Oh Leisel - that sounds so awful. Can he not get some kind of medical leave or something? Or does he have his own practice? I know it really sucks that you can't hlep. I hate htat feeling.
Sorry to hear about your dad too, Loopy. That's so sad.
No, I mean 18-20 year olds. They were girls whose parents were extreme fundie churches. And they couldn't function in the world. I met them doing literacy tutoring.
Random thought of the night: Would mermaids have permanently prune-y fingers? Or would they adapt and have regular de-pruned fingers. But in that case, if they were out of the water, would their fingers crack and dry?
Mermaids - I would think there fingers would have a special oil or something that kept them from getting wrinkly fingers. Or their skin would be adapted. The would have smooth fingers.

We sent out thank you cards last night in regular post & people received them this afternoon, very impressed with Canada Post right now.
Also got a text from a florist we met with yesterday and he already has a sample of our centrepiece ready for him to see him that he made to look like the picture I showed him. I'm excited to see that =D
Any - I've had those thoughts. I don't think they have pruney fingers. They probably have some kind of membrane or something covering their skin that keeps it from getting water logged. This membrane also keeps their skin moisturized enough above water to keep their skin from getting dry and cracked. Not for overly long though - but they certainly could spend a day lounging in the sun on a rock in the rainbow lagoon.

Lizzie and Poke - he can get people to cover some of his cases, but definitely not that many. He has his own corporation but the group covers three different hospitals so they see quite a bit of action, so to speak. He's an interventional radiologist - they do things like repair aneurysms using catheters and scopes instead of opening up someone's chest. It's actually a really cool field, but there aren't that many people in the area who do those procedures. And he's a professor at the medical school here and is the head of the radiology residency program, so he's got a lot of shiiit to do, haha. Plus, he just really enjoys what he does, so even if taking some kind of leave was an option, I don't think he'd do it.

I'm currently trying to keep my mind off of job hunting (it stresses me out so bad) and I'm writing my millions of fundraising letters for Team in Training. I'm trying to keep them all somewhat personal and writing notes on the ends of all of the letters I wrote that make it less "this is what I'm sending everyone, send me money" - but my hand is cramping. This fundraising stuff is HARD.
Especially with X and Gator starting at me asking me why I'm not petting them.
Leisel and Loops I'm sorry about your dads
Ldy I'm glad you are liking Gboro!
Any since human skin is kind of waterproof so I'd assume whatever makes it do that, mermaids simply wouldn't have.
