    Might be thinking of someone else; I work in healthcare tech, not insurance.

    Rant: basement freezer door was left partially open...again.

    Rant/Rave? Top shelves fully defrosted and food needs pitched, but food on lower shelves was still frozen solid

    RANT: Lots of layoffs at work today. A few close friends were impacted. Never seen morale so low at a company as I did today.

    RAVE: I was able to protect me and my teams, so we all made it through. My peeps do good work, and people know that.

    RAVE: Just got the call. Grandson is on his way (will be induced tomorrow)

    RAVE: Bought one of those Dometic fridges so we can bring frozen foods for the new parents to eat.

    RAVE: Jeep, in their brilliance designed the rear outlet to be convertible from Battery On to Ignition On by moving the fuse a slot.

    RANT: Jeep, in their shitty quality control fucked up a bunch on them and moving the fuse just kills all power to the rear outlet. Write ups all over the net. Now we have to remember to turn the fridge off so we don't kill the battery.

    Rant: My wife’s family is batshit sometimes. Her 96-year-old grandmother has severe dementia and broke her hip an week ago. My MIL’s siblings are adamant about having a BBQ in her honor this weekend and essentially forcing her to come to it. That poor woman.

    Rant. What better way to head into your child's birthday week than picking a fight with grandma over unresolved childhood topics. I probably need therapy. Lol.

    Rave: got the whole house water softener installed today.

    Rant: Plumber is still down there working after an early start. I'm scared about how many hours I'm getting billed. They quoted 4-6hrs but this is easily over 6.

    Rant: had to cut fieldwork short today because I woke up this morning in the cheap ass hostel I was staying in with what are clearly bedbug bites on my stomach.

    Having a bedbug infestation is my top fear, so everything is bagged in the detached garage in our old bathtub (try climbing that fuckers and being washed in stages. Also had to strip naked outside. Sorry neighbours.

    Suitcase has to be thrown away.

    I now have to hope my clothes survive washing at 95 degrees

    Rant: Had a seizure Saturday night, went via ambulance, been in the hospital since then, though now in my second hospital, may be having surgery to remove a brain tumor in the morning. Good times. If I don't make it, peace out, y'all. I had a great time!

    I know this is a no response kinda thread but I can't just leave this. Man Rush, I'm sure I'm not in the minority that is sending you all of the positive vibes I can. I hope everything goes as well as it possible can. The internet is a strange place and message boards are even more so but there is still a bond of sorts, you don't come to the same place everyday to interact with the same people and not care about them, it's just impossible. Wishing you and your family strength and listen up, YOU have to get better. If you don't who will be the Boobmaster around here?

    I hate that I can relate to you. I know all the emotions. It's no exaggeration to say that this is the scariest life can be. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, just want to vent, whatever. I'm pulling for you. We all are. Brain tumors suck. But trust me, you can get through this and live to be retarded like me!

    Rant: I don't believe there is a person on Earth that can handle the job with the same tact and grace that Rush does. It's more than the boobie knowledge he has, and just asking for boob pics from members. He has impeccable timing, the way he drops boobie pic requests, it seems appropriate, like he were asking a neighbor to borrow a cup of sugar.

    Rave2: Met with neurosurgeon this morning. No surgery for now. Going to do regular MRIs for the next several months to monitor and take anti-siezure meds for 6 months to start.

    Rant: Means I can't drive so will be adjusting to that new normal.

    Rave3: many many thanks to all the well wishes and positive thoughts from this crazy crew. Love y'all!

    I think that it's only right to flood the boobie thread with get well wishes, no? Rush has been around since the beginning, and coming from a female member of this board, I agree with @Fiveslide - never begged in a perverted way, but always had an apropos request.
