Miss Priss, you make me blush.

I concur with your recommendation for a hot beef injection. Might I suggest a cold one on the side, as well? (Won’t do much for your knee or my hips, but my suggested therapy is like a glass of 2% milk — it goes down smooth and does the body good.)

xxxooo

You may have forgotten how awesome you are, Mrs. Ruettimann, but I know I speak for all of us when I say that we never forgot it for a moment. Here are some of the things I find most awesome about you, because I so closely relate:

Punk rock, the predilection for tubular meat, coffee, blond hair, bad knees, bacon, and fudge packing to the musical glug of vodka.

I’ll keep you in suspense no longer now: the plica tissue across the condyle of my right knee, in the suprapatellar pouch, has responded well to cortisone injections. My doctor even tells me that if I’m able to run without any pain, I can continue running. She said furthermore, in answer to my direct question on the matter, that the cortisone injections could be safely replaced with hot beef injections — “not that it will do you any good” (quoting her exact words). Unfortunately, the patellar tendon of my left knee is still rather inflamed. If it’s not one thing with me, it’s another.

@Jacob I’m not someone who is motivated by feedback, positive or negative. If I wrote my own eulogy, I would say, “It’s too bad she didn’t have more cats.”

@Cols Oh, I’m all about the latte.

@B We are going to Olive Garden because I’m classy like that.

This reminds me of something I’ve thought of a few times in the past: as if a funeral wasn’t sad enough, isn’t it even sadder that the casket-borne will never get to hear the best words ever pronounced about them i.e. their own eulogy?

Can you imagine if one of your family members or friends came up to you and told you what they would say?

Or how about if you wrote your own eulogy?
