  1. Having had the dubious pleasure of driving The Bride of Monster to the hospital to have a kidney stone ultrasonically blasted to bits, and back home with large receptacles into which she collected her bloody urine and the stone fragments over the next two weeks....

    Prior to that experience, I thought that people who drank bottled water were silly. We now have a water cooler, which we fill with reverse-osmosis goodness, so as to reduce the quantity of crap that might end up in our kidneys.

    Damn. I am not looking forward to passing this stone at ALL. Can we get our financial system to stop drinking from the tap?

We reserve the right to delete comments, but the failure to delete any particular comment should not be interpreted as an endorsement thereof.

In general, we expect comments to be relevant to the story, or to a prior comment that is relevant; and we expect some minimal level of civility. Defining that line is inherently subjective, so try to stay clear of insulting remarks. If you respond to a comment that is later deleted, we may take your response with it. Deleting your comment isn't a personal knock on you, so don't take it as such.

We allow a variety of ways for commenters to identify themselves; those who choose not to do so should take extra care. Absent any prior context in which they may be understood, ironic comments may be misinterpreted. Once you've earned a reputation for contributing to a conversation, we are likely to be more tolerant in those gray areas, as we'll understand where you're coming from.
