probably because we’d all feel the same in your situation! God knows I had thoughts like that when we were housing a guy who had been kicked out of the condo he owned because his soon-to-be-ex wife had told the police he’d abused her kids. He came to work the next day in the same clothes and my husband brought him home. We had him for 10 months… ---

Are we still supposed to be complaining about stuff that happened in August here in this thread? Is that why it’s still open? Or is the sole reason so that we can rant about it still being open? ---

No, no, no, nooooooooooooo!! UTI month is _over_, dammit! Dad is home from the hospital and doing well. We do NOT need another episode. Somebody lock this thread, fast! Think of the (vintage) children! (Dad is 71 and describes himself as a vintage child) ---
